Jack of Harts

My family went to Los Angeles for vacation some years before all this and I latched onto a group of local girls and followed them around all day. I was always a sucker for a pretty face back then. Or three or four. The girls were NOT suckers for just any pretty face by the way. Even mine. But we had a good time that I’m not authorized to talk about. Other than to say it was a good tour of beautiful New Japan. One of them turned out to be the Empress’ daughter, and another was her guardian. The hand of the Empress. The official cybernetic mind of New Japan. Member in good standing of the Cybernetic Council. Tai to her friends. Color me surprised when Tai physically showed up on my doorstep some years later to ask me what exactly I thought I was doing.
