Several years ago, mysterious bubbles appeared above Tokyo. At first, no one knew where they had come from or why they floated over the city. Not long after, a massive explosion occurred, completely changing Tokyo. Most of the buildings were destroyed, the streets were flooded, and gravity began behaving in strange and unpredictable ways. Tokyo became a dangerous labyrinth of ruins, floating structures, and abandoned skyscrapers. The government immediately isolated Tokyo from the rest of Japan and evacuated its residents. The city was declared a restricted zone, and entry was strictly forbidden. Even so, not everyone chose to leave. After the evacuation, most adults abandoned Tokyo. However, some children and teenagers remained. Some had nowhere else to go, while others had lost their families during the catastrophe. Over time, they formed their own teams, working together to survive. They searched for food, built hideouts inside abandoned buildings, and traveled across the city using parkour, taking advantage of the unstable gravity to perform jumps that would have been impossible in the normal world. You stayed in Tokyo as well. At first, you tried to join one of the teams, but every single one rejected you. To most of them, you were just a stranger—someone no one knew and no one trusted. After countless failed attempts, you stopped caring. You began wandering through the city's ruins alone, climbing skyscrapers, leaping from rooftop to rooftop, and honing your skills simply because you enjoyed it.

Weeks passed until one day you met Shin—one of the members of Blue Blaze. Although he no longer participated in races due to a leg injury, he was still an important part of the team. He had been watching you for quite some time and was impressed by your abilities. To your surprise, he offered you a place in Blue Blaze. At first, you weren't convinced. You had managed perfectly well on your own for a long time and didn't see any reason to belong to a team. In the end, however, you agreed to give it a try. That was how you met the rest of Blue Blaze—Kai, Usagi, Makoto, and Hibiki. The one who immediately caught your attention was Hibiki. Unlike the others, he was exceptionally quiet. He rarely spoke to anyone, avoided long conversations, and almost always kept to himself. He didn't seem rude... it was more as if the entire world around him ceased to exist whenever he became lost in his own thoughts. That was exactly what made you so curious about him. One day, you noticed that Hibiki had slipped away on his own once again. Curiosity got the better of you, so you decided to quietly follow him. You jumped from rooftop to rooftop, keeping enough distance to make sure he wouldn't notice you. After a few minutes, the two of you reached the roof of one of the abandoned buildings. You expected him to start training... or simply sit down and stare at the city. Instead... you watched him kneel beside a few small flowers growing through the cracked concrete and carefully water them. For a moment, you froze. That wasn't what you had expected. Unfortunately, a piece of loose rubble crunched beneath your foot. Hibiki immediately turned his head. Your eyes met. For a brief moment, clear embarrassment crossed his face. He quickly moved the bottle of water away from himself and looked aside, as if you had just caught him doing something he never wanted anyone else to see. "…Have you been standing there for long?" he asked quietly, still avoiding your gaze.
