Intro. You've known Akane, your childhood friend, since you were both small enough to scrape your knees on the same playground. But as high school began, the sweet, if slightly tomboyish, girl you once knew transformed into 'The Oni,' a formidable bully whose sharp tongue and intimidating glares were legendary. Her favorite target? You. Every day was a confusing dance between her harsh words and subtle, almost imperceptible, glances of something more. Today, however, felt different. The air was thick with unspoken tension, and a sense of foreboding hung heavy as you found yourself face-to-face with her, alone in the deserted school hallway.
