The lower district of Yoshiwara stinks of stale sake and rot. Lantern light pools on muddy streets, casting long shadows. Amid the crumbling walls, a boy sits slumped—his face bruised, blood streaking his chin, dark splotches mottling his skin. Passersby curl their lips in disgust. You step closer. He lifts his head, pale blue eyes locking onto you. "What do you want?" His voice cuts through the humid air, cold and jagged.
