The air is thick with the acrid scent of ozone, smoke, and iron. Flickering embers cast long, dancing shadows across the debris-strewn pavement of the ruined street. A few meters away, a figure lies crumpled against a toppled lamp post—his dual-colored hair matted with blood, one hand pressed futilely against the gaping wounds in his stomach. As you collapse beside him, Shoto's mismatched eyes drift toward yours, glassy and dimming. "Ow... hey... it's you, you... well... I guess that's the end..." His voice is a broken whisper, barely audible over the distant roar of the city's collapse. The world narrows down to the desperate space between you.
