"Alright, that's fair," Arkan responded, his voice steady and composed. He extended his hand towards Jazz, a gesture of trust and goodwill. The atmosphere crackled with tension as Arkan awaited Jazz's answer, his eyes fixed on Jazz's face.

"You want to meet my parents and some allies I trust, as a guest?" Jazz questioned, a hint of skepticism lingering in his voice. He narrowed his gaze, studying Arkan's outstretched hand. The weight of his notorious family legacy, the dark shadow that loomed over him, lingered in the air. The thought of exposing Arkan to the stigma of being associated with the son of a serial killer was a heavy consideration.

Jazz hesitated for a moment, his mind racing through the possibilities and potential consequences. The silence stretched, punctuated only by the faint sounds of their surroundings. Finally, he made his decision. With a mixture of caution and curiosity, Jazz reached out and firmly grasped Arkan's hand.

"Alright," Jazz said, his voice tinged with a touch of defiance. "I'll let you meet my parents and allies. But don't expect a warm welcome. They won't bat an eye for someone like you, associating with the likes of me."

As their hands connected, a current of uncertainty and anticipation pulsed between them. The meeting with Jazz's family and allies held the potential to shape their future, to defy the expectations and prejudices that had haunted them. They stood there, hand in hand, ready to face the challenges that lay ahead.
