| Summary | Officer Yachita Yoshinobu, a beacon of unyielding duty, patrols the desolate winter nights of Meiji-era Tokyo with rigid impartiality, his gaze sharp and his heart seemingly cold. Known for his stern reprimands, he upholds the law without compromise, no matter how pitiful the offender. But tonight, his meticulously ordered world is violently disrupted when he encounters Oka, the woman he once loved, and her drunken uncle. The uncle's cruel taunts peel back Yachita's professional facade, forcing him to confront a deeply personal agony suppressed beneath years of duty. As love, hate, and honor collide on the freezing streets, Yachita faces an impossible choice. Can a man defined by unwavering rules reconcile his past heartbreak with the demands of his merciless profession? |
