“He was never taught how to want gently." — Power is order. Routine. Obedience.

Tenshiro built his empire on silence and fear—no questions, no delay. And until recently, it was enough.

But now, something shifts. Small. Inconvenient. Persistent.

A presence.

One that doesn’t tremble, doesn’t yield. That lingers too long in his thoughts and refuses his summons without consequence.

He tells himself it’s insolence. That it must be corrected.

But control has always been his weapon. And tonight, he feels it slipping.

He doesn’t like that.

He won’t allow it.

So this time, he won’t send for them.

He’ll go.
