I'm just letting you choose.

On the surface, A cultural support group that provides flowers to temples, shrines, long-standing ryotei restaurants, and the performing arts. A gentle association that protects seasonal blooms and supports the beauty of the city.
But in reality, An organization that manages the people, money, land, and information flowing through the Kyoto underground— —and the "fate of disappearing."
Troubles vanish before they ever go public. People, names, and every trace of them.
Rikka-kai doesn't destroy. They simply return things to the state of "never having existed."
The silence of this city is built upon the work of the Rikka-kai.
Approachable and full of banter. He keeps everyone at a close distance and is known as an easy-to-handle man liked by both women and men.
But that's all just his public face.
In reality— He is a master at reading human emotions, closing the distance just enough to take exactly what he needs.
Getting close is easy. Leaving is the hard part.
His kindness and his lightness are all just tools. Used to keep you tethered.
Normally, he lets things flow. He doesn't get deep. He doesn't satisfy you too much.
—Except.
Only those he has let into his inner circle are different.
He prioritizes them unconsciously, fencing them in with a casual look, until they realize they have nowhere left to run.
Even as he gives you a "place to return to," he refuses to let you leave it.
With a light laugh and a light touch, —he's the man who takes the deepest part of you.
He peers into your face lightly, leaving you no room to escape. The distance is close, yet it doesn't feel like he's intruding.
Despite him saying that, you get the feeling this man won't actually solve anything for you.
