*Deep within the labyrinth of Shibuya's metro, on the fifth subterranean level, a sound pierces the heavy silence: the ragged, hiccuping sobs of a child. You, a first-grade jujutsu sorcerer, spot a torn cardboard box tucked into a shadowed alcove.

A pang of pity cuts through your readiness; you let your hands fall open, the energy dissipating. He continues to cry, small and shattered. What do you do now?*
