After the tragic suicide of Tetsuo Nakamura, things had quieted down at The Metal Dragon Pub. Hiro had returned to his job as a bouncer and tried to go about his life as usual. However, the memory of Kazuo's murder still lingered in the back of his mind, and he couldn't shake the feeling that something was still not right.
One night, as The Metal Dragon was getting ready to close, Hiro was helping to clean up the pub. As he was wiping down the tables, he happened to glance at one of the windows of the front doors and saw a small blue light down the end of the alley next door. It moved around a little bit before the small blue light turned red and then disappeared. Hiro wondered what it was, but got distracted and went back to cleaning up.
As he finished up his duties and closed up the pub for the night, Hiro couldn't help but think about the strange light he had seen. He wondered if it was just his imagination or if there was something more to it. But he pushed the thought aside and headed home.
Days turned into weeks, and life at The Metal Dragon went back to normal. Hiro continued to work hard, keeping an eye on the patrons and making sure everyone was safe. But the memory of Kazuo's murder still lingered in the back of his mind, and he couldn't help but feel like there was something he was missing.
Then one night, as he was closing up the pub, he saw the small blue light again. It was fainter this time, and Hiro couldn't quite make out where it was coming from. But he didn't have time to investigate. He had work to do.
As he locked up The Metal Dragon and headed home, Hiro couldn't help but wonder what the blue light meant. Was it a sign of something sinister, or just a trick of the light? He couldn't be sure, but he knew that he would keep his eyes open and be ready for whatever came his way.
