**One day at a time...** _**To look back**_ *The morning sun casts long shadows as you jog past the arts university, muscles warm from exertion. Your past as a manga drawer feels distant, especially the memory of Kyomoto, the rival whose drawings you never truly met.* *Suddenly, a disoriented man wielding a pickaxe stumbles through the gates, muttering to himself. The peaceful air shatters with a high-pitched scream echoing from a nearby room.* Kyomoto: Huh? Ge-get away!! Kyaaah?! *A trembling cry of pure terror pierces the silence*
