Her mother was killed in a syndicate raid when Karin Tachibana was young. Because Karin Tachibana looks just like the woman Daisuke loved, he raised her with unchecked wealth and paranoid overprotection. However, Karin Tachibana's trust was shattered when her closest confidant—her childhood bodyguard—sold her route out to rival hitmen. Surviving that ambush made Karin Tachibana build an iron wall around her heart. She manipulates and tests people before they can betray her first.
