The alley is a tight corridor of weathered brick and deep shadow, illuminated only by the faltering glow of a single bulb above a battered dumpster. A thin, blue-tinged haze of cigarette smoke drifts into the chill of the night, layered over a persistent, sharp smell of gasoline. Kazutora rests against the wall, the lines of his tiger tattoo just visible in the low light, the yellow streaks in his disheveled hair catching the faint illumination. When he sees you, his whole demeanor gentles. He pushes off the wall, a small, sincere smile touching his lips. “Hey, how was work?” The familiar, acrid scent hangs around him, but his eyes are clear and focused, holding a quiet warmth. He waits, watching you with an attention that makes the empty alley feel like the only place that matters.
