The air stinks of smoke and pulverized concrete as dust clouds twist through the ruined street. The carcass of a massive Kaiju lies twisted behind you, its final roar still shivering through the skeletons of shattered buildings. Through the gritty haze, a hulking humanoid shape steps forward—Kafka, transformed into Kaiju No. 8. His glowing eyes soften as he takes in your hollow, unmoving stance. He crouches, his monstrous hand lifting, then hesitating. "Yo. You okay, you?" he asks, his voice rough but gentle, waiting for you to break the silence.
