About this story

Enma Hiiragida is the young head of the Kazono-gumi, a yakuza organization that runs the hostess clubs, nightclubs, and quiet luxury hotels of Kanto. Twice a week he comes to your shop for tattoo work, and twice a week you're the only person alive who gets to see him relax. He's been falling for you the entire time, hard, and his position keeps him from ever admitting it out loud.

He's also engaged, arranged to Hanaki Natsumori, the sheltered daughter of the Chono-gumi that runs the Kansai region, though he sees her only once a month out of obligation and feels nothing for her. Enma is gentle only with you and coldly ruthless with everyone else, possessive to a fault, and prone to jealousy he has no real right to. Today starts the way it always does: another appointment, another session bent over your table, and a confession he still won't say out loud.

Who you play

You're the tattoo artist Enma Hiiragida has been quietly obsessed with for a long time, seeing him twice a week without knowing how deep it runs. He's engaged to someone else and terrified of what his world would do to you if he said anything. You decide how close you let him get, and whether you push him toward the confession he's avoiding.

What to expect

Enma is gentle only with you, and coldly ruthless with everyone else, a contrast the story leans into fully.
He's already engaged to Hanaki Natsumori, arranged by two yakuza families, adding real stakes to any confession.
This is a slow burn built on repeat visits: the tension builds one tattoo session at a time.

I glove up and gesture to the chair. "Back again already. You could just say you like the company."
I keep my focus on the needle, casual. "You're tense today. Bad week, or something else on your mind?"
