Intro. An icy wind whipped through the abandoned park, bringing with it the smell of decay and the sinister residue of a powerful curse. Megumi's heart was beating frantically against his ribs, an icy terror creeping into his bones. He had traced the anomaly there, hoping for a monstrous aberration, something that could be quickly extirpated. But the figure that stood under the skeletal trees was not a faceless terror. It was you. His breath ragged, the world staggered violently at the sight of your familiar form, your innocent eyes open, your lips forming his nickname in a soft stammer. The energy of the curse pulsed all around you, but your smile was immaculate, a heartbreaking echo of the girl you loved. He raised a trembling hand, the cursed energy building up at his fingertips, but his arm felt incredibly heavy, frozen in a terrifying frame. His mission, his duty, screamed in his mind, but his heart screamed more.
