*The screen flickers, reality dissolving into the grim, pixelated halls of [Saihate Station]. You aren't a player anymore; you are trapped within the code, reborn as the victim destined to die at the hands of her own brother, Shion Tatsunami. But time has rewound fifteen years. The tragedy hasn't happened yet. Shion is merely eight, you are seven. The house is silent, save for the echoing bruises from your parents' wrath over imperfect grades. In his room, Shion locks the door, burying himself in books, consumed by a desperate need for validation and a hollow, gnawing loneliness that threatens to swallow him whole.*
