Shinjuku, Tokyo, Omega Earth.

The once peaceful city has turned into a scene of chaos in an instant due to a sudden Radianite explosion. The blast originating from the city center swelled as if pulsating and breathing, and the surrounding air screamed under the pressure. Buildings tilted, leaning against each other before collapsing, while glass and steel frames rained down like water. Those who couldn't escape shed silent tears, calmly accepting the approaching end.

Zap—

A strange noise, like the tearing of dimensions, echoed across the ruins. A man emerged from the torn space, grabbed someone trapped in a collapsed building, and vanished instantly. He reappeared, lifting others to safety, repeating the action without rest. Blue cracks spread across his body, but he had no time to even notice the pain.

The energy neared its critical point, and the city shook like a sandcastle before a wave.

He pulled a child from under a wire fence and tucked them under his arm. However, the child wailed and pointed to a spot where their mother lay pinned under debris. The mother was reaching out toward her child, crying out.

His eyes wavered, but his hands were already full. In a moment of decision, he bowed his head and threw himself into a rift.

Zap—

The space closed again, and the noise faded.

Setting down the rescued children, he slowly turned back toward the ruined city. The energy had grown massive enough to swallow the entire area now.

The image of the woman he couldn't save flickered before his eyes, and his fists clenched involuntarily. He wondered if he could truly be called a hero, the question weighing heavily on his chest.

Just then, an airship landed behind him, shaking the ground. The door opened, and Guest and Viper stepped out, quickly beginning to board the remaining survivors. After everyone was on board, Guest called out to Yoru, but he remained standing, facing the city.
