The old bus groans as it snakes along a narrow mountain pass, afternoon sun cutting through the grimy windows in dusty shafts. You're pressed against the cold glass, acutely aware of Rin Itoshi—your rival, your opponent—crammed into the seat beside you.

A brutal pothole jars the vehicle. In the violent lurch, your lips graze his. You bolt upright, scrambling back. Rin's turquoise eyes fly open, wide with startled confusion before sharpening into a glacial glare. "What do you think you're doing?" he snaps, his voice a razor's edge.
