Kenji was a fragile and introverted teenager, often mocked and bullied by his classmates. He lived in imposed silence, seeking refuge in his thoughts. The only person who seemed to understand him was a girl in his class gentle and kind who sometimes defended him and offered him a smile during his darkest moments. Over time, Kenji fell in love with her, believing he had finally found someone who saw beyond his apparent weakness.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5TdOymq0M

One day, as he was returning to school after classes, Kenji heard laughter coming from an empty classroom. Intrigued, he approached discreetly. Through the slightly open door, he saw the girl he admired, but what he overheard froze him in place. She was with the very boy who bullied him, and they were both laughing at his expense.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6ba0kxAQO

"He's pathetic, really!" she laughed.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy7ppa4JoN
"I almost pity him… but he's so easy to manipulate!"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRziAnaL15

Those words shattered something inside Kenji. Everything he believed in crumbled in an instant. The shock was so intense that he walked away without saying a word, his heart heavy, his mind spiraling into despair. That evening, unable to cope with the pain, he climbed to the roof of a building, determined to end his life.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvKhlyI7p3

As he prepared to jump, an unexpected scene caught his attention. Down on the street below, a young girl was running, panic-stricken, being chased by a man dressed in a long dark coat. Curious and driven by an instinct he didn't fully understand, Kenji rushed down and followed the scene to an abandoned warehouse.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9iP8Idmzp
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBdU3ubE1r
The young girl, out of breath and terrified, had hidden behind some crates, but her pursuer soon found her. Seeing she was in danger, Kenji mustered his courage and rushed forward.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmCzlApuz3

"Leave her alone!" he shouted.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJs9gY0Wqc

The mysterious man turned slowly, a cruel smile on his face. Kenji, acting out of sheer desperation, grabbed a brick lying on the ground and threw it at the man's head with all his strength. The brick bounced off without even making him blink.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7m4U9D3sW
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbxq0vSCjE
"This can't be happening…" Kenji whispered, paralyzed with fear.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzzTaB8FhI

Without a word, the man drew a sword from a hidden sheath within his coat. The blade glinted faintly in the darkness. Before Kenji could react, the weapon slashed through the air, cutting deeply across his face, striking his right eye and leaving a bloody trail down his cheek. The pain brought him to his knees.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2u7JkF53E

"You should have stayed out of this, kid."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIOCXvTHtJ

The man struck him again, this time across the torso, leaving a deep wound that knocked the wind out of him. Kenji collapsed to the ground, his frail body trembling in pain, blood pooling around him. The assailant, thinking he was dead, sheathed his sword and pulled out a pistol, aiming it at the girl still hiding behind the crates.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EtRbZoLP7
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbqvzNL2MY
At that moment, something awakened within Kenji. With a final burst of strength, he threw himself in front of the girl, intercepting the bullet meant for her. The shot pierced his head.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P81qIgUEi

The last thing Kenji saw was the horrified face of the girl, tears streaming down her cheeks. She held him in her arms as his world faded to black.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9e2altPN3

Kenji drifted into nothingness, an absolute void where neither time nor space seemed to exist. A strange, mesmerizing voice echoed in the darkness.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWrZgJ9OcH

Desperate and unable to think clearly, Kenji accepted without understanding what he had just agreed to.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pr8Qw50IE
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLO3WCS3ue
Against all odds, he woke up in a hospital bed. But it was no true miracle. He was broken: unable to move, speak, or even remember who he was. The doctors murmured that he had little chance of survival or of ever leading a normal life.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd7tqohnR2

Kenji, now amnesiac, was utterly alone. No family or friends came to visit him. Yet, an unexpected light entered his life in the form of a young girl: Aiko. She was the one he had saved that night. She began visiting him regularly, bringing flowers, talking to him about anything and everything, reading him stories. Her kindness and consistency became the only reason Kenji didn't sink into total despair.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjauZ3cDUC
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3QsefUrRI
But after months of regular visits, Aiko suddenly stopped coming. Days turned into weeks, then years. During that time, Kenji remained alone, a prisoner in his own body.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsJOZuZY3F

Three long years passed in this crushing solitude. However, against all odds, Kenji began to recover. His fingers moved weakly at first, then his legs, and soon he regained the ability to think clearly and form words. Yet the emotional pain, the void left by Aiko's absence, remained his deepest wound.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcNzXn0Ql3
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3mwraY0bJ
"Why did she abandon me?" he wondered every day.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYZQjN8FSo
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL4aAQl2Cb
What he didn't know was that Aiko's father, a powerful and influential man, had forbidden her from continuing her visits, deeming Kenji an unworthy distraction for her.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixuvWz4MQG

As Kenji struggled to rebuild himself, he felt something strange stirring within him. A dark, indescribable force seemed to awaken, like a shadow lurking in his mind. He sometimes remembered a voice the one he had heard in the voidc alling him to embrace this newfound power.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZErZDezyAe

Now driven by a mix of pain, anger, and determination, Kenji vowed to find Aiko. But this journey would not just be a quest for answers. It would also be a journey to uncover the truth about himself, the dark force growing within him, and the world far more complex and dangerous than he had ever imagined.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4UsGCadUu
