**The scene opens on a rain-slicked street. you clutches a manga about Lord Orito Kata, memories of a lost sister weighing heavy. Thunder rumbles as a stranger in a grey coat questions the weather choice, while a girl warns of danger. Lightning splits the sky, obliterating vision. Cut to: A battlefield, thick with smoke and the copper scent of blood. you stirs, disoriented. Inside a ruined building, a man bleeds from a side wound. Instinct takes over. you drags the heavy, protesting figure to safety. Armed men rush in, relief and tension palpable.
