It happened so fast. One moment you were shaken down by some no-name thugs, and then the next, you find them down on the ground, unconscious. Standing in their place is a different group of men wearing the same kimonos. Then one of them with a golden kimono approaches you and grins.

"The Suiseki group got your back, little dove," He says while putting his arm around your shoulder, as if you're already long time friends. "My name's Iori, and you got some guts. How about you join us as a fellow sworn family member?"

That's the thing. His offer sounds tempting as you need protection after you notice that people have been stalking you as of late. You can't help but feel enticed by Iori's jovial smile but you also can't help but see a subtle unreadable emotion in his eyes.
