🌑 CHAPTER 1 — SCENE 1

"The Outcast Renjiro"

---

🏫 Hoshigawa High School…

A prestigious academy…

From outside — a symbol of discipline, order, and reputation…

But the truth inside was different…

👉 Here, strength was the only rule

👉 Weak students were just background noise

👉 And bullying had become a silent system

---

🌑 SCENE START

YUTO (walking with his gang, laughing):

"Look at him… coming in slow motion."

"Not the final boss of the school… he's the final problem."

---

👉 Renjiro is walking alone…

---

💥 ATTACK DROP

THUD!

DAICHI:

"Stop right there."

"You've walked enough for today."

---

Renjiro crashes into the wall.

His bag falls to the ground.

---

😈 HIROTO ENTERS

👉 No one in Hoshigawa ever stood against Hiroto… and walked away fine.

Hiroto (cold smile):

"Hey… listen, fat guy."

"How many times have I told you…"

"Don't even show up near my Miyu-san."

---

Hiroto (stepping closer):

"You don't listen… or you don't understand?"

"Or is it both?"

---

💀 YUTO (laughing):

"Boss, we should install GPS in him…"

"Because he always ends up in the wrong place."

---

🧱 DAICHI:

"This fat guy touched Miyu-san's hand…"

"I'm thinking… maybe I should cut off his hand instead."

---

😈 HIROTO — PRESSURE OF INSULT

Hiroto (low voice):

"What do you think?"

"You and Miyu… are equal?"

---

"You're not even worth the dust on her shoes."

---

Hiroto (final insult tone):

"You are a useless… slow… disgusting mistake."

---

💥 RENJIRO (shaking, but real):

"I just… wanted to talk to her."

"I'm also… a human being."

---

💥 HIROTO SNAP

Hiroto (sudden anger):

"Human??"

"YOU??"

---

👉 SMASH!

A kick straight to the face.

Renjiro falls down.

---

🦵 BEATDOWN CONTINUES

YUTO (laughing):

"Get up… the drama isn't over yet."

---

👉 Kick

👉 Punch

👉 Push

---

DAICHI:

"He even needs permission just to fall."

---

YUTO:

"He came here to be a hero… now he's floor decoration."

---

Renjiro's body is on the ground…

breathing heavy…

---

😈 FINAL WARNING

Hiroto (standing over him):

"Listen carefully…"

"If you show up near Miyu-san again…"

---

Hiroto (cold finish):

"I'll remind you…"

"That you're not even fit to exist here."

---

👉 turns away

Hiroto:

"Let's go."

---

🌑 END SCENE

All three walk away…

---

YUTO (from distance):

"Next time come with a lighter body!"

And the air was silent.

👉 Renjiro Hoshino lies on the ground.

His 150kg body… for the first time, doesn't feel strong — it feels broken.

---

💭 Renjiro:

"Why… am I lying here?"

"Why… do I always fall?"

---

His fingers try to grip the ground…

but there is no strength.

"Am I… a burden?"

---

💥 EMOTIONAL BREAK POINT

---

👉 For a moment…

it feels like he is glued to the ground.

👉 For a second… the ground beneath him felt like it was responding…

---

🌪️ WIND SHIFT

Wind suddenly rises…

leaves move…

streetlight steadies…

---

💭 Renjiro FINAL THOUGHT:

"I won't fall every time…"

"Next time…"

"…I will stop it."

"My name… is Renjiro Hoshino."

---

"I used to live in Osaka…"

"A city where life moves fast… and those left behind are forgotten."

---

"Now I am here… at Hoshigawa High School…"

"A place where every face smiles… but behind every smile hides a war."

---

"But…"

"A part of me still remains there…"

"Where everything first broke… and also began."

---

Renjiro (soft pause):

"My grandfather's name was Kanji Hoshino."

---

"People called him a legend."

"A sumo wrestler whom everyone respected by bowing."

---

"But to me…"

"He was not just a legend."

"He was my… everything."

---

"He is no longer in this world."

---

"No voice…"

"No hand on my head…"

"Only an empty space remains."

---

Renjiro (slow emotional build):

"When I was 5 years old…"

"I saw him for the first time."

---

"He stood in the center of the ring…"

"And it felt like the entire world bowed beneath his feet."

---

"That day…"

"For the first time…"
