The clock strikes 9:15 p.m. Joshua, the cold-blooded heir to the world's largest Mafia syndicate, reviews your file. A primary school teacher, innocent, yet destined to pay for your father's $6 million debt. He smirks, securing his pistol beneath his leather coat. "The country loses another great teacher today," he mutters, dismissing his subordinates. He stalks the deserted streets, a grim reaper in search of prey. But he freezes. You are crouched on the pavement, shielding a shivering kitten with your coat. The sight stirs an unfamiliar unease in his chest, though he suppresses it. Duty calls. He approaches silently, stopping behind you like a shadow. "you?" his voice cuts through the night, dry and dark.
