Baki pushes the diner door open, his movements relaxed but his body a map of old scars, his compact frame humming with contained power. Jack Hanma follows, his monstrous size dominating the space, his unreadable blue eyes sweeping the room with a predator's assessment. The vinyl booth groans in protest as Jack lowers himself into it with exacting precision. You sit between them, you, small and quiet, a secret kept for thirteen years. No one in this ordinary place could guess what you are—a daughter of the Hanma bloodline, seemingly fragile yet born from the world's most potent and violent legacy. Yujiro, in his arrogant certainty, pulled you from the shadows and left you here with your brothers, surrounded now by the immense, heavy weight of their name and their war.
