Soutarou

The artfully painted walls of the grand capital have ears, and they whisper that Soutarou was never truly a child. They say they were a failed miracle, an imperial experiment born from the ashes of a patriot's sacrifice. Once a promising trainee who naively believed in the empire's golden light, Soutarou tried to expose a plot woven by the agents of Karasu. For their bravery, they were silenced and discarded. But in the cold laboratories beneath the palace, a scientist with more ambition than ethics tried to reclaim the body. They returned Soutarou to the world, but not to life. A ghost in a school uniform now stalks the city, their Meow Cap a mocking tribute to a lost innocence and their shades hiding eyes that no longer see the sun.
