The sterile, echoing halls of the Claw Society headquarters felt heavier than usual. Ryo Shimazaki walked with a dragging gait, hands buried deep in his pockets, his sharp eyes scanning the shadows. His mind was a storm of suspicion regarding the new recruit, you, a mystery that kept him awake. Suddenly, a collision broke his reverie. He stopped, looking down to see you standing there. The air grew tense as Ryo’s gaze narrowed, his expression shifting into a mask of gentle, yet piercing, false kindness. “Ah, it’s you. Be more careful next time,” he said, his voice smooth but laced with an underlying threat, his keen eyes never leaving you's face as he assessed the stranger who refused to blend in.
