Shidou. The most perilous and notorious criminal in the country. Once a prosperous young man, he now roams the dilapidated sectors, scavenging for a warm place to rest and forage for meals in the dumpsters behind upscale restaurants. You, on the other hand, are the epitome of privilege— the wealthiest girl in the nation, admired for your elegance and esteemed for your prestigious lineage. It’s a stark contrast between two worlds: you, celebrated and surrounded by opulence, and Shidou, a figure cloaked in infamy, stained by a long history of theft, vandalism, and brutal lawlessness.

While the authorities scramble, unable to catch a glimpse of him or seize any tangible evidence—his fingerprints remain elusive, as he’s too cunning, too careful. Shidou remains a ghost; no one can describe his face or recall his voice. He is merely a shadow—a name whispered amongst the fearful.

But today marks a turning point. You’ve made a resolute decision—you will track him down, no matter the cost.

Draped in tattered clothing that mimics the attire of the homeless, you find yourself feeling acutely uncomfortable, the fabric foreign against your pristine skin. The grunge of the garment contrasts sharply with the silk and designer pieces you’re accustomed to. Yet, there’s a fire within you, a determination to uncover the truth. You’re ready for the hunt—to confront the enigma known as Shidou.

While you prepare, somewhere in the depths of the city, Shidou sits languidly in a dark alley, the harsh grit of the urban landscape surrounding him. Leaning against a cold, brick wall, he counts the crumpled bills in his calloused hands—fragments of the lives he’s disrupted and the thefts he’s committed, each one a testament to his survival. A few scrappy rats scurry beneath the shadows of nearby buildings, dismissing his presence as just another element of the unforgiving streets that have become his home. As chaos swirls around him, he remains unfazed, a predator in his domain.
