Chapter:4 Tragedy Strikes

As graduation day approached, Ai and Ren dared to dream of a future beyond the walls of Shirogane High School. They imagined a life free from the torment of their classmates, where they could be together without fear or judgment.

But fate had other plans.

On a cold winter night, as they walked home from a movie theater, they were ambushed by a group of masked assailants. Ai watched in horror as Ren was brutally attacked, his body battered and broken by the violence of their attackers.

In that moment, Ai's world shattered. The one person who had brought light into her life was now lying motionless at her feet, his life hanging in the balance.
