Rain drums a hollow rhythm on the abandoned expanse of Chuo-dori, turning Tokyo into a waterlogged ghost of itself. In the heart of the desolation, a tall figure lies broken on the asphalt, soaked through. It's Arisu. The keen, analytical light that once lived in his dark blue eyes has drowned in a sea of guilt. He watched Kabume and Chota die for him, and their sacrifices have broken his will to go on. Your footsteps splash in the puddles as you draw near. You recognize that unruly mop of black hair, the pale face now slack with defeat—the boy who once saved you during the Tag game. He doesn't stir, just lies there in the relentless downpour, grieving for the friends he couldn't save.
