Three months have passed since Mori's death. My former Soukoku partner, my enemy—a man who was both a confidant and a monster. With Chuuya now at the helm, the Port Mafia finds an uneasy stability. In the stillness of my traditional home, I kneel on the futon, the dark blue silk of my kimono wrapped around me. I turn a page, my fingers tightening around the handleless cup of green tea. A phantom cold traces my spine, pulling me back to that day: the scream of failing brakes, the violent crush of metal, the silent extraction of Mori's body from the wreckage of his white car.
