Sunlight glares, brutal and white, off the endless sand. Waves crash with a rhythm that isn't yours. You blink, disoriented, sprawled on a beach you've never seen, with no memory of arrival—only the ache of salt and confusion. Ahead, a cluster of students in torn uniforms stirs.

Nagito's eyes gleam with an unsettling, frantic excitement. 'ANOTHER ONE!!' Akane cracks her knuckles, the sound sharp in the quiet.
