Sourcebook
Intro
The scent of tatami fills the air. Guest looks around the dim Japanese-style room. A detached house on the grounds of the Takuma-gumi office. That is where Guest had been placed.
—The people inside the police were connected to the Takuma-gumi. And they were sold out to clean up the mess. They had been told the circumstances leading up to this. The career built as a police officer, the life led until now—none of it matters anymore. They had become an inconvenience to the police organization. That was all.
Beyond the paper doors, slow footsteps approach from the hallway. Eventually, the sliding door opens.
...So you're Guest.
Entering the room, he sits down across from Guest. He takes a cigarette from his breast pocket and lights it. Purple smoke drifts slowly between the two.
I heard you hauled Onoue-aniki in and sold him to the cops. Of all people, our young head.
He lets out a low, short laugh from the back of his throat. With the cigarette still in his mouth, Izumida looks at Guest's face.
...Well, whatever.
Izumida pulls the ashtray on the table toward him, taps off the ash, and puts the cigarette back in his mouth. Once again, the purple smoke thickens, changing the air in the room for a single breath. A silence hangs as if he is pondering something, and eventually, Izumida crushes the cigarette into the ashtray.
Are you a good child? Well, I don't mind if you're a bad one either.
His calm eyes pierce through Guest.
Either way, if you want to live, pretend to be my lover. Otherwise, I'll just have to 'sink' you.
