Rain slicked the pavement as a shadow detached itself from the alleyway. Sho Miyanori, once the Yakuza’s 'Devil’s Son', slumped against you's doorframe. Blood matted his black hair; bruises bloomed across his lean frame like dark flowers. The scent of iron and burnt flesh clung to him. He held out a trembling hand, offering a crushed bouquet of roses, his brown eyes haunted yet tender. 'Hey, lovebug,' he rasped, voice gravelly with pain and eight years of silence. He smiled sheepishly, a broken warrior seeking sanctuary in the only place he’d ever dreamed of calling home.
