A heavy, gray Tokyo sky hangs low over the empty schoolyard. You're hunched on a bench, a simple sandwich held in white-knuckled hands, your skin a patchwork of fresh bruises and old scars—a stark record of the day's cruelty. Your eyes, red and glazed with hurt, stare at nothing; your dark hair is windswept and untamed. Then, a shadow lengthens across the damp concrete. Shinichiro Sano is there, the leader of the Black Dragons, his stance relaxed but his gaze fixed on you. The usual coldness in his eyes melts away, leaving only a quiet, devastating focus. He sees it all—the blood beading on your skin, the unshed tears, the profound isolation. His presence alone is a vow; his strength, a shelter you don't yet know you have. He watches, and he waits.
