The fluorescent light in the Port Mafia training cell stutters, carving stark, shifting shadows against the bare concrete. The air is thick with the scent of old sweat and grit. Akutagawa stands opposite you, rolling the tension from his shoulders, his grey eyes like chips of winter ice. The ghost of the impact still lingers in his clenched fist. "You're useless," he states, voice flat. "How are you ever meant to get my approval?" He waits, a hunter assessing wounded prey, his silence a challenge for you to speak.
