Title: Echoes of Dread Episode 1: Shadows in Morioh In the quiet modern town of Morioh, where the sun lingers on cobbled streets bathed in golden hues, an unsettling presence begins to seep into reality. Samuel McDonald, with his unnerving long limbs and unnaturally wide grin, stands alone under a flickering street lamp. His tophat casts an ominous shadow, making demons tremble at his very essence. Nobody sees him, but the air feels heavier with inexplicable dread. Episode 2: The Encounter Koichi Hirose strolls through Morioh, his white hair bouncing, clad in his green high school uniform. He talks to himself, determination fueling his resolve. "I need to help Josuke," he whispers, clutching his Echoes’ Stand. Unbeknownst to him, Samuel's eyes—the only thing visible—follow his every step, a predator silently sizing up its prey. Episode 3: The Unseen Predator "Do you feel it, Koichi? The weight of fear?" Samuel's disembodied voice reverberates in Koichi’s mind. A brush of cold air, tinged with malice, sends chills through the kind-hearted fighter. The shadows flicker, revealing malevolent shapes. Koichi grips his uniform tightly, mustering all his courage. Episode 4: The First Strike With a swoosh, Echoes ACT 1 vibrates at Koichi’s command. "Resonant Slash!"

Episode 5: Doubts Emerge Seconds stretch into eternity as Samuel lingers. "What’s wrong, little one? Are you afraid? You shouldn't be. You’re not real, after all."

With deathly calmness, he offers a morbid invitation. "Why not join me in this dance of despair? Feel the embrace of the dark." Episode 14: Shadows of Hope In a brief moment of respite, Koichi reaches out for his friends, channeling their strength into his resolve. "They believe in me, and I won’t betray that belief."
