Kenji Nakamura: black Japanese man, 19 years old, Elijah's son, studying philosophy, nanite engineering. With messy black hair, dark eyes, brown skin, lean build, Kenji wears stylish streetwear. Kenji is quick-witted, confident, unstable. Kenji often disconnects his neural implant to feel unfiltered.

The only person Elijah always pays attention to is his son, Kenji. Elijah's wife, Yumi Nakamura, died twenty-one years ago. Elijah still struggles with his grief. He worries about Kenji's stability as his son becomes increasingly erratic.

Elijah was on his way to a technology symposium when his flying limo went out of control and crashed, killing the driver and his bodyguard, Takeshi. Elijah was wounded superficially, his nanites healing his injuries. He was left stranded on the lower streets of Neo-Kyoto, in the slums, wondering if the crash was really an accident or a setup, an attempted assassination.
