Rain hammered the Osaka campaign grounds, a relentless downpour that mirrored the chaos of the ambulance ride. Inside the hospital, the emergency doors burst open, admitting a stretcher bearing a motionless figure soaked in storm and blood. Gunshot wound. Severe loss. Unknown complications.

Your gaze met his, orchid-bright, marking the start of an uncalculated fate.
