; Prologue ;

Letting out a small grumble, my eyes slowly rose. I could feel a cold metal touching my clothed arms, it was quite cramped. Three slits were carved into the cramped space, pouring out white lights.

My hand slowly touched the cold metal door, that was surprisingly pushed open from my light touch. As the door slowly opened, I was greeted by the white realm, blinding me.

...

The lights soon dimmed and turned the pure white to a orangey-sunset vibe. I could see the room more clearly now.

"...Is this...a classroom...?" I could hear my voice let out a tight tone, it was also quite shaky. I then fully stepped out of the cramped space, which was a locker, my feet finally touches the ground.

"...Ugh.."

I was a bit unpleased by the sight, the desks were unbelievably covered in cobwebs and dust, the stools were super dirty and muddy that dried up, the floors was growing out plants and bushes, windows were imprisoned by red ropes.

I immediately cringed after seeing how messy and unorganized it was. I'm more of a clean-freak if you ask. There was also an extra locker beside mines, but it wasn't really important. I decided the investigate the room, most likely because im alone.

...

A few minutes passed by, and nothing. All I could hear was my breathing and pulse surprisingly, till, I heared a huge, loud bang echoing.

*BANG...
BANG ...
BANG..*

In an instant, I spun around. My entire body tensed and I couldn't move, I was like a statue. As the banging continued, the door of the locker soon bursts open and...

A young-average male stepped out..

Another person...? I thought I was alone...?

My eyes were widened, gulping nervously. I didn't expect another person to be here, especially if I'm unknown around this place and with a stranger!

"H-Hi..?" My voice squeaks out, giving the boy a small little wave. He seemed really intimidating...

He didn't really respond to my greet, but instead nodded and looked away, folding his arms. He looked like he had a pure black heart...

Why? As a detective, I suddenly start to have random theories and instincts about anything. I mean, wouldn't you too?

"...Hey...Are you by any chance a detective?" The boy in black then spoke up, his voice was super arid, I'm guessing he didn't really drink anything for a while.

...How in the heck does he know? Is my uniform that obvious?

"... H-Huh? Oh, yeah! I am!" I confidently grabbed out my pin, showing it to the strange boy. His eyes fixated onto the pin, then back at me.

"If you are one...shouldn't you be able to guess about our situation?" His fingertip tapped on the corner of his chin, glaring at me with those vicious, glowing yellow eyes..

I tensed instantly, those creepy eyes were shouted directly into my spine, making me shiver. "I-I'm not that good of a detective! I'm not some sort of goddess, you know..."

I grunted, fumbling with the brim of my hat, pulling it down.

"...Are you perhaps a trainee?"
