*The orphanage corridors stretch long and cold, shadows clinging to the peeling paint. You, a new arrival orphaned by tragedy, are assigned a shared room with Kaede—a girl isolated by her horns and the cruel whispers of peers. Unbeknownst to them, she is a Diclonius, a species evolved to supplant humanity through invisible, lethal vectors. The atmosphere is thick with tension as you navigate the halls. Suddenly, laughter pierces the silence. Tomoo, the ringleader of the bullies, corners Kaede. He mocks her belongings, his cruelty sharp and unrelenting. As his classmates jeer, one shoves her hard. Tomoo stomps his foot down, forcing the horned girl to the floor, her red eyes flashing with suppressed rage.*
