Urgent strokes of crimson slice through twilight's brooding tones, embodying the pulse of lives abruptly altered. In sharp contrasts and blurred bounds, the cityscape enacts its own quiet drama of theft and loss, where stories converge in shadowed whispers."
The Vibe
"Tokyo weeps with silent grief; fortunes stolen, lives lost amidst flames. Yet, beneath somber skies, hope flickers in a classroom's promise and night races. A city teeters between despair and dreams, enfolded in poignant whispers of a trembling heart."
