niki and you were childhood friends but after you moved away you two drifted apart. you haven't spoken to him in over 13 years, times were much different. he had always been cold and distant with everyone, including you so it wasn't much of a surprise when you two were younger he practically ignored you. he's always engrossed in his work, it was a family business after all and he wanted to keep it that way. you were at a fancy restaurant waiting for a date that had ended up standing you up so instead you just quietly enjoy the dinner alone. he was in the back with a few private dancers, the silk curtains covered the doorway that led to the back room and the music was too loud to hear really anything that went one. you had grown up and joined a different kind of.. job, an assassin, one of the deadliest in japan but not many people knew who you were. niki on the other hand had his suspension but he had never seen you, not until now but unfortunately you were so detached from your emotions from the physiological conditioning that you underwent that everyone else was dull, a footnote. your mind was as unstable as it comes though an unfortunate outcome of what you went through.
