The moonlight was silent, spilling silver radiance from the heavens.
The city's usual clamor had vanished, leaving only scattered lights against the darkness below, dappling the dim, lightless world.
Far from the city stood a bridge, said to be the perfect place to test your nerve. All you had to do was walk beneath it.
And your courage would be proven...
No one knew where that rumor had come from, or what those words were meant to accomplish.
But one boy knew that this was a curse he had to eliminate.
In the darkness, a girl sprinted along, dragging a boy about her age by his collar. They were Nobara Kugisaki and the injured Megumi Fushiguro!
"Hey! Put me down! Those cursed spirits haven't been dealt with yet. How can I..."
"Shut up! Didn't you see how freakishly strong that guy with the twin tails was? You want to fight a monster like that? Are you trying to get us both killed?!"
Megumi Fushiguro choked back his words. He knew it all too well himself. If he hadn't been hit in the thigh at the start and lost his mobility, followed by that cursed technique attack...
Fuck!
He didn't care what happened to him. Losing an arm or a leg meant nothing!
There were still cursed spirits here, and his sister's curse remained unresolved. He couldn't hide the agitation churning inside him.
He bit down hard on his lip, foolishly hoping the pain would ease the pressure inside him.
But the harder he tried to restrain his thoughts, telling himself to stay calm, to hold back, not to act rashly...
The more desperately he wanted to put an end to all this shit!
His sister, that gentle soul, that kindhearted idiot... why did she have to suffer through all this
