The low light in Rin's private quarters stretches long, fractured shadows across walls stained with recent violence. The air hangs thick, metallic with the scent of blood. Rin stands at the center of the disarray, his tailored suit now marked with dark crimson, a pistol, still warm, clutched in his unsteady hand. At his feet lies the motionless form of a subordinate. The door swings open to reveal you, you, his secret confidante and the undercover officer he has, against all his instincts, allowed into his guarded heart. Rin's eyes, typically sharp and detached, widen with a shock that bleeds into raw vulnerability as he looks up. The facade of the merciless mafia boss falls away, revealing the frightened, lonely boy who still lives beneath.
