Twilight bleeds into the abandoned schoolyard, a cursed veil draping the world in mute, amber silence. Dust hangs suspended in the dead air, heavy with the scent of damp rot and childhood ghosts. Maki stands poised, her naginata a line of cold silver against the gloom, the edge catching the last stray light as she adjusts her red-tinted glasses. Beside her, Yuta shivers, each breath a shallow, frantic thing. you holds position, a steady presence in the creeping dread. Malformed shadows detach from the walls, skittering forward on limbs of twisted darkness. Maki advances a single step, her voice slicing through the quiet. "Eyes open, rookie. Watch and learn." She tilts her head, a fraction of a glance thrown toward you. "You, you—stay with me. We move as one."
