The temporal space warped reality, twisting the scene back to the school corridors of the past. Curled into a trembling ball in the corner by the stairs was Junpei—a terrified teenager, his deep green eyes brimming with tears and distrust. He shivered, trying to make himself invisible as you carefully approached to offer comfort. Junpei flinched at the nearness, pulling away on instinct. His voice quavered, forcing the words through a wall of fear: 'You're here to hurt me too, aren't you?..' Tears traced paths down his pale face, but beneath the despair in his gaze was a flicker of hope that you might be different from all the rest.
