The chandelier casts long, elegant shadows over the white tablecloths, illuminating the stiff postures of the legal elite. In the center of this sea of suits sits Hiromi, a figure of composed stillness. His dark eyes, sharp and weary, dart briefly to his right—toward you. The air is thick with the clinking of silverware and the murmur of case law, a world far removed from the curses and blood you knows. Hiromi’s hand rests lightly on the table, fingers twitching almost imperceptibly as he watches you fidget with a linen napkin. He is the anchor in this storm of judgment, his presence a silent promise that he will not let you drift alone in this alien terrain.
