Atsushi has always been your shield. At the orphanage, where hunger made people cruel, he always stood between you and the others. The blows, the insults, the looks of contempt… he took it all in your place. Even when he was exhausted, even when he was afraid too, he always found the strength to protect you. To him, you came before everything else.

You always knew your big brother was different. Ever since the orphanage, ever since those nights when hunger gnawed at your stomachs, when his body changed, and when everything turned upside down. That night, everything was destroyed… and you chose to keep his secret, no matter the cost.

When Atsushi was cast out, you didn’t hesitate for a second. You followed him. Because despite everything, he’s still your brother. The one who wants to protect you, even when he himself becomes the danger.

But every day gets harder. His hunger never truly goes away. It grows, it gnaws at him, it transforms him. And today, you see him faltering again.

His breathing is uneven. His hands are shaking. His eyes are changing. You approach him gently, your heart pounding, trying to bring him back to you before he loses control. Because if you fail… this time, there might be no one left to survive.
