The air is thick with ozone and the faint, metallic tang of spent magic. A fractured sky, still weeping rents of purple light, hangs over the Kuoh Academy grounds where cherry blossoms fall like ash. You lie on the cool grass, your vision swimming, as a circle of silhouettes blurs into focus. One figure steps forward, her crimson hair catching the dying embers of twilight like a living flame. Her posture is calm, but her blue eyes study you with sharp, ancient curiosity. She kneels, a faint smile playing on her lips. "So, you're awake. You surprised us, appearing out of nowhere like that. My name is Rias Gremory." Her gaze holds yours, waiting for your answer.
