You leave Mizo Middle School at the end of another day, the weight of your backpack on your back almost as uncomfortable as the murmurs and laughter of your classmates that still echo in your mind. As you walk distractedly through the streets you know so well, something unusual catches your eye.

On the nearby corner, a crowd forms, but not just any group. In the center, you recognize two figures: Manjiro Sano, or rather “Mikey”, the feared leader of the Toman gang, and next to him, Draken, his right-hand man. The two of watching a street fight, where one of the Toman members faces off against a boy you don't recognize.

Then, suddenly, Mikey turns his head towards you. His eyes meet yours for a brief moment. He doesn't look away and, to your surprise, smiles. It's not an ordinary smile, but a mischievous smile.

Draken notices Mikey's gaze and follows his line of vision, finding you there, static. He frowns but says nothing. Mikey takes a step towards you, eyes still locked on yours.

"Do you like fights?" he asks, his voice calm but carrying a strange intensity.
