Opening scene

>[Day 1 | Location: Kagutsuchi Tactical Academy, Heartlock Evaluation Hall] *Rain claws down the armored glass ceiling above Kagutsuchi Tactical Academy.* *Beyond the fortress windows, Tokyo Bay glows an unnatural blue. The Pacific Rift pulses beneath the black water like a wound refusing to close. Far below, underwater launch rails hum as giant silhouettes sleep inside their hangars.* *You stand in the center of the Heartlock Evaluation Hall.* *Around you, hundreds of adult pilot candidates, elite cadets, military observers, livestream drones, and academy officers watch from tiered balconies. Their uniforms are polished. Their smiles are sharp. Their eyes measure you like a weapon that has not been priced yet.* >TRANSFER PILOT: You >STATUS: UNCLAIMED >FAMILY REGISTRY: NON-ELITE >OFFICIAL HEARTLOCK PARTNER: NONE >EVALUATION PRIORITY: LOW *A ripple of quiet laughter moves through the hall.* *Then the top balcony doors open.* *Tsukino Reika enters first.* *Long pearl-black hair. Lavender eyes. White-and-black elite pilot suit. The Rank 1 female ace of Kagutsuchi walks with the cold arrogance of someone born above the scoreboard.* *Beside her, Kisaragi Ren smiles like a prince carved from a knife.* *Ash-gold hair. Amber eyes. Black officer jacket. Red pilot suit. Reika’s official Heartlock partner. The academy’s perfect male ace.* *Their paired Kishin Frames appear on the giant screen behind them.* >SHIRAYUKI-KAI + HOMURA-CROWN >PUBLIC SYNC RATE: 94.8% >ACADEMY SYMBOL PAIR Ren’s smile tilts. "That is the transfer candidate?" *Reika’s gaze lands on you without warmth.* "He looks ordinary." *The laughter returns, softer this time, because everyone wants to hear whether you will break or bow.* *From the lower engineer deck, Nanase Miu leans over the railing with a lollipop between her lips, pink hair clipped with tiny wrench pins. Her honey-brown eyes are fixed on the scanner readout instead of your face.* "Eh?" *Her fingers stop moving.* "That number is not supposed to twitch yet." *The chamber lights dim.* >HEARTLOCK BASELINE SCAN: BEGINNING >EMOTIONAL FREQUENCY MAPPING: ACTIVE >KISHIN FRAME CROSS-RESONANCE: SEALED *Cold neural mist rolls across the floor. The circular scanner beneath your boots lights up in layers of blue, white, and gold.* *For three seconds, nothing happens.* *Then the entire hall screams red.* >WARNING >UNAUTHORIZED FRAME RESPONSE DETECTED *Deep beneath the hall, something massive shifts.* *A sound rolls through the academy foundation.* *Metal waking.* *The first screen fractures into static.* >SHIRAYUKI-KAI: RESPONSE DETECTED >SYNC SPIKE: 41% >CAUSE: TRANSFER PILOT PROXIMITY *The laughter dies instantly.* *Reika’s expression hardens.* Ren’s smile disappears. "What did you do?" *Before anyone can answer, another alarm cuts through the hall.* >PIPPI-RAIJIN: RESPONSE DETECTED >HEARTBEAT-NOVA: RESPONSE DETECTED >KUROTSUKI: RESPONSE DETECTED >ONIKIBA: RESPONSE DETECTED >BENITSURU-EN: RESPONSE DETECTED >MURASAME-GHOST: RESPONSE DETECTED >HAKUOU-IN: RESPONSE DETECTED >AME-NO-MADORI: RESPONSE DETECTED >HOMURA-CROWN: RESPONSE DETECTED *Every official pair listed on the academy board flickers.* *Every perfect relationship ranking drops into diagnostic mode.* >PUBLIC SYNC STABILITY: COMPROMISED >PARTNER OWNERSHIP MATRIX: UNSTABLE >NEW DESIGNATION GENERATED *The giant Heartlock Board goes black.* *Then one line appears in white.* >[MULTI-BOND RIFT COMPATIBILITY DETECTED] *The rain above the glass ceiling turns sideways as the academy’s external shields activate.* *Somewhere below Tokyo Bay, an alarm answers from the Rift.* >RIFTBORN MOVEMENT DETECTED >CLASS II SIGNATURE APPROACHING OUTER GRID >ALL ELITE PAIRS PREPARE FOR EMERGENCY SORTIE *Kurobane Saika steps from the command balcony, wine-red hair falling over one shoulder, emerald eyes narrowing with sudden interest.* "How interesting." *Her voice is calm, but every officer near her has gone pale.* "A transfer with no partner just made ten god-machines look at him." *Reika takes one step forward.* *SHIRAYUKI-KAI’s icon spikes again.* >SHIRAYUKI-KAI SYNC RESPONSE: 48% >OFFICIAL PARTNER INTERFERENCE DETECTED *Ren turns his head slowly toward her.* "Reika." *For the first time since entering the hall, Reika does not look at him.* *She looks at you.* "I said he looked ordinary." *Her lavender eyes sharpen like ice over a blade.* "I may have been wrong." *Nanase Miu’s grin spreads from the engineer deck, bright and dangerous.* "Ehehe. Transfer-kun, you just broke every couple in school." *The floor opens beneath the evaluation ring, revealing a descending path toward the emergency cockpit bay.* >EMERGENCY COMMAND: >TRANSFER PILOT You MUST BE TEMPORARILY ASSIGNED TO A KISHIN FRAME *Ren steps closer, voice low enough to cut.* "If you enter her cockpit, transfer boy, understand what that means." *The sirens deepen.* *Below the academy, ten sleeping god-machines begin to wake.* >SELECT TEMPORARY HEARTLOCK DEPLOYMENT: >SHIRAYUKI-KAI | HOMURA-CROWN | PIPPI-RAIJIN | BENITSURU-EN | KUROTSUKI | ONIKIBA | HEARTBEAT-NOVA | HAKUOU-IN | AME-NO-MADORI | MURASAME-GHOST *The entire academy waits for what you do next.*
