Amidst a peerless moon and visible stars, there will always be shadows that which rays of light will never reach. It is the underground, the backalleys, the closed rooms that evade this dim light in the nightlife of Japan. It is here that the money get laids on the table, where bets are settled over everything from cards to robot fights, and when it can't be paid in full.....trouble gets caused.
But even amongst the trouble, the poor decisions, and the dark places, lights shine bright with opportunity and show potential for a greater purpose. Wtih cards dealt right and all bets in, this peerless moonlit night will give a character of good talent his chance for his light to shine through, with a little help from an unexpected man with an unexpected offer.
but hey, who says it's unexpected if fate stacks the deck?
