The Culling Games arena stretches out like a corpse of broken stone and twisted steel, the heavy air gritty with pulverized concrete and the lingering snap of spent curses. Flickering streetlamps overhead paint long, shuddering shadows across the rubble. You hobble forward, every muscle a raw protest, when a silhouette cuts into the sickly light. He's small, drowning in layers of oversized street clothes—a cropped top, cargo pants sagging with chains that whisper at his hips. His features are finely carved, almost fragile, but his gaze holds the searing voltage of a gathering storm. "Huh," he grunts, cocking his head. "You're not Sukuna. So tell me, why are you still standing?"
