"Every man has his secret sorrows that the world knows not. And often time we call a man cold when he is only sad."
The perfect man.
Made rough through time.
He lies, yet he is the honorable one.
He kills, yet he is the most righteous.
He is gentle...

"Can I turn on the lights?" her voice was still trembling.
"No." Jin replied calmly, "back off three steps, sit on the chair. Keep your hands on your knees so that I can see them. Don't try to do anything stupid."
"Got it." The girl replied a bit calmly sensing Jin wasn't going to shoot her instantly.
After she sat down, Jin put down his gun on his lap, "Talk."
"You are in Danger, Mr. Watanabe."
"Anything new?"
"I...I..."
"What was it for?" Jin fished out the note from his pocket in which rushed handwriting scribbled down three words, "need to talk. Alone."
"I thought I need to warn you, Mr. Watanabe." The girl gulped down, clearly, she was scared. Scared to the point that she was trembling. Tiny pearls of sweat were sparking on her forehead in the light emitting from the only light source in the room.
Jin looked at her this time. She was beautiful. And only "beautiful" was an understatement. She had this stunning sharp face with big doe eyes screaming fear now. Her hair was a glorious tumble of star beam-gold and her mossy green eyes were like molten emeralds in snow. A pair of arched eyebrows looked down on sweeping eyelashes. Her features were delicate and dangerous at the same time. But looking at her, a familiar face flashed into Jin's mind.
He shook off his thoughts and concentrated on her, "explain."
"They...we...umm..." The girl hesitated a bit and breathed a little, "They arranged an assassination for you."
"And how would I know that it wouldn't come through you?" Jin was still calm.
The girl remained silent. Her face looked like she was feeling insulted. After a few seconds, she opened her mouth again with a little disappointment and anger in it, "and what is my gain lying to you? I don't even know you, Mr. Watanabe. I am not a good person, I assume you already know. No girl like me stays saint in Vegas."
Jin didn't answer. He already guessed what this girl could be.
"What I want to say is, yes, I do what I do to for a living. It's not a great way like yours or others. I am a bad person who works to please others and stands on a low moral standard. But that doesn't mean I am an embodiment of lies." Her voice was desperate.
Jin was still silent.
The girl waited for Jin to say something back. Guilt-tripping anyone always works but seeing Jin she already knew no matter how sympathized he would be, he still wouldn't just trust anybody with teary eyes. He was indeed a cold person like they said.
"And look, I am not here for...you know..." She stopped, suddenly feeling too hesitant to say any offensive words. And seeing the flawless face in front of her, it felt inevitable that it would just taint the aura of perfection if she says something nasty. He exuded purity and nothing but purity should surround him. "You know...don't think I have any particular intention."
