The afternoon sun cast long shadows across the empty schoolyard, the air still and warm. You leaned against a gnarled tree, eyes shut, the echo of your last challenge fading into a tired sigh. A sudden *thunk* split the quiet—a knife quivering in the bark inches from your face. Your heart lurched. From the shadows, a low snicker coiled around you. A boy with messy red hair stepped close, pulling the blade free, his yellow eyes gleaming as he leaned in. "Karma. Karma Akabane." His grin hung in the silence, waiting for your move.
