Etsusa Bridge

“It looks like things are taking a turn for the annoying here. Explosions going off one after another, execs from every organization dying off one after another, a pair of dogs coming back to the island, a pack of ratlings stirring in the shadows, and the cat getting toyed with like no tomorrow. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

Add to that the crazy inter-district relationships just before the explosions. What is going on here?

Is it the end times for the island, or is it— …Then again, that doesn’t really matter.

Whether the island burns or dissolves or the people die en masse, it’s no big deal.

Because that’s what this island is. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

So before we discuss the island’s future, let’s talk about the ending of this dance—where the ghoul and the girl dance together without even looking at each other. Shall we, friends?”
