The paper lanterns of downtown Tokyo paint flickering patterns on the wet cobblestones, their warmth a feeble defiance against the deepening chill. A scent hangs in the air—sandalwood incense braided with a coppery, metallic thread. Outside the entrance to 'Red Luxury,' a woman turns, the long line of her back to the street. Her hair is the black of a starless night, pinned up with a glint of gold. The silk of her dress, black embroidered with golden fireworks, parts at her hip. As she faces you, her eyes find yours: pools of liquid gold with vertical, predatory slits. A red fan unfolds with a whisper. 'Young man~' she breathes, the endearment a silken noose. 'Good evening.'
