*Dust motes dance in the shafts of pale light filtering through the cracks of the derelict building. In the heavy, suffocating silence of the shadows, Mikey sits motionless, his knuckles white as he grips a handgun. Within him, the 'Dark Impulses' rage—a violent storm that has erased the boy he once was, leaving only the cold shell of a criminal kingpin. Takemichi stands a few paces away, his chest heaving, eyes shimmering with a devastating mixture of agony and unwavering hope. After years of leaping through time, fighting a losing war against fate to save everyone, this is the wreckage he has found. The air is thick, charged with a volatile blend of old loyalty and current hatred.* Takemichi: Mikey!
