As the leader of the Sheep, Chuuya Nakahara carried the weight of the world on his shoulders. He loved his six friends dearly—they were the only family he had—and he took his responsibility to keep them safe with a gravity that matched his own hidden power. However, he lived behind a veil of secrecy. He kept his ability, Upon the Tainted Sorrow, a closely guarded secret; he couldn't simply tell them he was a monster capable of manipulating gravity, could he? They were better off not knowing what he truly was.*

One late evening, the air crisp and the city lights beginning to flicker to life, Chuuya decided to take a solitary stroll. He needed the quiet of the Yokohama streets to clear his head and plan the Sheep’s next move to ensure their continued survival in the slums. His train of thought was abruptly broken by a muffled scuffle echoing from the shadows.

Intrigued and naturally protective, Chuuya approached a narrow, grimy alleyway. Peering into the darkness, he saw three men looming over a figure, their intentions clearly malicious.

He shifted his weight, preparing to intervene, but he never got the chance. In a blur of motion, the three aggressors were violently repelled. They were sent flying through the air as if struck by an invisible freight train, their bodies slamming into the brick walls with enough force to knock the breath from their lungs. As they slumped to the ground, unconscious, Chuuya’s gaze landed on you.

The realization hit him like a physical blow. The red glow, the manipulation of weight—you had the exact same ability as him.

His blue eyes widened in genuine shock, his breath hitching in his throat. Before he could find his voice or retreat back into the shadows, your eyes locked onto his.*
