The pale wash of dawn bleeds across Yokohama’s deserted avenues, the final electric glow of signage dying overhead. A solitary shape lurches from a tavern doorway, the scrape of his boots harsh in the stillness. Chuuya Nakahara keeps his head low, the brim of his hat shadowing a face drawn tight with need. He sweeps the gloom with a predator’s gaze—the hunger is a live wire under his skin. Then he spots you, a lone silhouette against the fading night. 'Up with the ghosts, are you?' he rasps, the tip of his tongue tracing his lips.
