A gentle breeze blows through central Hamanatsu, cooling the air just a fraction as the noon sun shines down from above.  All around the town, people are going about their lives, shopping, laughing, playing, working.  Everything seems perfectly normal. Everything except for the almost tangible tension floating about.  Whilst everyone goes about their daily lives, their is a certain...unease that permeates the air.  Like a blanket, it coats everything, unseen but ever present.  This unease is little more than the calm before the storm, a prelude to the events that are to come, which will later be dubbed, "The Hamanatsu Incident"<br/><br/>The end of class bell resounds throughout Tenjo high school, much to the relief of the weary students. Paying attention is that much harder on hot days like today.  The usual cacophony of voices and conversations seems a bit muted today, but otherwise everything seems normal for now.  "Finally," Mada mutters from his desk.  Not wanting to brave the crowds in the halls, he reaches into his bag and pulls out an apple to munch on. He takes a big bite out of it as he looks out the window into the courtyard below. Even though his senses are on edge, it doesn't translate to his demeanor at all. To the untrained eye, he might as well be totally unconcerned.  From the corner of the classroom, Meiyo watches the other students, particularly Mara and Ruri.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Dieter finds himself in front of a cafe.  This cafe happens to sit on top of a hill with a superb view of the city. It also happens to rest smack dab in the center of an area where the Reiatsu is really thick.  In places it seems as if the energy was gathered and condensed and at others it seems to have just accumulated naturally.  Most of the people seem to not notice it, as expected, but a few people covertly analyze the area, not wanting to seem...unusual.<br/><br/>Juma on the other hand is on his way home from a grocery shopping trip.  His abode is not far from the store, so he walked today. Little does he know his stroll is about to be interrupted quite suddenly.  As he walks down the sidewalk a girl careens around the corner of a building. She's bawling and making a big racket as she runs blindly, tears streaming down both sides of her face.  Unable to see where she's going, she runs smack dab into Juma, causing her to fall back onto the sidewalk. This only causes her to cry even more.  From his position, Juma is able to see that she has a chain sticking out of her chest, with only a few links left on it.  Conveniently, there is no one around at the moment.<br/><br/>As the Senkaimon behind Daigo closes, he finds himself standing in a small baseball diamond. The diamond seems to be part of a local park, with a few people and their pets roaming around happily. The park sits west of the city's center and just north of one of the major highways.
