50 years ago, a series of meteor showers pelted the earth. While most burned up in the atmosphere, it is estimated that almost 1,000 meteors made it to the ground. Those who managed to find and touch a meteorite were granted a special gift, superpowers. In the following decades, these "super-soldiers" were used as weapons and soldiers for the next world war by their respective countries. It is the year 2090, 20 years after the end of World War 3. The world has changed so much over the past century, new countries, alliances, and people. After decades of economic instability, the United States is entering its turnaround. The economy and quality of life in the country is steadily climbing, despite the high crime rate. The appearance of 'yuushas' around the world has led to a new era of great peace.The red sun rises on a cool Autumn day, the glowing light shining upon a city. A city that has experienced so much history over the previous century. A city that has gone through the highest highs and the lowest lows. Unknown to the denizens of this city, a new era dawned upon them when the sun rose.6:10 AMMonday, October 2ndYear 2090Seattle, WashingtonThe light of the rising sun invades through the windows of a bedroom. The occupant of said bedroom, a young girl, groans as she wakes up, the harsh sunlight shining right upon her. She gets up from her bed, stretching as her joints pop. Rummaging through her closet, the girl puts on a pair of pink pajamas as she makes her way out of the bedroom, yawning. She makes her way down the stairs; a small smile comes to her face as she hears sounds coming out of the kitchen. When she enters said kitchen, she notices a middle-aged woman standing next to the stove, cooking eggs. Nearby, a man around the same age sits, staring at a TV playing the news as he sips his coffee. The woman turns to her, giving her an aged smile. "Ohayo, Maya...""Ohayo Okaa-san, Otou-san."The man smiled, responding, "Ohayo."Maya walked to the table, sitting down opposite her father. Her mother turned back to working on breakfast."I'm making tomogoyaki right now, and toast should be ready in a moment.""Mm, I'm starving."The father took a sip of his coffee, looking up at her. "You're up a little early aren't you?"Maya nodded. "The principal wanted to meet with the student council a little early before the day started."Her father nodded, staring back at the TV as the weatherman reported. It looked like rain would be coming in later this week.'When doesn't it rain in Seattle.' Maya thought."Micah, breakfast is almost ready. Can you grab plates please?""Of course darling." The father got out of his seat, turning to Maya."You want anything to drink? Orange Juice?"She shook her head, "Just water please."Micah left with a nod, going to grab drinks and plates.Maya smiled, turning back to watch the news. The smile turning into a frown as she saw what came up on the screen, turning the volume up on the nearby remote."And we just wanted to let everyone know that last night, police found a potential suspect in the bombing of the Providence hospital in downtown Seattle that occurred on this day last month. The suspect was in an armed standoff with police in his home in Bremerton for around 13 hours before surrendering himself. Upon inspection, officers found around two hundred firearms and close to five thousand rounds of ammunition in his home. It is believed that the suspect is an associate of the domestic terrorist group, The Apostles of Jeremiah."Maya's watching was interrupted as a plate was set down in front of her. Looking down, she sees a small omelette and a few pieces of toast with jam spread on them. Thanking her dad before looking back at the screen, the reporter mentioned that the last wounded civilian involved in the hospital bombing was discharged last night. Maya turned off the TV, noticing her parents gathering around the table."Crazy world we live in." Micah commented, the mother nodding along."Our yuushas will stop them, and any other akuto that comes along the way."Maya's parents smiled at their daughter's optimism, their breakfast continuing in a comfortable silence.When the family finished, Maya got up out of her seat, putting her plate in the dishwasher. Her father called out to her before she left."Maya, Miyuki and I will be late this evening. Are you comfortable with picking something up from the store for dinner?""Of course!""Oh! And grab some medicine for Shoto, please. He's still running a fever.""Will do!"When their conversation finished, Maya ran up the stairs. She gets ready for the day ahead, showering and getting dressed in her school clothes afterward. When she is finished, she stops to take a look at herself in the body mirror in the corner of her room.She twirls some of her long and fluffy caramel brown hair, looking down and adjusting her school outfit, a navy blazer with a dark gray button-up shirt, a collared white undershirt, and a green tie. Since she didn't want to risk getting sick while walking home in the rain, she opted for her cream-colored pants instead of a skirt. Buttoning up her shirt, she grabs a pin from the desk next to her and sticks it on her, a crest appearing on the lapel of the blazer. Adjusting the back of her jacket, Maya turns to her side, exposing her bushy tail to the body mirror, fluffing it out. She reaches up to her scalp, brushing her round and animalistic ears with her hand. Satisfied with her appearance, Maya finished her outfit with a pair of long socks and sneakers. Grabbing her backpack, she walks out her door and down a few rooms, knocking on the door."Otouto? Are you awake? Can I come in?""Hai..."Hearing the muffled response, Maya opened the door and walked in. There, her little brother laid flat on the bed, his face flush along with a wet towel draped on his forehead."Oneesan..." The boy groaned out.Maya smiled at the boy, taking the towel off and feeling his forehead. The coolness of the towel lasts for a second before the heat rushes to her hand. She puts the towel back on his forehead, ruffling his ashen gray hair."Ohayo Shoto. How are you feeling?""Mm, the cough's still there, and I still feel hot.""Did mom take your temperature?""Hai, she said it was around 102.""It's okay, just wait another day or two and you'll be back in school in no time."Shoto groaned weakly. "If I get to miss school then I'm fine with being sick, I guess."Maya giggled at her brother's attitude. She lowered her head to her brother. "Rub my ears for good luck?"Shoto's eyes brightened, turning into stars while nodding vigorously. Shifting herself she tilts her head down and offers her ears to Shoto, who weakly rubs and ruffles them. His sister giggled as she felt her ears twitch at Shoto's touch.Lifting herself up when he finished, they both smile at each other, Shoto's a little weaker due to the sickness."Daisuki, Oneesan.""Love you too, Otouto."Maya got up and left the room, giving her brother one more smile before leaving. She makes her way downstairs, giving her parents one final goodbye before leaving their house. The rising sun dawns on the beautiful suburban neighborhood. Walking down the street, she makes her way to the bus stop and sits down on the nearby bench. As Maya waits for the bus to come, she contemplates what has happened over the past month. She's had to adjust her time for work since school started, and since it's her junior year, which she heard from her senior year friends is always the worst year, she's been studying for tests more often. What worried her the most was the recent hospital bombing, one of her friends was in the area when the bomb went off and had to stay in the hospital for a while. She was discharged over the weekend and was coming back to school today.Her thoughts were interrupted when the city bus arrived, smiling to herself she gets up from the bench and onto the bus, dismissing her worries as her optimism of a new week returns. As the bus leaves for its next destination, she looks out the window, seeing a small dark patch of clouds in the far distance....7:35 A:MMaya steps off the bus, arriving at her school, Hikama Academy, a private school that mixed both American and Japanese school customs. Established in 2072 by Japanese immigrants, it quickly became one of the more prestigious schools in the region, with a quickly rising basketball team, prestigious classes with highly rated teachers, and more recently a prominent student in their ranks.Making her way through the doors of the school, she quickly makes her way to the second floor of the school. She arrives at her destination a minute later, arriving in front of a room labeled "ASB." Opening the door, the room is relatively empty except for a lone boy leaning on a desk in the middle, looking at his phone. Hearing the door open, the boy looks up, smiling at the familiar face entering the room."Good morning, Maya.""Ohayo, Kaichou-kun."Daniel Serra was the student president of Hikama Academy, and the star shooting guard for their basketball team. Probably the most popular boy in the school, charismatic and charming, he was basically a heartthrob in the academy, and one of Maya's closest friends. Maya sat down next to Daniel, asking. "Any reason we have a meeting this early?"Daniel sits down, slightly grunting. "Grace wants to go over some budget concerns regarding the calligraphy club. And principal Meyers wants to discuss a day off for Jacob's Day, since it's on a weekend this year.""He didn't schedule a day off?""Nope." The boy responded, pulling a notebook out of his backpack. "He wanted our thoughts before making a decision.""Hah, I see." Maya sweat-dropped, Meyers was always an indecisive man. Looking over, she watched Daniel open his notebook, peeking at the text in her native writing."You're studying Japanese?" The girl asked."Yeah, might as well while I wait. Mr. Fushiguro's teaching katakana right now and it's giving me a bit of trouble."There was a second of silence before Daniel turned to Maya."Can I ask for something that's a little selfish?""Of course, Kaichou-kun." Maya nodded."Do you think you could help me with this? It'll help kill time while we wait." The student-president asked meekly.Maya giggled, nodding at the boy. "Of course I will, since you help me with English I should return the favor.""Thanks."... 7:55 AMWhile Maya was helping the student-president, a few other students slowly began to trickle into the room, such as Grace Fukuyami, the treasurer of the academy, and Kenji Watanabe, the vice president. Finally, the principal of the school, Mr. Meyers entered the room. It seemed he was in a bit of a rush, his hair a bit bedraggled and his glasses were close to falling off the bridge of his nose. He greeted the four students, refitting his glasses as he makes his way to the front of the room as the student council meeting began....8:15 AM"And that's about all, thanks for coming in early. Class will start in a few minutes, meeting adjourned." The principal finished, dismissing the student council. The four of them got up and left, Kenji branching off a minute later to go to his class, leaving the remaining three walking down the hall, greeting classmates as they passed."Oh, that reminds me, your class should be getting a new student today." Daniel commented."We know, Rin's parents told us she was coming back today." Grace responded."Oh, no. I mean you're getting a transfer starting today as well.""Nani ?" Maya asked, surprise clear on her face. "This early? Why didn't they start at the beginning of the year?" "From what Mr. Meyers said, he was also a part of the hospital bombing and was pretty messed up from it. He was discharged a couple hours ago apparently and Meyers said he was adamant on coming today." Daniel shrugged his shoulders. "Almost have to admire the resilience.""What's the name?" Grace asked."Didn't say, just said he was part of the bombing. Oh, he did say he and his family came from Denver.""Oh?" Maya's ears perked up at that. "It's rare for someone that far east to move here. I hope he doesn't have too much of a culture shock."Grace peeked back at Maya's tail and ears. "Yeah, I hope not.""Well." Daniel gave a small bow to the two girls. "I should be heading to class now, good seeing you." "Goodbye.""Ja ne."Daniel walks off to his class, the duo of girls continuing their trek. Maya looked towards Grace to ask a question, but saw the black-haired girl giving her a mischievous look. "What?" Maya cutely tilted her head."He, huh? What do you think he'll be like? Dashing and handsome, maybe he'll be the cold and brooding type that's a teddy bear on the inside." Grace rambled on about the possibilities on the new transfer.Maya sighed as she continued. "Sometimes you're hopeless, Fukuyami-san.""Hey, maybe I'm not the only one that could gun for him." She brushed her bangs away, tucking them behind her ear. "He could be your potential boyfriend for all we know.""Eh!?" Maya's face instantly turned red, the steam pouring out of her ears. "Grace! Don't tease me!" She said as she harmlessly banged her fists on Grace's arm, the black-haired girl snickering at watching her friend's embarrassment.The duo arrive at their classroom, Maya's face still red from her friend's comments. Opening the door, they see a small group of students flocking around a certain person."Rin-san!"The group turn their way towards Maya, who rushed over towards the crowd. In the center, a young girl sat, nothing seemed off for the most part. Her blue eyes shining along with her glistening blonde hair were still the same as she remembered. Looking down, she noticed gauze was wrapped around a decent portion of her neck, and that she had a bandage across her cheek. Ignoring that, Maya bent down and hugged the bandaged girl."Rin-san! I'm so glad you're okay, I was so worried when they said I couldn't see you!" Maya exclaimed as she started to tear up. Grace walked up behind her."How're you feeling?" Grace asked."Grace, Maya I'm doing fine. I'm glad to see you two."Maya let go of her embrace. "What about the bandages?" She asked, wiping her tears away."Oh, the doctor said I can take them off in a week. They said the scar will be so light you'll could barely see it. More importantly, how have you been?"As their girls in the group chatted with each other, more students trickled in with more girls and some guys joining the conversation around Rin's desk. Other students talked to each other as the clock ticked nearer to class time.One student walked in and made his way over to their desk in the corner of the room next to the window. Maya peeked over that way, her ears quirking up as she sees a unfamiliar boy occupying the desk, she knows that the seat's been empty most of the year. Then, the realization hit her, this was probably the transfer student that didn't start the school year.Deciding to take a closer look, Maya studies the student closely. The first thing that stuck out to her was his hair. While hers was fluffy and a lighter caramel color that went down to just above the small of her back, his was straighter with a little bit of mess to it, the color was much darker, closer to that of a chestnut, and his hair was much shorter, hovering just above his shoulders some fringes of hair draped over his forehead. Her better eyesight also caught his light grey eyes. The feature she focused on most were a pair of scars on the boy, one small one that went horizontally across his cheek and another one on the side of his neck that was slightly larger, but not by much, she wondered if the boy got those scars from the hospital bombing.Grace called back to Maya as if she blanked out asking if she was fine, Maya turns back, saying she was fine and continuing their conversation with her friend group.___________________________________A While Earlier...7:45 AMA boy stood by near an office, with a slightly older woman standing next to him."He's late..." The boy commented in a soft and deep voice."I know..." The woman responded, her voice a bit more cheerful."Is he gonna make it?" "The principal's a busy man, give him a bit of time.""Mm, alright."The two waited for another minute, when an older man popped from around the corner, beaming when he saw the two near his office."Ms. Saito. Good morning to you.""Ohayo, Meyers-sama." The woman gave a small bow. "I brought the transfer.""Ah, it's good to finally meet you." Meyers stuck out his hand, offering a shake, which the boy reciprocated. "Let's meet in my office for a couple."The boy nodded, following Principal Meyers into the office, with Ms. Saito trailing. The principal sat behind his desk while the two sat opposite him."So, I understand that you didn't take your sophomore year due to... circumstances...""Correct, sir. However, I am capable enough to start my junior year here." The boy responded.Mr. Meyers chuckled, responding. "I know, your test results prove that, heck, you could even be given a few senior level classes. But rest assured, you will be administered into the junior class, even if certain events caused you to miss the first month." The three of them looked down at the boy's arm, covered in a bandage wrapped cast."Have you seen and reviewed your schedule?"The boy shook his head. "That's okay, let me pull it up." Meyers spent a minute on his laptop, turning it around a minute later to give the boy a look, motioning to the woman beside the boy."Ms. Saito will be your homeroom and 1st period teacher. And unlike other schools out East, you have one classroom, and the teachers change every hour unless it's gym or your science class requires a lab. School lasts from 8:30 to 2:00, with a lunch break in between. Ms. Saito's homeroom has first lunch which lasts from 11:30 to noon, and of course first lunch is free courtesy of the school unless you brought your own."As Mr. Meyers continued, the boy contemplated his new school, he was lucky enough to get in here and he'd be damned if he wasted an opportunity like this."Any questions...?""Hm?" The boy snapped out of his stupor. "Oh, nothing at the top of my head.""Good." Mr. Meyers nodded, getting up. "I just realized I'm almost late for a student council meeting, I gotta go. Let me know if you need anything else."Before the boy could respond, the principal dashed out of the room. Ms. Saito covered her chuckle, turning to the boy."Well, I'll see you in first period."The teacher got up, but the boy stopped her from leaving."Before you go" The teacher stopped in her tracks. "I want to discuss how I'll be announced to the class."Ms. Saito turned to the boy in surprise. "Why?""I think you might know why..."There was a moment of silence, until Ms. Saito figured it out. "Oh, of course." She sat back down. "We here at Hikama Academy wish to accommodate all students to any needs that need attending to..."...After the meeting, the boy walked out of the office. Ms Saito went a different way, citing a quick teacher's meeting. He took out his phone, opening up a photo of the map of the school and his class schedule.'G-14... Shit, where is that.'The boy walked around the school, finally finding it after a little struggle. He takes a quick breath in, readying himself in case he gets any stares. Walking in, he sees the class is mostly full, with students in their groups talking to each other. The biggest one in the middle that featured pretty much every girl in the classroom. Luckily, no one was paying attention to him. So, he made his way to his assigned seat, right next to the window in the back.'I've seen enough anime to know the importance of this seat.' He thought to himself.He sits down, wincing as he accidentally puts pressure on the wrong hand. Ignoring it, he looks out the window for a minute. He heard the door closing, snapping his head toward the front of the room.___________________________________ The class goes silent as Ms. Saito enters. "Ohayo. Good morning to you all."The class responds with a mix of good mornings in both languages."Today, we get two new students today. If you could raise your hands when I call you. Returning for her first class this year, Rin Takiashi." The blonde girl raises her hand cheerily."And we have a new transfer student. Please welcome Leon Meinov, who's family moved here from Denver this summer." She waved her hand toward the boy's direction.___________________________________Some classmates stared back at him as he is introduced, mostly with indifference. He raises his hand slightly just to be polite.'This is gonna be a great year for me...' Leon sarcastically thought to himself.___________________________________Maya stares at the boy, raising his arm to signal his existence. The girl also notices his other arm encased in a bright red wrapping, a cast.'Must've broken his arm in the bombing.' She looked at the boy with sympathy. ___________________________________After Leon put his hand down, Ms. Saito began the day. Starting with history, the day rolled along quickly for Leon as they stayed in their seats while the teachers switched out for every class. After a few hours of nothing but lectures, it was finally time for lunch, the students quickly rushed their way to the cafeteria. Leon was the last one out, waiting for the swarming crowd to die down.When he arrived, he stood in a slight awe at the size of the cafeteria. He felt like an ant in the large crowd of kids his age. He stood by against the wall, putting a pair of earbuds in as he waited for the lunch line to die down.___________________________________Maya and Grace sat down with her friend group at the cafeteria, bento boxes in their hands, courtesy of the school. Daniel and Kenji joined them as well, sitting across from Maya and Grace respectively, most of the girls at the table blushing at their entrance (barring Grace and Maya)." Ohayo Fukuyami-san, Kimura-san. " The two boys said in unison." Ohayo Kaichou-kun, Watanabe-kun. " The girls responded.Kenji set a bento in front of him."You're not getting lunch, Kaichou-kun?""I'll wait for the line to die down a bit..." The four began chatting of their morning so far."Hah... What a drag." Grace sighed tiredly, opening up her bento and taking out the complimentary chopsticks. "Heh, it's only Monday, Grace." Kenji chuckled."That's the point. How does a single morning feel like half a week..."'Lazy...' Her friends all thought, sweat dropping.Grace looked up, seeing the new transfer make his way toward the lunch line, albeit in a confused manner."Seems our new student's a little lost."The other three students look that way, it was hard to not see him with the bright red cast on his arm. With no line present, he made his way to the kitchen, getting into a conversation with the lunch worker that looked like it was going nowhere."Mm, might as well get my lunch." Daniel commented, getting up from his. "And as the student president of the Academy, I might as well help out a fellow student in need..."___________________________________"So I say what food I want and you put it in a box? It's not a predetermined meal?" "Correct." The young but gruff voice of the lunch worker responded. "It's Asian food with a bit of American cuisine to it.""So a Panda Express basically?" Leon asked."Huh? Never heard of it. That some sort of mobile zoo?""What? No, it's a restaurant.""Oh, well there ain't no Panda Express around here. You not from here?""No." Leon sighed. "I transferred here from Denver.""An easterner? Damn, we rarely get people like you here.""Hai," a voice came from behind Leon. Looking back, he saw a boy around his age walking up to him. Short, dirty blonde hair and the perfect face coupled with glowing blue eyes. Walking up to him, he was clearly taller by about half a head, he wouldn't be surprised if the boy was a basketball player. "I wouldn't be surprised if he has culture shock. Which is why it's my duty to help accommodate new students."A small tic mark appears on Leon's head. 'Good-looking, a decent sounding voice, a good build, and a chivalrous attitude. Damn...' Leon thought. 'The stereotypical popular guy, I wouldn't be surprised if he was on the student council as well...'"O-Ohayo, watashi no namae wa Leon desu. ""Oh, your Japanese isn't bad, Leon.""Thanks, I guess...""Obviously you must have a bit of culture shock, new city and all that." The blonde boy said as he wrapped his arm around Leon's shoulder.'As much as I appreciate the sentiment, I need some personal space.' "I've been doing alright, I think I'm used to this city by now." Leon responded, trying to hide the ever growing irk in his voice."Good, if you're having trouble with lunch options, I can help you out." 'Blondie's either ignoring my annoyance on purpose or he's dense...'"Oh, uh... I think I'm fi-.""Mr. Lewis, can we get two bento boxes, the usual." Interrupting Leon, the boy turns to the worker, ordering their lunches."Heh, coming right up prez." Lewis turned back, working on the boys' meals."Mr. Lewis is always hard on new kids, likes to give them hell. But he'll warm up to you. You said your name was Leon right?""Yeah, Leon Meinov..."'Wait...'"Prez?" He turns to the taller boy. "Don't tell me."The boy chuckled, letting his arm off of Leon and putting a hand on his chest."My name is Daniel Serra, President of the Student Council of Hikama Academy."A moment of silence passes between the two.'Kind of cringey, but I respect the effort.'"Must be my lucky day then huh, meeting such an important character on my first day of school.""Hai, I'm sorry to intrude on your privacy. But I couldn't help but notice the cast on your arm and thought I could help in any way I could.""This?" Leon lifted his covered arm up. "My arm's been broken before. I'm actually quite talented with one arm.""Still, I just want to make sure you're comfortable on your first day."'This invasion of privacy is making me a bit uncomfortable.' Leon thought.Their awkward conversation was interrupted by Mr Lewis bringing them two bento boxes. "Got yer lunch here, prez. Not harassing the new kid too much are ya? "'Yes, he kind of is...'"Just making sure he's doing well on his first day." The president responded, grabbing both boxes and handing one to Leon. "Thanks, Mr. Lewis.""Anytime prez, good day to ya.""You as well." Daniel looked toward Leon as the lunch worker walked away. "You want to sit with my group?" He motions over to a nearby table filled mostly with girls and one other boy, one of the occupants of the table was...'Is that a... If those are real then... Oh my god...'"N-no thanks, it's my first day. I wouldn't want to be a bother to people I've never met."Daniel gave a small frown at that. "Oh, well... Maybe sometime in the future?""Uhh, give it some time and I'll consider it." Leon began to walk away. "Thanks for everything, Daniel.""No problem, Leon."Leon walked out of the cafeteria as Daniel went back to his table, sitting back down.___________________________________"Looks like you hit it off with the newbie." Grace remarked."Hai, I invited him to sit with us but he declined..."'This man...' Kenji thought."Well, probably for the better, wouldn't want to overwhelm him by making him sit with the student council. And everyone else would probably be uncomfortable with a first-day transfer they don't know sitting with them." The boy continued."Besides, where would he even sit?" Maya asked "Maya could've sat on his lap.""Grace!" The redness on Maya's face grew.'You're too easy to tease' Grace smirked to herself."Give him some time, Kaichou, a new school's tough for anybody, especially half-way through high school. Most friend groups have already been made with little time to add or form new ones. See how he does in a week's time.""A..." Daniel hesitated. "Alright then..."___________________________________11:50 AMLeon throws his bento in the trash after a fulfilling meal. He had to admit, he never thought school food could taste that good.'If only there was shit like that back home.'Leon's hair blew from the slight breeze as he stood on the roof of the school alone, looking out into the distance. The skyline of the city stood tall in the background as the noon sun shined, up ahead, he could see the wall of dark clouds approaching ever so slowly and menacingly. As he stares, he thinks of his interaction with the student president.'I could tell he was being genuine and nice, but man he really needs to learn about personal space. Maybe he did that on purpose to warm me up? Or he's kind of fucking dense.'He continued in his thoughts until it turned to a specific person.'No shot that couldn't be... Let me check.'He pulled out his phone, looking something up. His eyes widened when he found the results.'I can't believe it. What are the chances.'He continued his research, looking at his phone until he peeked at the time in the corner.'Shit! I'm gonna be late!' He put his phone away as he ran back down the stairs, coursing his way through the crowd as he made his way back to the classroom.Upon returning, Leon entered the class. Nobody batted an eye at his entrance as he went back to his seat in the corner.He snuck a few looks towards the center, making sure his eyes were correct.'Look's real from here.'Ignoring it, we waits until the next teacher comes. The classes begin again as the day mulls onward....2:30 PM"Class dismissed!"'Thank God...'The students quickly trickle out of the classroom. Leon followed the swarm as he squeezed his way through. Making his way out of the school he walks his way up the street, following the slowly thinning crowd through the street. He listens into the multiple conversations happening around him. Their Monday experience, plans for the coming week, potential hangouts. He sighed to himself, a small part of him wishing he could be a part of those conversations, but deep down he knew how little chance there was of him doing that. He was at a disadvantage after all, coming into a new school with less than two years left to make his mark. At the end of the day, he was fine with it, he knew the choices he made and the consequences that came with it, but he wouldn't change a single thing over the past year.He makes his way onto the next shuttle, squeezing his way through. After the shuttle departs the station, he puts his earbuds in, listening to the music and the muffled conversation of the passengers close to him as he stares in the distance, the dark clouds almost above the city.(1.1) Yuusha City
