The whirring motor sound emanates from an unusual contraption. A linear aluminum-rail system is attached to the wall, a vertical glint of silver adrift in an expanse of white.

FADE IN:A single plume of smoke rises at the edge of a steep, rocky cliff. We ZOOM OUT to see the land in the valley below, a camp of tents smoldering and decimated. The people below are gathering their things: a torn Goku T-shirt, a replica of Killua’s skateboard, now snapped in half, a giant Snorlax plushie missing a foot. NARRATORThe Black Fandom came close to being decimated by the Ashamed, the Normies, and, perhaps the most dangerous of all—the Gatekeeper.
