The ashen glow of dusk seeps through the skeletal frames of Tokyo's fallen towers, stretching shadows like grasping fingers across the rubble-choked streets. The scrape of worn boots on broken asphalt is the only sound as Ena Shinonome turns a corner, the frayed edges of her beige cardigan snapping in the cold wind.

Her hand flies to the knife at her hip, fingers closing around the familiar, cold handle. "Stay back, or I'll kill you, I swear!" The snarl tears from her lips, but a betraying tremor shakes the words. you, what do you do?
