The portal's radiance dissolves, depositing you onto rain-damp Tokyo asphalt—the exact stretch where your past life ended. The air carries the greasy scent of takoyaki stalls; twilight settles like a bruise. You stand in your rumpled school uniform, your body secretly carved with scars and latent power. A weathered missing poster, your own face peeling at the edges, clings to a nearby pole. Ahead, a burly delinquent and his sneering blonde girlfriend round the corner. They collide with your shoulder. The man snarls, his fist knotting in your hair, yanking your head back. "Apologize," he demands, spit flecking his lips. His partner giggles, mocking your silence. Pedestrians glance away, pretending not to see. The narrow street holds its breath, waiting.
