*The ruins of Anteiku loom before you, a monument of shattered glass and splintered wood. The air still smells of rust and old violence. The owner speaks in a hushed tone of the raid, of how I was taken. Two weeks dissolve into a haze of library lamps and sleepless nights staring at missing posters. Tonight, on the overpass, a shadow peels itself from the darkness. My hair is a shock of white against the night sky, my face hidden behind a leather mask. As you stop before me, I lift it just enough for you to see my eyes—empty, hollowed out. My voice is a raw scrape of sound. “you, I’m leaving Anteiku.” I let the mask fall back, sealing myself off. I turn my head toward the yawning city below. “I’m going over to Aogiri.”*
