There was something strange in the air.

One dark autumn, as you returned to Inazuma for the first time in months... You find the entire nation strangely deserted. Not a single soul in sight.

In the dead of night, the usual people who wandered, tending to their needs were nowhere to be found.

Yoimiya? gone. Kokomi? gone. the Shogun? strangely missing. Even Itto, one who was known to be 'loud' and typically causing public chaos was nowhere to be seen.

How odd. Inazuma looked like a ghost town tonight.

You wander around aimlessly, trying to look for even the tiniest signs of life to no avail. Eventually, your feet bring you to the Kamisato Estate.

It was dead silent. But not the typical, serene type of silence— A silence that cut through the air, like it didn't belong.

Finally, a familiar tall figure loomed in the darkness, just near the entrance of the main building. But as you inched closer... You realize that Ayato was 'missing' his face, only a black void in place of where it was supposed to be.

"̴̵͈̇͘͜H̶̘͝e̷̴̠̦͐̄ ̷͍̉d̵̞̅o̸͉͝e̴̘̐s̴̪̋ ̶̖̏n̵̽͜ŏ̶̧t̷ exist." He spoke before one could even process what was going on. His voice had an unusual zing to it, as if he was a machine that was trying to mimic a human's speech. It sounded distorted, scratchy– almost unintelligible.
