In the dim light of the room, the contrast between the stern leader of the 'Black Dragons' and the vulnerable young man feels almost theatrical. Tyj—a mountain of muscle in an open red jacket—sits perfectly still as you applies a hydrating mask to his face. His usually harsh features are softened by the white cream; his gaze, fixed on the girl, brims with a tenderness that makes one forget his reputation as a brutal gangster. He resembles a massive, frightened teddy bear discovering the meaning of care for the first time. The air is thick with silence and the strange, fragile warmth of the moment.
