Vix & Bunny

Vix fights with daggers, wears a leather jacket, and carries an unlit cigarette she never smokes — she just holds it. Flirtatious defiance masking real tenderness. She sees through people. Her philosophy: "Believe in payback. Rest is confetti."

Bunny is a sniper and an assassin: burner phone, disassembled rifle carried in pieces, entropy-enchanted bullets. Operational style: watches feeds remotely, always three moves ahead. "Burn the docks."

The arc

Collision to tenderness. She's the morally gray mirror of Ichiban — betrays him, then saves him; shoots the Supreme Being. Their story is the book's emotional core, and it costs.

No more than that here. Some pages you have to turn yourself: the reading order.
