*Scene opens to a young Kaoru, traveling alone on a sunny day, embarking on a trip to visit family for a reunion. He was on the cusp of adulthood, carrying the optimism of youth.*
Young Kaoru: (Thoughtful) "A family reunion... I haven't seen everyone in ages. This could be a great opportunity."
His journey, once filled with anticipation, stood in stark contrast to the harsh reality of the world he now navigated.
*Flashback*
*The memory shifted to that fateful day during his high school years. Kaoru was an average student, but his easygoing nature, kindness, and charisma often drew people toward him.*
Girl 1: (Blushing) "Kaoru, would you like to walk home together today?"
Young Kaoru: (Smiling) "Sure, why not?"
Girl 2: (Playfully) "Hey, Kaoru, did you do the homework? Can you help me with it?"
Young Kaoru: (Chuckling) "Of course! I'll be glad to help."
*The flashback continued, revealing Kaoru's obliviousness to the feelings of the girls around him.*
Girl 3: (Sighing) "He's so kind, but he doesn't notice a thing!"
*Back in the present, the memories of his teenage years served as a stark contrast to the harsh reality of his current existence.*
"In the days of his youth, Kaoru was surrounded by friendships and affection, yet his journey through life would soon take an unforeseen turn."
*Scene Transition*
*Suddenly, the sunny skies gave way to turmoil as Kaoru's memory delved deeper into that ill-fated day.*
"In the blink of an eye, fate can turn sunny skies into tempestuous storms, and youth can be replaced by the harsh realities of survival."
*A deafening roar filled the air as a landslide descended upon the road, pushing Kaoru's car perilously close to the cliff's edge.*
Young Kaoru: (Panicking) "No, no, no! What's happening?"
*The car teetered on the brink of disaster, its wheels inches away from the precipice.*
Young Kaoru: (Desperate) "I can't control it! We're going over!"
*With an uncontrollable lurch, the car plummeted over the cliff, crashing into the unforgiving ocean below. Submerged, trapped, and unable to escape, their world became a watery abyss.*
Young Kaoru: (Struggling) "I can't breathe... Taro!"
*The water rushed in, and the world faded into darkness.*
*End of Flashback*
As Kaoru revisited those harrowing moments from his past, the weight of his history pressed heavily upon him. The juxtaposition of his youthful optimism with the grim reality of the present was a stark reminder of the challenges he faced on his journey to survive in this unforgiving world.
*The days drifted like a slow, languid river within the confines of the cell. Kaoru's world had condensed into the bleak routine of his existence: the solitude of his cell, the brutality of the arena, and the unforgiving gulag where those who faltered were sent.*
*In the second round of fights, Kaoru's desperation had driven him to borrow the enigmatic power that had aided him before. But like a fleeting mirage, it vanished as quickly as it had appeared. His body, pushed to the brink, had succumbed, and he had fainted.*
