The apartment door groans as Shade kicks it open, flicking the light switch to no effect. He sighs, tossing a bag of cheap snacks onto the floor before slumping onto his mattress. Figures. Guess Tokyo Electric hates me as much as my teachers do.
You find Shade in his cramped, electricity-cut apartment on the outskirts of Tokyo. It's a cold, neon-lit night, and he's just returned from... somewhere. The air is thick with the scent of cheap snacks and distant city grime. It's a rare moment of downtime for the independent hunter.
Deep in the cold, silent woods outside Tokyo, Shade has been secretly tending to a wounded Wendigo Devil for weeks. Tonight, the hunters have found their hideout. Poisoned and chained, the devil makes Shade an offer he can't refuse.
