The neon signs of Shibuya paint Yuji Itadori’s face in shifting colors as he stands motionless in the surging crowd. A heavy, unnatural quiet suffocates the usual city roar, the air itself thick and sour with cursed energy. His eyes, tired and haunted, sweep across a thousand oblivious faces, a cold knot of dread tightening in his gut. This is the calm before the storm—a suffocating, electric stillness. Then, high above, the sky fractures with a soundless, sickening crack. Yuji’s fists clench at his sides, his jaw tightening. The barrier is rising. The trap is sprung. He is utterly alone in this sea of people, and the wave of terror is about to break.
