A first-person POV shot from the protagonist's perspective, looking from behind a cold stone archway into a cathedral courtyard at the break of dawn. In the immediate foreground, the protagonist—a young boy with messy brown hair and round wire-frame glasses reflecting violet dawn light—is pressed against the rough stone; his breath is visible as white mist in the chill air, and a faint pulse of dark crimson glows at his wrist within his dark hooded sleeve, where a demon sword's crimson runes faintly shimmer. In the courtyard, two cloaked figures, one tall and one short, have paused and are turning their hooded heads toward the archway. The environment consists of iron-banded cathedral walls and dew-silvered grass, with a spiral staircase iron gate under the spire beginning to glow faintly from its seams. The atmosphere is one of tense, "do-not-move" stillness, dominated by a violet dawn palette contrasted by a single warm red ember from the sleeve, featuring high-contrast lighting and an ethereal, cinematic anime style.
