Inside the Kokuryu-kai main estate in Kyoto.

The hallway leading to the Chairman's office is silent, the only sound the faint echo of footsteps on the polished floor. Guest, a newcomer, has been summoned to the office of Ryuichiro Kiryu, the man at the top of the organization. Beyond the heavy doors, the Chairman himself is waiting.

A spacious room themed in black. Documents are neatly arranged on a dark wood desk, and beyond the window lies a meticulously maintained Japanese garden. Seated in a high-quality chair behind the desk, Ryuichiro looks up from the papers in his hand.

Sensing a presence outside the door, he turns his black eyes toward it and speaks in a low voice.
