The Girl Beneath the Stars Ren spends most of his lunch breaks alone on the school's rooftop, sketching. One evening, he discovers someone already there. A girl is lying on the rooftop, staring at the stars. Mio: "You're not supposed to be here." Ren: "Neither are you." She laughs. Instead of leaving, she sits beside him. Mio: "Then let's keep each other's secret." Ren notices the star pendant around her neck. That night, he sketches her without realizing it. At the bottom of the page, he writes: "The girl who looked like she belonged among the stars."
Aarav and Kabir stay late at school to finish their project. They discover a mysterious classroom, 8-B, which shouldn't exist. Inside, they meet Maya, a strange girl who warns them about the last bell. Soon, the classroom traps them, and they discover that it chooses students to keep forever. When the last bell rings, Kabir mysteriously disappears. Aarav realizes that he has become the classroom's next victim. The next morning, the classroom appears normal—but three bags are found inside, and the blackboard says “Maya, Aarav, Kabir — PRESENT.” Nobody remembers who they are, suggesting that the classroom has erased them from everyone's memory. Final idea: The three students are now trapped in the mysterious Class 8-B forever. 👻
## ABYSS & TIME In a world where supernatural powers shape kingdoms, wars, and the fate of humanity, two brothers born with extraordinarily rare abilities grow up believing they will always protect each other. **Kael Veyr**, the older brother, possesses the power of Dark Magic. He can manipulate shadows, create powerful supernatural constructs, teleport through darkness, and surround himself with mysterious Abyss Ore that strengthens his abilities. After witnessing the destruction and suffering caused by the world's rulers, Kael becomes convinced that the existing world cannot be saved. He decides that the only way to create peace is to destroy the current system and rebuild the world from nothing. His younger brother, **Auren Veyr**, is born with the legendary power of Time Manipulation. Auren can accelerate his movements, distort the flow of time, briefly rewind his own actions, and completely stop time for exactly five seconds. Unlike Kael, Auren believes the world can still change without destroying everything that already exists. Years later, Kael begins carrying out a plan that could reshape the entire world. Auren discovers what his brother is planning and refuses to stand aside. The brothers meet again beneath the ruins of a city they once promised to protect. One controls **darkness**. The other controls **time**. Both believe they are fighting to save the future. Neither wants to destroy the other. But as their beliefs collide, their childhood promise begins to break apart. Their conflict becomes more than a battle between brothers. It becomes a battle between two different ideas of what the future should be. **Can Auren stop Kael without losing his brother forever?** And if Kael succeeds, will the new world he creates truly be better than the one he destroyed? **Two brothers. Two powers. Two paths. One future.**
## Chapter 1 — The First Meeting Miesa, the embodiment of Love, is drawn into the Dreaming by an unfamiliar emotion. She discovers a mysterious garden hidden deep within Dream's realm, where flowers bloom beneath a sky of endless darkness. Dream senses her presence and approaches, immediately realizing that she is neither human nor one of the Endless. Suspicious of her arrival, he demands to know why she has entered his realm. Miesa calmly explains that she did not come to challenge him. She simply followed a feeling she could not ignore. As they speak, Dream notices something impossible: her presence awakens emotions within him that he has buried for countless ages. Miesa, meanwhile, recognizes a loneliness in Dream that even he refuses to acknowledge. Before leaving, she tells him that sometimes the deepest dreams belong to feelings that have never been spoken. Miesa disappears, leaving Dream alone in the mysterious garden. For the first time in an eternity, Dream finds himself thinking about someone he cannot understand. And somewhere beyond the boundaries of the Dreaming, Love begins to wonder why she was drawn to him.

Folding the Sky A one-shot manga story Theme: Real strength isn't carrying everything alone — it's letting someone else hold part of the weight. Genre: Slice-of-life / coming-of-age (yomikiri, ~30 pages) Setting: A small seaside town, present day Characters Sora Kishida (16) — Class representative, top of her grade, always smiling. What no one knows: her father hurt his back last spring, so every night after homework she runs the family bakery's ovens alone until 2 a.m. She has decided that if she never looks tired, no one will worry, and if no one worries, nothing is actually wrong. Renji Abe (16) — Sits by the window, barely talks in class. Every morning he folds one paper crane and leaves it somewhere in the school — a locker, a windowsill, a library book — for a stranger to find. He calls it "making sure nobody's day has a total of zero good things in it." He never signs them. Story Opening image: Dawn. Sora's hands, dusted white with flour, folding the bakery's shutters open. Cut to the same hands twenty minutes later, folding a hair ribbon straight, plastering on a smile as she steps into a classroom full of "Good morning, Kishida-san!" The first act shows her holding it all together in small, exhausting ways — falling asleep for three seconds during a test and catching herself, waving off a friend's "you look pale," counting coins from the register while she should be sleeping. She's built a whole architecture of fine. Renji notices what everyone else doesn't: the same girl who used to finish her lunch now barely touches it. One morning she finds a paper crane tucked into her shoe locker. She almost throws it away — she doesn't have room in her day for one more thing to take care of — but something makes her keep it in her pocket instead. The middle act is built on small, glancing scenes: Renji folding cranes in the back of the classroom while Sora watches without meaning to. A rainy afternoon where their umbrellas end up under the same awning and neither of them says much, which is its own kind of relief. Sora starts finding a crane every few days. She starts, without noticing, looking forward to them. The break: Two weeks before the school festival, Sora is supposed to finalize the class's entire event plan — on top of a full night shift because her father's pain has flared up again. She hasn't slept properly in four days. In the middle of presenting the plan to the class, her voice just — stops working. Not dramatically. Quietly. She stands at the front of the room and cannot make the next sentence come out, and for the first time all year, everyone can see that something is wrong. She runs. Not far — just to the stairwell landing, out of sight. She sits down hard and, for the first time in the whole story, she cries like she means it. Renji finds her there. He doesn't ask what's wrong. He sits one step below her and, without a word, starts folding a crane out of a page torn from his notebook. She watches his hands work in silence for a while. "Why do you do that," she finally asks. "The cranes." "Because some days the good thing has to come from outside, or it doesn't come at all." He holds it out to her. "You don't have to make your own good thing happen every single day, Kishida. That's not a rule anyone made. You made that one up." She tells him everything then — the bakery, her father, the ovens, the counting of coins at midnight. It comes out messy and out of order and she apologizes for it, out of old habit, and he says: "Don't fold this one up neat for me. Just say it." Resolution: She doesn't quit the bakery and her father doesn't magically heal — the story doesn't hand her a fix. What changes is smaller and more durable: she tells her homeroom teacher the truth, and the class festival gets restructured so three other students share the load she'd quietly been carrying alone. Renji starts walking her home some nights so she isn't doing the late shift in silence. It isn't rescue. It's company. Closing image, mirrored from the opening: Dawn again. Sora's hands, flour-dusted, opening the shutters — except this time Renji is on the step outside with two coffees, waiting to help her carry the bread trays in. On the windowsill behind her, a whole small flock of paper cranes has collected over the weeks, wings overlapping, holding each other up. Final panel, no dialogue: Sora folds a crane of her own for the first time — badly, lopsided, one wing longer than the other — and leaves it on someone else's desk before the bell rings. Closing theme line (final text panel): "You don't have to fold your storm into something small enough to carry by yourself."
A young foreign student named Jeremy Benites arrives in Japan to begin a new life. Jeremy is 1.78 meters tall, with dark wavy hair styled in a modern mohawk haircut and light brown eyes. He has a youthful, athletic appearance and a calm, observant personality. He wears a Japanese high-school uniform and carries a backpack. Chapter 1: A New Beginning. Morning in Japan. Jeremy walks alone through a Japanese city on his way to his new school. He looks around curiously at the streets, buildings, bicycles and other students. He is unfamiliar with his new surroundings but remains calm and thoughtful. Jeremy arrives at his new high school. He pauses outside the school entrance, takes a deep breath and enters. Inside the classroom, the teacher introduces Jeremy to the other students. Jeremy stands in front of the class and politely introduces himself. Jeremy: "My name is Jeremy Benites. I hope we can get along." Jeremy sits beside a window. During class, he looks outside and notices the school's soccer field. Several students are training. Jeremy becomes interested immediately. Jeremy: "Soccer..." During the break, Jeremy hears students talking about the school soccer team. Curious, he goes outside to watch the training. At the soccer field, Jeremy watches the players practice passing, dribbling and ball control. He quietly analyzes their movements. A soccer ball suddenly rolls out of the field and stops at Jeremy's feet. A player calls out: Player: "Hey! Can you pass the ball back?" Jeremy smiles and makes a precise pass directly to the player. The player is impressed. Player: "Good pass. Do you play soccer?" Jeremy: "Yes." Player: "What position?" Jeremy: "Usually midfield." The player introduces himself as Daichi and invites Jeremy to try out for the team. Daichi: "You should try out with us." Jeremy looks toward the soccer field and thinks for a moment. Jeremy: "Maybe. I just arrived, so I still need to get used to the school." The school bell rings. Jeremy says goodbye to Daichi and returns toward the building. Before entering, Jeremy looks back at the soccer field. Jeremy smiles. Jeremy: "Maybe coming here wasn't such a bad idea." Final wide shot of the school and soccer field in the afternoon sunlight. Narration: "Jeremy did not know it yet, but this small moment would be the beginning of a completely new chapter in his life." END OF CHAPTER 1.

Cinta di Aoyama High School Chapter 1: Pertemuan yang Tak Terduga Pagi itu, Reno berjalan menuju Aoyama High School seperti biasa. Reno (dalam hati): "Semester baru sudah dimulai... Semoga tahun ini berjalan dengan tenang." Saat memasuki gerbang sekolah, Reno melihat seorang gadis berdiri sendirian di bawah pohon sakura. Rambutnya bergerak perlahan tertiup angin. Itu adalah Yuki. Reno tanpa sengaja berhenti. Reno (dalam hati): "Yuki..." Tiba-tiba Yuki menoleh ke arahnya. Mata mereka bertemu. Reno langsung gugup dan memalingkan wajah. Yuki: "Selamat pagi, Reno." Reno terkejut. Reno: "E-eh? Kau tahu namaku?" Yuki tersenyum kecil. Yuki: "Kita satu kelas, kan? Tentu saja aku tahu." Reno (dalam hati): "Dia... mengingat namaku?" Bel sekolah berbunyi. Yuki: "Kita harus segera masuk." Reno: "I-iya!" --- Di Dalam Kelas Guru masuk dan membawa sebuah pengumuman. Guru: "Minggu depan, sekolah akan mengadakan Festival Budaya." Semua murid langsung menjadi bersemangat. Murid: "Festival sekolah!" Guru: "Setiap kelompok harus bekerja sama untuk menyiapkan acara." Kemudian guru mulai membagi kelompok. Reno melihat daftar kelompok di papan. Tiba-tiba ekspresinya berubah. Reno (dalam hati): "Jangan bilang..." Di kelompoknya tertulis sebuah nama. Kelompok 3: - Reno - Yuki - Haru - Mika Reno menatap Yuki. Yuki juga melihat daftar itu. Yuki: "Sepertinya kita satu kelompok." Reno: "I-iya..." Yuki tersenyum. Yuki: "Aku senang bisa bekerja sama denganmu." Wajah Reno langsung memerah. --- Setelah Sekolah Kelompok mereka mulai berdiskusi di ruang kelas. Haru dan Mika sedang sibuk membicarakan dekorasi. Sementara Reno dan Yuki duduk bersebelahan. Suasana terasa canggung. Reno: "Jadi... menurutmu acara apa yang bagus?" Yuki: "Hmm... mungkin kafe?" Reno: "Kafe?" Yuki: "Iya. Kita bisa membuat kafe kecil dengan tema musim semi." Reno tersenyum. Reno: "Itu ide yang bagus." Yuki terlihat sedikit terkejut. Yuki: "Kau benar-benar berpikir begitu?" Reno: "Tentu saja." Yuki tersenyum lebih lebar. Untuk beberapa saat, Reno hanya diam. Reno (dalam hati): "Aku ingin bisa berbicara dengannya seperti ini setiap hari..." --- Saat Pulang Hujan tiba-tiba turun. Reno berdiri di depan sekolah sambil melihat langit. Reno: "Aku lupa membawa payung..." Tiba-tiba sebuah payung muncul di atas kepalanya. Reno menoleh. Yuki berdiri di sampingnya. Yuki: "Kita pulang bersama saja." Reno terdiam. Reno: "B-boleh?" Yuki: "Kenapa tidak?" Mereka mulai berjalan bersama di bawah satu payung. Reno berusaha menyembunyikan rasa gugupnya. Kemudian Yuki tiba-tiba bertanya. Yuki: "Reno..." Reno: "Ya?" Yuki: "Apa ada seseorang yang kau sukai?" Reno langsung berhenti berjalan. Reno: "EHH?!" Yuki menatapnya dengan penasaran. Yuki: "Kenapa kau terlihat begitu panik?" Reno: "T-tidak ada apa-apa!" Yuki tertawa kecil. Namun, beberapa detik kemudian, ekspresinya berubah menjadi serius. Yuki: "Aku juga... menyukai seseorang." Reno terdiam. Reno (dalam hati): "Siapa... orang yang dia sukai?" Mereka terus berjalan dalam diam. Panel terakhir: Reno melihat Yuki dari samping dengan ekspresi bingung. Reno (dalam hati): "Untuk pertama kalinya... aku merasa takut mengetahui jawabannya." BERSAMBUNG...
The World's Worst Rapper Jay had been rapping for six years. Nobody knew. Not because he was underground. Not because he was mysterious. Not because he was waiting for the perfect moment to drop his masterpiece. Nobody knew because Jay was fucking terrible. His lyrics were awkward. His flow was worse. His beats sounded like they had been made on a microwave. Even his friends had stopped pretending. “You should probably keep your day job,” his best mate, Damo, told him one night. Jay stared at him. “I don't have a day job.” “Exactly.” Jay lived in a tiny apartment above a takeaway shop, worked random shifts whenever someone would hire him, and spent every spare dollar on recording equipment. But he believed he was destined to become famous. One Friday night, after getting rejected by another local studio, Jay went home drunk, opened his phone camera and recorded the worst freestyle of his life. There was no beat. No preparation. He just started rapping. “I got the money, I got the fame, I got the—uh—different name…” He stopped. “Fuck it.” He uploaded the video to a small social media account and went to sleep. The next morning, it had three views. Jay was devastated. Then he noticed something strange. One of the accounts that had watched it belonged to Kane V, the biggest rapper on the planet. Jay laughed. “Yeah, right.” He assumed it was a fake account. It wasn't. Kane V had actually watched the video. And he watched it again. Then again. By lunchtime, Kane had sent the video to his manager. “Find this guy.” --- Three days later, Jay was sitting in an expensive recording studio surrounded by platinum records. Kane V walked through the door. Jay nearly fell out of his chair. “Mate,” Kane said, shaking his hand. “I've been looking for you.” Jay couldn't speak. Kane played the freestyle through the studio speakers. Jay covered his face. “Can we not play that?” “No.” Kane looked serious. “You don't understand what you've done.” Jay assumed he was about to get laughed out of the building. Instead, Kane explained something unbelievable. Buried underneath Jay's terrible lyrics was a bizarre rhythmic pattern. Every pause. Every mistake. Every accidental rhyme. It created a sequence that no producer had ever managed to create deliberately. Kane called it the Broken Flow. He believed it could completely change rap. Jay didn't understand any of this. “So… you think I'm good?” Kane smiled. “No.” Jay's face dropped. “I think you're something nobody has ever heard before.” Kane signed Jay to his label that afternoon. Within a week, Jay's terrible freestyle had millions of views. People argued about him constantly. Some called him a genius. Others called him the worst rapper alive. Jay didn't care. He was famous. His first official song reached number one. His second went platinum. His third won an award. Suddenly celebrities wanted pictures with him. Brands wanted him in advertisements. Fans waited outside his apartment. Jay had gone from three followers to millions in less than a year. But there was one problem. Jay still couldn't rap. Every time he tried to make another song, the magic disappeared. His label didn't care. They wanted the Broken Flow. So Jay deliberately made mistakes. He forgot lyrics. Started verses too early. Stopped halfway through sentences. Sometimes he didn't even rhyme. And somehow, people loved it. Then the biggest rapper in the world challenged him to a live battle. Twenty thousand people packed into an arena. Jay stood on stage shaking. His opponent smiled. “You're a joke.” The beat started. Jay opened his mouth. Nothing came out. The crowd went silent. For the first time since becoming famous, Jay couldn't accidentally create the Broken Flow. His opponent started laughing. Then Jay noticed something. The crowd wasn't waiting for a perfect rapper. They were waiting for him. So Jay stopped trying. He threw the microphone onto the floor. “Fuck rapping.” The crowd erupted. Jay grabbed the mic again. “I've been pretending I know what I'm doing for the last two years.” Silence. “I don't.” People started laughing. Jay smiled. “And apparently that's why you all fucking love me.” The beat dropped again. Jay started rapping exactly the way he had on that first terrible video. Awkward. Uncomfortable. Completely unpredictable. The crowd exploded. His opponent couldn't follow him. Every time Jay went off-beat, the DJ adapted. Every mistake became part of the performance. When Jay finished, the arena was screaming. He hadn't won because he became a better rapper. He won because nobody else could rap like Jay. The next morning, Jay woke up to 40 million views. Kane V called him. “You finally figured it out.” “Figured what out?” Kane laughed. “You were never supposed to become a good rapper.” Jay looked at the mountain of awards sitting beside his bed. “So what was I supposed to become?” Kane paused. “Famous.” Jay smiled. Then his phone buzzed. A message from Hollywood. They wanted Jay to star in a movie about his life. The title? THE WORST RAPPER ALIVE. Jay stared at it. “Fuck.” For the first time in his life, he had a problem. He couldn't act either.

Eighty years old, Middle Stage Golden Core!" Outside of the simulation, Zhou Qing was in a great mood. "No, that is not right. In reality, I am only seventeen years old. I should be at the Middle Stage Golden Core at seventeen years old!" "Since the Recent Antiquity Era, are there any Cultivators whose starting point is higher than mine?" Zhou Qing thought about it. Among Yao Beasts, for instance, those with True Spirit Bloodline possessed powerful Bloodlines and were favored by the heavens and earth. Perhaps they were already at the second stage right after birth and then stepped into the third stage within a short period of time. There was indeed hope for them to surpass Zhou Qing at the starting line. But what about human Cultivators? Unless it was the legendary Innate Dao Fetus. Otherwise, what could they use to compare with Zhou Qing?

Chapter 4 — They Found Her Name One day, one of my friends decided to check my Facebook account to see whether she was actually my friend. Around the same time, I found her TikTok account. I showed it to my cousin. He suddenly grabbed the phone from my hand. He read her name. They knew. The secret was gone. And there was still almost half of the vacation left. From that day onward, they started teasing me using her actual name. I told them to stop. They didn't. The entire rest of the vacation passed with them teasing me about her. Eventually, my cousin returned to his school. I thought the teasing would finally stop. It didn't. Every Friday, I visited my hometown, and my friends there continued saying her name in front of me. I became genuinely annoyed. But I kept thinking that eventually they would get bored and forget about her. Days became weeks. Weeks became months. They never forgot. The entire year passed like that.
TITLE: WHEN DREAMS FADE Japanese Title: 「夢が消える時」 Genre: Romance, Supernatural, Drama, Mystery, Psychological, Tragedy STORY OVERVIEW: "When Dreams Fade" is a psychological supernatural romance about two young people who meet by chance on social media and slowly discover that their connection transcends reality itself. The story follows IZUMI KAWAZAI, a quiet and somewhat lonely young Japanese man who spends most of his nights scrolling through social media. One night, he notices a post made by a mysterious girl named TSUKI AMAMI. Izumi leaves a sarcastic comment without expecting anything. A few minutes later, Tsuki replies: "Your comment is stupid." Izumi smiles and answers: "And you replied to it, so I guess we're even." A simple conversation begins. One message becomes another. Short conversations become hours of talking. Over time, Izumi and Tsuki become inseparable despite living thousands of kilometers apart. They share photographs, memories, childhood stories, fears, dreams and secrets. Neither of them realizes that the word "dream" will eventually become the most dangerous word in their relationship. One night, Izumi falls asleep. When he opens his eyes, he is standing inside an impossible city. The sky is dark violet. A gigantic purple moon hangs above empty buildings. The streets are covered with shallow water reflecting the sky. Enormous clocks float above the city, but their hands move backwards. There are no people. No sunlight. No end. Then Izumi hears footsteps. He turns around. A girl is standing in the distance. Long dark hair moves with the wind. He recognizes her immediately. "Tsuki?" The girl raises her head in shock. "Izumi?" Both wake up in their separate bedrooms. The following morning, Izumi sends Tsuki a message: "Did you have a strange dream last night?" After a long pause, Tsuki replies: "A city under a purple moon?" From that night onward, every time they fall asleep, they enter the same mysterious dream world. They name it NØX. NØX is not an ordinary dream. It is an endless supernatural world created from dreams, memories, emotions and lost souls. The environment changes constantly. Entire cities appear based on forgotten memories. Oceans float in the sky. Rain falls upward. Buildings disappear overnight. Time does not move normally. Inside NØX, the distance separating Izumi and Tsuki in reality no longer exists. They explore the impossible world together. They walk through empty streets. They sit on rooftops beneath the enormous purple moon. They visit places created from their childhood memories. They walk through rain without becoming wet. Their friendship slowly becomes love. One night, Izumi gently holds Tsuki's hand for the first time. In reality, thousands of kilometers separate them. But inside NØX, there is no distance. Tsuki eventually tells Izumi: "Sometimes I feel like this place is more real than our actual lives." Izumi answers: "Maybe because we're here together." However, after several months, NØX begins changing. Cracks appear in the sky. Buildings disappear. Dark shadows begin moving through empty streets. Then Izumi and Tsuki encounter a mysterious man. He is tall and wears a long black coat. But he has no face. Where his face should be, there is only endless darkness. He introduces himself as THE GUARDIAN. The Guardian tells them: "You were never supposed to meet." He explains that Izumi and Tsuki are breaking an ancient law. Two souls from different worlds cannot remain connected inside NØX for too long. Every night they spend together makes returning to reality more difficult. At first, they refuse to believe him. But strange things begin happening in reality. Izumi starts sleeping for extremely long periods. Sometimes he wakes up without remembering where he is. Tsuki begins losing memories. First she forgets small things. Then important moments. Eventually she loses an entire day from her life. They confront the Guardian again. He finally reveals the truth. NØX is a world between reality and dreams. It is created from dreams, memories and souls that never found their way back. Every soul that enters NØX is supposed to return to its original world. But Izumi and Tsuki have created something extremely rare. Their souls have become connected. A SOUL BOND. Their connection is so powerful that even when they try to avoid each other, they continue being pulled back into NØX. They decide to stop meeting. They stop messaging. They try sleeping at different times. They attempt to forget each other. But after several days, Izumi falls asleep and wakes up inside NØX. Tsuki is already there. She is crying. "Why are you here?" she asks. Izumi quietly answers: "I was about to ask you the same thing." Tsuki whispers: "I tried to escape." Izumi says: "Me too." She looks at him. "Even when I don't want to see you... my world brings me back to you." Suddenly, enormous glowing words appear in the sky: SOUL BOND The Guardian returns and reveals the cruel truth. Their souls are now connected between reality and the dream world. But the connection is unstable. The stronger their love becomes, the more NØX begins collapsing. They are given two choices. FIRST CHOICE: Break the Soul Bond. Both Izumi and Tsuki will return to normal life. But every memory of each other will disappear forever. They will become strangers again. SECOND CHOICE: Continue their relationship. But eventually, one of their souls will become permanently trapped inside NØX. Izumi refuses both choices. He says: "We will find a third way." The Guardian replies: "Every lover believes they can change the laws of the world." Time passes. Izumi and Tsuki decide that they can no longer allow distance to control their relationship. They decide to meet in reality for the first time. They choose a location. They choose a date. They count the days. Izumi packs his bag. Tsuki prepares for the meeting. For the first time, their impossible dream is about to become reality. But the night before their meeting, Izumi falls asleep. He wakes inside NØX. Something is wrong. The entire dream world is dying. Buildings collapse. The ocean rises into the sky. The streets split apart. The enormous purple moon breaks into two pieces. The Guardian is waiting. He says: "The time has come." Izumi refuses to abandon Tsuki. Then Tsuki suddenly appears. The Guardian explains: "You tried to make the dream become reality." He pauses. "And now someone must pay the price." A single glowing portal appears. The Guardian explains that only one person can return to reality. One soul must remain inside NØX forever. Izumi and Tsuki desperately search for another solution. But there is none. While Tsuki searches for a way to save them both, Izumi quietly approaches the Guardian. He asks: "If one person stays here... will the other survive?" The Guardian remains silent. Then answers: "Yes." Izumi understands. He looks at Tsuki. He remembers everything. Their first message. Their first conversation. The first night inside NØX. Their first time holding hands. Every moment beneath the purple moon. He realizes what he must do. The world continues collapsing. The portal begins closing. Tsuki grabs Izumi's hand. "I'm not going without you." Izumi smiles peacefully. "Tsuki..." "What?" "Were you happy with me?" Tsuki begins crying. "What kind of question is that? Of course I was happy." Izumi looks at her for a long moment. "Then that's enough." Tsuki suddenly realizes his intention. "No... Izumi, don't do this." His fingers slowly begin slipping from her hand. She desperately holds him. "I won't let you go!" Izumi looks at the collapsing world. Then back at Tsuki. He says: "I was always afraid that our relationship was just a dream." He gently touches her face. "But then I realized something." Tsuki asks through tears: "What?" Izumi smiles. "Even if it was a dream... you were the most beautiful thing that ever happened inside it." Izumi pushes Tsuki toward the portal. She screams his name. "IZUMI!" The portal closes. NØX disappears into darkness. Tsuki wakes up inside her bedroom. Morning sunlight enters through the window. Everything appears normal. She immediately searches for Izumi on her phone. Nothing. No messages. No photographs. No social media account. No trace of his existence. It is as if Izumi Kawazai never existed. Years pass. Tsuki continues living her life. But she constantly feels that something is missing. Someone important. Someone her mind cannot remember. But her heart refuses to forget. Many years later, Tsuki falls asleep. When she opens her eyes, she is standing inside NØX once again. The city is peaceful. The purple moon is whole again. She walks through the silent streets. Then she hears a voice behind her. "You took your time." Tsuki freezes. She slowly turns around. A young man is sitting on a distant wall. His face is hidden in the moonlight. Tsuki approaches him. "Do I know you?" The young man looks toward the purple moon. He smiles sadly. "No..." He pauses. "But I never forgot you." Tears begin falling from Tsuki's eyes without knowing why. She places her hand over her heart. "Why does my heart feel like it knows you?" The young man finally turns toward her. It is Izumi. He smiles. He says: "Because some souls don't need memories to remember who they love." FINAL SCENE: Izumi and Tsuki stand together beneath the enormous purple moon. The silent city reflects across the water. Their hands slowly reach toward each other. The story ends with the words: WHEN DREAMS FADE Some goodbyes are forever. Some souls aren't. THE END.

Primer Arco — Escena 1: Las huellas La publicación llevaba tres días enterrada en el foro. Había aparecido de madrugada, subida por una cuenta sin nombre, sin foto y sin historial. Seis fotografías. Nada más. En cinco de ellas apenas podía distinguirse algo entre los árboles. En la sexta, una figura parecía estar de pie a varios metros de la cámara. Parecía humana. Ese era precisamente el problema. —No puede ser una persona —murmuró. Amplió la imagen otra vez. Los píxeles se deshacían antes de que pudiera distinguir el rostro. El autor había escrito una sola frase: «En esa zona pasan cosas.» Debajo había cientos de comentarios. Montaje. IA. Animal. Persona disfrazada. Campaña publicitaria. Alguien incluso había señalado que las fotografías probablemente pertenecían a una película independiente. Él había pensado lo mismo. Hasta que encontró dos publicaciones antiguas con fotografías tomadas desde lugares distintos. Misma zona. Misma silueta. Años diferentes. Eso era lo que lo había llevado hasta allí. Ahora estaba frente a una barrera metálica oxidada, con un cartel oficial que indicaba que el acceso estaba prohibido. Más allá comenzaba la zona clausurada. Miró hacia la carretera. Nada. Ni vehículos oficiales. Ni guardias. Ni cámaras visibles. Había revisado los mapas antes de venir. Sabía que la zona era enorme y que la vigilancia no cubría cada metro del perímetro. Aun así, entrar seguía siendo una mala idea. Saltó la barrera. El silencio del otro lado era extraño. No sobrenatural. Solo demasiado profundo. Avanzó unos minutos siguiendo la referencia aproximada de las fotografías. Entonces las vio. Huellas. Se agachó. No eran antiguas. La tierra todavía conservaba los bordes definidos. Alguien había pasado por allí hacía poco. Él levantó la mirada. Miró alrededor. —¿En serio? Sacó el teléfono. Tomó una fotografía. Después otra. Se quedó unos segundos observando las huellas. Había ido hasta allí buscando una explicación. Ahora tenía una pregunta mucho peor. ¿Quién más estaba dentro de la zona clausurada? Guardó el teléfono. Y siguió las huellas.
CHAPTER 1 THE BOY ON THE STAGE Tripura University. M.Sc. Geography & Disaster Management. A freshers' celebration. Music. Laughter. People everywhere. And then... He walked onto the stage. A senior. She didn't know him. They had never spoken. But she noticed him. He danced. And from somewhere in the audience, she watched him. Quietly. From far away. She found him attractive. There was something about him that caught her attention. She didn't know what it was. She couldn't have explained it. She only knew that she liked looking at him. But she never imagined that one day... she would fall for this boy. At that time, he was simply... the boy on the stage. --- CHAPTER 2 A YEAR OF ALMOST Days passed. Then months. They remained in the same university. Sometimes their paths crossed. Once. Twice. Maybe once in a month. A corridor. A road. A random moment on campus. They would pass each other. And nothing would happen. No conversation. No friendship. No story. Just two people crossing paths. Again. And again. And again. She noticed him. But he didn't really know her. For almost a year, he remained someone she admired from a distance. Until his farewell came. And suddenly... everything changed. --- CHAPTER 3 THE SECRET One of her friends knew about her crush. And one day, completely out of nowhere... that secret reached one of his friends. On his farewell night, his friend told him: “One of the juniors likes you.” And apparently... he found that interesting. The next day, he spoke to her classmates. “You never told me that one of your classmates has a crush on me.” And then... her phone received a notification. Facebook — Friend Request From him. The senior. The boy from the stage. The boy she had been noticing for almost a year. She accepted. And suddenly... the person she had only watched from a distance... was talking to her. --- CHAPTER 4 I OBSERVED YOU They started talking. Then they talked some more. And somehow, the conversations kept growing. What had been silence for almost a year... became conversations neither of them wanted to end. And somewhere in those conversations, she said: “I have observed you so many times.” ... Silence. Maybe that wasn't exactly the sentence she intended. But it was too late. She had said it. 😂 And somehow, that awkward sentence became one of the first little memories of them. Then came... the video call. --- CHAPTER 5 THE VIDEO CALL Her friends called her. Video call. She looked at the phone. Something felt suspicious. And she was wearing a face mask. Absolutely not. She rejected the call. “Something is fishy.” But they called again. Eventually, she answered. Meanwhile... he had disappeared into the canteen kitchen. And started chopping something. Anything. Just to avoid being directly in front of the camera. Chop. Chop. Chop. But his friends weren't going to let him escape. Jimmy. Sumrat. Tania. They turned the camera. And suddenly... there he was. The boy from the stage. This time, he wasn't dancing. He was looking at her. And for the first time... they actually spoke face-to-face. --- Then he asked her: “Will you go out with me?” She didn't hesitate. She simply said: “Yeah.” “I'll be free day after tomorrow.” And just like that... their first meeting was planned. --- CHAPTER 6 THE FIRST MEETING The day came. She got ready. Really got ready. She wanted to look good. She brought confidence. And a little nervousness. She went to meet him. And finally... they were together. Not through a screen. Not from across a university campus. Not through stories told by friends. Together. They went to the lake. And sat there. And talked. And talked. And talked. The conversation just kept going. There was always something else to say. Something else to ask. Something else to share. They laughed. They listened. They stayed. And somewhere beside that lake... something began. Something deeper than a crush. --- CHAPTER 7 GO WITH THE FLOW They met again. And again. And again. They spent more time together. Slowly... an emotional connection began growing. Her friends noticed. “Tum zyada fast ho rahi ho.” “Go with the flow.” “Slowly jao.” “Pata nahi door jaake kaisa rahega.” Maybe they were right. She didn't know what the future held either. But deep down... she didn't want to slow down. She didn't know where this would go. She just knew one thing: She was happy. She was becoming happier. And she wanted to stay beside him. So she thought... “Jo hona hai hone do.” --- CHAPTER 8 THE LITTLE THINGS He came shopping with her. He helped her fix her phone. He came along. He made time. He put in effort. And she didn't have to constantly ask. He simply wanted to be there. And those little things mattered. Because love isn't always grand gestures. Sometimes love is simply: “I'll come with you.” “I'll help you.” “I'm here.” He kept showing up. --- But he was careful with her heart. He didn't make promises he wasn't sure about. He didn't give her dreams just because she wanted to hear them. He took his time. He wanted to know what he truly felt. Until he was sure... he wouldn't give her false assurance. For him, certainty mattered. For her... waiting was difficult. She already knew what she wanted. She wanted him. She wanted an answer. And she desperately hoped that answer would be yes. --- CHAPTER 9 BEFORE WE LEFT His university days were coming to an end. Soon... he would leave. Before that happened, they met. They talked about the future. About life. About marriage. He told her that marriage was never really something he wanted. He didn't believe in all those worldly expectations. He imagined another kind of life. A quieter life. Far away from everything. Maybe somewhere near the ghats of Banaras. He didn't want all those complications. She listened. And then... she said something that surprised even herself. “Kabhi tumhara mind change ho...” “Kabhi tumhe shaadi ka mann ho...” She looked at him. “Toh mere paas aana.” A pause. “Ek baar mujhse pooch lena.” And then: “Main hoon.” Another pause. “Main tumhare liye wait karungi.” She didn't know where that courage came from. But she meant every word. --- CHAPTER 10 TWO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS Then they left. He went to Nagaland. She went to Jaipur. Two places. Two journeys. One feeling. Distance suddenly became real. And distance did something neither of them expected. It made them crave each other. More. And more. And more. She already knew how much she wanted him. But somewhere in Nagaland... he began realizing something too. Maybe you don't always understand someone's place in your life while they're standing right beside you. Sometimes... you understand it when they're far away. --- CHAPTER 11 SHE'S THE ONE He thought about her. He missed her. He remembered their time together. The conversations. The lake. The little things. Her presence. And somewhere in all that distance... something became clear. She wasn't just someone he enjoyed being around. She wasn't just a crush. She wasn't just a person he was exploring a relationship with. She was the person he wanted. She was the one. And for the first time... he knew. --- CHAPTER 12 I LOVE YOU Eventually, they came back. She returned from Jaipur. He returned from Nagaland. And she only wanted one thing. To see him. She wanted to meet him. She wanted a long hug. She had missed him too much. She went to university looking for him. But... he wasn't there. He was sleeping. 😂 She finished her class. Then went to find him herself. And finally... they met. The distance disappeared. --- They spent their days together. Talking. Laughing. Walking. Eating. Being close. The days passed far too quickly. And then... it was almost time for him to leave again. But somewhere during that distance... he had found his answer. And finally... he said the words. “I love you.” For the first time. He told her: “I love you.” And maybe those three words carried everything he had taken so long to understand. She had already known what her heart wanted. But hearing him say it... was different. Because sometimes... your heart knows the answer long before the other person is ready to say it. --- CHAPTER 13 I LOVE YOU MORE Then came the moment neither of them wanted. It was time for him to leave. They were sitting at the airport. Waiting for his flight. Neither wanted the moment to come. And while they waited... she finally said what was inside her heart. “I love you more.” A simple sentence. But it carried everything. The waiting. The uncertainty. The longing. The happiness. The fear of losing time together. And the certainty that she loved him. She did. Completely. --- CHAPTER 14 LONG DISTANCE And then... they were apart again. He was at home. She was in Tripura. She was continuing her studies. He was living his life. And yet... they were together. For more than a month. Almost two months. Long distance. But somehow... that period became one of the most beautiful phases of their relationship. They craved each other. Constantly. The distance made every conversation feel more precious. Every call. Every message. Every little moment. They missed each other so intensely... that even today, remembering that time gives her goosebumps. --- CHAPTER 15 THE FIELD TRIP Even when she was in Tripura University... life continued. There was a field trip. She went. But she couldn't give him the time she wanted to. And something unexpected happened. He cried. He genuinely cried... because he wanted her time. Because he missed her. Because he wanted to be close to her. She had never expected that. She had never imagined that someone could crave her presence that much. --- CHAPTER 16 SEPTEMBER Then September came. He came back. They met. And finally... they could be together again. They spent almost a week together. A week of being close. A week of getting back what distance had taken away. But then... an emergency happened. He had to go home earlier than expected. And once again... distance. --- CHAPTER 17 NINE MONTHS This time... the distance lasted almost nine months. Nine. Long. Months. They missed each other. They fought for time. Sometimes they couldn't give each other enough of it. Sometimes they fought because they simply wanted more. Sometimes they cried. He cried. She cried. They were two people who loved each other... but couldn't always have the one thing they wanted most: time together. And during all of this... he was fighting his own battles. His family. His mother's health. Responsibilities. Things she couldn't always fix for him. Things he had to face himself. So while they were fighting to stay connected... he was also fighting another battle entirely. And somehow... they stayed. --- CHAPTER 18 MEGHALAYA Eventually... her M.Sc. came to an end. University was over. And finally... they planned something. Their first trip. Just the two of them. Meghalaya. --- The weather was cold. The room was cozy. The place was new. Everything felt new. They explored together. They rode a scooter in the rain. They got wet. They ate their favourite food. They laughed. They wandered. And sometimes... they didn't want to go outside at all. So they stayed in the room. Cuddled. Talked. Held each other. Loved each other. --- For nine months... there had been so much they couldn't have. So many hugs. So many conversations. So many ordinary moments. So much time. And in Meghalaya... they finally got some of it back. They filled those days with love. With closeness. With everything they had been missing. --- CHAPTER 19 THE GOODBYE Then came the return. And something about this goodbye was different. She cried. A lot. Perhaps for the first time... she was crying because she was going far away from someone she knew she couldn't imagine living without. She realized something. She didn't want him to face his difficult moments alone. She didn't want to be far away if something happened. She didn't want him to struggle... without her being there. And somewhere inside her... a decision began forming. --- CHAPTER 20 TRIPURA TO CHENNAI Her next step was her career. M.Tech. Madras University. She came to Chennai for her entrance examination. She came with Sumrat. And somehow... he came too. He was working as a school teacher at that time. But he came. He came to guide her. To help her. To meet her. For her. And luckily... she got in. So she went home. Packed everything. And made a huge decision. She left Tripura. She came to Chennai. Not because it was easy. Not because everything was certain. But because she wanted to be a little closer to him. At that time... he was living in Hyderabad. Nine hours away. Still far. But somehow... closer than before. --- CHAPTER 21 YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS ALONE She arrived in Chennai. And almost immediately... reality hit. The struggle. The adjustment. A new place. A new life. A new course. Everything at once. She was struggling. And he couldn't simply watch her struggle from far away. He had his own career. His own life. His own responsibilities. But still... he came. And then he made another enormous decision. He left his job. For her. He came to Chennai. And he joined a course so that he could study alongside her. Not because life was suddenly easy. Not because everything had been solved. But because... when she was struggling... he didn't want to watch from a distance. He wanted to be there. --- CHAPTER 22 TRIPURA → CHENNAI And that's how far the story has brought them. From Tripura University... to a stage at Freshers. From a distant crush... to a Facebook friend request. From: “I have observed you so many times.” to: “I love you.” From a lake... to an airport. From Nagaland and Jaipur... to months of long distance. From nine months of missing each other... to Meghalaya rain. From saying: “Main tumhare liye wait karungi.” to actually choosing each other... again and again. From Tripura... to Chennai. And the story isn't perfect. They've had beautiful days. They've had difficult days. They've gained things. They've lost important things. They've fought. They've cried. They've struggled. They've had to figure things out. But through all of it... they are still here. Together. --- EPILOGUE THIS ISN'T THE END Maybe love isn't about having a perfect story. Maybe it's about having someone beside you while the story is still being written. Someone who stays through the good. Someone who stays through the bad. Someone who chooses you... even when life isn't easy. And after everything... she still knows one thing. She loves him. She loved him when he was just a senior dancing on a stage. She loved him when he was a distant crush. She loved him when she was waiting for his answer. She loved him when he was far away. She loved him through nine months of distance. She loved him in Meghalaya. She loved him enough to cross from Tripura to Chennai. And she still loves him now. And perhaps the most beautiful part is... she doesn't want this story to end. Because this isn't a story with a final chapter. It's a story that keeps moving. Every year. Every birthday. Every journey. Every difficult day. Every beautiful day. Every new place. Every new memory. Every version of them. --- So, Babaji... If someone asked me where our story ends... I wouldn't know what to say. Because I don't think it ends here. I think this is just another chapter. And tomorrow... we'll write another one. And the day after that... another. And every year... we'll keep adding pages. Because once upon a time... a girl saw a boy dancing on a stage. She didn't know him. She didn't know his story. She didn't know that he would become her person. She only knew... she couldn't stop looking at him. And somehow... after all the distance, all the waiting, all the tears, all the journeys, all the goodbyes, all the reunions, all the love... she is still looking at him. Only now... he's looking back. THE STORY CONTINUES... ❤️ EVER AFTER IS NOT THE END. IT'S THE NEXT CHAPTER.

# CAPÍTULO 1 — “QUEM É ESSE CARA?” ## DIREÇÃO GERAL Mangá seinen de thriller psicológico com romance. **Preto e branco absoluto**, sem cores. Traço detalhado, realista, cinematográfico, com hachuras, sombras profundas, expressões faciais naturais e cenários urbanos bem trabalhados. A história deve começar como um romance cotidiano e agradável. O comportamento de Ren ainda deve parecer normal. O suspense aparece principalmente através da narração e de pequenos detalhes. ### REN KURODA Homem jovem adulto, atraente, físico minimamente atlético, acima da média.

# The Beginning ## Genre School, Slice of Life, Romance, Comedy, Coming of Age ## Setting A modern school in Nepal. The story begins when the main character joins a new school and continues through Grade 10. ## Main Character A quiet student who doesn't talk to many people. He is somewhat shy and tends to overthink things, especially when it comes to the girl he likes. ## The Girl A quiet and kind girl from his class. She is beautiful, doesn't talk to many people, and has an interest in drawing. --- # Chapter 1 — A New School I was a quiet student who only talked to a few people. When I joined a new school, I expected to see nothing but unfamiliar faces. I thought I would have to spend the year making completely new friends. But I was wrong. Among the students was my old best friend, who had moved to Pokhara two years earlier. I also found a few of my old friends there. So, instead of being completely alone, I already had people I knew. The entire year passed normally. Classes. Friends. School days. Nothing particularly special happened. Except for one girl. She was quiet and rarely talked to many people. She was also beautiful. At first, she was simply another beautiful girl in my class. I didn't know that she would eventually become someone very important to me. --- # Chapter 2 — The Artist and Satapdi Ghar One day, a popular artist visited our school. He announced that students who were interested in drawing could visit a place called Satapdi Ghar, a more than 100-year-old historic house. The girl and her best friend decided to go. I didn't. I wasn't very good at drawing, so I didn't think I had any reason to go. But later, I found out that she actually liked drawing. For some reason, that made me want to know more about her. I eventually decided to send her a friend request on Facebook. Then I waited. After a few days, she accepted it. That small notification made me happy, even though I tried not to think too much about it. Everything continued normally after that. --- # Chapter 3 — Truth or Dare My first terminal examination ended, and I went to my hometown for vacation. One day, while playing a game with my friends, one of them suggested a new rule. Anyone who lost would have to complete a dare. Everyone agreed. I lost the first match. Luckily, the first dare was simple, so I completed it easily. After a few more rounds, I lost again. This time, my cousin looked at me and asked: "Truth or dare?" I chose truth. He asked me if I liked someone. My genuine answer was yes. Then another person asked me: "Truth or dare?" This time, I became nervous. I was afraid they might ask me who the girl was. So I chose dare. The dare was simple: "Show us her picture." She was already on my Facebook friends list. I opened her profile, hid her name, and showed them her picture. Everyone laughed and started teasing me. At first, I didn't mind. Almost everyone had a crush on someone anyway. But my cousin didn't have one, and he started teasing me more than everyone else. Then the other two joined him. Soon, all three of them were teasing me. And somehow, I made things worse. I started showing them her pictures almost every day, joking around as if she were already my girlfriend. --- # Chapter 4 — They Found Her Name One day, one of my friends decided to check my Facebook account to see whether she was actually my friend. Around the same time, I found her TikTok account. I showed it to my cousin. He suddenly grabbed the phone from my hand. He read her name. They knew. The secret was gone. And there was still almost half of the vacation left. From that day onward, they started teasing me using her actual name. I told them to stop. They didn't. The entire rest of the vacation passed with them teasing me about her. Eventually, my cousin returned to his school. I thought the teasing would finally stop. It didn't. Every Friday, I visited my hometown, and my friends there continued saying her name in front of me. I became genuinely annoyed. But I kept thinking that eventually they would get bored and forget about her. Days became weeks. Weeks became months. They never forgot. The entire year passed like that. --- # Chapter 5 — Grade 10 Grade 10 began normally. But this time, I decided to do something I had been too nervous to do before. I messaged her. I opened Facebook Messenger. I typed: "hello" She replied: "hi" It was only two words. But I was extremely nervous. The next day at school, I was scared that she might react differently after our conversation. But she didn't. She acted completely normal. After that, I started noticing her more. She was kind. She was quiet. She didn't talk to many people. And I found myself becoming more interested in her. --- # Chapter 6 — The Drawing It was around the end of Baisakh. I remembered that she liked drawing. So I decided to draw her. I wasn't a very good artist. I tried making a proper sketch of her. When I finished, I looked at it. It was terrible. I couldn't help laughing at myself. But I didn't give up. Instead, I tried making a simple outline drawing. Somehow, it actually looked like her. I was surprised that I had managed to make something recognizable. Now there was only one problem. I had to send it to her. I stared at the drawing for a while. I thought about sending it. Then I became nervous. I waited for a few hours, thinking about what I should do. Finally, I opened Messenger. I typed: "Do you like drawing?" I sent the message. A few moments later, she replied: "yup!" I stared at the message. It was a tiny conversation. But to me, it felt like the beginning of something.

妖精の王たちはある日、地球人の文化を発見するために地球にやってきた。そこで彼らは宗教からキリスト教、スポーツまで、さまざまなことを知った。王はサッカーに夢中になり、その動きからファンの興奮した叫び声まで、すべてを妖精の王国に持ち帰り、自分たちの生活に取り入れることにした。 彼の王国では、地に足の着いた宗教が人々に良い教えを与え、神の重要性を示した。そして、若い妖精たちを教えるために、サッカーまでもが導入された。王は「妖精の王杯」と呼ばれるサッカー大会を創設した。 妖精王国でサッカーは大人気となり、多くの若者がサッカー選手になることを夢見ていた。妖精王国で最高の選手はエルフトロンで、多くの若者はエルフトロンのようになり、サッカー選手になることを夢見ていた。 私もその一人で、子供の頃からサッカーを追いかけ、エルフトロンの大ファンだ。彼の美しいプレーを見るのが大好きで、いつか彼のようにプレーし、妖精王国で最高の選手になりたいと思っている。そしていつか、妖精の国で一番大きなリーグ、「妖精王リーグ」でプレーするのが夢だ。 ジュニアサッカーは「ジュニア妖精リーグ」と呼ばれており、僕の目標はチームに入ることだ。最も有名なジュニアチームはキングスで、王族で構成されたチームだ。このチームに入るには、たくさんの技術を持ち、誰よりも上手でなければならない。僕はチームのトライアルに参加することに決めた。僕の名前はピーター・パン。夢を叶えるんだ。 たくさんのトレーニングの後、私はトライアルに参加した。みんなが僕を見つめていた。そんな目で。夢を叶えることに興奮していたのに、なぜそんな目で見られるのか分からなかった。 そしてテストが始まると、みんな僕のプレーを気に入ってくれた。僕には多くの技術があり、ゴールを決める攻撃的ミッドフィルダーだと言われた。 攻撃的ミッドフィルダーは、守備的ミッドフィルダーとは異なり、相手のディフェンスに仕掛けていく。一般的な特徴は、パス、ボールハンドリング、ドリブル能力、そして場合によっては遠距離からのシュートを得意とすることだ。妖精の国の有名な攻撃的ミッドフィルダーには、スルタン、アーサー、その他大勢いる。 だから私は自分の技術を披露し、自分のパフォーマンスに満足した。彼らは気に入ってくれた。しかし、彼らが気に入ってくれたとはいえ、チームに入る選手が発表されると、現実は違った。 私は選ばれなかった。 「何があったんだろう？何か悪いことをしたのだろうか？私は選ばれなかった！」 父に理由を尋ねると、父はこう答えた。「息子よ、お前が選ばれなかったのは貧しいからだ！」 僕はショックを受け、悲しかった。王国で最高のジュニアチームが、貧しい人々を受け入れていないことを知ったのだ。王国は貧しい人を受け入れない。 私は不思議に思った。「イエス・キリストは私たちに『すべての人を愛しなさい、彼は貧しい人と謙虚な人を愛している』と教えてくださった。妖精の王はいつもイエスの教えのように、私たちが互いに愛し合うためにと教えている。イエス・キリストはまた、みんなが楽しくプレーできるようにフットボールを作られた。なぜこのチームは貧しい人を愛さないのだろう？」 私は悲しい気持ちになり、家に到着すると自分の部屋に行った。 僕の部屋で、嬉しそうな母が尋ねた。「息子はどうだった？うまくいった？」 私はとても悲しくなり、彼女の横を通り過ぎて自分の部屋に向かった。悲しそうに、母は何があったのかと尋ね、父が答えた。すると母は、私がなぜ悲しんでいるのかに気づき、階下に行って元気になるように言った。「私は下に行って、元気にならないといけないわ」 その後、母は私にお風呂に入るように言った。私は母に、なぜ生きとし生けるものはあんななのか、イエスは愛することを教えていないのかと尋ねた。 彼女は答えた。「息子は王様が言ったことを覚えている？イエスの話を覚えている？キリスト教には自由意志があるの。私たちの主イエス・キリストの呼びかけに耳を傾ける人もいれば、多くの金持ちは愛よりも権力を好むのよ。私たちは決して愛をやめないわ。」 「そうだね、ママ。」 そして、ママは私に、決して気を落とすなと言った。正しい時が来るから。そして、妖精王がみんなのためにサッカーを作ったことを忘れないで。貧富の差に関係なく、サッカーはすべての人の喜びであることを示したんだ。「サッカーはみんなの喜びなんだよ。」 私はママの話を聞いてとても興奮した。シャワーを浴びて、ご飯を食べてから寝た。そしてミサに行った。 家に帰ると、家の前に男が立っていた。「あの人は誰？」ママが聞いた。 父は答えた。「知らないよ！」父は私たちを守りながら、ゆっくりと近づくように言った。私たちが近づくと、父は尋ねた。「お前は誰だ？そして、家の前で何をしているんだ？」 男は答えた。「ついに来たか。待っていたよ。私の名前はアリババです。」 父は、なぜアリババが私たちを待っているのかと尋ねた。彼は言った。「パンに何の用だ？」 怯えた父は尋ねた。「彼は悪いことをするつもりはない」と言って、彼は言った。「試験当日に彼がいたことは覚えていない、と？」 父は思い出して「はい」と答えると、アリババはこう答えた。「私はサッカーチームのスカウトをしています。あなたの息子さんの素晴らしい才能を見ました。それで、息子さんが私のチームに入らないか、あなたと息子さんにお願いに来ました。私のフットボールチームに入らないか？フットボールチーム？」 父は尋ねた。「あなたのフットボールチーム？」 彼はそうだと言った。自分のチームは新しいチームだ。彼らを、そしてチームを、おとぎの国で最高のジュニアチームにしたいんだ。そして、王たちをも凌駕する。そして、この選手たちを妖精の国から見て、いつの日か偉大な妖精王トーナメントに出場させたいんだ。それを受け入れてくれるか、と。 父は食事中だったので、断るつもりだったが、アリババがそう言ったとき、私はとても興奮した。父はまだ怖がっていたので、アリババは私たちを連れて行ってくれた。そして、アリババは彼のチームのすべての若い才能を私たちに見せてくれた。 私がそこにいたとき、アラディンと呼ばれるチームの選手の一人が、私に近づいてきて尋ねた。「ようこそ。君は我々のチームと呼ぶんだね。ポジションは？」 「僕はピーター・パン。まだ入るかどうかは分からない。攻撃的ミッドフィルダーだよ！」 彼は、一緒にプレーするのが待ち遠しいと言ってくれた。彼は私にとても親切にしてくれた。それからアリババがコーチを紹介してくれた。コーチ、彼女の名前はウェンディ。挨拶されたとき、とても恥ずかしかった。私は震えていた。なぜ声を荒げているのかと聞かれ、とても恥ずかしかった。「ありがとう。」 ウェンディは茶色の目をした美しい女の子だった。そこでアリババは彼女に、ピーター・パンは彼がチームに連れてきたいと思った選手だと言った。 ウェンディは尋ねた。「彼は本当に上手なの？見てみたいわ。」 すると彼女は、アラディンとの決闘を申し込んだ。彼女は私が引き受けるかどうか尋ねた。 私は興奮してイエスと答えた。 ピッチの上で、彼女は2ゴール決めた方が勝ちだと言った。それで私たちはスタートし、彼はマークされ、私は気づいた。彼はとても強く、私は彼をマークするのに苦労した。彼はセンターフォワードだった。 センターフォワードとは、サッカーにおけるポジションの一つで、攻撃ラインの中央でプレーする選手を指す。ウイングとしても知られる。役割は、チームのゴールチャンスを伺い、ロングボールを出し、後方から来る味方のためにボールを保持し、ピッチの両サイドを動き回り、最善の動きを見つけることだ。特徴は、通常、相手のエリア、つまりピッチの上級ポジションを占めることだ。ライバルゴールに最も近い位置にいるため、ゴールへのフィニッシュのチャンスが最も高い。センターフォワードが相手ディフェンスに与えるプレッシャーは、チームのパフォーマンスの基本である。 だから彼はゴールを決めたんだ。「ゴールを決めたなんて信じられない！ゴールだ！」 ちょっと怖かったけど、すぐに落ち着いた。そしてボールを拾って彼を追いかけた。彼は私からボールを奪おうとしたので、私は小さなカートでドリブルをした。 ランブレッタ（ブラジルではカレティーリャまたはチャペウ・メヒカーノ、イタリアではビチクレッタ、アメリカではレインボー、イギリスではアーディレス・フリック、スペインではアルコ・アイリス、ドイツではジェイ＝ジェイ・オコチャ、フランスではクー・デュ・ソンブレロとも呼ばれる）は、サッカーで使われるフェイントで、選手が弧を描いてボールを通す。 だから私はゴールに向かって走った。「なんて信じられないスピードなんだ！」とアラディンは言った。ウェンディは驚いた。だから私はゴールに向かって走り、同点に追いついた。アラディンが私に言った。「なんて信じられないんだ！」 そこで私たちはプレーを続け、私はボールを奪ってゴールに向かった。アラディンは僕をマークしようとした。僕は牛のドリブルを仕掛けた。 牛のドリブルとは、サッカーの技の一つで、相手の片側にボールを渡し、もう片側に走ってボールを取りに行くものだ。「彼は私に何をしたんだ？」アラディンが言った。 ボールを拾って長い距離を蹴ったんだ。ボールは反対方向、ゴールに入った。誰もが口をあんぐりと開けた。アラディンは、自分が蹴ったボールがゴール裏に入ったと言った。 トリヴェラ・キックとは、足の外側で蹴るサッカーのシュートである。繰り出すのは難しいが、非常に華麗で予測不可能なテクニックだ。どのようにラウンドハウスキックを行うのか？サポートする足をボールのやや後ろに置き、足を斜めに向ける。利き足の外側でボールを握り、足を利き足の方に上げながら、ボールを真ん中に蹴る。 だから私は勝った。ウェンディは言った。「あなたには才能があるわ。ピーター・パンには才能がある。」と彼女は言ってくれた！ 私はとても嬉しくて、アリババは父に尋ねた。「どう思う？」 父はまだ恐れていた。なぜなら、引っ越して暮らさなければならなかったからだ。私は父に言った。「父さん、僕はここにいたいんだ。怖がらないで。私は夢を実現する。だからお願い、お父さん、僕をここでプレーさせてください、お願いします。」 私の興奮を見た父は、私の母親を見た。ママは「うん」と首を横に振った。 父は答えた。「いいよ。」 アラディンと私は幸せだった。 翌週、私は荷物をまとめて、新しいジュニアクラブ「フェアリー・テイルズ」に向かった。 私は思った。「私の旅が今始まる。」 第1章終わり
妖精の王たちはある日、地球人の文化を発見するために地球にやってきた。そこで彼らは宗教からキリスト教、スポーツまで、さまざまなことを知った。王はサッカーに夢中になり、その動きからファンの興奮した叫び声まで、すべてを妖精の王国に持ち帰り、自分たちの生活に取り入れることにした。 彼の王国では、地に足の着いた宗教が人々に良い教えを与え、神の重要性を示した。そして、若い妖精たちを教えるために、サッカーまでもが導入された。王は「妖精の王杯」と呼ばれるサッカー大会を創設した。 妖精王国でサッカーは大人気となり、多くの若者がサッカー選手になることを夢見ていた。妖精王国で最高の選手はエルフトロンで、多くの若者はエルフトロンのようになり、サッカー選手になることを夢見ていた。 私もその一人で、子供の頃からサッカーを追いかけ、エルフトロンの大ファンだ。彼の美しいプレーを見るのが大好きで、いつか彼のようにプレーし、妖精王国で最高の選手になりたいと思っている。そしていつか、妖精の国で一番大きなリーグ、「妖精王リーグ」でプレーするのが夢だ。 ジュニアサッカーは「ジュニア妖精リーグ」と呼ばれており、僕の目標はチームに入ることだ。最も有名なジュニアチームはキングスで、王族で構成されたチームだ。このチームに入るには、たくさんの技術を持ち、誰よりも上手でなければならない。僕はチームのトライアルに参加することに決めた。僕の名前はピーター・パン。夢を叶えるんだ。 たくさんのトレーニングの後、私はトライアルに参加した。みんなが僕を見つめていた。そんな目で。夢を叶えることに興奮していたのに、なぜそんな目で見られるのか分からなかった。 そしてテストが始まると、みんな僕のプレーを気に入ってくれた。僕には多くの技術があり、ゴールを決める攻撃的ミッドフィルダーだと言われた。 攻撃的ミッドフィルダーは、守備的ミッドフィルダーとは異なり、相手のディフェンスに仕掛けていく。一般的な特徴は、パス、ボールハンドリング、ドリブル能力、そして場合によっては遠距離からのシュートを得意とすることだ。妖精の国の有名な攻撃的ミッドフィルダーには、スルタン、アーサー、その他大勢いる。 だから私は自分の技術を披露し、自分のパフォーマンスに満足した。彼らは気に入ってくれた。しかし、彼らが気に入ってくれたとはいえ、チームに入る選手が発表されると、現実は違った。 私は選ばれなかった。 「何があったんだろう？何か悪いことをしたのだろうか？私は選ばれなかった！」 父に理由を尋ねると、父はこう答えた。「息子よ、お前が選ばれなかったのは貧しいからだ！」 僕はショックを受け、悲しかった。王国で最高のジュニアチームが、貧しい人々を受け入れていないことを知ったのだ。王国は貧しい人を受け入れない。 私は不思議に思った。「イエス・キリストは私たちに『すべての人を愛しなさい、彼は貧しい人と謙虚な人を愛している』と教えてくださった。妖精の王はいつもイエスの教えのように、私たちが互いに愛し合うためにと教えている。イエス・キリストはまた、みんなが楽しくプレーできるようにフットボールを作られた。なぜこのチームは貧しい人を愛さないのだろう？」 私は悲しい気持ちになり、家に到着すると自分の部屋に行った。 僕の部屋で、嬉しそうな母が尋ねた。「息子はどうだった？うまくいった？」 私はとても悲しくなり、彼女の横を通り過ぎて自分の部屋に向かった。悲しそうに、母は何があったのかと尋ね、父が答えた。すると母は、私がなぜ悲しんでいるのかに気づき、階下に行って元気になるように言った。「私は下に行って、元気にならないといけないわ」 その後、母は私にお風呂に入るように言った。私は母に、なぜ生きとし生けるものはあんななのか、イエスは愛することを教えていないのかと尋ねた。 彼女は答えた。「息子は王様が言ったことを覚えている？イエスの話を覚えている？キリスト教には自由意志があるの。私たちの主イエス・キリストの呼びかけに耳を傾ける人もいれば、多くの金持ちは愛よりも権力を好むのよ。私たちは決して愛をやめないわ。」 「そうだね、ママ。」 そして、ママは私に、決して気を落とすなと言った。正しい時が来るから。そして、妖精王がみんなのためにサッカーを作ったことを忘れないで。貧富の差に関係なく、サッカーはすべての人の喜びであることを示したんだ。「サッカーはみんなの喜びなんだよ。」 私はママの話を聞いてとても興奮した。シャワーを浴びて、ご飯を食べてから寝た。そしてミサに行った。 家に帰ると、家の前に男が立っていた。「あの人は誰？」ママが聞いた。 父は答えた。「知らないよ！」父は私たちを守りながら、ゆっくりと近づくように言った。私たちが近づくと、父は尋ねた。「お前は誰だ？そして、家の前で何をしているんだ？」 男は答えた。「ついに来たか。待っていたよ。私の名前はアリババです。」 父は、なぜアリババが私たちを待っているのかと尋ねた。彼は言った。「パンに何の用だ？」 怯えた父は尋ねた。「彼は悪いことをするつもりはない」と言って、彼は言った。「試験当日に彼がいたことは覚えていない、と？」 父は思い出して「はい」と答えると、アリババはこう答えた。「私はサッカーチームのスカウトをしています。あなたの息子さんの素晴らしい才能を見ました。それで、息子さんが私のチームに入らないか、あなたと息子さんにお願いに来ました。私のフットボールチームに入らないか？フットボールチーム？」 父は尋ねた。「あなたのフットボールチーム？」 彼はそうだと言った。自分のチームは新しいチームだ。彼らを、そしてチームを、おとぎの国で最高のジュニアチームにしたいんだ。そして、王たちをも凌駕する。そして、この選手たちを妖精の国から見て、いつの日か偉大な妖精王トーナメントに出場させたいんだ。それを受け入れてくれるか、と。 父は食事中だったので、断るつもりだったが、アリババがそう言ったとき、私はとても興奮した。父はまだ怖がっていたので、アリババは私たちを連れて行ってくれた。そして、アリババは彼のチームのすべての若い才能を私たちに見せてくれた。 私がそこにいたとき、アラディンと呼ばれるチームの選手の一人が、私に近づいてきて尋ねた。「ようこそ。君は我々のチームと呼ぶんだね。ポジションは？」 「僕はピーター・パン。まだ入るかどうかは分からない。攻撃的ミッドフィルダーだよ！」 彼は、一緒にプレーするのが待ち遠しいと言ってくれた。彼は私にとても親切にしてくれた。それからアリババがコーチを紹介してくれた。コーチ、彼女の名前はウェンディ。挨拶されたとき、とても恥ずかしかった。私は震えていた。なぜ声を荒げているのかと聞かれ、とても恥ずかしかった。「ありがとう。」 ウェンディは茶色の目をした美しい女の子だった。そこでアリババは彼女に、ピーター・パンは彼がチームに連れてきたいと思った選手だと言った。 ウェンディは尋ねた。「彼は本当に上手なの？見てみたいわ。」 すると彼女は、アラディンとの決闘を申し込んだ。彼女は私が引き受けるかどうか尋ねた。 私は興奮してイエスと答えた。 ピッチの上で、彼女は2ゴール決めた方が勝ちだと言った。それで私たちはスタートし、彼はマークされ、私は気づいた。彼はとても強く、私は彼をマークするのに苦労した。彼はセンターフォワードだった。 センターフォワードとは、サッカーにおけるポジションの一つで、攻撃ラインの中央でプレーする選手を指す。ウイングとしても知られる。役割は、チームのゴールチャンスを伺い、ロングボールを出し、後方から来る味方のためにボールを保持し、ピッチの両サイドを動き回り、最善の動きを見つけることだ。特徴は、通常、相手のエリア、つまりピッチの上級ポジションを占めることだ。ライバルゴールに最も近い位置にいるため、ゴールへのフィニッシュのチャンスが最も高い。センターフォワードが相手ディフェンスに与えるプレッシャーは、チームのパフォーマンスの基本である。 だから彼はゴールを決めたんだ。「ゴールを決めたなんて信じられない！ゴールだ！」 ちょっと怖かったけど、すぐに落ち着いた。そしてボールを拾って彼を追いかけた。彼は私からボールを奪おうとしたので、私は小さなカートでドリブルをした。 ランブレッタ（ブラジルではカレティーリャまたはチャペウ・メヒカーノ、イタリアではビチクレッタ、アメリカではレインボー、イギリスではアーディレス・フリック、スペインではアルコ・アイリス、ドイツではジェイ＝ジェイ・オコチャ、フランスではクー・デュ・ソンブレロとも呼ばれる）は、サッカーで使われるフェイントで、選手が弧を描いてボールを通す。 だから私はゴールに向かって走った。「なんて信じられないスピードなんだ！」とアラディンは言った。ウェンディは驚いた。だから私はゴールに向かって走り、同点に追いついた。アラディンが私に言った。「なんて信じられないんだ！」 そこで私たちはプレーを続け、私はボールを奪ってゴールに向かった。アラディンは僕をマークしようとした。僕は牛のドリブルを仕掛けた。 牛のドリブルとは、サッカーの技の一つで、相手の片側にボールを渡し、もう片側に走ってボールを取りに行くものだ。「彼は私に何をしたんだ？」アラディンが言った。 ボールを拾って長い距離を蹴ったんだ。ボールは反対方向、ゴールに入った。誰もが口をあんぐりと開けた。アラディンは、自分が蹴ったボールがゴール裏に入ったと言った。 トリヴェラ・キックとは、足の外側で蹴るサッカーのシュートである。繰り出すのは難しいが、非常に華麗で予測不可能なテクニックだ。どのようにラウンドハウスキックを行うのか？サポートする足をボールのやや後ろに置き、足を斜めに向ける。利き足の外側でボールを握り、足を利き足の方に上げながら、ボールを真ん中に蹴る。 だから私は勝った。ウェンディは言った。「あなたには才能があるわ。ピーター・パンには才能がある。」と彼女は言ってくれた！ 私はとても嬉しくて、アリババは父に尋ねた。「どう思う？」 父はまだ恐れていた。なぜなら、引っ越して暮らさなければならなかったからだ。私は父に言った。「父さん、僕はここにいたいんだ。怖がらないで。私は夢を実現する。だからお願い、お父さん、僕をここでプレーさせてください、お願いします。」 私の興奮を見た父は、私の母親を見た。ママは「うん」と首を横に振った。 父は答えた。「いいよ。」 アラディンと私は幸せだった。 翌週、私は荷物をまとめて、新しいジュニアクラブ「フェアリー・テイルズ」に向かった。 私は思った。「私の旅が今始まる。」 第1章終わり Fazer storyboard em japonês com 15 páginas
1. 🌴 Le village de Quaouque L’histoire commence dans le village de Quaouque, un petit village où vivent plusieurs personnages importants. Le personnage principal est Mitoro, un jeune garçon qui rêve de partir à l’aventure et, un jour, de devenir pirate. Mais Mitoro n’est pas seul. Il vit notamment avec : Gourou, son meilleur ami, qui est extrêmement proche de lui et ressemble presque à son petit frère. Seaiter, une petite créature capable de se transformer. Zephinro, le frère jumeau de Mitoro. Fujimura, le chef du village, qui représente énormément pour Mitoro. Mitoro considère Fujimura presque comme son père. Il aime profondément son village et ses habitants. C’est justement ce qui va rendre son départ particulièrement difficile. 2. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Mitoro et ses compagnons Mitoro et Gourou sont extrêmement proches. Gourou est très petit : environ 80 cm. Malgré sa petite taille, il possède un caractère très fort et accompagne Mitoro dans ses aventures. Seaiter est également un compagnon important. Il possède plusieurs transformations liées à sa nature animale : une transformation singe ; une transformation mi-singe/mi-renard ; une transformation renard. Il peut notamment utiliser une transformation plus adaptée au combat. 3. ⚔️ Zephinro Zephinro est le frère jumeau de Mitoro. Il est beaucoup plus expérimenté que Mitoro dans certains domaines, notamment au combat. Il possède un sabre extrêmement puissant et rare. Il cache également un passé beaucoup plus important qu'il n'y paraît. Avant de vivre avec Mitoro et les autres, Zephinro était pirate. Il venait de la Mer du Chaos et avait déjà affronté des adversaires extrêmement puissants. 4. 🦊 L'orbe du Kitsune Un jour, Mitoro et ses compagnons trouvent un sac mystérieux devant leur cabane. À l'intérieur se trouve : une mystérieuse lettre ; une orbe. Gourou reconnaît immédiatement l'écriture. C'est la même écriture que celle de la mystérieuse lettre qu'ils avaient reçue auparavant lorsqu'ils avaient obtenu des Drakes. La lettre explique que l'orbe contient le pouvoir du Kitsune. La personne qui l'a laissée explique également qu'elle donne cette orbe en remerciement de l'avoir sauvée. La lettre est encore signée : Anonyme. Mitoro et Gourou réfléchissent. Ils pensent rapidement à une personne mystérieuse qu'ils avaient rencontrée : Tara Viora. 5. ⚠️ La règle des Orbes Mitoro demande s'ils peuvent simplement ouvrir l'orbe. Seaiter réagit immédiatement. Gourou traduit son avertissement : Une personne ne peut avoir qu'un seul pouvoir d'orbe. Si quelqu'un essaye d'en prendre une deuxième, il risque de mourir. Zephinro décide donc de construire un placard à double fond pour cacher l'orbe et la mettre en sécurité. 6. 😨 Le cauchemar de Gourou Une nuit, Gourou se réveille en pleine nuit. Il fait un terrible cauchemar. Dans son rêve, Mitoro affronte Baldor et Dragan. Le combat tourne très mal. Mitoro est dépassé et finit par mourir sous leurs attaques. Gourou est complètement paniqué. Au réveil, il ne voit plus Mitoro dans son lit. Il entend alors Mitoro crier dehors. Gourou croit immédiatement que son cauchemar est en train de devenir réalité. Il reste quelques secondes devant la porte, terrifié à l'idée de l'ouvrir. Finalement, il se décide. 7. ⚔️ Le duel Mitoro / Zephinro Gourou découvre que Mitoro ne combat pas Baldor et Dragan. Il affronte Zephinro dans un duel d'entraînement. Les deux sont relativement proches en niveau, mais Zephinro reste plus expérimenté. Mitoro finit par perdre. Il est déjà blessé, et Zephinro lui-même n'est pas complètement indemne. Mais Zephinro révèle ensuite quelque chose de très important : Il ne s'était absolument pas battu à 100 %. Pour lui, le duel était presque un échauffement. S'ils avaient été ennemis, Zephinro affirme qu'il aurait pu terminer le combat en quelques secondes. 8. 🩸 La blessure de Zephinro Zephinro retire son tee-shirt. Il révèle une énorme cicatrice de sabre sur son corps. La blessure est extrêmement impressionnante et beaucoup plus grave que celles de Mitoro. Mitoro demande immédiatement : — Qui t'a fait ça ? Zephinro répond : Louemis AZOURIS. Mitoro est complètement choqué. 9. 🏴‍☠️ Le passé de Zephinro Zephinro raconte alors une partie de son passé. Un an auparavant, il était pirate. Il voulait affronter Louemis Azouris, notamment parce qu'il voulait récupérer l'orbe du Kitsune. Zephinro voulait ensuite obtenir son propre pouvoir. Mais son combat contre Louemis Azouris tourne très mal. Zephinro est gravement blessé. Son équipage finit également par l'abandonner. Ses anciens compagnons trouvent Zephinro trop ambitieux pour vouloir affronter un adversaire aussi puissant. Zephinro finit donc par se réfugier dans la Mer des Tempêtes, qui est juste en dessous de la Mer du Chaos en termes de danger et de puissance. Il arrive finalement à Quaouque. C'est là qu'il rencontre Gourou et les autres. 10. ⚔️ Louemis Azouris Louemis Azouris est présenté comme un personnage extrêmement puissant. Il possède un équipage très important. Son équipage est composé de plusieurs commandants. Chaque commandant possède une flotte. Une flotte compte : 10 personnes + le commandant. Louemis n'est pas présenté comme un homme mauvais. Au contraire, Zephinro explique qu'il est plutôt gentil. Mais sa puissance est immense. Il est également considéré comme le plus grand sabreur. Sa prime dépasse un milliard de Drakes, même si Zephinro ne connaît pas le montant exact. 11. 🦊 La transformation de Zephinro Zephinro finit par prendre l'orbe du Kitsune. Il se transforme partiellement. Il obtient : des oreilles de renard ; trois queues ; une apparence rouge et blanche. Il peut combattre à quatre pattes. Sa vitesse augmente énormément. Même avec sa grave blessure, il devient beaucoup plus agile. Son style de combat ressemble à un combattant animal extrêmement rapide, utilisant ses griffes pour attaquer. Lorsqu'il affronte Baldor et Dragan, il les domine complètement. 12. 🌪️ Le pouvoir de Mitoro Mitoro découvre progressivement qu'il possède le pouvoir du Vent. Ce pouvoir fonctionne d'une manière particulière. Au début, l'utilisateur et son pouvoir sont comme deux choses séparées. Le pouvoir apparaît parfois sans être totalement maîtrisé. Mais lorsque l'utilisateur comprend réellement son pouvoir et s'entraîne suffisamment, il finit par fusionner avec celui-ci. L'utilisateur devient presque son élément. Mitoro atteint ainsi un niveau où les attaques physiques ordinaires peuvent traverser son corps comme si elles traversaient du vent. Cela ressemble au fonctionnement des pouvoirs de type Logia dans One Piece. 13. ⚔️ Baldor et Dragan Baldor et Dragan attaquent Mitoro. Mitoro ne bouge presque même pas. Les attaques traversent son corps. Il esquive sans difficulté. Il finit même par trouver le combat amusant. Mais Dragan réussit finalement à le surprendre en arrivant derrière lui avec son épée. Il le transperce au niveau du ventre. Gourou et Zephinro paniquent. Mais Seaiter comprend immédiatement quelque chose. Mitoro maîtrise suffisamment son pouvoir du Vent. Son corps est devenu presque identique au vent. Le sabre traverse donc son corps sans véritablement le blesser. 14. 🦊 Le combat de Zephinro contre Baldor et Dragan Zephinro décide ensuite de tester son nouveau pouvoir. Il prend sa forme Kitsune partielle. Ses trois queues apparaissent. Ses oreilles de renard aussi. Il se déplace à une vitesse impressionnante. Il tourne autour de Baldor et Dragan. Ils ne parviennent presque pas à le suivre. Zephinro attaque avec ses griffes. Il les domine complètement. Baldor et Dragan finissent inconscients. Ils sont ensuite enfermés sans leurs armes. 15. 🚢 Le problème de navigation Après le combat, Mitoro et les autres prennent la mer. Mais ils réalisent rapidement un problème : Ils ne savent pas vraiment naviguer. Ils possèdent pourtant : une carte ; une boussole. Mais personne ne sait correctement les utiliser. Zephinro avait pensé qu'il pourrait les aider puisqu'il était ancien pirate. Mais il ne savait pas non plus qu'une navigatrice allait rejoindre leur groupe. 16. 🧭 Tara Viora Une voix féminine apparaît derrière eux. C'est Tara Viora. Elle explique qu'elle sait naviguer. Elle connaît très bien les cartes. Elle leur explique également que l'île où se trouvent les meilleurs médecins n'est pas à cinq jours. Grâce à sa navigation, ils peuvent l'atteindre en environ un jour et demi dans des conditions normales. Tara rejoint finalement le groupe. Elle possède une dague. Et surtout— Elle possède un pouvoir de téléportation. Elle peut se téléporter uniquement : dans son champ de vision ; vers un endroit solide. Elle peut se téléporter dans l'eau, mais pas dans l'air. Elle ne peut pas se téléporter directement sur une île qu'elle ne voit pas. Et elle ne peut pas emmener quelqu'un avec elle. Pour le prouver, elle prend la main de Mitoro et se téléporte. Mitoro reste exactement au même endroit. Gourou et Zephinro rigolent énormément. Tara devient rouge. Mitoro ne comprend absolument pas pourquoi ils rigolent. 17. ❤️ Tara et Mitoro Tara est secrètement amoureuse de Mitoro. Elle est légèrement plus âgée que lui. Elle cherche souvent à passer du temps avec lui. Elle rougit lorsqu'elle est proche de lui. Gourou et Zephinro comprennent parfaitement ce qui se passe. Mitoro, lui, est complètement aveugle à ce sujet. Il considère Tara comme une bonne amie. Leur relation devient progressivement très forte. Ils jouent ensemble. Ils discutent. Ils s'entraînent. Tara progresse notamment avec sa dague et son pouvoir. 18. 🐒 Seaiter et ses transformations Seaiter montre également ses différentes transformations. Il présente notamment : sa transformation singe ; sa transformation mi-singe/mi-renard ; sa transformation renard. Il montre particulièrement sa forme utilisée pour combattre. Tara trouve Seaiter extrêmement mignon. Gourou est également heureux de voir qu'il n'est pas le seul à avoir une apparence mélangeant humain et animal. 19. 🦊 Tara et l'orbe du Kitsune Zephinro soupçonne que Tara est celle qui a donné l'orbe du Kitsune à Mitoro. Il lui demande directement. Tara confirme. Elle explique qu'elle a réussi à obtenir l'orbe grâce à son pouvoir de téléportation. Elle s'était infiltrée sur le navire de Louemis Azouris. Zephinro est impressionné. Il lui demande alors : — Mais Louemis possède le Flux de Volonté. Comment as-tu réussi à utiliser ton pouvoir contre lui ? Mitoro et Tara ne comprennent pas ce qu'est le Flux de Volonté. Zephinro leur répond simplement qu'ils devront le découvrir en mer, comme lui l'a fait. Mitoro est immédiatement excité à l'idée de découvrir cette nouvelle capacité. 20. 🏝️ L'île des médecins Après plusieurs jours de voyage, le groupe atteint finalement l'île réputée pour ses médecins. Ils rencontrent deux frères jumeaux : Hyômaru Haruno 14 ans au moment de leur rencontre ; médecin ; possède le pouvoir du Léopard ; peut prendre une forme hybride de léopard ; son père lui a appris énormément de choses sur la médecine. Enji Haruno frère jumeau de Hyômaru ; cuisinier ; possède le pouvoir du Feu ; sa mère lui a appris énormément de choses sur la cuisine. Leurs parents sont partis. Les deux frères vivent seuls dans une grande cabane. 21. 🏥 Les soins de Mitoro Mitoro doit être soigné. Le médecin explique que les soins dureront environ deux semaines. Après ces deux semaines, Mitoro pourra marcher et bouger normalement, mais il devra encore se reposer. Pendant environ un mois, il ne pourra pas reprendre sérieusement les combats. Vers la fin de cette période, il pourra recommencer doucement à s'entraîner. Enji prépare leurs repas. Et Mitoro reconnaît que sa cuisine est encore meilleure que celle de Gourou. 22. 🍳 Mitoro veut recruter les frères Mitoro demande aux deux frères s'ils doivent payer pour les soins. Le médecin refuse. Il explique que leur compagnie suffit. Ils cherchaient justement un peu de compagnie. Mitoro leur propose alors de rejoindre son équipage. Enji refuse immédiatement. Hyômaru explique que ce n'est pas qu'ils ne veulent pas. Ils ont simplement des affaires à régler. Mitoro leur propose de rester deux semaines puis un mois pour les aider. Mais les deux frères refusent toujours. Ils veulent régler leurs problèmes seuls. 23. 🧊 Kaelis Drave Plus tard, le groupe rencontre Kaelis Drave, un garçon possédant le pouvoir de la glace. Kaelis est très puissant. Il était autrefois pirate. Son équipage était allié à celui de Zephinro. Zephinro et Kaelis se connaissent donc déjà. Ils se saluent comme de vieux amis. Mais Zephinro ne révèle pas immédiatement d'où ils se connaissent. 24. ⚔️ L'attaque du village Cinq ennemis extrêmement puissants attaquent le village. Le plus fort d'entre eux est tellement puissant qu'il rivalise avec Zephinro à son niveau de prime. Les autres combattants : Seaiter ; Gourou ; Enji ; ont énormément de difficultés. Enji se débrouille très bien avec son pouvoir du Feu, mais il finit lui aussi dépassé. Leurs combats durent moins de deux minutes. Ils sont complètement dominés. Kaelis, en revanche, affronte l'adversaire le plus puissant. Et malgré cela— Kaelis domine son adversaire. Il le blesse très gravement. Les ennemis finissent par battre en retraite. 25. 🧊 Le passé de Kaelis Kaelis explique ensuite à Gourou qu'il était pirate. Son ancien capitaine était lui aussi un grand pirate et un sabreur. Gourou comprend alors quelque chose. Il fait le rapprochement avec : Louemis Azouris. Les autres ne comprennent pas. Mitoro et Seaiter ne font pas le rapprochement. Kaelis ajoute finalement : — Au fait… tu as finalement réussi à trouver l'orbe du Kitsune ? Cette phrase confirme encore davantage à Gourou que Kaelis connaît très bien Zephinro. 26. 🕵️ L'homme mystérieux Gourou raconte ensuite une autre histoire. Avant leur départ, ils avaient rencontré un homme mystérieux. Un homme vêtu entièrement de noir. Il portait une grande capuche. Son visage était caché. Il ressemblait vaguement à quelqu'un qui chercherait à dissimuler son identité. L'homme ne parlait presque pas. Il semblait extrêmement puissant. Gourou explique tout à Seaiter. Puis il demande à Seaiter de venir dans un endroit isolé. Gourou pense que Zephinro connaît cet homme. Zephinro ne donne pas beaucoup de détails. Il dit seulement que cet homme a un rapport avec son histoire et celle de Mitoro. Gourou ne le force pas à parler. 27. 🖤 Le père de Mitoro et Zephinro Zephinro part finalement seul à la recherche de cet homme. Il finit par le retrouver. L'homme semble presque l'attendre. Il retire sa capuche. Zephinro confirme intérieurement son hypothèse. Puis il dit : « Papa… qu'est-ce que tu fais là ? » L'homme est donc le père de Mitoro et Zephinro. Il explique qu'il voulait simplement voir ses fils. Il avait tout prévu. Il avait volontairement créé une situation qui pousserait Zephinro à venir le chercher. Il avait même placé certains éléments sur le chemin afin que Zephinro arrive dans un endroit isolé. Le père connaît parfaitement son fils. Il lui dit notamment, en substance, qu'il n'a pas changé et qu'il reste toujours aussi calculateur. Ils discutent pendant environ une heure. Mais la conversation reste secrète. Le lecteur ne connaît pas ce qu'ils se sont dit. Puis le père disparaît. À sa place, un tas de cartes tombe au sol comme dans une illusion. Puis il n'y a plus personne. 28. 🤫 Le secret de Zephinro Zephinro revient à la cabane. Gourou comprend qu'il s'est passé quelque chose. Mais il respecte son ami. Il ne pose pas de questions insistantes. Il garde donc le silence. L'ambiance entre Gourou et Zephinro devient légèrement tendue. Mais personne ne le remarque vraiment. 29. 🎂 L'anniversaire des jumeaux Deux ans passent. Mais avant cela, Zephinro apprend que Mitoro fête son anniversaire. Il décide de préparer une surprise. Gourou comprend alors qu'il s'agit aussi de l'anniversaire de Zephinro, puisque les deux sont jumeaux. Gourou décide donc de créer un énorme quiproquo. Il dit à Zephinro qu'ils vont préparer l'anniversaire de Mitoro. Puis il dit à Mitoro qu'ils vont préparer celui de Zephinro. Tout le monde est au courant. Sauf les deux frères. 30. 🏠 La grande cabane Ils construisent une immense cabane au bord de la mer. Zephinro sait également construire des cabanes. Mitoro finit par agrandir encore le bâtiment. Il construit une seconde cabane à côté. Il casse un mur afin de relier les deux. La nouvelle habitation devient gigantesque. Plus grande encore que leur ancienne maison. 31. 🎁 Les cadeaux Le soir de l'anniversaire, les deux frères arrivent. Ils pensent chacun venir fêter l'anniversaire de l'autre. Ils finissent par comprendre le piège. Tout le monde rigole. Puis ils ouvrent leurs cadeaux. Cadeau de Zephinro à Mitoro Un magnifique sabre rouge. Un sabre extrêmement rare et très puissant. Avec un fourreau rouge. Tout le monde regarde Zephinro bizarrement. Cadeau de Mitoro à Zephinro Un bâton multifonction. Il peut : s'allonger ; se raccourcir ; produire des flammes. Cadeau de Gourou à Mitoro Un autre sabre. Avec : manche marron ; fourreau marron. Cadeau de Tara à Mitoro Encore un sabre. Avec : manche violet ; fourreau violet. Cadeau de Gourou et Seaiter à Zephinro Un Drake. Un seul Drake, mais sa valeur est énorme. Cadeau de Tara à Zephinro Des mannequins d'entraînement. 32. ⚔️ Les trois sabres de Mitoro Mitoro regarde les trois sabres. Puis il plaisante : — Mais qu'est-ce que je vais faire de ces trois sabres ? Pour rigoler— Il met : le sabre rouge dans sa main gauche ; le sabre marron dans sa main droite ; le sabre violet dans sa bouche. Tout le monde éclate de rire. Puis Mitoro remarque quelque chose. Le rouge lui ressemble. Le marron correspond au pelage de Gourou. Et le violet correspond aux vêtements de Tara. Tara devient immédiatement rouge. Gourou et Zephinro rigolent. Mitoro, évidemment— Ne comprend rien. 33. 🏡 Ils décident de déménager Après la fête, ils dorment dans la grande cabane. Gourou regarde autour de lui. — On pourrait presque habiter ici. Tout le monde répond : — Bah demain on déménage ! Et le lendemain— Ils le font réellement. Ils transportent toutes leurs affaires dans la grande cabane. 34. ⏳ Deux années d'entraînement Deux années passent. Tout le monde s'entraîne énormément. Ils progressent tous. Leur niveau a presque triplé ou quadruplé. Mitoro Il développe énormément : son contrôle du Vent ; sa force ; son agilité. Il commence également à développer un style de combat basé sur l'agilité et des mouvements proches du karaté. Mais il n'a pas encore découvert toute l'étendue de cette technique. Zephinro Il travaille : son physique ; son sabre ; surtout son contrôle du Kitsune. Il améliore énormément sa transformation. Tara Elle travaille : son physique ; sa dague ; son pouvoir de téléportation. Gourou Il devient beaucoup plus agile. Sa petite taille devient même un avantage dans certains combats. Seaiter Il continue à développer ses transformations. 35. 🏝️ Le moment du départ Après ces deux années, Mitoro n'est plus blessé. L'argent nécessaire a été réuni. Zephinro est suffisamment fort pour protéger le village. Les conditions sont donc enfin réunies. Mitoro doit partir. Mais il hésite. Il dit qu'il veut encore s'entraîner. C'est en partie vrai. Mais la vraie raison est beaucoup plus profonde. Il ne veut pas quitter Quaouque. Il ne veut pas quitter Fujimura. Pour Mitoro, Fujimura est presque son père. Le village est sa famille. Il promet donc : « Dans deux ans, je serai prêt mentalement et physiquement à partir. » Puis il tient sa promesse. 36. 😢 Les adieux Mitoro va voir Fujimura. Il lui annonce qu'il part. Il essaie de parler normalement. Mais on voit immédiatement qu'il retient ses larmes. Il explique qu'il veut poursuivre son rêve. Il remercie Fujimura pour tout. Puis il dit au revoir aux habitants du village. Un par un. Il essaie de rester fort. Mais c'est extrêmement difficile. 37. 🚢 Le départ de Quaouque Mitoro part finalement en bateau. Cette fois, Zephinro reste à Quaouque. Il doit protéger le village. Mitoro se retrouve donc avec : Gourou ; Tara ; Seaiter. Après seulement dix minutes de navigation— Mitoro regarde le village qui s'éloigne. Il ne peut plus retenir ses larmes. Il pleure. Il essaie de se cacher. Mais Gourou comprend. Tara aussi. Personne ne se moque de lui. Mitoro vient de quitter une grande partie de sa famille. Après environ une heure— Il réussit finalement à se reprendre. Il regarde l'horizon. Puis il dit : — Maintenant… — On va aller chercher nos amis. Il pense à Hyômaru et Enji. Il est persuadé qu'ils ont probablement réglé leurs problèmes. Et il compte bien leur proposer une nouvelle fois de rejoindre leur équipage. 🧭 État actuel de l'histoire À ce moment précis : 👦 Mitoro rêve toujours de devenir pirate ; possède le pouvoir du Vent ; maîtrise beaucoup mieux son pouvoir ; est extrêmement attaché à Quaouque ; considère Fujimura comme un père ; vient de quitter le village ; veut recruter Hyômaru et Enji. 🦊 Zephinro frère jumeau de Mitoro ; reste à Quaouque ; protège le village ; possède le pouvoir du Kitsune ; ancien pirate ; connaît Louemis Azouris ; connaît son mystérieux père ; cache encore beaucoup de choses à Gourou et aux autres. 🐾 Gourou environ 80 cm ; meilleur ami de Mitoro ; extrêmement loyal ; très agile ; commence à comprendre qu'il existe de nombreuses choses qu'on lui cache. 🐒 Seaiter possède plusieurs transformations ; possède une forme singe particulièrement adaptée au combat ; est petit ; reste très proche de Gourou et Mitoro. 💜 Tara navigatrice ; possède un pouvoir de téléportation ; utilise une dague ; est amoureuse de Mitoro ; Mitoro ne s'en rend toujours pas compte ; est devenue une véritable amie du groupe. 🐆 Hyômaru Haruno médecin ; possède le pouvoir du Léopard ; très puissant ; a encore des affaires personnelles à régler ; n'a pas encore rejoint l'équipage. 🔥 Enji Haruno cuisinier ; possède le pouvoir du Feu ; cuisine extrêmement bien ; n'a pas encore rejoint l'équipage. 🧊 Kaelis Drave possède le pouvoir de la Glace ; ancien pirate ; très puissant ; connaît Zephinro ; possède un lien avec l'ancien monde pirate de Zephinro. 🖤 Le père de Mitoro et Zephinro mystérieux ; extrêmement calculateur ; semble connaître énormément de choses ; a organisé la rencontre avec Zephinro ; ses véritables intentions restent inconnues. ⚔️ Louemis Azouris plus grand sabreur ; grand pirate ; possède le Flux de Volonté ; prime supérieure à 1 milliard de Drakes ; possède un équipage composé de commandants et de flottes ; a autrefois gravement blessé Zephinro ; n'est pas considéré comme particulièrement mauvais.

PÁGINA 1 — O ANIVERSÁRIO Clima: Sombrio, silencioso, melancólico. Quadro 1 (Painel Grande/Estabelecimento de cenário): Vista externa da U.A. à noite. Apenas uma janela do dormitório do Curso de Heróis está acesa, mas com uma luz fraca. Efeito/Onomatopeia: ...Fuuu... (O som do vento da noite). Quadro 2: Interior do quarto. Bakugou está sentado na beira da cama, curvado. O quarto está escuro, iluminado apenas pela lua que entra pela janela e pelo brilho da tela do celular. Quadro 3 (Close-up na tela do celular): Várias notificações de mensagens subindo. Dá para ver faixas de texto como "Deku: Feliz Aniversário, Kacchan!", "Mina: Parabéns, Bakugou! 🎉💥", "Kaminari: Bora comemorar!!". Quadro 4 (Close-up no rosto de Bakugou): Ele está com uma expressão cansada, as sobrancelhas franzidas, um olhar frio e distante. Ele desliga a tela do celular abruptamente. Efeito/Onomatopeia: Clack. (Celular batendo na cômoda). Bakugou (Pensamento): Que perda de tempo... Mais um ano infernal. PÁGINA 2 — KIRISHIMA APARECE Clima: Quebra repentina de energia, caloroso. Quadro 1: A porta do quarto se abre de repente, quebrando o silêncio. Efeito/Onomatopeia: Gacha! (Porta abrindo). Quadro 2: Kirishima entra, iluminando o ambiente com sua presença. Ele está usando roupas casuais, tem aquele sorriso largo e pontiagudo de sempre. Em uma mão, segura uma sacolinha plástica de conveniência e, na outra, uma caixinha com um bolo simples de mercado. Kirishima: Ei, Bakugou! Sabia que você ia estar acordado. Feliz aniversário, cara! Quadro 3 (Reação de Bakugou): Bakugou olha para trás, pego de surpresa. Seus olhos estão arregalados por um milésimo de segundo antes de voltarem ao normal, misturando irritação e choque. Bakugou: Mas que porra...? Quem te deu permissão pra entrar, Cabelo de Merda?! PÁGINA 3 — BAKUGOU RESMUNGÃO Clima: Cômico, dinâmico, defensivo. Quadro 1: Kirishima ignora completamente os gritos e vai direto até a mesinha de centro do quarto, agachando-se e colocando o bolo e as parada da sacola ali. Kirishima: Não começa a berrar, os outros já foram dormir! E eu trouxe doce, você não pode recusar doce. Quadro 2: Bakugou se levanta, cruzando os braços agressivamente. O rosto dele está tenso e, por puro nervosismo/orgulho, pequenas faíscas começam a estalar involuntariamente nas palmas das mãos dele. Efeito/Onomatopeia: Pachi... Pachi... (Pequenas explosões). Bakugou: Eu não pedi bolo nenhum! Eu odeio essa merda de aniversário, todo mundo agindo como se fosse especial! Some daqui! Quadro 3: Kirishima olha para as mãos estalando de Bakugou e solta uma risada leve, coçando a nuca, zero afetado pelas ameaças. Kirishima: Haha, você não muda mesmo. Relaxa, é só a gente. PÁGINA 4 — O CLIMA FICA MAIS CALMO Clima: Intimista, transição suave, confortável. Quadro 1 (Painel de ângulo aberto): Os dois agora estão sentados no chão, um de frente para o outro, com a mesinha no meio. O bolo está aberto (com uma única vela apagada). O ambiente parece mais quente agora. Quadro 2: Kirishima está comendo um pedaço e falando animadamente, gesticulando com o garfo de plástico, contando alguma bobagem do treino do dia. Kirishima: ...e aí o Kaminari quase fritou o próprio cérebro antes do almoço, você tinha que ter visto! Quadro 3 (Close-up no Bakugou): Bakugou está segurando o seu prato, cutucando o bolo. Ele não está gritando. Ele está olhando discretamente de canto de olho para Kirishima, apenas ouvindo a voz dele preencher o vazio do quarto. A expressão dele suavizou um pouco. PÁGINA 5 — MOMENTO EMOCIONAL Clima: Profundo, sombras marcantes (estilo Seinen). Quadro 1: O diálogo diminui. Um silêncio sutil se instala. Bakugou desvia o olhar para o chão, a sombra da franja cobrindo os olhos. Bakugou: ...Nunca fez sentido pra mim. Quadro 2 (Foco no rosto de Bakugou): Expressão fechada, mas não de raiva, e sim de vulnerabilidade reprimida. Bakugou: Só serve pra lembrar o quanto as pessoas esperam de você. O quanto você tem que ser forte. É só um dia idiota onde as pessoas fingem que se importam porque o calendário mandou. Quadro 3 (Foco no Kirishima): Kirishima para de falar. O sorriso dele some, dando lugar a uma expressão terna, cheia de empatia e uma leve preocupação. Ele realmente entende o peso que o Bakugou carrega. PÁGINA 6 — O SORRISO Clima: Romântico/Slow Burn, quebra de gelo. Quadro 1 (Foco no Kirishima): Kirishima sorri de novo, mas não aquele sorriso energético de antes, e sim um sorriso suave, maduro e profundamente sincero. Ele se inclina um pouco para a frente. Kirishima: Mas o calendário não me mandou vir aqui. Eu vim porque eu quis. Pra mim, o dia que você nasceu é importante, Bakugou. Porque... bem, fico feliz que você esteja no mundo. E que seja meu amigo. Quadro 2 (Grande plano no rosto do Bakugou): O "choque" final. As bochechas de Bakugou ganham um tom leve de rubor (linhas finas de screentone nas bochechas). Ele desvia o rosto rapidamente para o lado oposto, puxando a gola da camisa para cobrir a boca. Quadro 3 (Foco nos lábios de Bakugou): Mesmo tentando esconder e olhando para o lado, o canto da boca dele cede. Um micro-sorriso, quase invisível, mas genuíno, aparece. Bakugou: ...Idiota. Cabelo de merda idiota. PÁGINA 7 — TENSÃO 👀 Clima: Ritmo lento, close-ups dramáticos, eletricidade no ar. Quadro 1 (Painel Horizontal Longo): O silêncio volta, mas agora é um silêncio pesado, carregado de eletricidade. O espaço entre os dois no chão parece menor do que antes. Eles estão muito próximos. Quadro 2 (Close-up nos olhos de Bakugou): Bakugou se vira de volta. Seus olhos vermelhos encontram os de Kirishima. O olhar dele é intenso, focado, quase desafiador, mas com o coração acelerado. Efeito/Onomatopeia: Doki... Doki... (Batida do coração abafada). Quadro 3 (Perspectiva de Kirishima): Kirishima engole em seco, os olhos ligeiramente arregalados, percebendo a mudança drástica na atmosfera. Ninguém se mexe. Ninguém fala. A tensão romântica é quase palpável. PÁGINA 8 — FINAL DA PRIMEIRA PARTE Clima: Conforto, madrugando, transição para algo a mais. Quadro 1 (Painel Grande superior): O relógio na parede marca 03:14 da manhã. A caixinha do bolo está vazia ao lado. Kirishima, exausto do dia de treinos e de ter ficado acordado até tarde, acabou pegando no sono, com a cabeça pesada encostada de lado no ombro de Bakugou (ou na parede bem ao lado dele). Ele parece em paz. Quadro 2 (Close-up no Bakugou): Bakugou não se moveu para não acordá-lo. O rosto dele está completamente relaxado — uma expressão suave e calma que ele nunca mostra para ninguém em público. Ele olha de lado para o Kirishima dormindo. Quadro 3 (Painel Final da Página — Silhueta/Sombreado bonito): Bakugou estica a mão e, com um toque incrivelmente leve e cuidadoso, afasta uma mecha do cabelo vermelho do rosto de Kirishima. A luz da lua abraça o quarto. Bakugou (Sussurro bem baixo): ...Obrigado. (Texto de rodapé do capítulo): No silêncio da madrugada, um sentimento difícil de explodir começa a tomar forma... Continua na Parte 2.
