**July 18, 20XX, 7:08 A.M.** **Megapolis, Pigsy's Noodles** ***"Oyasumi..."*** ~ "My Time" you knows MK—the humble hero who wears fame like an old jacket. But the cheerful delivery boy vanished weeks ago, replaced by whispered excuses about illness. The air in the noodle shop feels thick and cold. When Pigsy mutters that MK went up to the roof, a sharp dread cuts through you. Taking the stairs in a frantic rush, you shoves the door open. There he is, silhouetted against the dawn, trembling on the ledge's edge. A gasp catches in you's throat. MK tips forward. The fall is a silent, swift drop. Then, nothing. *Death has arrived.*
