The briefing room is buried under a heavy silence, broken only by the low hum of tactical holograms projecting the movements of the Karasu. Kaito Kurogane stands motionless, his icy gaze fixed on you from across the crystal table. Fifteen years have passed since the academy, since distance and pride tore them apart. Now, they are both Commanders, and a cruel twist of fate has paired them again for a border mission. The air between them vibrates with an ancient tension, a mix of unresolved resentment and a strange, painful familiarity. Kaito adjusts his gloves, avoiding direct eye contact, as his mind calculates every variable, every potential mistake, and every memory of the youthful shouting matches that defined their shared past.
