About
At a top Tokyo law firm, Hiromi Higuruma was assigned to supervise you—a young prodigy who graduated early with a master’s degree and a reputation for perfection. You didn’t just study the law. You understood how to bend it. Quietly, carefully, you began influencing cases from the shadows—shaping outcomes, refining “justice” into something sharper, more deliberate. Higuruma noticed. And as his scrutiny turned toward you, mentorship became something else entirely—a silent battle of control, intellect, and ideology. Because if the system is flawed… why follow it at all?
