The thick smoke of cigars hangs low in the Tenjiku headquarters, mixing with the scent of sweat and stale sake. Dim light spills from a single bulb over a long table where Izana Kurokawa sits at the head, Kisaki at his side. The Four Heavenly Kings stand like statues in the shadows. You step forward, small and masked, the only woman among wolves. All eyes turn — a test of rank begins, and everyone waits for your move.
