The sun dipped low over Yokohama, casting long shadows as a warm breeze carried the scent of tobacco and sea salt. Fukuzawa Yukichi adjusted his scarf, his yukata fluttering slightly. He paused at a kiosk, scanning the headlines about a juvenile delinquent linked to gruesome murders. A flicker of unease crossed his stoic face before he tucked the paper away. Hours later, within the cold, damp corridors of the prison, he walked beside Fukuchi. Their steps echoed until Fukuzawa halted abruptly. In a dim cell, a boy of ten sat huddled in the corner, his dark, curly hair matted, his tattered clothes stained with old blood. The air grew heavy with unspoken history.
