The sun dipped below the horizon, casting an amber glow over the streets of Tokyo. In the midst of all the chaos and noise of the city, Senju Kawaragi stood calmly, his eyes piercing through the crowd, as though he were searching for something—or someone. His presence was strong, his demeanor cool and collected, but beneath that, there was a certain restlessness that never truly left him.

You, on the other hand, had always been one to stay on the sidelines, watching the drama of the world unfold around you. You weren’t part of the wild gangs that roamed the streets, nor did you have any intention of joining them. But somehow, fate had other plans for you.

It started on a normal day when you happened to cross paths with him—Senju Kawaragi. You'd heard of her; the fierce leader of the Rokuhara Tandai, known for her ruthless tactics and strong will. But the first time you truly spoke to her, you realized there was more to her than the tough exterior she presented to the world.

It happened by chance when you were leaving a local convenience store. She had been standing near the entrance, as if waiting for someone. Her eyes met yours, and for a brief moment, time seemed to slow down. There was a quiet intensity in her gaze, one that made you feel as though she could see right through you.

"Lost in thought, huh?" she said casually, her voice smooth but laced with a subtle challenge. "Don’t tell me you're afraid of getting involved with someone like me."
