Waking up in a matte light gray room and laying in a big comfy bed with a lot of pillows was something that startled young Megumi. Used to sharing a thin blanket and a single pillow with his sister; this was new to him, in a good way. Looking around the room, he saw pictures of Amelia and others hanging on one side of the wall and a lot of posters on the other walls. There was a glass desk and two bookshelves, each bookshelf standing at the end of the desk. After looking around the room a bit more, Megumi decided to look for the one that had brought him here. Walking out of the room, he smelled something sweet being made. Walking towards that direction he saw Amelia singing or talking to herself, he wasn't too sure, making pancakes. As if sensing him, Amelia turned to his direction and smiled. "I hope you like chocolate chip pancakes! I also made egg, bacon, sausage, and hashbrowns!" Megumi nodded his head and headed to the dining table that stood tall. Seeing him struggle, Amelia quickly made the last pancake before carrying him to the bathroom. "Oops. Almost forgot to wash your hands!" She let out a small giggle as she helped Megumi reach the sink and washed his hands and face. Letting out a groan as she dried his face gently, she carried him to the table and sat him down." Let me call down my brother to eat and I will set out the table, okay? " Megumi nodded his head, nervous to meet her brother. Watching her disappear into the hallway, he took the chance to observe the living room that was right in front of him. There were more pictures of Amelia and, what he's starting to assume, family. There was a big T.V and speakers on the side, a soft-looking L-shaped sofa, a few lamps, and a lot of art pieces.

One painting really caught his eye, it was rather large and kind of dark. In the painting, there stood two giant wolves covered in blood. One wolf was white while the other was black, but something was off about them, they didn't seem like normal wolves. As if on command both of the wolves' eyes glowed a deep yet bright red, startling Megumi. He turned his head to look at the hall only to be met with a chest, looking up he saw a young teen staring at him in interest. The young teen had a slightly long straight bowl cut, black hair and silver foxlike eyes, he didn't seem like he wasn't chubby or skinny, and quite a few beauty marks blessed over his face. Compared to Amelia, they didn't seem to look alike or related, aside from the amount of beauty marks and eye color he supposed. Amelia stood at a tall height, she was chubby and had dark brown wavy-curly hair. Her eyes were more foreign, they were bigger and had long eyelashes, like her brother she too had beauty marks blessed across her face. One under her lip, on her eyelid, and the most obvious ones were the three on the right side of her face that made a straight line.  While Megumi was lost in thought, Amelia's brother sat down as his sister brought the food. " How interesting... "

--------------------------Meanwhile

The white-haired man woke up to his phone ringing, ignoring the women's complaints he answered the phone groggily. "Hello?... " To his shock it was his close friend and co-worker, "Gojo... You're late.... Again. You need to get here fast, the meeting is starting soon." Realizing what today was, he hung up and hurried to get dressed. "You guys need to get out and leave. " He said as he passed the women to get to his bathroom. Looking around he took a mental note to have Megumi clean it again. Seeing as the women left, Gojo hurries and changes before heading to the door to leave. "Tsk... feels like I'm forgetting something again... Eh probably wasn't important." he then leaves to the school's meeting.
