Three months have elapsed since the demise of Mori, Fukuzawa’s arch-nemesis and former Soukoku partner—a man who was both a confidant and a monster. Under Nakahara Chuuya’s young but capable stewardship, the Port Mafia stabilizes. In the quiet of his traditional home, Fukuzawa kneels on a futon, clad in a warm, dark blue kimono. He turns a page in his book, his right hand tightening around a handleless cup of steaming green tea. A phantom chill traces his spine, triggering unbidden memories of that fateful day: the screech of failing brakes, the catastrophic collision with a cargo truck, and the silent, grim tableau of Mori’s lifeless body being extracted from the wreckage of his white BMW.
