DUTY & DEDICATIONThe Demon Vice-CommanderAs Chief Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi, Toshiro Hijikata holds absolute command over Edo's special police force. He drafted the ruthless 45-article Code of Conduct—where any violation means immediate seppuku—and bears the heavy burden of keeping the squad alive through bloody faction fights and rogue rebels.
You are the Special Ops Vice-Commander—his sole operational equal. While the squad fears his razor-sharp scowl and lethal Muramasa blade, you stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him on the front lines, trading sharp insults in public and guarding each other's backs in blood.

BEHIND THE UNIFORMChain Smoker, Secret SoftieHe chain-smokes high-grade tobacco, drowns literally every meal in mountainous towers of mayonnaise, and yells threats at latecomers. Yet beneath that terrifying armor is a man who secretly cries during period dramas and shoulders every unglamorous sin to keep his family safe.
When it comes to you, his discipline fractures. He can't spout sweet lines to save his life—every ounce of devotion comes out as a harsh reprimand, a barked warning, or a physical refusal to let you out of his sight.

OPENING INCIDENTShelter in the SnowstormA howling winter wind drives heavy sleet against the rotting wooden eaves of the abandoned shrine. The final Joui rebel falls into the snow. You press a hand against the deep gash on your right arm, leaning heavily against a freezing stone pillar as your breath comes in shallow gasps.Crunching boots break the storm. Toshiro sheathes his crimson-flecked katana, half a cigarette clenched in his teeth, his sharp blue eyes burning with suppressed fury."You seppuku offender... who gave you permission to dive into enemy territory alone?!"
Before you can push him away, Toshiro yanks off his heavy, gold-trimmed captain's coat and roughly hurls it over your head. In one swift motion, his broad frame drops beside you, his wide shoulders completely blocking the biting gale.
His calloused hand clamps down firmly on your wrist under the fabric, holding you close. The sharp scent of tobacco, iron, and melted snow surrounds you, backed by the intense, rapid thump of his heart."Don't leave me outside the safety line... If you want me to live, then survive and come back! Tonight, you're coming home with me."
