FTF UNIVERSE: EPISODE I
WHEN THE RIFT BLED THROUGH THE BLOCK
Location: Sector 4-R, Zone 4 – Atlanta
Event Code: The Fourth Fold
Entity Phase: SHINKURO – Form II (The Cracked Truth)
[OPENING SCENE]
The sky didn’t open with lightning.
It peeled.
Like skin.
A shimmer hovered over an abandoned MARTA tunnel near the heart of Zone 4. No cameras. No satellites.
Locals called it The Bleed — a stretch of land where the air felt bent and the silence hit too deep.
At exactly 03:17 AM, a low-pressure wave cracked the asphalt.
And something stepped through the Rift.
It wasn’t born.
It was already formed.
Already broken.
Already listening.
[BLACKSITE LOG – KAISO UNIT 7 TRANSMISSION FRAGMENT]
“It’s not walking… it’s dragging. That’s not fire — that’s… burning memory.”
“Pull the drone. Pull the drone back—”
“It doesn’t have eyes. But it sees us.”

Entity: SHINKURO
Form: II – The Cracked Truth
Height: 376 ft
Threat Class: Ω-Class (Riftborn, Cognitive-Anomalous)
Its skeletal body dragged itself like a ruin given purpose.
Cracked mask. Black bone.
Not roaring. Whispering.
People across the block woke screaming.
Some relived funerals. Others re-heard overdoses.
All felt something watching — but not from above.
From inside.
[CIVILIAN TESTIMONY: UNVERIFIED]
“It knew me.
Not my name — my worst night.”
“It showed me… who I’d be if I never got clean.”
[ENTITY ABILITIES — CONFIRMED]

Dr. Nyra Bellamy – Psychic Analyst, KAISO
“You think that thing became Shinkuro?
Nah. It entered as that. Form II wasn’t a mutation.
It was a decision.”
“This ain’t evolution.
This is restraint.”
[LORE ADDENDUM – FTF NOTES]
This is not his final form.
The public believes this is Shinkuro.
FTF knows: He only showed what the world could barely handle.
