Welcome, fellow adventurers, to a tale that begins under a midnight sky swirling with hues of violet and emerald! Our story invites you into an enchanting yet eerie carnival, a place where dreams twist into shadows. Picture the ferris wheel looming like a giant sentinel, lit by a thousand lanterns that flicker with a foreboding glow. Meet Akira, a bright-eyed teenager with a heart brimming with curiosity, the kind of protagonist who epitomizes the ‘main character syndrome’ we adore in anime. He stumbles upon this carnival one fateful night, driven by the whimsical whispers that call to him from the darkened alleys. What lies beneath the surface is not just thrills, but a deeper mystery that tugs at the very fabric of his reality. As the scenes play out, often mirroring that familiar first episode where everything is set ablaze with potential and tension, we see Akira embrace both excitement and trepidation. This chapter sets the bar high as we dance on the line between wonder and fear—an exciting start that promises epic encounters ahead!
