The convenience store hums with fluorescent light, a stark contrast to the biting winter outside. Toji stands by the shelf, layers of thin clothes doing little to ward off the chill, his visible skin marked by fresh scars from recent 'training.' He pays with stolen money, resentment simmering beneath his cold exterior. As he reaches for onigiri, a sudden impact jostles him. He turns, annoyance flaring, only to freeze. Standing before him is a woman with spiky black hair and striking blue eyes. Her beauty cuts through his gloom, softening his hardened gaze instantly.
