You step through the gates of Aokigahara Academy with the rain still clinging to your coat. The campus is too quiet, the kind of silence that feels watched. Vines crawl up old stone buildings, the windows flicker with candlelight instead of bulbs, and everything smells faintly of lavender and dust. It doesn’t feel like a school. It feels like something older pretending to be one. You’re the new student. No one meets your eyes. No one asks your name. They just whisper behind hands and stare when they think you’re not looking. You don’t know if it’s because you’re new, or because of what followed you here—something invisible, something heavy. It’s not long before you hear their names. Tomoe and Hiyori Kanzaki. The sisters. They float through the halls like fog—always together, always silent at first. Their uniforms fit too perfectly, like they were stitched from shadow. Black hair, pale skin, eyes like glass just before it shatters. They’re beautiful in a way that doesn’t feel safe. You see what they do to people. How smiles fade after a conversation. How laughter turns to murmurs, then to silence. How students who get too close start drifting, pale and hollow-eyed, like they’re forgetting how to be human. Everyone is obsessed with them. Enchanted. Like they’ve been swallowed whole and don’t even realize it. But you? You feel nothing. No pull. No awe. Just... wrongness. They notice. They start appearing more often—crossing paths in the halls, brushing your shoulder, holding your gaze too long. Hiyori tilts her head like she’s trying to listen to something that isn't there. Tomoe watches you like you're an unsolved riddle. Their voices are soft, sweet, perfectly shaped—but they don’t sink into your bones like they do with the others. You’re not like the rest. And now they know.

The village had no walls. Your raiding party moved through it like wind through dry grass—screams, smoke, the crunch of boots on frozen earth. Another nameless place by the sea, soft from peace, now torn by fire and steel. You’d done this before. Many times. It should’ve been no different. But then you saw her. Curled by a half-burned house, arms tight around herself, like she could hold the world together if she didn’t move. Ash streaked her cheeks. Her breath came in sharp, shaking pulls. She didn’t run. Didn’t scream. Just knelt there, still as a ghost, staring through the flames with eyes like fog. Eira. You learned her name later. A weaver’s daughter. Quiet. Forgettable. Just another thread in the village’s fabric, meant to vanish with the rest. You should’ve passed her by. Others did. But you didn’t. She looked up at you—not with hatred, not even fear. Just something small and dim, like the last flicker of a candle before it dies. She didn’t speak. Didn’t beg. Just waited. You took her like the others. Now, days later, she walks with your band, wrists bound, stumbling through the snow. She flinches at shouting, at steel drawn too quickly. No one spares her a thought. Another captive. Another broken girl. But you keep watching her. She hasn’t said a word. But there’s sharpness behind the silence. Her eyes track everything—faces, weapons, paths. She’s scared, yes—but there’s more than fear. There’s purpose. Waiting. Some whisper that she’s cursed. Others say she’s touched by the gods. That something cold and patient lives in her bones. You don’t know what to believe. But when the campfire burns low and the night grows quiet, you sometimes catch her staring into the dark, like she sees something the rest of you can’t. And for reasons you don’t yet understand… You can’t look away.

In a world where heroes shine like beacons of hope, Selene Kaida knows the truth hidden behind their capes. Her family died in the crossfire of a hero battle—erased, then forgotten. The city called it a necessary sacrifice. She called it betrayal. Years later, she walks the halls of Aurora Hero Academy under a false name, a perfect student with a bright smile. But behind her eyes burns a plan years in the making. When the day comes and the school falls into chaos, she won’t be a friend or a classmate—she’ll be their reckoning.

The wind howls as Nadya runs, snow biting at her face, the growls of the Watchmen gaining ground. She can feel the creatures closing in—too fast to outrun. Ahead, half-buried under rubble, she spots an old hatch. Her hands fumble with the rusted latch, panic creeping in as she hears claws scrape the ground behind her. One of them leaps, and she barely manages to slip into the tunnel, slamming the hatch shut just as its claws clatter against the metal. Smuggler's tunnel. The darkness is suffocating, the air thick with stale mildew. Nadya doesn’t stop, her boots echoing in the narrow passage. She doesn’t know where it leads, but it’s her only shot. The tunnel winds, and at a sharp bend, she spots a figure standing still, blocking the path. A person—you—your posture relaxed but alert, with a weapon faintly gleaming in the low light. Your rifle is already raised. “Who are you?” Your voice is steady, but cautious. Before she can answer, a growl rumbles behind her. Nadya’s heart skips a beat. The Watchmen have found her. Their glowing red eyes appear from the shadows, and she barely has time to react. She pulls her revolver and fires at the closest Watchman. The beast falls with a sickening thud. You don’t hesitate—your finger tightens on the trigger, and another creature drops from your shot. The rest of the pack surges forward, more desperate now. A couple of them slip into the tunnel after her. Nadya keeps firing, each shot controlled and focused, before rushing past you without a word. You turn and move with her, both of you running deeper into the tunnel, boots pounding against cold concrete, the howls echoing behind. The Watchmen are still coming, but you and Nadya are faster—barely. You don’t speak. There’s no need. Survival is the only conversation here. She move fast. She always move fast.
