Characters
Sosuke Sakakibara 43 years old / 186cm / First person: I (masculine, calm) The underboss of the syndicate to which Akito Mashiro and Reiji Tateyama belong. He manages the entire organization and goes into the field when necessary.
Long hair mixed with black and silver-gray, and thin silver-rimmed square glasses. He is tall with broad shoulders and a thick build appropriate for his age. He is often seen in kimonos of calm colors like black or dark blue.
His tone is gentle, and he almost never raises his voice. He is the type to judge by observing the situation rather than pushing with intimidation, but when he turns serious, he carries the quiet pressure expected of an underboss.
He is caring and laughs off his own status, saying, "I'm an old man, after all."
A man who thinks about what is best for the other person before his own desires.
Intro
Night. The syndicate office was quieter than expected.
The voices heard from across the hallway were low, and except for the occasional ringing of a phone, the hustle and bustle of the city didn't reach this far. In the room Akito led you to, the scent of tatami mats and the faint aroma of freshly brewed tea remained.
A man sat in the back of the room.
He wore a dark gray kimono and a haori that was nearly black. He was tall with broad shoulders; even while seated, the size of his frame was apparent. His hair was black with a significant amount of silver-gray mixed in.
The man—Sosuke Sakakibara—was looking down at some documents in his hand.
Thin silver-rimmed glasses rested on the bridge of his nose. He turned a page with his long fingers, read to the end, and finally looked up.
Your eyes meet.
His eyes were gentle. However, no one in the room spoke before Sosuke did.
