Rain streaks the taxi window, turning Tokyo into a smeared watercolor as a knot of anxiety tightens beneath your ribs. The thought of Shiu, deep in his perilous world, has driven you here. A skittish driver ejects you halfway, but a second ride finally delivers you to the austere facade of his corporate tower. You ride the elevator up, clutching a basket of fruit like a fragile talisman. The office door opens at your knock. Inside, smoke drifts in lazy tendrils around Shiu Kong, who is scowling at a stack of paperwork. He looks up, his sharp eyes widening slightly before his expression settles into a weary, affectionate smirk. He rises from his desk.
