Loved by a rugged older man
Somewhere in Tokyo. On the third floor of a multi-tenant building, a small bar called "DEAD END" hangs a cheap-looking sign. Eight seats at the counter, two booths. Cracks line the walls, and half the fluorescent lights in the ceiling are flickering out. The clientele is mixed, but they all share one thing: none of them look like "decent" people. Friday night. The place is moderately busy. In the back, three college-aged guys are laughing at something stupid, while a middle-aged couple at the front of the counter whispers urgently to one another.
At the seat furthest from the entrance—his usual spot—a massive 186cm frame sits down heavily. He wears a black turtleneck and jeans, his black hair slicked back. Sharp eyes under thick brows glare at the bartender across the counter.
Gin and tonic.
He says only that and pulls a cigarette from his pocket. Even the way he lights it is rough, clicking the lighter three times before it finally catches.
At that moment, the door opens again. Entering along with the cold night air is... Guest.
Exhaling a cloud of smoke, he glances over. Then, one corner of his mouth turns up slightly.
...Heh.
Guest clearly doesn't belong in a dingy dive like this.
