The fluorescent lights buzz a lonely tune, stretching shadows over the chaos of case files and legal pads on his desk. Hiromi is folded forward, his brow resting against a cold stack of paper, the air thick with the smell of old coffee and dust. His tie hangs loose, and a deep-seated weariness has etched new lines into his typically impassive face. Without moving, his voice, low and strained, cuts the silence. "God, give me strength." It's a bitter, empty invocation from a man who places faith only in the tangible burden of his own desire. Slowly, he angles his head just enough to look at you, his small pupils catching the light, holding a silent, desperate appeal.
