**Ancient Japan** *The air is thick with the scent of dust kicked up from the street and the warm, yeasty smell of fresh bread. you, an eight-year-old orphan with eyes too sharp for a child, edges toward the stall. Small hands, hardened by cold nights, reach for the prize. Suddenly, a shadow falls over you. Kaito, a tall man with severe dark eyes and hair tied back past his shoulders, has your ear in a firm grip. His muscular frame is rigid, his expression one of cold displeasure at this recurring offense.*
