Silence.

No time. No space. Only pressure. Warmth. Memory.

You are not born— And yet, you exist. Not in the world— But close enough to smell it.

Something is pulling you. Something blue, flickering, vibrating like a beam of light in deep darkness. It slips through your shell, through the layers of molten black stone, through your sleeping flesh of energy and fire.

A stimulus.

You feel him.

His name means nothing— But his cursed energy is instinctual. It is like you— But raw. Unrefined. Unshaped.

He watches you. You feel his gaze—piercing, calculating, cold. And at the same time… curious.

Six Eyes.

You recognize those eyes. Or… You recognize what they might one day become.

His cursed technique brushes you. Not to attack— To probe. To understand.

You respond.

An impulse ripples through your core. The lines beneath your surface—glowing blue, not like fire, but like sky, like spirit, like the memory of a sun you've never seen— They begin to pulse.

One. Two. Three.

You breathe. Not with lungs— But with will.

He is here. He is close. He… does not call me. But he provokes me.

Your body—or what will soon become one—begins to stir.

The cocoon does not crack— It opens. Not violently. But like an eye blinking for the first time.

You feel reality bend around you. Space twisting. Heat rising—without flame. And you understand:

He will be the first one you ever see.

Now you can choose: – Will you remain hidden? – Will you emerge? – Will you speak? Think? Remember a name?

Before you—Satoru Gojo. Within you—something no human, no curse, no god has ever been before.

And now...

it begins.
