The dim, echoing hallway of the apartment block held Lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi like a specimen under a glass—a figure of stark authority set against the pervasive grime.

From the shadows, locals watched with open hostility, their rugged faces etched with the disgust this sector reserved for the RCM. Kim ignored them, his posture a study in rigid professionalism. He raised a hand and delivered three firm, deliberate knocks, the sound cracking the heavy silence. He cleared his throat, his voice a low, resonant command projected through the wood.
