When Ren opened his eyes, he found himself in what looked like a hedge maze. He felt like he was watching an old movie, as everything seemed to be filtered in a black and white haze.
"Huh? Where am I?" He thought while looking around, then heard singing?
Ren walks in the direction of the sound, using it as a guide through the maze. He came upon three humanoid cards, all clubs he noticed, going from ace to three. As he walks forward, he hears a squish and looks down to see he'd stepped in some kind of red liquid. He looks back up to see the cards painting white roses red.
"What's going on here?" He thought confused, stepping out of the paint puddle.
"Excuse me? Why are you painting the roses red?" A new voice suddenly asks and Ren notices a young girl with long blonde hair wearing a blue dress with a white apron approach the cards.
"Why, you ask? It's quite simple. We planted the wrong color, you see." The two of clubs explains to her.
"The Queen only likes the rose red. If she sees they're white, we'll lose our heads!" The ace picks up. Both Ren and the girl flinch at that.
"Goodness! Really?!" The girl asks, looking slightly aghast.
"Indeed. So, we're painting the roses red." The three replies and it all fades away.
~Take Your Time~
*Knock!* *Knock!*
"Huh? Who's knocking at the door at this hour?" Ren groaned as he awoke to a loud knocking at the front door.
"Myaaah... Hey, Ren... It sounds like we have a visitor..." Grim says sleepily.
"What the heck? It's still dark out. Who'd be up and knocking at this time?" Morgana asks with a grown himself.
"Maybe it's those pesky ghosts again? They just don't know when to quit, so they?" Grim guesses, then yawns.
"In any case, I'll go check." Ren says and gets out of bed. He slips on the slippers that Crowley sent him, then began making his way downstairs to the dorm foyer, combing his fingers through his bed hair. Once again, he hears the knocking.
"Alright! Alright! I'm coming!" He says and walks up to the front door. "Ugh... Who even is it? Do you know what time it is?" He asks, slightly annoyed.
"It's me, Ace! Just let me in, please!" The voice of a familiar ginger-haired boy replies. Ren groans again and opens the door.
"Huh? Ace?" Morgana says, him and Grim having followed Ren.
"It's the middle of the night! What--? Wait... That collar!" Grim starts to complain then exclaims upon seeing the familiar around the boy's neck.
"I refuse to go back to Heartslabyul. So from today onward, I'm gonna be a part of Phantom!" The heart boy, who was in his pajamas, declares right there and then.
"Come again?!" Grim exclaims, looking shocked. Morgana just looked confused.
"Ace, what's this about?" Ren asks, just as confused. The other boy just grumbles to himself. "Well, in any case come on. It's cold out there." The fluffy-haired boy says and lets the red boy inside, closing the door behind him. Afterwards, the two boys and "not-cats", went into the lounge to talk.
"So, you ready to tell us what happened now?" Morgana decides to ask.
"Yeah, and what's with the collar? It's the same one that red-haired kid stuck on me at orientation! How'd you get shackled with that?" Grim recognizes and asks.
