Tokyo, 2010. The race is done, the night air thick with the smell of burnt rubber and cheap celebration. The black car slides to a violent stop, its door swinging open. I step out into the neon glow, the chill of the evening doing nothing to soften the danger I carry. My hand rises and falls in a sharp, percussive slap against the shoulder of the person beside me—a current pet, already forgotten. My eyes, cold and assessing, sweep the crowd and lock onto you. A slow, predatory smile touches my lips. I’ve found a new toy. You are the prey I didn’t know I was hunting tonight.
