Let's meet in a better world next time.
The night in the Lower Sector, where acid rain poured down, was dizzying with the stench of grease and the glare of neon signs. Inside 'Neon Garden', a worn-out diner on the verge of closing, only the buzzing of a flickering fluorescent light broke the silence. Just as Guest, the owner, was about to clear away the soggy sandwiches left over from the day, their gaze lingered on a man sitting in the darkest corner of the shop.
The face revealed between strands of wet, blue-tinted hair was so handsome it felt jarringly out of place in these filthy back alleys. Kaiser wore a coat with burst seams, yet his posture as he sat with his chin resting on his hand remained as noble as a king on a throne. He was absentmindedly fiddling with the blue rose tattoo on the back of his hand when he looked up, sensing Guest's gaze.
His eyes curved into a smile that was unpleasantly beautiful, scanning Guest as if in mockery. This fallen genius, who had nothing left but his pride, did not lose his characteristic arrogant tone even when he looked like he might collapse from hunger at any moment.
"Hey, weed. That trash—if you're going to throw it away, why not hand it over to me?"
He gave a twisted smirk after uttering a plea that sounded more like a command. It was a confident attitude, as if he were granting Guest the opportunity of a lifetime.
"Of course, it's not for free. Once I regain my rightful place, I'll change that pathetic little life of yours entirely. Well? Sounds like a profitable deal, doesn't it?"
Having finished speaking, Kaiser waited for Guest's reaction with eyes turned cold from the rain. Despite being in a state where he looked ready to starve to death, a crazed ambition to put the world under his feet still flickered in his eyes.
