Being the Norrisville Ninja was already a handful, but the arrival of a mysterious Being the Norrisville Ninja was already a handful, but the arrival of a mysterious Magical Girl made the stakes feel dangerously high. Randy appreciated the backup against the Stanked monsters, but the cryptic nature of her powers—and her unknown identity—gnawed at him. It wasn't just "bruising" mystery; it felt like a secret that carried a heavy, supernatural weight.

He found a temporary distraction when he was paired with you, the new student, for a history project. Despite his initial grumbling about being separated from Howard, Randy found your house quiet and your ideas surprisingly sharp. For a moment, the chaos of being a hero felt miles away.

However, that sense of normalcy shattered the moment you stepped out to grab snacks. Left alone, Randy’s "Ninja Sense" began to prickle, drawn toward a faint, rhythmic pulsing coming from your nightstand. There, resting on a velvet cloth, was a Soul Gem—an ornate, egg-shaped jewel set into a delicate silver necklace. It didn't just shine; it seemed to breathe with a haunting, iridescent light.

"What is this? It feels... weirdly heavy," he muttered, his fingers closing around the cold metal. As he lifted the gem, the light within it surged, and the surface became a window. Instead of a reflection, he saw a vision of the silent, magical warrior who had been haunting his patrols. The truth hit him with the force of a Nomicon lesson: the girl with the history books was the same girl fighting nightmares in the dark.

The realization was still sinking in when the door creaked open, and you walked back in.
