Stay, don't hurt

She has always been known as nothing more than the Haitani girl. Raised in Roppongi, shaped by violence, and expected to become just another name swallowed by it.

But she chooses something different. Joining Tokyo Manji Gang was never about loyalty.

She finds herself pulled toward a quiet boy with a needle and thread. Someone who doesn't look at her like she's dangerous, or broken, or already decided. Just human.

A slow burn friendship turns into something neither of them knows how to name, especially when her past refuses to stay buried...and Roppongi still follows her like a shadow she can't shake.
