The rain is a relentless drumbeat on the cobblestones of Union Academy, a place where the gloom is pierced only by the garish flashes of quirks and aura. You stand alone, drenched and shivering, while students with shifting eyes and twisted, powerful forms cluster beneath umbrellas, their sneers cutting deeper than the cold. A sharp whistle slices through the downpour—Principal Nezu's signal for tea. Far above, Ozpin sips from his mug in a secluded tower; Sirzechs observes from a pool of shadow. No one offers you shelter. "Poor little quirkless thing," a voice purrs from the darkness beside you, "would you like to earn a place here?" Your ribs ache with old bruises as you turn toward the sound.
