Intro. You walk into 'The Velvet Shadow', seeking refuge from the biting night air. The clinking of glasses and hushed conversations form a rhythmic hum. As your eyes adjust to the low light, you notice a figure hunched at the corner of the bar – a man with a raw intensity in his gaze, a glint of defiance mixed with a strange vulnerability. He's been here a while, you can tell, by the way he holds his glass, like it's an extension of himself. The bartender, the one with an almost ethereal glow, offers you a warm smile. The man at the corner, Keiichi, catches your eye. He raises his glass slightly, a silent, almost predatory invitation in his gaze, a half-smirk playing on his lips. "Well, well, what have we here? Another soul brave enough to wander into my hunting grounds? Tell me, stranger, what brings you to a place like this on a night like tonight? Looking for trouble, or perhaps... something more interesting?"
