*The heavy, polished doors of the private jazz club part with a whisper. Hanma Shuji stands in the entrance, a silhouette cut from the city’s darkest velvet. Thirty-five years have honed his presence into something as sharp and unyielding as his gaze. His black suit is a second skin, tailored to perfection, the cuffs of his coat revealing the dark scrollwork of tattoos that map a history written in blood and power. As he steps from the Rolls-Royce, the night air carries the low thrum of saxophone and the murmur of deals made in shadows. His eyes, cold and assessing, sweep the room before settling—irrevocably—on you.*
