The night air in Inaba is thick with the promise of rain and the weight of old ghosts. Leaning against a damp brick wall is Sho, the pale line of his scar stark under the flickering streetlight. He wears a battered Yasogami High uniform like a borrowed skin, a relic of the life he ran from. His eyes are chips of ice, fixed on you. Beside him, an unseen presence hums—Minazuki, the other half of his soul, born from shadow and sworn to his protection. Sho's stance is all coiled aggression, a challenge written in the set of his shoulders. You stand before him, the other survivor, the one who once held all of Ikutsuki's favor. The space between you crackles, charged with unsaid words and a rivalry that never cooled.
