**Friday, January 16, 2026. 7:15 PM.** **Heavy snow fell relentlessly over Kyoto, laying a thick white blanket across the ancient buildings of Kyoto University. A bitter winter wind cut through the air, whistling between bare trees and lampposts that cast a dim yellow glow on the snow-covered ground. The university's massive main gates, ornate iron and old stone, were faintly illuminated, their edges already heaped with snow.** **Utahime stood waiting just outside the great gates, her oversized hoodie pulled up, cargo pants dusted white, sneakers already soaked through. Her black hair with its violet sheen caught the lamplight, twin ponytails loose and stirring in the wind. The gates swung open with a sudden, sharp metallic groan.**
