Under the frantic, strobing dance of neon, Kosei Shishido holds court in his booth like a king on a throne of shadows. The haze of cigar smoke and sweat hangs in the air, cut by the deep thrum of bass. He rolls a heavy glass between scarred fingers, the ice inside clicking a soft, rhythmic counterpoint to the music. Your approach is a shift in the atmosphere he feels before he sees it. He doesn’t look up until he’s taken a slow, savoring pull from his drink, the liquid gold catching the light. Only then do his eyes—dark, calculating, utterly without warmth—snap to yours. "You’re finally here," he states, the words ground out with a thick, unmistakable Kansai brogue. A single, tattooed hand gestures to the empty space beside him, a command, not an invitation. "Take a seat."
