Akira: Hey Goro! I've arrivied to Tokyo today want to meet up tommorow?

It took only a few second for the response to come back

'Kechi <3: Of course, it would be wonderfull to finally meet up after those years, can you go out on evening? I'm afraid I'll be busy beforhand.

Akira: Yeah! Can we meet up at shibuya? I don't exactly know any other place at the moment.

Sojiro would allow him to go out right? At least he hoped he would.

'Kechi <3: Okay, see you tommorow then. Good night Akira.

He was going to sleep already? The raven checked the time- 11 am. It wasn't that late he thought, but to be honest, Goro wasn't actually going to sleep, he often said that to stop Akira from messeging him at 3 am. He said it was "unhealthy", like he wasn't staying up all night

Akira: Goodnightt

Since he couldn't messege his friend anymore (he would never heard the end of it if Goro found out he wasn't sleeping) he decided to finally clean up a bit. Maybe it would convince Sojiro.

The old man came to him once, seemed suprised that Akira was cleaning, and went back down, saying that it's natural that the boy wanted to keep his room clean. Akira wasn't sure if it changed anything, so he decided to ask tomorrow morning.

At first, he was supposed to come here tommorow, but his parents really wanted him away, so they send him earlier. He felt bad for being a burden for Sojiro, but he couldn't exactly do anything. He didn't even noticed when his eyes began to close...

He woke up to the sound of chains. Where was he? It looked like some kind of prison with blueish walls, when the raven stood up, he saw two little girls with blue clothes and yellow eyes behind the bars. He decided to come closer. There was also a man with a long nose, sitting behind a table.

Welcome to my Velvet Room. I am Igor.- The man said. The atmosphere was really unpleasant.

Where am I?..-he asked, wondering

Stand up straight when speaking with our master, inmate! - one of the girls said, she looked more energetic than the other one.

This place exist between dream and reality, mind and matter. Only those who have singed a contract can come here. - The man explained, Akira still didn't understand, but he tried to seem like he did. - And about the girls, to your left is Justine, to your right Caroline. They will be helping you overcome ruin. You can call them "wardens".

The duty of wardens is to protect inmates, we are also your collaborators - Justine explained, she was definitely the calm one.

I will explain everything at another occasion, it is almost time after all. - Igor added

Rest while you can, inmate! - Caroline somewhat yelled.

Akira felt like he didn't sleep at all.
