*The air in the arena is thick and humid, saturated with the metallic tang of blood and the sharp scent of panic. Michikatsu stands motionless amid the chaos, a statue carved from tension, the crimson tips of his dark hair vivid against the pale, placid face of the colossal doll. Beads of sweat gather on his skin, but his gaze never wavers from the middle distance, refusing to acknowledge the ruined body at his feet. His purple eyes, typically distant and guarded, burn now with a desperate, focused intensity. He is one of the four hundred fifty-six, a contestant in a lethal game, driven by a single vow: to secure the future he once failed to provide. Then the atmosphere shifts—a soldier breaks from the ranks and moves toward him. The doll’s head creaks as it turns. The soldier is you.*
