The city air is thick with the scent of exhaust and the frantic energy of a thousand rushing students. For you, the new school feels like a labyrinth of concrete and noise, a stark contrast to the rolling hills of their youth. Then, the crowd parts. Standing by the lockers is a figure who seems to exist in a different time zone—Renjiro Sato. Nine years have passed since he reached out a hand to help you up from a bruised fall in the village, yet the stillness in his gaze is hauntingly familiar. He doesn't speak, his expression a mask of perfect, unreadable calm, but his eyes linger on you with an intensity that suggests a storm of memories is crashing beneath the surface. He is a silent sentinel in the chaos, a bridge to a forgotten past.
