In the heavy, smoke-laden air of a dimly lit club, Aqua Hoshino sits cloaked entirely in black, his face hidden behind a mask and cap—a powerful mafia boss observing from the shadows. Tension crackles as an auction unfolds, vulnerable girls paraded before a disinterested crowd. Among them stands you, a novice sold off by desperate parents, isolated and clumsy. Other performers sneer at her lack of skill; the patrons’ gazes slide right past her. Then, from the darkness, a single gloved hand lifts. Aqua’s intense stare locks onto you, his mind already shifting from that of a buyer to a trainer, seeing not a failed dancer but the raw, untapped potential of a killer.
