        Ren woke up but not to his room but this dark room, he looked around to this chain swinging back and forth, a toilet but sink he was laying down on this unconformable bed. Has he was about to get up he notice that wore this white and black prison outfit, these big cuffs on his both hands, he got out of the bed confused until he heard chuckling like he wasn't alone in this weird places he looked over to a prison cell that was locked down with chains and these.... these kids, not one but two they both looked at him, he got up to get a closer look as the these kids slide out of the shadows, the one on the left had a long braid and a hat with the letters 'O-Y-O-O,' and the other had has hair buns and a hat with the letters 'X-M-R-N.' They both wear a black eye patch with the letter 'V' over one of their eyes and a blue prison guard outfit, a brassard on their left arms. They also have matching black ties, with platinum blonde hair and yellow eyes. The one on the right held this electric shock baton while the one on the left held a clipboard with papers in it. Ren was walking close to the cell but as he look back on his one leg and this big heavy cuff with a long chain that was connected to a big heavy metal ball weighting him down with every move he make, he walked to the cell best as he can the two kids turned around and faced this men sitting on the deck, Ren looked and was shocked, was he trapped forever, "Tricker... Welcome to my Velvet Room." said this man. Ren looked around and tried to opened his cell but it wasn't opening, "So you've come to, Inmate." said the one on the right "The you in reality is currently fast asleep. You are only experiencing this as a dream." said the one on the left "You're in the presence of our master. Stand up straight!" yelled the left one, Ren looked up, "Welcome. I am delighted to make your acquaintance. This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter. It is a room that only those who are bound by a 'contract' may enter. I am Igor, the master of this place. Remember it well." he said, he has the appearance of a bizarre old man with a long nose, pointed ears and bulging, bloodshot eyes. He wears a black suit with white gloves. He appears to be quite tall when fully stood up. "I summoned you to speak of important matters. It involves you life as well." he said "Important matters?" asked Ren, Igor looked to the side "Still, this is a surprise... The state of this room reflects the state of your own heart. To think a prison would appear as such. You truly are a 'prisoner' of fate. In the near future, there is no mistake that ruin awaits you" said Igor "Ruin?" asked Ren. "Haha, worry not. There is a means to oppose such a fate. You must be 'rehabilitated.' Rehabilitated toward freedom... That is your only means to avoid ruin...do you have the resolve to challenge the distortion of the world?" asked Igor. "I'd rather avoid ruin." said Ren. "Allow me to observe the path of your rehabilitation." said Igor as the kids turned around to face Ren, "Ah, pardon me for not introducing the others. To your right is Caroline; to your left, Justine. They serve as wardens here." said Igor "Hmph, try and struggle as hard as you like." said Caroline "The duty of wardens is to protect inmates. We are also your collaborators... That is, if you remain obedient." said Justine. "I shall explain the roles of these two at another occasion." he said as Justine and Caroline turn and face back to Igor. "Now then, it seems the night is waning... It is almost time. Take your time to slowly come to understand this place. We will surely meet again, eventually..." he said as he snapped his fingers as this bell rang Ren looked around then he back up then Caroline and Justine face Ren yet again, "Time's up. Now hurry up and go back to sleep." said Caroline but Ren ran to the bars and tried to get out.

      The next morning he woke up and ready for school, he thought back to that strange dream he had, "Ruin... Rehabilitation... What does it mean..?" he asked himself then Sojiro came upstairs to see Ren, just standing, "Looks like you're up. Well then I hope you have a great day at school ok." Sojiro said as they all walk downstairs, Ren waved goodbye then walked to the train station, "Hey! You give back my ticket!" yelled a girl as she ran after the a student that had her train ticket. But then she fall down, "Ah..." said the girl Ren looked at the girl in the floor then ran after the student, "Give her ticket back," said Ren the student looked at him then the student they rolled eyes then gave him the ticket and walked away, Ren walked to the fallen girl, "Here, let me help you" he said as he held out his hand to her, she looked at him and pulled her hand as she placed it on his. Ren helped her up, and looked at her, she had long red hair tied into a ponytail, with a red ribbon tied into a bow, blue eyes and pink lips. She wore a Shujin Academy uniform with black pantyhose and cute girly sneakers. "Oh.... Hello my name is Ren. Ren Amamiya." he said as he had a smile in his, "It's nice to meet you Ren, my name is Grace! I'm a transfer student to Shujin." she said as the both of them smile, still had they hands touching each others and had eyes looked at each others "What year are you at?" asked Ren "A second year" said Grace. "So your my grade then..." he said then he had something like this feeling that he can't decide but he liked that feeling then he realized that he had her ticket in his hand, "....Oh! I got your ticket back for you." "Oh! Thank you so much!" she said as he gave her ticket back then they both realize the time, "Oh! I guess we should get going, I don't want to be late for my first day of school!" Grace said as they both when in the train and they both when they different ways to school. When Ren was walking it started to rain so he when to the nears store to seek shelter from the rain, he looked at his phone then realized that he didn't get Grace's chat number, "Hm..." he said under his breath that the wired app appeared on his phone again he grew worry but was he was about to delete it again, a girl in a hoodie walked by him, was that Grace? But the girl took her hoodie off to show wavy platinum blonde hair that is styled in bushy pigtails with parted side bangs on the right side of her face where she accessorizes with a single yellow hair clip above her left ear as well as small circular earrings on both ears, she had bright blue eyes, she wore the standard black blazer over a white varsity-like hooded sweatshirt, worn long to cover most of her short plaid skirt. Her sweatshirt has a red stripe between two blue stripes at the bottom, an S symbol near the front bottom on one side and a green four-leaf-clover symbol on the back of the hood. She wears red tights and brown boots with yellow laces. He looked at her but she looked kinda sad or upset he was going to ask but then a car pulled to the side and rolled down the windows to see show him men in light blue jersey outfit, "Good morning. You want mw to give you a ride to school? You're gonna be late." the men said to the platinum hair girl, "Um, sure. Thank you." she said as she tarted to walk up to the car, the men looked at Ren, "Do you need a lift too?" he asked as the girl when into the car, but Ren shook his, "Ahh, no thanks" Ren said the man just stared at Ren and rolled up his window and drove off to the school then this vulgar boy came running in and stopped, "Damnit...forget that pervy teacher." said the upbeat boy "...Pervy teacher?" asked Ren without no knowing that the weird app he forgot to delete was now working then the vulgar boy turn and face Ren, he has short spiky dyed blond hair and dark brown eyes. He has a noticeable widow's peak and his eyebrows are unusual in that he lacks the outer sides. He is shown to be muscular. He wore the standard black blazer, unbuttoned to reveal a yellow t-shirt with a comic style star symbol and the word 'ZOMG!' He has plaid trousers rolled up to reveal his ankles. His pants have black suspenders that hang down instead of being worn on his shoulders. He has a white belt. His white sneakers have a rising sun flag motif. "...What do you want? You plannin' on rattin' me out to Kamoshida?" asked the vulgar boy "Kamoshida?" asked Ren from all his life in Shujin he had never heard a men named Kamoshida. "Huh? In the car just now. It was Kamoshida." said the vulgar boy, then it hitted him the man in the car that the girl rode with was Kamoshida. "He does whatever he wants. Who does he think he is—the king of a castle? Don't you agree?" said the vulgar boy. "The king of a castle?" asked Ren "No, I mean... Wait. You don't know Kamoshida? Are you for real? And by the looks of it, your not new I can tell." he said "Well guess I don't hang out after school that much." said Ren "... You messin' with me? A second-year, huh... We're the same grade then." said the vulgar boy. "Ya, but different classes." Ren said. "Never seen you before though." he said "It's because I never stay in school that much or have a friend to hang out." said Ren. "Then no wonder you don't know him." said the vulgar boy as he turned to his side and looked at Ren, "This rain ain't too bad. We better hurry up or we'll be late." said the vulgar boy, as we were about to we were about to walk this something kinda pop not us Ren felt it but the vulgar boy too felt it, "I feel kinda light-headed for some reason..." said Ren "Uuugh, my head hurts... Dammit... I wanna go home..." sighed the vulgar boy as they continue on walking, back in the interrogation room with the questions that Sae was giving him and the memory's he remember, Sae had this questionably look at her face, "...There was a terrible subway accident that day. You remember it, don't you? I assume you know of the uproar that the public calls the 'psychic breakdown incidents.'" asked Sae "I might." Ren answered to her, "You say that like it's none of your business. It was all over the news, and one of the victims included a teacher at your high school. I've no doubt you heard about it. On that day... were you still an 'ordinary' student in an 'ordinary' day?" asked Sae "What do you mean?" he asked and trying to change the topic. "...Let me change the question. You say it was like the same old day everyday for you, correct?" asked Sae "Yes, just an ordinary day at school time." he said "An ordinary pep school that could be found in any city... That's what it should've been. What happened around that time? Tell me everything—truthfully." said Sae has Ren was trying to recall the day he entered that world and everything changed.
