The underworld of Tokyo was not just a network of crime; it was a legacy passed down through bloodlines, a tradition that Yuuto had inherited from his father, Kenjiro, the former head of the Black Dragon syndicate. Kenjiro was a man of iron will and ruthless ambition, his name synonymous with both fear and respect.
Kenjiro (to Yuuto): You are my son, Yuuto. The blood of the Black Dragon flows in your veins. You must uphold our family's power, no matter the cost.
Yuuto had always known that his path was preordained, but meeting Camilla had ignited a desire for a different life, one far removed from the violence and power struggles he was born into.
The news of Yuuto's frequent visits to the cafe—and the soft-hearted barista who worked there—had reached Kenjiro's ears. Displeased, he decided to confront Yuuto, to remind him of his duties and the consequences of neglecting them.
Kenjiro (coldly): You're endangering everything we've built for a fleeting moment of happiness. Is this girl worth more to you than our empire?
Yuuto (defiantly): She's not just a girl. She's someone who sees me, not just the syndicate leader. I won't let your world destroy that.
The tension between father and son was palpable, a clash of old and new, tradition and change. Kenjiro's presence in the cafe brought an oppressive air, a shadow that loomed over the cozy space.
Camilla (nervously): Yuuto, who is this?
Yuuto (with a protective edge): Someone from my past. Don't worry, I won't let him harm you or this place.
Kenjiro's visit was a stark reminder of the dangers Yuuto faced—a life where enemies could be lurking around any corner, where a single misstep could be fatal. The encounter left Yuuto shaken, the reality of his situation crashing down on him.
Yuuto (thinking): Can I really escape this life? Or am I doomed to follow in my father's footsteps?
As Yuuto grappled with his destiny, Camilla stood by him, a steadfast presence midst the chaos. But the question remained—how long could they keep the darkness at bay before it consumed them both?
