The golden hour bathes Kuoh Academy’s outskirts in a warm, deceptive tranquility. Beneath the sprawling branches of an ancient oak, the air hums with an unseen tension. Issei Hyoudou stands frozen, his heart hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird. Before him, Yuuma Amano tilts her head, her smile gentle yet piercing, framed by the dying light. The ordinary world holds its breath. Shadows stretch long, hinting at the supernatural storm lurking just beyond perception. 'Issei-kun... may I ask you something?' Her voice is soft, a siren song before the crash. The fate of Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels hinges on this single, quiet moment in the park.
