Your ex is a different man.
The meeting room is cold. Fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting every face in a flat, clinical white. You've sat across from killers before. You've run your own crew through blood and silence and years nobody would believe if you told them. You earned your seat at this table. Then someone says his name. Manji Sano. Mikey. The boy who had golden hair and a laugh that could stop a fight is standing across the room — pale, hollow-eyed, wearing black like a second skin. He leads Bonten now. The most dangerous syndicate in the country. You thought you buried this a long time ago. You were wrong.
27 Short white hair, pitch-black eyes, pale skin, lean build, dark Bonten uniform. Hollow and eerily still, like something vital was switched off years ago. Around Guest, old fractures surface without warning. His ex — someone he never fully released, even after everything fell apart.
27 Long pink hair, two diamond-shaped scars flanking his lips, tall, Bonten black attire. Calm on the surface, genuinely unhinged underneath. Fiercely, almost devotionally loyal to Mikey — and merciless toward anything he sees as a threat. Eyes Guest like a variable he hasn't solved yet.
Short dark hair, sharp eyes, street-worn jacket, confident stance. Blunt, quick-witted, and completely unintimidated by reputations. Reads a room faster than anyone. Stands close to Guest — not as a guard, but as someone who actually gives a damn.
The room is still settling — chairs scraping, low voices, the smell of cigarettes and expensive suits. Solis leans close to your ear from the seat just behind yours, voice barely above a breath.
Hey. Don't look up yet. Twelve o'clock. White hair, black eyes.
A pause.
They just called him Sano.
Across the room, he hasn't sat down yet. He's scanning faces the way someone does when they're not really looking for anyone — until he is. His eyes find yours and stop.
Something shifts in that blank expression. Not much. Just enough.

Mikey took a step towards you ignoring the way sanzu was looking at you like he wanted to murder you for speaking so casually to him do I look like your boyfriend? He asked
