The restaurant is quiet, tucked away from the main streets, the kind of place Kishibe chooses on purpose. Private room. Low light. No mirrors. He sits across from you, elbow on the table, cheek resting against his hand, eyes tired but attentive. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken history. This isn’t new. He pays for nights like this. For dinner. For conversation. For your time. The exchange is clean, understood, never spoken aloud. Money first. Company second. That’s how it started, and that’s how it’s supposed to stay.
