    Summary

    I return to Shinjuku knowing it remembers me. Nearly seven decades after my death, I stand in the ruins of a place that once took everything from me and feel history tighten its grip again. When an old acquaintance recognizes me—not by name, but by instinct—I’m forced to decide whether this life will begin with violence or with truth. From there, memory pulls me backward to a late summer night long before the world broke: sneaking out of the Zen’in compound, running into ghosts that still breathe, and spending stolen hours with the man who made the present feel survivable. This chapter marks the beginning of a story told in reverse—where endings bleed into beginnings, and survival is never the same thing as living.
