"You're here." the voice said as Kei stood in front of the large pair of doors and the blond remained to keep the phone close to his ear. 

'Why did I follow this voice's instructions and come here? Shouldn't the press conference be happening soon?' Kei thought. 

"You can enter now. What's wrong? Don't tell me you got cold feet when I haven't even told you why I brought you here?" the voice asked. 

"No. I'll enter." Kei replied and pushed the door open and he found himself in what looked to be an auditorium. 

'There's no one in here. Did this person trick me?' Kei thought. 

"You might be wondering where everyone is, but they're waiting for you of course. Everyone will appear when you take a seat at the stage. So go on... take a seat." the voice said.

'Should I trust this voice at this point? This just sounds like a trap, and I don't wanna fall for that kind of-' 

"Weren't you listening? I said..." the voice paused and the sound of something ticking echoed through the large room. 

"Take a seat." the voice repeated and the sound of someone who'd snapped their fingers echoed right after and Kei jerked from the sound. 

His eyes–that were filled with life and curiosity–changed to being dull and in a deep trance from the ticking sound. A spotlight hit the stage and there was only one chair shown in the light. 

"They're waiting for you, so take your seat."




"Wait a second, it is known that the second personality can be weak to hypnosis, and if they have a traumatic incident that is pushed into a hypnosis trance, then it can be possible for a third personality to appear altogether. That's- That doesn't sound good. Huh?" Izuku glanced over at her phone to see it was Takashi calling her.

"Yes, Takashi?" 

"Izuku, there's a problem! We can't find Kei!" 

Izuku felt a shiver down her spine from hearing the problem and she immediately looked at the computer and reread what she just figured out and she knew this was a sign that something bad was about to happen. 

"What d'you mean you can't find Kei-kun? I thought he was with you the whole time?" 

"I had to do a quick interview with someone and told Kei to go into the Greenroom, but I just got here and he's not there. I'm currently looking for him around the building, but we'll have to hold the conference until we find him!" Takashi explained. 

"Ah- then I'm coming to help you find him. I think something bad will happen to Kei-kun." Izuku said as she left the office and grabbed her coat and shoes and was out the door.

"I just told the guards to hold the doors a little longer until we find Kei, but I don't know how long we have." Takashi noted. 

"Right, but Takashi, I need to ask you something." Izuku said as she left her home and caught a taxi right after. 

"Sure, what is it?" 

"Is it really possible for Kei-kun to develop another personality just by a traumatic incident and then hypnosis fanning the flames for it?" Izuku asked. 

"Ah- did you read all the information files I gave you?" 

"Yes, so please answer me if that's possible?" Izuku demanded.
