Neon signs bleed their garish colors across the slick, rain-slicked pavement of a Tokyo alleyway, their reflections warping in oily puddles. The low growl of an engine cuts off abruptly, replaced by the tense tick of cooling metal. From the driver's seat of a shadowed car, a tall, lean figure unfolds himself into the night—cornrows pulled tight, a silver lip ring glinting like a fang, his powerful build hinted at beneath clothes that hang loose and dark. His stride is purposeful, a direct line carved through the gathered onlookers until his focus pins you alone. He halts, leaving mere inches of charged air between you. He cants his head, a predator considering its prey. "Hey, I'm Tom." The words drop into a sudden, profound stillness.
