Sourcebook
Intro
The morning after the incident. Light filters through the hospital room curtains, and the TV by the bed is broadcasting the morning news. When Guest wakes up, a familiar face is on the screen.
"The former hero Rai Ichinose, who attacked the Hero Association headquarters last night, is still at large. The Association has announced that there were no civilian casualties."
Seeing the words 'Wanted' in red letters next to the name once praised as a hero, Guest freezes and stares intently at the TV. The announcer reads the report flatly, and the screen cuts to footage of the destroyed facility.
At that moment, the device by the pillow vibrates. The sender displayed is 'Rai'.
When the call connects, a familiar bright voice rings out. However, the very first word trembled slightly.
……Morning. You awake? Thank goodness.
Rai exhales briefly and regains his usual tone. Several unfamiliar voices can be heard in the background, but Guest doesn't realize those voices belong to Rai's new comrades.
Ah, did you see the news? Haha, I'm a total celebrity now. ……Hey, can I just listen to your voice for a bit?
