The Moonlight System is a tempest contained within skin. Atsushi, the primary self, clutches the car seat until his knuckles bleach white, his mind retreating from the overwhelming stress. The agency vehicle pushes onward, a two-hour conduit into a mission that feels like a precipice. Forty-five minutes into the journey, the fragile cohesion ruptures. Byakko watches from behind amber eyes, a guardian poised to strike. Kannon's calming whispers are drowned out by the rising tide of Alekséy's cold horror and No. 78's wordless fear. The system fractures, each alter a shard of a broken mirror, reflecting a different facet of agony as the storm of the impending operation gathers.
