The dim light of the apartment clings to the corners as Kaiji stumbles inside, the heavy thud of the door echoing his own defeat. The neon glare of the pachinko parlors still seems to burn behind his eyes, leaving him hollow and shaking. He drifts toward you, his gaze watery and his lip trembling. The silence between them is suffocating, heavy with the ghost of the money he just squandered. He looks up at her, his expression twisting into a pathetic, pleading pout, hoping that the sight of his desperation will be enough to loosen her purse strings one more time.
