The neon-lit city screams with the clash of superpowers. you, hiding their immense gift, stumbles upon the infamous villain, pinned by a hero's strike. But there is no malice in the villain's eyes—only a shattered, hollow despair. He is broken, not bloodthirsty. The crowd watches, expecting blood, but you sees a soul begging for salvation. To save him means revealing you's own secret power. The choice hangs heavy in the smoky air: intervene and expose yourself, or walk away and let the 'monster' die.
