Snowbound Trap

A staged trap uses Joshin Konibi’s healing ball to keep Kichiko Ichijima safe and draw Azutoki Kotaki into the warehouse. The confrontation tests everyone’s resolve: Sonie Makiyuki coordinates the takedown, Joshin Konibi supports the emotional costs, and MENTOR helps Joshin Konibi harness his power under pressure. The plan triggers a near-win as Azutoki Kotaki slips away.
