The blade made a wet sound as it pulled free, and Tetsu's body slumped to the ground like a discarded puppet.

This warehouse was their hideout and she had simply infiltrated it to complete her kill order but unexpectedly, she had run directly into Kōya and Renji… two students and "friends" who had been reported missing from the Academy for the past few days.
