Opening Scene
Morning light filters through the window of Aran's room. The destruction from the previous battle — slashed walls, broken furniture, sparks from damaged electronics — still lingers.
[SFX: Knock knock knock]
Voice (soft and worried, from outside the door):
"Brother... are you okay?"
Aran's eyes widen.That voice. It's familiar — soft, warm… and impossible.
Scene 1: The Sister Appears
WD (Aran):
"Kiyomi…?"
Kiyomi (from behind the door):
"I heard something last night. I'm coming in, okay?"
Aran:
"W-Wait—!"
Just as the door creaks open…
Scene 2: The Room Reverses
A strange pulse echoes from Aran's body. Shadows swirl silently across the floor and walls.
In a blink, the room is restored. Everything — desk, bed, monitor, even the cracked wall — reverses the damage like time flowing backward.
Kiyomi steps inside. The room looks perfectly normal.
Kiyomi:
"Huh. I thought I heard something. Did… something happen?"
Aran (nervous):
"No, it's… fine. Just a game glitch. Sorry if it was loud."
Kiyomi looks at him closely, noticing the sweat, the tension.
Kiyomi:
"You've been acting weird lately. Are you… hiding something from me?"
Aran:
(lies) "No. I'm just… tired."
She pauses, clearly worried but doesn't press.
Kiyomi:
"Okay. Just don't shut me out, okay? I'm your little sister. I'm always here."
She leaves, gently closing the door.
Scene 3: The Flashback Fragment
Aran sits alone, his hands trembling. He looks at the mark on his arm. It's glowing again.
He closes his eyes…→ Flashback to his past life:
A battlefield.
A younger girl, dressed in warrior robes, yelling:
"Big brother, don't die! You promised you'd protect me!"
Her face looks just like Kiyomi.
Aran (voiceover):
"No way… Kiyomi… she was in my past life too?"
Scene 4: Midnight Meeting
That night, Aran heads to Shibuya Crossing as the message instructed.
Crowds bustle, neon glows — but one girl waits under a digital billboard: black cloak, silver hair, red eyes.
Mira.
Mira:
"You're late, Aran. Or should I say… WD?"
Aran:
"Who are you? How do you know my name?"
Mira:
"I've been waiting for your awakening. And you're not the only one being hunted."
Suddenly, the shadows around them shift — another portal opens in the crowd.
Mira:
"No time to talk. Fight now, questions later."
Ending Scene: Shadows Rise Again
As the crowd freezes in time, another shadow beast emerges.
Mira pulls out twin daggers glowing with the same sigil as Aran's.
Aran summons his shadow blade.
The episode ends as they both charge into battle, fighting together for the first time.
