But something is not always what one person really thought to be, lives outside that becomes he or their freedom was another hell that he could even described not by words, but through what he had witnessed by his own. Life that somehow what's not he had been always awaits him anymore, just abandonment from his parents, his sister, and his brother who had abandoned him, the one who leads him into the hell in the first places, once he knew, the World is not a same places as what he think and the only thing awaits him is another hell for him.

The life that he could never escape, nor he meant to, even though the freedom that one person he loved had sacrifice for and no matter what it is, it's always be the same as a prison. All things repeated a same cycle, all things that repeated a same tragedy, and it's all gonna happen again.

Tokio... or his real name as Akira Kuryuu will start his true journey, his true path that not something he would called himself as a Knight Hero, but something that could become a greatest fear not just to his brother, but to the World.
