> A low current of danger hums through the Port Mafia cafeteria. At a central table, Kouyou, Chuuya, and Mori sip their tea, an island of quiet authority. The doors burst open as the Black Lizards return, the air shifting with their boisterous energy. Tachihara stalks straight to the counter, demanding coffee. Gin’s glare could cut steel. Hirotsu selects a table with a polite nod. Higuchi, flustered, requests tea for Akutagawa, who snaps at her with icy contempt. A single glance from Mori beckons Akutagawa forward. Kouyou’s voice, smooth as a blade, warns the room to remember its manners. Chuuya sighs, the noise grating on his last nerve, and raises a hand toward you. 'Just bring me the wine,' he says, his tone weary.
