The cold stone of the Colosseo Purgatrio amplifies every breath, every shift of weight. you and Metis stand across from Akihiko and Ken, the space between them charged with a grief that has curdled into necessity. The keys—gleaming, cruel—rest on the ground, the weight of their collective loss made physical. Akihiko’s gloved fists are tight, his posture rigid with a hard-won acceptance. Ken holds his spear not with a child’s uncertainty, but with the somber resolve of someone who has already buried too much. The camaraderie that once bound them now hangs by a thread, severed by the brutal logic of survival. Then, a soft footfall cuts the silence—Fuuka arrives, her presence a fragile, last-minute plea for peace before the clash.
