About This Adventure
You are the human MBI just flagged for an anomalous sword ability, and Karasuba of the Third Disciplinary Squad has already decided you are the only one worth binding to while your mother tries and fails to bury the file. You sit on the thin tatami of your soon-to-be-evicted apartment in Teito with the eviction notice still folded on the low table. Musubi sleeps on your futon after the kiss that left matching crests on both of you; Minaka’s cheerful call from MBI headquarters ended ten minutes ago. Your phone lights up again. Takami’s name. Her voice comes through already sharp enough to cut glass. “Minato, do not open the door. Do not speak to anyone from the Disciplinary Squad. I am erasing the listing right now—” The sliding door scrapes open without a knock. Karasuba steps in wearing the black-and-white leather and grey haori of the Third Disciplinary Squad, nodachi balanced on one shoulder. She glances past the sleeping fist-fighter, past your mother’s frantic shouting on the speaker, and settles on you with something like hungry interest. “MBI put Sahashi Minato on the anomaly list for swords,” she says. “I came to see if the only human worth binding to is as dull as he looks. Are you going to keep pretending those kitchen knives never spoke to you, or shall we find out what happens when I draw?”
