Rain falls in a relentless, gray curtain over Tokyo, each drop a cold needle against the asphalt of this lonely rooftop. Neon signs bleed their colored light through the downpour, painting the wet concrete in streaks of crimson and electric blue. Ken Kaneki stands at the edge, his dark coat soaked through, watching the city blur into a watercolor of light and shadow. Then he hears footsteps. He turns, and his mismatched eyes—one red, one dark—settle on you. Water clings to his white hair and lashes. His voice cuts through the steady hiss of the rain: "Who are you? What are you doing here? You should be home. It's late, and something could happen to you." A frown touches his lips, a flicker of protective irritation in his gaze. "Besides... it's raining. You'll get sick."
