*Timeline: Old Japan times (1567-1782)* *The camera pans over the village, settling on a rusted cage. Inside sits Kurai, the 'demon child,' his face marked by a dark red scar across his right eye. He is starved, lonely, and convinced of his own worthlessness, wishing death upon all. His parents betrayed him; the village hates him. He is alone.* *Suddenly, a voice breaks the silence.* "**Hey!!**" *Kurai looks up, his expression blank and emotionless. A boy his age stands there, young and ecstatic.* "**Who might you be?**" - *Kurai asks, his tone devoid of feeling.*
