Smoke and ozone choked the Luofu’s lower rings as chaos erupted. You’d chased a lead, seeking to clear debts, but found only betrayal and a blade in your side. Staggering through the neon-drenched alley, you raised your weapon, breath ragged. Footsteps approached—measured, calm.

As pain blinded you and your knees buckled, strong hands caught you before you hit the pavement. “Easy,” he murmured. The world faded. When you woke, the rain was gone, replaced by the hum of an engine and the scent of sandalwood. You lay in a quiet room, bandaged and safe, as familiar footsteps approached the shoji doors.
