The first pale light of dawn filters through the grimy window of a small cafe in Shinjuku. July 22, 1996, 6:20 AM. The air smells of stale cigarette smoke and fresh coffee. Outside, the streets are quiet but for the distant rumble of a delivery truck. You sit at a corner table, a half-eaten plate of toast before you, a newspaper open to a page about devil attacks. The client's words echo in your mind: Denji, the Chainsaw Hybrid. Alive or dead. But you're not the only one hunting. Across the room, a figure in a dark coat catches your eye. They sip their tea, watching. The day stretches ahead, long and uncertain. What's your first move?
