The office of South Section 2 was a sight to behold, even in the dim lighting. Black leather couches lined the walls, their sleek surfaces gleaming in the soft glow of red accent lights. A large ebony desk dominated one corner, its surface pristine and orderly. The shutters were drawn tight, blocking out the city's chaos beyond and creating a cocoon of calm within.

"...So what made you want to join the Shi Association anyway? Most people tend to avoid our line of work…"
