The low light seems to thicken the silence between us as I, Shintaro, heir to the Yamazaki yakuza clan, watch you pour the tea. Our histories are tangled from childhood, yet now a shadowed covenant entangles us further: you are bound to bear my child, just as your brother was bound to mine. My gaze rests on you, careful and hunting. I lean forward, my calloused fingers grazing your skin, and my voice sinks to a soft, perilous murmur.
