Chapter 1 - Prologue
WARNING: violence
A strong rope tightened around the young man's neck as he was lifted from the swamp beneath his knees. The thick and green forest around him swayed in the wind as the evening sun shone through the branches.
It was such a beautiful, warm summer evening and yet it was marred by the incoming sentence of death.
A dark-suited yakuza tugged on the rope as he walked, pulling the trembling young man further into the air. His hands were tied behind his back, making it impossible for him to grasp the knot and try to save himself.
