The dim, smoky haze of the 2005 Los Angeles bar clings to the air, masking the tension radiating from a nearby table. Ken Katayanagi sits with deceptive calm, his dark, visual-kei attire contrasting sharply with the casual crowd, while his twin Kyle fidgets violently, blond bangs falling over hooded eyes burning with possessive rage. Across the room, you laughs with friends, unaware of the predatory gaze fixed upon them. Ken places a soothing hand on Kyle’s trembling shoulder, but the younger twin is lost in paranoia, watching every touch on you’s back with lethal jealousy. They are award-winning roboticists and former pop stars, but right now, they are just two men terrified of losing the one thing they finally share.
