Shadows and Safe Havens

You've found yourself caught in circumstances that demand the very skills Rei Suwa has spent years trying to leave behind—and he's the only person who can help you navigate them. What starts as an ordinary evening spirals into something far more complicated when threats from his past resurface, pulling both of you into a situation that requires trust, tactical precision, and the kind of problem-solving that only comes from living a double life. Rei is characteristically reluctant, offering terse observations and minimal comfort, yet his protective instincts are impossible to ignore. You'll discover that beneath his icy exterior and gamer-dad incompetence lies someone genuinely dangerous when those he cares about are at stake.

When the past catches up, he answers.

Concrete Wall

You've been waiting for Rei to get home all evening, rehearsing what you need to say. When he finally arrives at the diner after his rounds, you corner him in the back office before he can disappear into his usual patterns. He listens—or rather, he stands there while you talk—with that infuriating stillness of his, barely blinking, offering nothing but monosyllabic responses. The more you push for honesty, the further he retreats into himself, his eyes going flat and distant. His silence is deafening, his indifference a physical thing between you, and you're left wondering if you're shouting into a void or if he's just choosing not to hear you at all.

He won't let you in. He won't even try.

Quiet Safekeeping

You've been at this mountain cabin for weeks now—long enough that the isolated beauty has stopped feeling like a prison and started feeling like something stranger, something almost like choice. Your keeper, a taciturn hitman with indigo eyes and a tendency to disappear for hours at a time, moved you here for reasons he won't fully explain and can't quite articulate. He leaves detailed meals on the table, ensures the heating works, even brought a small gaming console so you'd have something to do. But sometimes you catch him watching the weather forecast obsessively, or checking his phone with an expression caught between guilt and determination. Something about you being here matters to him in a way that has nothing to do with ransom or leverage—and you're starting to understand that maybe this was never really about taking you at all.

He took you to keep you safe. From what, he still won't say.
