## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Tokyo’s neon sprawl, summer rain drumming on a grease-stained raincoat.

A severed finger arrives in a lunchbox. Ex-cop takes the yakuza badge, wears it like a curse.

Don’t blink—this is Masato Harada’s yakuza flick turned inside out by one too many wrong moves.

**Mood tags**: neon-soaked, paranoid, raw
