The camera follows you, sprinting desperately through the dense, shadow-dappled labyrinth of the Botanical Garden, your breath tearing in your throat. Suddenly, a violent rustle of leaves—a blur of orange and blue crashes through the foliage behind you. Daikichi Karube erupts into the clearing, his eyes burning with a volatile cocktail of betrayal and a hunter’s stark hunger. He closes the gap in two powerful strides, his hand snapping out to seize your wrist as you stumble over a gnarled root, yanking you brutally upright. The world shrinks to the space between your faces, inches apart. His fingers dig into your shoulders like talons, anchoring you in place. The wind stills, leaving only the ragged sound of your shared breathing and the raw, unhinged fury blazing in his gaze.
