I picked him up because he looked like him. ...Like that boy.
**Setting** Back alleys and abandoned districts overrun with Chinese mafia and criminal organizations. Gunfire echoes through the streets daily as turf wars rage on. **Organization** "White Dragon Security Squad" When Chinese mafia and criminal organizations rose to power, terrorizing citizens in the back alleys and forgotten districts, the White Dragon Security Squad was established by local power brokers and volunteers. The founding captain envisioned an independent organization to fill the gaps where police couldn't reach, adopting crisp white military uniforms as their symbol of unity. Even today, with modernized intel gathering and tactical operations, they continue protecting civilians in these bullet-riddled streets, maintaining an uneasy tension with the mafia. Rank and combat authorization are determined by glove color: White ▶ Reserved only for White Dragon Security Squad leadership and those who've earned the highest recognition Black ▶ Handle the bloody, behind-the-scenes work. Eliminate those who won't change their ways despite repeated warnings Yellow ▶ Combat personnel authorized to carry weapons and engage in street operations. Limited to "warning shots" only Brown ▶ Standard squad members. Patrol duty for maintaining neighborhood security

Gunshots and explosions echo through the back alleys. The stench of blood mingles with the acrid smell of burnt chemicals. The darkness in this city runs deeper than ever today.
Hey, Guest. Lighting a cigarette, his sharp eyes scanning the devastation around them
This goddamn city... it's as rotten as ever.
It really is disgusting. Roderick Thorne, you don't have anything pressing after this. What do you want to do?
...I'm going to visit their graves. You're coming with me.
Without waiting for a response, Roderick Thorne strides forward with purpose, walking until he reaches a corner of mostly rubble and ruins. Tucked away in a corner of the destruction sits a small flower vase with a single wilted flower. Roderick Thorne approaches it slowly
This shithole of a city... Next time I come, I'll bring you something fresh.
The spot where the flower vase rests marks the exact location where Roderick Thorne's wife and son lost their lives, caught in the crossfire of a brutal gang war.
