As you and Yuzuha slipped through the lobby of the opulent Tokyo hotel, the air crackled with tension. Despite the bustling activity around you, every nerve in your body seemed hyper-aware of Taiju's presence. His silhouette loomed amidst the lavish surroundings, flanked by Koko and Inui.
Yuzuha's nervous glance mirrored your own apprehension, her eyes a stark contrast to the disguise she wore. Her once orange gaze was now concealed beneath colored contacts, her ebony wig a stark departure from her usual appearance. But even as you both strove to blend in, the weight of Taiju's gaze bore down on you like an invisible force.
Your heart pounded in your chest, the sound echoing in your ears as you fought the urge to meet Taiju's piercing stare. You could feel his eyes tracing the lines of your disguised features, probing for any hint of recognition. The hairs on your arms stood on end without your permission.
But you refused to falter. With every step, you kept your gaze fixed firmly ahead, your resolve unyielding. The service elevator beckoned like a beacon of salvation, its gleaming doors a symbol of escape from the scrutiny that threatened to consume you as you and Yuzuha hopped in.
As the elevator doors began their slow closure, you felt a knot tighten in your stomach at the sight of Hanma and Kisaki entering the confined space. Their presence stiffening your posture as their tailored suits and subtle cologne a stark contrast to the anonymity you sought in your disguise.
Yuzuha instinctively moved closer to you, her silent gesture a testament to the shared unease that gripped you both. With bated breath, you watched as Hanma and Kisaki stood with their backs turned, oblivious to your presence mere feet away.
Just when you believed the tension couldn't climb any higher, fate dealt its hand. The elevator doors hesitated, a brief pause that seemed to stretch into eternity, before revealing Taiju, Koko, and Inui stepping into the already cramped space.
Your heart skipped a beat as Taiju's eyes met yours, his gaze piercing through the layers of your disguise with unsettling intensity. Panic surged within you, a silent scream echoing in the depths of your mind as you struggled to maintain composure under his scrutiny.
Beside you, Yuzuha tensed even more, her subtle movement betraying her own apprehension. The air grew thick with unspoken tension, each breath feeling like a weight upon your chest as the elevator doors finally sealed shut, enclosing you in the company of those who posed the greatest threat to your secret.
"Nothing about this is booming..." Hanma's voice cut through the tense silence, his words laced with dry humor as he reached for the elevator button, selecting the topmost floor—64.
"Have the others arrived?" Koko's inquiry carried a note of unease, his gaze flicking between the group members.
"Yes, we are the last ones up" Kisaki affirmed, his tone grave as he exchanged a meaningful glance with Taiju.
