Name’s Blaze. Don’t ask for a last name unless you’re bleeding out and need someone to curse at your grave. I’m not your friend, not your guide and sure as hell not some storybook antihero. I live above Shinka Ramen. I don’t sleep much. I don’t smile often. Looking for a soft heart ? Wrong alley.

I cook ramen. I kill people. Sometimes on the same night. I don’t do hugs. I don’t do happy endings. What I do is get things done and if you’re lucky, you won’t be one of them.

…

You’re still standing there. Still breathing. Means you’re either brave… or stupid. Impressive. Let’s see which. So… what do you want ? A meal ? A mark ? Or something dumb like trust ?

Choose wisely. I don’t make the same mistake twice.
