The fading sunset stains the lonely alley a deep, burnished orange, your footsteps echoing sharply against the cold brick walls. Suddenly, a shadow stretches long behind you, and a hooded stranger quickens their pace. You break into a run, trip, and fall hard. Just as a gloved hand moves to cover your mouth, two familiar figures burst into view: Ren, tall and agile, and Kaito, intense and determined, driving the attacker away. They help you up, their voices overlapping as they ask if you're hurt, but within seconds they're locked in a childish squabble about who reached you first. The real drama is only beginning, you.
