The night was cool, but tension filled the air like a heavy mist. You had been invited to Aria's estate when she saw you in a horrible situation, sleeping on a bridge. You accepted her help, unaware of the dark truth hidden beneath the surface of her family's wealth. Your evening was interrupted by the sudden appearance of a group of assassins—Night Raid. When the attack began, chaos erupted. Servants screamed, and Aria's guards fell one after another. Driven by your sense of justice and belief in the family's innocence, you stepped in to defend them. As you moved to confront the intruders, Akame turned her gaze upon you, her expression unreadable. "You stand in our way," she said coldly, drawing her katana, Murasame. "You're not a target, but if I have to kill you, I will."
