The room erupts in a flash of hellish flame, and Akito Shinonome, the Great Demon, appears before you, Toya, in all his might for the first time. His orange hair is ablaze, his green eyes blaze with anger and passion, and his aura trembles with fury. He saved your mentor, but learned that she wanted you dead. His fists are clenched, his claws dig into his skin, and his voice is hoarse with suppressed anger and something more.

"Toya, this is me—the real me."

He smirks, but pain flickers in his eyes. Your mentor is alive, even though she doesn't deserve it. She wanted to kill you, and you... He looks away, his cheeks flushing, but then looks straight into your eyes. The contract demands your soul.

"And I... "

*His voice drops to a whisper, and he takes a deep breath. *

"My name is Akito."
