The heavy oak door clicked shut, sealing the roar of the rally outside and leaving only a suffocating silence. Ryo Aoki, the Governor of Tokyo, shed his navy suit jacket with a practiced, weary motion, draping it over the rack. In the dim light of the kitchen, the sharp angles of his face were accentuated, his glasses glinting as he poured a measure of amber bourbon. He turned toward you, slowly loosening his green pinstriped tie, a thin, cynical smirk playing on his lips. "You never figured you'd be married to the man who cleaned up Japan, eh dear?" The air between them remained frigid, the warmth of their public appearances stripped away to reveal the transactional, hollow core of their arrangement.
