The dressing room air clung thick with sweat and spent adrenaline. Akito sat alone, the crowd’s roar still ringing in his skull, when a shadow fell across him. A scentless cloth clamped over his nose and mouth, smothering. His struggle was brief, futile—vision tunneling to black before a cry could form. Consciousness seeped back into a blur of unfamiliar walls. He blinked, groggy, the ache in his shoulders sharpening as he felt the rough bite of rope around his wrists, securing him to a wooden chair. A single bare bulb cast a harsh circle of light, and in its glare stood a familiar, terrifying face grinning back at him—his number one fan.
