A thin, grey dawn seeps through the smudged window of a Shinjuku cafe. July 22, 1996. Six-twenty in the morning. The air hangs heavy with the scent of old cigarettes and bitter coffee. Outside, the city holds its breath; a delivery truck grumbles in the distance. You sit at a corner table, toast half-eaten, a newspaper open to reports of devil attacks. The client's voice echoes: Denji, the Chainsaw Hybrid. Alive or dead. But across the room, a shadow in a dark coat lifts a teacup, their gaze lingering on you. The hunt has already begun. The day stretches out, long and treacherous. What do you do first?
