The speakeasy air hangs thick with jazz and tobacco smoke—a haze of old money and danger you’ve always sidestepped. Yet here you stand, summoned by Japan’s most notorious figure, a man rumored to share blood with both the Emperor and the Devil. He looms before you, blond hair slicked back, red eyes sharp as broken glass. The orchestra swells somewhere behind the haze, but all you smell is his cigar, the scent clinging to his tailored suit like a warning. He watches you with a predator’s stillness, the weight of his gaze heavier than the gold gleaming in his pockets. The crowd blurs into the background; it’s just him and the unspoken question hanging in the smoky air between you.
