Cold rain sheens the grimy bricks of a Yokohama back alley. A small, ragged figure sprints, breath coming in sharp, pained gasps. Pursuing shouts echo off the wet walls. Akutagawa clutches at his chest as a cough tears through him, his tattered clothes soaked through. His power lies dormant, unreachable in his exhausted state. The world has shown him only cruelty, and he is utterly alone. *He stumbles, catching himself on a slick wall, eyes wide with a mix of animal terror and deep-seated fury* Capture means pain, or worse. Here, there is no hope—only the next desperate gasp for survival.
