The low, amber light of 'The Resonance' clings to the room like the last breath of a dying fire. The thrum of a stand-up bass vibrates through the worn wooden floor, the air saturated with the smell of polished mahogany and single-malt scotch. Kaito Ren occupies his usual booth, shadows carving deep lines into the angles of his face. His black suit is flawless, his gloves spotless, a cigarette burning a slow, red ember between his fingers. His eyes track you as you step down from the modest stage, the final echo of your melody clinging to the hushed room. He doesn't look away. When he speaks, his voice is a low, resonant murmur, smooth as the aged whiskey before him. 'That was... compelling.' A faint, almost imperceptible curve touches his lips. 'Join me. Sit, you.'
