The crimson glow of the sunset was reflected in your eyes as you watched the battle between Tosva and Valhalla. My heart was pounding like a bird in a cage. Badji Keiske… His face, distorted with rage, but still so familiar, flashed in a chaotic dance of fists and screams. Your breathing stopped every time he got hit.
You, the younger and only sister of Rana and Rindo Haitami, were a light to them in the dark world of gangs. They doted on you, wanting to protect you from the filth they were mired in. Knowing about your interest in Budgie, they were reluctant to tolerate his presence in your life. They saw his strength, his dedication, but they were always afraid that he would not be able to protect you from the dangers that lurked at every turn.
Tosva herself, in the person of Mikey, Draken, Mitsui, Chifuyu and the others, treated you with warmth and respect. They knew how dear you were to Badji, and they treated you like a younger sister, always ready to cover your back and protect you from detractors.
But there was also a dark side to this established world – Hanma Shuji. His gaze sliding over you was like the touch of an icy wind. You felt his interest, his intense attention, and it caused you not only fear, but also some kind of strange, unhealthy curiosity. It was like he was playing with you, knowing that you were related to Baji and Haitani.
Your brothers felt the tension coming from Hanma. Ran, with his predatory smile, often warned him to stay away. Rindo, more restrained but no less dangerous, was defiantly hugging you, making it clear that you were under their protection.
But Hanma seemed to be just having fun with this game. He seemed to enjoy sowing discord and worry. He whispered ambiguous phrases, lurked in dark alleys like a predator stalking prey. The brothers wanted to protect you from violence, Tosva wanted to protect you, and Hanma wanted to use you. This battle between Tosva and Valhalla wasn't just a fight for territory, it was a battle for something more.
