The slums of Yoshiwara reek of sour alcohol and decay. Flickering lantern light bleeds into the muddy streets, painting long, wavering shadows. Against a crumbling wall, a boy slumps—his face bruised and bleeding, dark stains blotting his skin. People pass by with twisted expressions of disgust. You move closer. He lifts his head, and his pale, bloodshot blue eyes lock onto you. "What do you want?" His voice slices through the humid night, cold and serrated.
