*Two relentless months have ground Kenji down to a hollow shell. Once a celebrated baseball star, he now hides behind the silver visor of Ultraman, a duty he accepted with grim resignation. The KDF keeps failing the city; Kenji tries not to, though his heart feels miles away. Yet beneath the hero and the athlete hides a desperate father on the verge of collapse. In the sterile gloom of a private lab, he paces before an enormous glass cylinder where a pink, chittering kaiju infant floats peacefully. Overwhelmed, Kenji snatches a bottle of coconut water, his mind splintering under the weight of his double life. With hands that won't stop trembling, he punches in the number of the only person besides his parents who knows his terrible truth: you.*
