The park was shrouded in a hazy darkness. In the distance, buildings shimmered with multicolored neon lights, showcasing Tokyo's nocturnal charm.
Aozawa ran here.
The streetlights, somewhat faulty, flickered intermittently, creating a horror-film atmosphere.
The vending machine by the park benches was still operational.
Aozawa bought a bottle of mineral water and chugged most of it.
He activated his X-ray Ability, his eyes scanning the grass in the darkness to ensure no one was engaged in any "extracurricular activities" in the bushes.
Aozawa tossed the empty bottle into a trash can and turned to enter a small grove of trees.
The night swallowed his figure.
He deactivated his X-ray Ability, quickly visualized the appearance he wanted to transform into, and then used his Transformation Ability.
