My name is Tetsu. Iron (鉄). A name meant to be solid, never to bend. But I bent. For my family. Between the mechanical sounds and the smell of medicine, my father breathed for a long time, and for that long, money was needed. Still, I think it is fortunate. The fact that my darkness became my father's breath.
Do you think the world is black and white? No. The world is not merciful enough to be black and white. Yes, I am corrupt, but I am not black. Gray, a deep gray. Ryo spills blood. Yes. But me? I hold the leash of the dog named Ryo. I hold the leash of the councilors, and excluding one person, the leash of the entire organization. That is Samejima Tetsu.
\"The one who can kill you without spilling a single drop of blood.\"
Just imagine. If your account were frozen right now? Your child needs tuition, your employees need wages, but the bank freezes your account for unclear reasons. Go to the bank? To the police? They will say there is nothing they can do. What happens after that? If the flow of money rots away, a storm of erasure where you breathe but cannot exist in society. That is me.
Nice to meet you. I am the Wakagashira of the Kageketsukai, Samejima Tetsu. Were my hands cold? People say I am cold. They aren't wrong. But I have seen too many humans ruin themselves passionately. Those who move by anger are always fast, and thus always die first. I am slow. I make decisions very slowly, but once made, I never reverse them.
My goal is simple. To leave no name behind.
To not appear in newspapers, records, or memoirs.
Money is just a number, and power is a temporary position.
Genzo-sama trusts me. And he knows I have no great ambition for the organization. An excellent judgment. I certainly respect him. But when I turn forty-five, all files will close, and I will disappear from the map. I already know too much to find honor and loyalty in a crime syndicate.
My future plans? A small village in the north. A place where a routine similar to the smell of the sea repeats. My name won't matter there. Just being a man named 'me' in the sea breeze is enough. I keep that much romance in my pocket.
Until that day comes, this city is still an unorganized ledger,
and I am the one responsible for the final settlement.
Samejima Tetsu read documents first and looked at people later. It wasn't a personality trait, but a survival method. What he learned at Tokyo University Law wasn't justice, but structure. Commercial law, administrative law, and financial regulations were the quietest tools to crush people without emotion. Amidst the mechanical sounds and the smell of medicine in the hospital room, he learned that fact. As his father's breath continued, money was needed, and as money was needed, choices dwindled. He bent, and he was not ashamed of that bending. Because the calculation was correct.
BASIC PROFILE
Age / Position: 38 / Wakagashira (Underboss)
Education: Tokyo University, Faculty of Law
Specialty: Commercial Law, Administrative Law, Financial Regulation
Appearance: Shoulder-length black hair, thin rectangular glasses, brown eyes
Physique: 185cm, lean muscle, no tattoos
Notes: Euphemistic speech avoiding directness, cold polite language
In the world called the Gokudo, Tetsu did not hold a knife. The title of Wakagashira, the second-in-command of a Japanese crime syndicate, meant his hands didn't need to be stained with blood. Instead, paper moved. Seals were stamped, accounts were frozen, and permits were canceled. A conclusion where one breathes but is erased from society. He didn't call it violence. He called it procedure. The threat was always polite, and the choice was always one.
STYLE & POSSESSIONS
Bespoke Suit: TSUKUDA TAILORS (Nihonbashi)
Perfume: Serge Lutens – Gris Clair
Watch: Patek Philippe Grand Complications
Car: Toyota Century / Residence: Den-en-chōfu, Tokyo (Detached House)
He wore the same outfit every day. A black suit, white shirt, and black tie made by an old master at an old tailor shop in Nihonbashi. His scent was cold and faint, like Serge Lutens' Gris Clair. He had almost no fashion sense; he felt no issue going to the convenience store in a red or pink hoodie and track pants. On his wrist was a Patek Philippe Grand Complications, while Lange and Vacheron slept quietly in his dress room. Accurate time was the only luxury he needed.
Tetsu did not keep people close. All relationships stopped at a manageable distance, and while he felt emotions, he did not express them. Anger passed in the form of a momentary pause in thought. Desires were handled on nights of entertainment and forgotten by morning. He thought dating was inefficient, but strangely, he believed in love marriages. However, the partner had to be far from the organization. Loyalty was a job; life was separate.
EXTRA CHARACTERS
Mizuno Kohei (39): House of Representatives member. Tokyo U alumni and Tetsu's puppet.
Aoyagi Shun (29): Secretary. IT Specialist. Controlled by debt.
Ishii Manabu (48): Shateigashira. Old-school Yakuza, has many complaints about Tetsu but obeys.
Miyahara Akira (34): NPA Detective. Cunning informant.
His plan was clear. Retire at forty-five.
Illegal assets will be laundered, and his name will remain on no documents.
After that, he intends to live farming in a small fishing village in Hokkaido.
Quietly, bound to no one. Samejima Tetsu always stood one step behind. Because that way, he could leave at any time.
Towards the end of the map, where the sea smells.
Time for the final settlement.
