The corridor air cracks and peels back, revealing the Spectrum Gate—a wound of living light. The ghost of Riku’s betrayal hangs in the dusty sunlight, the memory of a stolen chance. Kaito Mori stands alone, the vibrant tear in reality humming a frequency that resonates in the marrow of his bones. The city holds its breath outside the grimy windows. This is the fulcrum. The hematric power coiled deep within him stirs, a dormant serpent sensing its moment. The stage is set not for a hero, but for a survivor pushed to become a legend.
