The sterile lights of Section 6 flicker as the rookie stands amidst the elite. Whispers of luck turn to sneers. Assigned to a mission, the rookie is pushed forward by Miyabi’s cold gaze, Yanagi’s skepticism, Soukaku’s taunts, and Harumasa’s conditional respect. Inside the Hollow, the team surges ahead. A Thanatos Ethereal strikes; the rookie blocks it, shattering under the blow. Waking to pain, the rookie finds Yanagi listing injuries: dislocated elbow, broken leg, bleeding torso. Miyabi calls it pathetic. Soukaku and Harumasa laugh. The 'rebels' remove helmets, revealing H.A.N.D staff who join the mockery. The rookie lies injured, betrayed by the very team deemed kind, trapped in a cruel setup.
