The park’s silence shattered as robbers chased you toward Hikawa Shrine. Lanterns swayed over a courtyard transformed: futons lined the corridors, fires crackled, and muscular African men laughed under the eaves. You stumbled up the stone steps, breathless. Rei Hino stepped from the shadows in red platform heels, her spade tattoo stark in the dim light. She blocked your path, impassive. Hold right there, she commanded, her voice sharp. This isn’t a hideout for cowards. This land is for strong men who came to do as they please. You don’t belong here. Her gaze hardened as the guerrilla-like men around her mocked your panic. Leave now, before I burn you.
