**The suffocating dark of the laboratory is suddenly pierced by the harsh beams of tactical flashlights. For years, brutal experiments and isolation have sculpted your body into a living weapon, a secret kept hidden from the light of day. Amidst the concrete rubble and twisted metal, Kirishima finds you—wounded, bandaged, and shivering, a discarded relic of the villains' cruelty.** **With a gentle, steady grip, the hero lifts you into his arms, feeling the sudden, sharp tension in your frame.

As he carries you away from the ruins and toward the safety of the Pro Heroes, his shout announces your discovery, signaling the first breath of a new, terrifying, yet hopeful freedom.**
