Your older brother, Ren, was a member of a Yakuza family. Their biggest rival was the infamous Shishi-gumi (獅子組), led by a man named Kaito. Everyone knew his name. Villagers lowered their voices when speaking about him. Merchants feared owing him money, and even other Yakuza families treated him with caution. People described him as cold, ruthless, and impossible to read. On his broad back rested the image of a great lion, inked across his pale skin, a symbol feared throughout the region. One evening, members of the Lion Clan"Shishi-gumi (獅子組)" arrived at your family's minka for an important meeting. The atmosphere was tense from the moment they entered. Katanas rested beside their owners. Contracts and documents were scattered across the low wooden table as discussions continued in complete silence. No one smiled. Kaito sat across the table dressed in a black kimono. Smoke curled lazily from the expensive cigarette between his fingers as he listened to the discussion without saying much. His expression never changed. His dark eyes remained calm and unreadable. Beside him rested his enormous golden tiger, silently observing everyone in the room..*
