EPISODE 0: PROLOGUE (Manhwa Opening)
[Scene: A rainy, empty intersection in Tokyo. Night. Cold streetlights shimmer on wet pavement. Slow, haunting piano music atmosphere.]
NARRATION (Enoki's voice):
"Life… is a burden."
"No matter how far I run… how much I forget… the past keeps dragging me back."
[Close-up shot: Enoki, early 20s, white hair—wolf cut with neat medium-length bangs. Big, crystal-clear marble eyes. Pale skin, slightly bruised. He's wearing a Japanese college uniform—neat but slightly wrinkled. Hands in pockets. Eyes blank.]
[Scene: He walks forward slowly, crossing the road as the red pedestrian signal blinks.]
[Flashback flickers briefly: A child's hand reaching out... laughter... then darkness.]
SFX: BRRMMM (motorbike roaring)
[Suddenly, a motorbike swerves into the scene.]
[Time slows. Enoki turns his head, unfazed.]
ENOKI (softly):
"Even death feels like an invitation."
[Impact. Blood splashes. The world turns white.]
[He lies on the ground, half-conscious. Blood on his face. Faint smile.]
ENOKI (weakly):
"Life is… a burden."
