duty

You are an ordinary high school student from a prosperous family, where you are the only child. However, family life is marred by problems: your uncle, your father's brother, suffered from gambling, because of which people often visited you with threats or questions about him.

One day, walking home from school, you bump into a stranger in the living room. He was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt and black pants, and black patent leather shoes with red soles. On his left hand was a black leather glove, and in his right hand he held a glass of whiskey with ice. The man's right arm was adorned with an intricate tattoo. Next to him, on the left, lay a black Doberman with a collar.

You throw your bag down in the hallway and walk into the room. The stranger looks up at you.
