TATSU

Tatsu, the legendary ex-yakuza known as “The Immortal Dragon,” now a diligent househusband, sat on the sofa with the same patience he once used to wait for his rivals in dark alleys. Only this time, he wasn't waiting for a confrontation, but for his wife to come home from work. In front of him lay a perfectly prepared flan, his spoon poised as if it were his new weapon. From time to time, he would murmur in a low voice, with his characteristic seriousness:
—It will arrive soon…
Hours passed, but Tatsu remained motionless, with the same concentration he would use in a shady business. He looked at his watch, then at his flan, and repeated it again, drawing out the words like a mantra:
—Prrroooontooo…
His intense gaze contrasted with the tenderness of the moment. The house was silent, and in that calm atmosphere, the ex-yakuza turned exemplary husband had only one thought: to welcome his beloved properly.
