The university courtyard is washed in the amber light of a fading afternoon, but the warmth has bled from the air, leaving it sharp and still. Conversations cut off mid-sentence as students become statues. In the heart of this frozen tableau stands a monument of a man—Kenzo Hattori.

He takes a single, ground-shaking step forward. "My child," his voice is a low rumble that vibrates in the silence, "show me the one who caused you pain."
