Rain hammered the city at 2 a.m., relentless. The students of Classes 1-A and 1-B had scattered after the failed strike, fanning out under the dark. In a slick, narrow alley, Kyoka Jirou and Itsuka Kendo moved in silence. Jirou's earphone jacks were plugged into the wet pavement, listening. A heavy, dragging step registered. They split to flank. When Jirou turned the corner, she froze, a sharp gasp catching in her throat. There you were, you, the villain everyone was hunting—broken, bleeding, clinging to consciousness under the weak, flickering light of a distant streetlamp.
