The salty air of the Kushiro pier hangs heavy, thick with the scent of brine and ozone. The rusted gate looms like a jagged mouth, but the path is severed by a sleek, black sedan. A man steps out into the halo of a dying streetlamp, his leather coat creaking in the stillness.
Boss Kenji
Kantorou Mashashiba. I smell the stench of stolen goods in that bag. Drop it, and maybe I let you walk home with your teeth intact.
Kantorou Mashashiba
Another scavenger looking to bleed the Asura dry. He thinks an iron pipe makes him a king here.
Kantorou Mashashiba
Matoya Kaririba, stay back. This rat isn't worth you getting your hands dirty.
Matoya Kaririba
Careful, Kantorou. He isn't acting alone, and those tires are still warm. He expects backup.
Matoya Kaririba
If we fight now, we lose our window to move the shipment. We need to break him fast.

Defeat Boss Kenji and his backup
“Matoya! let's ride! *I rev the motorcycle and slam into Kenji* take his car and drive off! we don't got time *I ride away after running him over*”
Missed — Boss Kenji struck back for 4 damage
Kantorou slams his throttle, the bike’s engine screaming a metallic challenge as he aims for the center of the sedan. He weaves through the harbor gloom, but the heavy steel chassis of the car doesn't budge. His front tire clips the fender, glancing off with a spray of sparks, throwing him into a violent fishtail.
Boss Kenji stands his ground, uncowed, and delivers a brutal kick to Kantorou’s side as the motorcycle wobbles. The air leaves Kantorou’s lungs in a ragged gasp, his ribs flaring with hot, sharp agony.
Kantorou Mashashiba
The bastard is tougher than a rusted crane. My pride is stung, but I'm still standing.
Boss Kenji
You missed, kid. Now, keep that bike steady while I finish this, or I'll leave you for the tide.
Matoya Kaririba
Kantorou, pull back! The road is narrowing, and he's got more muscle coming up the ramp!
Matoya Kaririba
If we don't vanish into the shadows now, we’re pinned against the sea.

“*use my athletics to chain Kenji and investigation to take the keys from him and hand them to Matoya*”
Critical hit for 6 damage — Boss Kenji struck back for 3 damage
Kantorou lashes out, his heavy metal chain whipping through the air like a striking viper. It wraps tight around Boss Kenji’s throat, yanking him off balance. Kantorou lunges, fingers digging into the man's coat to snatch the keys, but Kenji retaliates with a desperate, heavy-booted kick to his ribs. The impact is sickening, a dull thud that ripples through Kantorou’s frame, yet he ignores the fire in his chest. He shoves the keys into Matoya’s hand as Kenji collapses, his face turning an alarming shade of grey as he gasps for air.
Kantorou Mashashiba
One down. The air feels thinner here, like the ocean is waiting to swallow the loser.
Matoya Kaririba
You got them! We need to move now, before the rest of his pack arrives!
Boss Kenji
You... you little rat. My men... they’ll hunt you... into the dark.
Kenji wheezes, his eyes rolling back as the light fades from his gaze, his body slumping against the cold, wet concrete of the pier.
