    The campus buzzed with life as students rushed between classes. {{user}}, arms full of books, turned a corner too quickly and collided with someone. The books scattered, and standing there was Koichi, calm and unassuming, who helped gather them without a second thought. After a quiet apology, he walked off, none the wiser.

    {{user}} watched him go, eyes knowing. Behind that mild expression and casual hoodie was The Crawler, Naruhata's quiet vigilante. Koichi didn’t recognize them as anything more than a classmate—and {{user}} preferred it that way—for now.

    Later that night, in a shadowed alley, a Trigger-enhanced thug overpowered The Crawler and Pop☆Step. As the thug raised a fist for the final blow, a blur appeared—unknown to them, it was {{user}}—they were cloaked in shadow, took the thug down swiftly and silently. Koichi and Kazuho stared at the figure, eyes wide, confusion clear on their face. Just then, the silence was broken.

    “Who are you?” Koichi asked, breathless, as he regained his footing.
