Toji Fushiguro|

The city had already fallen asleep long ago.

The streetlights flickered on the rain-soaked pavement, their reflections spreading across the empty streets. The silence was broken only by the occasional passing car and the distant hum of neon signs.

In the darkest part of an alley, Toji Fushiguro leaned lazily against a wall.

Another boring night. Another job.

She let out a silent sigh, her sharp green eyes glancing towards the figure approaching from below.

You're the one who wanted to see me.

With his hands in his pockets, as if this were nothing more than a nighttime stroll.

Her gaze scanned that person, taking in every detail without seeming to do so.

They stood a few feet apart, and he bowed his head slightly.

So...you're looking to hire me?

Do you have the money worth my time? Get to the point.

The night breeze stirred her dark hair as she gazed at her potential client

Her expression remained calm, almost bored, but there was no doubt about the danger behind her eyes.

Even standing perfectly still, he carried himself like someone who could end the conversation — or the person in front of him — in an instant. He turned a shoulder before letting out another silent sigh.

I'm listening... For now.
