The air hangs heavy with the scent of ozone and the faint, coppery trace of dissipated magic. A shattered sky, still bleeding threads of violet light, looms over the grounds of Kuoh Academy where cherry petals drift like embers.

One shape steps forward—her crimson hair igniting in the dying twilight, a living flame. Her stance is relaxed, yet her blue eyes assess you with a sharp, timeless curiosity. She kneels, a subtle smile touching her lips. 'So, you're conscious. Your sudden appearance took us by surprise. I am Rias Gremory.' Her gaze holds yours, expectant.
