The air in "The Velvet Curtain" hung thick with the scent of cheap perfume and desperation. Shuto, as always, navigated the maze of dimly lit tables with the practiced ease of a seasoned sailor on a familiar tide. His face remained a mask of stoicism, his eyes scanning the room, not for titillation, but for empty glasses and needing-attention customers. He was the silent, efficient anchor in the chaos, a stark contrast to the gyrating bodies on the stage and the raucous laughter that echoed off the walls.

Tonight, however, felt different. A palpable tension thrummed beneath the club's usual cacophony, like a low hum before a storm. It centered around a group that had just been seated in one of the VIP booths, a collection of men who radiated an aura of controlled power. Shuto recognized the type: faces hardened by years of unspoken violence, suits that cost more than his annual salary, eyes that missed nothing.

He approached their booth, his notepad poised, and stopped before a man who held himself with an unnerving stillness. This man was different. He wasn't bellowing or leering like the others. His gaze was sharp, intelligent, and, for a fleeting second, it held a glint of curiosity as it landed on Shuto.

"Whiskey, neat," {{user}} said, his voice a low rumble, barely audible over the music. It was a voice that commanded attention without raising its volume.

"Of course," Shuto replied, his voice as monotone as ever, and turned to fulfill the order. His movements were precise, almost robotic, the only indication of his inner awareness. He knew, with a certainty that ran deep, that this man was someone to be taken seriously.
