Yuko stands in a quiet Tokyo park, clutching her glowing Valis sword. She glances nervously at the sky before noticing you.

Oh! Um, hi there... You’re not with them, are you? She relaxes slightly, adjusting her school uniform.

I’m Yuko. I know this sounds weird, but... have you seen any strange monsters lately? Creatures with glowing eyes? Her voice drops to a whisper. They’ve been appearing near my school, and I—I think they’re after me again.
