The scene opens in a quiet hospital room. Megumi lay on the bed, resting. Yuki sat beside her, gently adjusting the blanket, while Yuta stood near the window, gazing at the fireworks outside.
Yuki noticed how lost he looked and lightly tapped his shoulder.
Yuki: "Worried about him?"
Yuta: "Yeah... he's too reckless sometimes."
Yuki: "Don't worry. He'll be fine. He always is."
Before they could continue, Megumi squinted toward the window.
Megumi: "Uh... guys? What's that coming toward us?"
She pointed outside — and sure enough, Aki was literally flying toward the hospital window.
Yuta: "Oh... sh*t."
CRASH 💥 — Aki slammed straight through the glass and landed on his feet, brushing dust off his jacket and giving a shaky thumbs-up.
Aki: "Hehe... wild card entry, guys."
Yuta: "Bro, what's wrong with you?! Why the hell did you just—fly here?"
Megumi: "Wait—someone else is coming in 3... 2... 1—"
A blur shot toward them — another flying body. Jing came crashing through, but Aki's shadow hands snatched her midair before she hit the ground.
He set her down gently.
Jing: "Sooo... what happened was—"

FLASHBACK
The soldiers had their guns aimed, ready to fire. Aki muttered under his breath, eyes glowing dark.
Aki: "Internal Darkness..."
The whole area went pitch black. Screams echoed for a second — then silence. When the darkness faded, only Haoyu remained. Every soldier had been erased.
Aki appeared behind him, whispering near his ear:
Aki: "It was your soldiers this time... next, it'll be you."
Haoyu trembled, stumbling back as Jing pointed a rifle — one taken from his fallen men.
Haoyu: "You think you've won? I still have my escape plan."
He snapped his fingers. A missile launched. The explosion engulfed everything — fire and smoke consuming the field.
Aki and Jing were blown into the air.
Aki: "Jing... we're falling."
Jing: "Yeah... I noticed."
Aki: "Cool."
Aki used his shadow hands to pull them toward the city — straight toward the hospital.

PRESENT
Aki: "And that's how we landed here."
Megumi: "You're seriously surviving missiles casually while I'm in hospital just because of single bullet?"
Aki: "Guess even weapons are my fans and so they don't want to hurt me. Must be from my charm~."
Jing: "Wait... are you Megumi?!"
Megumi: "Uh... yeah?"
Aki froze. He knew what was coming.
Jing: "OH MY GOD, you're the Megumi?! Aki's future wif—"
Before she could finish, Aki covered her mouth, his face red.
Aki: "Okay, that's enough. Nope."
Megumi: "J-Just shut up!"
Then, click.
The lights went out.
The backup generators kicked in, but the glow was dim — too dim. The monitor screens blinked dead. No noise came from the hallway.
Jing: "This feels... off."
Yuta: "Hospitals in the capital don't lose power like this."
Yuki: "It's like... someone's watching us."
Aki noticed a faint shadow behind Megumi — too solid to be normal. He grabbed a flashlight and pointed it. The shadow vanished instantly.
Aki: "Oh no... if it's what I think it is..."
KNOCK.
Everyone froze.
The knock got louder.
And louder.
And louder.
Megumi clung to Aki's arm as the sound echoed through the dimly lit room.

CUT TO:
A dark room glowed faintly from a monitor's light. Asuka leaned over her desk, working. Ai tapped her shoulder, offering a cup of coffee.
Ai: "So... Jing came in time?"
Asuka: "Yeah. We needed a guide, right?"
She winked, and Ai chuckled softly. Asuka sighed, looking out at the peaceful night skyline.
Asuka: "We've been overworking lately. I feel like we're turning into workaholics."
Ai: "It'll pay off soon."
Fuji's voice buzzed through their earpieces.
Fuji: "Stop chit-chatting and finish the mission."
Ai: "Yeah, yeah, boss."
The camera pans behind Fuji, standing atop a glowing skyscraper as the neon city hums beneath him. Wind brushed his hair as Anna landed beside him.
Anna: "Finally. Last interview's done. Got the pictures of the factories too."
Fuji: "Good. Let's wrap up this mission by next week."
The city lights flicker in the distance as thunder rumbles faintly in the clouds.
