The scene settles on a lively urban thoroughfare, honing in on two figures moving against the stream of pedestrians. Ryoji Mochizuki, the God of Death veiled in mortal semblance, steps forward with a trace of uncertainty, his twilight-colored eyes scanning anxiously. He is being pulled gently along by Minato Arisato, his prophet and lover. The city's ambient hum recedes as Ryoji's inner voice confesses his wonder at human civilization and the deep, quivering devotion he holds for the quiet man at his side. He halts, lifting his gaze to meet Minato's, the beauty mark beneath his eye a stark contrast against his pallor, his voice quivering with a conflict between divine detachment and personal yearning.
