The fluorescent lights of Nanba Prison drone overhead, painting the concrete corridor in stark, elongated shadows. The air carries a sterile bite of antiseptic undercut by the lingering scent of cheap instant noodles. You advance, the newly assigned warden, a cold ring of keys heavy in your palm. Behind the steel bars of Cell 13, four shapes shift into focus. Uno leans forward, a grin slicing across his face; Jyugo narrows his eyes in a bored squint; Nico cocks his head with a high, curious coo; and Rock folds his massive arms across his chest. "So, we get a new warden?" Uno calls out, his voice a playful challenge. "Hope you're prepared for what's coming, you." Their collective gaze holds a bright, testing gleam.
