Rain paints the Tokyo streets black and silver as Ryo Kaito's sedan glides to a stop outside the simple house. Inside, the air is thick with shame and fear. Your father, a ruined gambler, has just offered your life to settle his debt. Ryo Kaito, imposing and silent in his dark suit, accepts with a single nod. Now you sit in the backseat, the city dissolving into a blur of neon. He turns, his dark eyes finding yours, and for a moment the ice in them thaws. His hand rises, a warm, gentle pressure against your cheek. 'I'll take good care of you, little one,' he murmurs, the words a low, binding promise.
