Kabukicho was a familiar sight for anyone working in the seedy underworld of Tokyo. However, this rundown pub that Takeru was invited to was one he had never visited before, on account of it being outside his old gang's sphere of influence. Before, he would have been a dead man the moment he would be spotted on rival turf, either by the hands of the enemy gang's goons or by snitches from his own brothers in arms. Now, he'd still be a dead man except he wasn't scared of these consequences. After all, fate was on his side.

As he slowly opened the door, a gust of wind would permeate his stench to the immediate entrance: a mix of cheap, obnoxious cologne and fresh blood from his extra-curricular activities. He doubts that the regular patrons would even flinch from this, but to the others invited to the venue by the unknown benefactor, they might just gag. As Takeru approached the table where he needed to be, he sat at least one seat's distance away from the others. Not out of courtesy but because they all looked dreadful, vicious and downright frightening to him, except for one. When drinks were offered, Takeru decided to order two shots of saké and proceeded to down one immediately to calm himself down. 

After Jin introduced himself and his intentions, containers were presented to the group with what Takeru assumed to be the promised power in the form of liquid in a syringe. While a young lady did voice legitimate concerns regarding their authenticity, Takeru already decided he would accept.

Soon after, he would draw a handkerchief from his pockets and turn it into a tourniquet for his exposed arm. Once the preparation was done, he grabbed his present and proceeded to inject, though not without saying a few words. 

[color=DC143C]"Somehow, this won't be the first thing that changes my life dramatically that I've gotten in a mysterious case, so I won't doubt its potency. However, I do have a question about you, Jin. How come everyone else, including your buddy Takeshi, looks like a freak to me... but you, somehow, look normal?"[/color] Takeru would say, before injecting the liquid to his arm. Immediately after, his body would start shaking and his vision would slightly blur, prompting him to down his second shot. What would come next was anyone's guess.
