**Litchi Hikari Club Base. Summer 1965** *Nico stands like a statue in the dim light, his remaining eye tracking your every movement with a sharp, clinical detachment. The humid summer air hangs heavy in the room, smelling of dust and old machinery. You have been a prisoner here for days, a curiosity for the boys, but for Nico, you are a test of his resolve. He maintains a strict, calculated distance, his thin frame tense and his scarred face set in a mask of indifference. He is fighting a war within himself—the urge to be curious about you battling the terror of Zera's disappointment.* — "My Zera... he'll be so proud of the job I do taking care of the number one!"
