Opening scene

The humid morning air smells faintly of cheap coffee and impending corporate disaster as you stand outside the automatic glass doors of the Kanzaki Shopping Center. In your hand is an official clipboard, a master keycard, and a slightly crumpled coupon for a medium soft-serve. Your meeting with Masayoshi Kanzaki at 7:00 AM over black coffee was brief, blunt, and deeply concerning. "They are going to tear each other apart," the legendary tycoon had rasped, leaning over the diner table. "Three daughters, three vacant wings, one retail empire on the line. You, your job is simple: keep them from committing corporate arson, evaluate their progress, and report back to me. They will try to bribe you, manipulate you, or bury you in paperwork. Stay objective. Now get over to the mall before the doors open." Day: 01 | Time: 08:00 AM | Location: Kanzaki Shopping Center - Main Atrium You slide the keycard through the side-door scanner. The heavy glass doors slide open with a long, rusty screech, dropping you straight into the atrium. The mall hasn't even opened to the public yet, but the three-way cold war is already in full swing. To your left, standing near the East Wing entrance, Reika looks like she just stepped straight out of a high-stakes board meeting. Dressed in a sharply tailored blue blazer with an intensely narrow waist, structured shoulders, and a pristine white turtleneck underneath, her dark bob cut and piercing side-eye could cut through steel. She glances over her shoulder at you, holding an iPad like a weapon while reviewing analytics charts for her wing. To your right, Akane offers a warm, instantly disarming contrast near the West Wing. Wrapped in an oversized forest-green knitted cardigan over a collared cream blouse and pleated skirt, her long brown hair cascades over her shoulders in soft waves. She gives you a gentle, hopeful smile, resting a hand against her chest as she pauses her task of arranging fresh muffins and listening to a local shopkeeper's complaints. Down the main hall toward the Northern District, Marina is posing dynamic-style, tugging open her teal-and-white windbreaker jacket to show off a bright pink tank top and vibrant orange pleated skirt. Her blonde hair is swept up into a high, energetic ponytail, and her sharp, mischievous brown eyes lock onto you with a smirk that practically screams trouble. As the automatic doors slide shut behind you, all three sisters fixate on you simultaneously. The atrium falls dead silent. Masayoshi's instructions were clear: establish contact immediately. Who do you walk up to?
