[] L/N Y/N - AGE 17 []

I had reached a crater.

A slum people called it.

A city was built in it.

I felt a sense of familiarity in this place. I didn't know why.

I walked deeper into the crater. Exploring if there was someone I knew...probably not. Maybe someone who at least knows me I guess.

I saw some children run by me, before halting abruptly, turning around.

Nonetheless, I continued on strolling.

"Who are you?" one of them spoke. I halted.

Without turning around, I spoke loudly so they could hear, "I am nobody you should know of. Although, may I ask where am I?"

There was a slight silence before another responded hastily, "You are in Suribachi City..."

Suribachi City.

I threw them some coins before continuing on walking without a word.
The children had started to gleam over it.

I made my way halfway through the city, now known as Suribachi City.

I had remembered Mori telling me something about how a large explosion occurred and this city was formed.

8 years ago.

CRASH

Huh?

"-uicidal brat?"

I walked closer to the sound. Making sure my footsteps were quiet.

"You're a brat too."

"I'm not just any brat, unlike you."

"Tell me about this 'Arahabaki' you are looking for."

Arahabaki.

That sounded familiar too.

Oh well. It's none of my business.

I started walking away from the commotion. As if yet again, more crashing and loud sounds had erupted once more. I didn't want to get into any messy business this time.

I had decided to end my trip here, seemingly as if everything is hopeless and I would find nothing but oxygen here.

Halfway through the trip, I had the sudden urge to quickly travel to the mirror dimension.

A bad feeling as if something were about to happen.

I looked around and saw an almost dried up muddy puddle.

I took off a glove and touched it with haste.

Next thing that happened, was an explosion, an ear-deafening one.

There was a figure in the center of the explosion. But blinded by light, I couldn't make out its appearance.

Since I were in the mirror realm, I'd decided to travel here instead...

[] Present Time []
[] 2:03 p.m. - Suribachi City []

When I was told of the location where I meet Kamui, Suribachi City was the last place I would have liked the location to be.

But alas, of course luck is never on my side in these kind of circumstances.

Although, it has been a while since I have last been in these streets, was it during the Arahabaki incident?

I skipped through the empty streets of the run down slums of the city. It really is a wonder how this place exists despite the success Japan has achieved.

Hopping my way down from the familiar steps, I found a hooded figure with a gas mask waiting upon in front of a somewhat broken mirror, he was looming over my 'reflection', then he noticed me and motioned me to come forward.

I felt a wave of pressure from the man, by just merely doing that was horrifying.

Gulping down saliva, I advanced forward and touched the mirror, bringing me to the real world...

Taking a huff of the rusted oxygen from the rundown city, I looked up at the man who led the Decay of Angels.

As expected, his identity is hidden even to his colleagues, although Fedya might know about his identity. Although he is tall...

"I presume you are L/N Y/N," he said with a robotic-like voice.

"Right...and I should presume you are 'Kamui'?"

He didn't say anything in response.

"L/N-kun," he started...

"..You want me to...what..?"
