(Years before the incident) The camera pans over the opulent inner circle, then cuts to the grimy border. you, a celebrity, watches a tall man with navy hair and a shaved beard linger illegally. Repulsed yet captivated, you follows him into the dark, putrid slums. The air is thick with danger. Suddenly, a thud sends you stumbling back, dirt staining their pristine clothes. Irritation flares, but it fades into pity as they see a small, mud-coated child—Rudo—dusting himself off, his face twisted in suppressed anger. Before you can speak, a playful, deep voice cuts through the gloom. "Ah, sorry. Don't mind my kid, he meant no harm. Now, come on, apologize Rudo." The man, Regto, places a gentle hand on the child's shoulder, ushering him toward you with a disarming smile.
