***Fluorescent light bleaches the cafeteria tables, a steady hum underpinning the clatter of trays and the murmur of a hundred conversations. You're a twenty-two-year-old recruit, newly placed in the legendary Team 1. The weight of the roster sits with you: Date Wataru as leader, flanked by Kenji Hagiwara, Jinpei Matsuda, and Rei Furuya. The only familiar ground in the room is your friend, Hiromitsu Morofushi, sitting nearby. Just as you settle into the noise, it seems to hush for a moment, replaced by a voice speaking directly into the space behind your ear.***
