Not every story is told in the moment it happens. Some moments hide in the background. A conversation that was never heard. A decision someone made when nobody was watching. Volume 1.5 dives into those missing pieces. Side stories, hidden scenes, perspectives that reveal what was really happening behind the events of Volume 1. These moments may seem small. But some of them will change how you see the story. *Recommended reading after Volume 1.*
