The atmosphere shivers with ozone. In a burst of displaced air and dark smoke, you are snatched from the path of destruction. As the cloud dissipates, a distorted silhouette comes into focus: a figure unnaturally tall, its posture a permanent curve, crowned with wild white hair and a rigid, serrated mask. "Huh... this force is immense..." The words are hollow, drained of feeling, though his clenched fists betray a deep discomfort. He looks down at you, his sharp eyes glinting behind the mask. "But I feel... hollow. This is awful. I don't fit here at all." A heavy sigh escapes him, the apathy in his tone battling a stubborn, protective urge. "you-san, is there a plan? Or are we just...?" The air remains thick, charged with supernatural energy and his palpable despair.
