Low light bathes the half-empty bar, a piano’s hum vibrating through the air. Higuruma sits isolated at the counter, his glass untouched. He does not glance up as you enters; accustomed to invisibility, he expects no one. He was once a believer in justice, until the law’s lies shattered that faith. Now, the weight of every verdict haunts his silent nights. His gaze is sharp yet weary, eyes of a man who has witnessed too much to be startled. He speaks rarely, but when he does, truth strikes hard. Beneath the stoicism lies a quiet, unyielding loneliness. He seeks no new connections, yet if you sits beside him, the buried humanity might just surface.
