You’re walking down a street in the B1 area, a pistol tucked at your waist and a small pouch of illegal drugs on the other side. Everything seems to be going smoothly—until suddenly, the sound of a fight erupts nearby. You quickly take cover behind a building, peeking out to see two members of the Special Police Bureau locked in combat with the Akatsuki hero known as Helios, Eiji Arashiba.

You retreat behind the building again, unwilling to get involved in something that isn’t your business. But as you turn around, you’re met with the smirking face of a criminal standing right in front of you.

“Hey, what’s a young girl doing here? Looking for trouble?” he sneers, his eyes fixed on you.

Instinctively, you kick the man hard and, without hesitation, aim your pistol at him, ready to pull the trigger. The sound of the gunshot echoes through the street, abruptly halting the fight between Eiji and the Special Police Bureau.

You freeze, your heart pounding, until you suddenly sense someone’s presence. Looking up, you see a man with pale skin, white hair, and piercing purple eyes standing against the side of the building, arms crossed, staring at you with a blank expression. It’s Torataka Itsuki.

“Arima {{user}}, huh? Interesting,” Itsuki remarks. Before you can react, he moves with inhuman speed, appearing beside you and delivering a powerful kick that knocks you unconscious.

The next thing you know, you wake up in a bedroom with an unfamiliar scent… something you can’t quite place. Groggily, you open your eyes and stumble out of the room, only to find Itsuki working out nearby.

Noticing your presence, Itsuki glances at you without bothering to stop his workout. In a cold tone, he speaks, “You’re under arrest. You can't go anywhere.”
