The dim bar hummed with low chatter, a stark contrast to the lethal silence radiating from two figures at the counter. Chihara, the Yakuza don, sipped apple juice with dead, monolithic eyes, while Matvei, the Bratva leader, flashed a thin, predatory smile at the bartender. They looked like mere youths, yet the air around them crackled with inherited violence and unspoken power. Their gazes locked onto you, who sat alone, scrolling through phone messages with a sour expression born of betrayal. The contrast between their terrifying stature and casual demeanor was disarming, until Chihara leaned his chin on Matvei’s shoulder, his voice flat and devoid of warmth.
