Shadows of Wammy House

Chapter 1 : Bonds of Wammy House

The Wammy Orphanage stood as a beacon of hope amidst the bustling corridors where gifted children found refuge and guidance. Here, amidst the intellectual challenges and nurturing environment, friendships bloomed like delicate flowers in a garden of diversity. Amidst the labyrinth of alliances, jealousy lurked in the shadows, waiting to rear its ugly head.
As you stepped into the grand foyer of Wammy Orphanage on your first day, a whirlwind of emotions swept through you. Excitement mingled with apprehension, and curiosity danced with uncertainty. The imposing structure loomed overhead, its walls echoing with the laughter and chatter of countless children who had walked these halls before you.
You were interesting to them, like a magnet drawing iron filings. Eyes followed your every move, whispers trailing in your wake. But amidst the sea of faces, one stood out the most: Mello. His piercing gaze seemed to strip away the layers of your facade, laying bare your vulnerabilities and strengths alike.
Mello was a force to be reckoned with, his confidence bordering on arrogance, his intellect matched only by his ambition. Yet beneath the tough exterior lay a heart that yearned for connection, for someone who could understand the turmoil within.
As the day unfolded, you found yourself drawn to Mello, his magnetic presence pulling you into his orbit. Despite the chaos and confusion of your first day, there was a sense of belonging that settled over you like a warm blanket, tethering you to this new chapter of your life.

The first encounter between you, Mello, and Matt at Wammy Orphanage was a moment that would shape your friendship for years to come. It happened on a crisp autumn day in the garden, where the colors of the falling leaves painted a picturesque scene.
You were sitting alone on a bench, lost in thought, when Mello and Matt approached, their laughter echoing through the air. Intrigued by their infectious energy, you couldn't help but glance their way.
Mello noticed you first, his keen eyes catching yours as he nudged Matt with an excited grin. "Look, the new girl," he exclaimed, his voice carrying across the garden.
Matt followed Mello's gaze and offered you a friendly wave. "Hey there, come join us!" he called out, his warm smile putting you at ease.
With a hesitant smile, you rose from the bench and made your way over to where Mello and Matt were sitting. As you introduced yourself, a sense of camaraderie began to form, fueled by shared experiences and the excitement of new beginnings.
Mello leaned back against the tree, his arms folded across his chest as he studied you with a curious gaze. "So, what's your story?" he asked, his tone casual but genuine.
You shrugged, a smile playing at your lips. "Not much to tell, really. Just another kid trying to find their place in the world," you replied, your words tinged with a hint of self-deprecation.
Matt chuckled, shaking his head in amusement. "Aren't we all?" he remarked, his eyes sparkling with empathy. "But hey, at least we've got each other, right?"
The warmth in Matt's words was palpable, and you couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging wash over you. These were people who understood, people who had been through their own struggles and emerged stronger for it.
As the conversation flowed effortlessly between you, Mello, and Matt, the initial awkwardness of meeting for the first time faded into the background, replaced by a shared sense of camaraderie and mutual respect.
Mello leaned forward, his eyes alight with curiosity. "So, what do you like to do for fun?" he asked, eager to learn more about you.
You shrugged, a thoughtful expression crossing your features. "I enjoy listening to music , playing chess, exploring the nooks and crannies of this place,and reading" you replied, your voice filled with enthusiasm.
Matt grinned, his eyes lighting up at the mention of chess. "Hey, I love chess too! We should play sometime," he suggested, excitement bubbling in his voice.
And so, as the afternoon sun dipped below the horizon and the garden was bathed in the soft glow of twilight, you knew that this chance encounter was the beginning of something special. United by the bonds of friendship and the shared experiences of Wammy Orphanage, you, Mello, and Matt were destined for adventures beyond your wildest dreams.

....

As you lounged in the tranquil garden of Wammy Orphanage, the conversation flowed effortlessly between you, Mello, and Matt. The gentle rustle of leaves and the distant chirping of birds provided a soothing backdrop to your exchange, as if nature itself was eavesdropping on your words.
"So, what's the plan for tonight?" Matt asked, breaking the comfortable silence that had settled over the three of you. His fingers continued to trace the intricate patterns on the cover of the book he held, his mind already wandering to the possibilities that lay ahead.
Mello's eyes gleamed with mischief as he leaned forward, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "I heard there's a stash of chocolate hidden in the greenhouse," he revealed, a mischievous grin tugging at the corners of his lips. "I say we stage a midnight raid."
You chuckled at Mello's suggestion, the idea of embarking on a covert mission to procure chocolate both thrilling and absurd. "Count me in," you replied, unable to resist the allure of adventure.
As the conversation turned to plans for the evening, a sudden glint of metal caught your eye from beneath a nearby shrub. Curiosity piqued, you approached the spot and reached beneath the foliage, your fingers closing around a small, metallic object.
With a triumphant flourish, you pulled out a sleek, futuristic-looking device, its surface adorned with intricate buttons and flashing lights. "What in the world is this?" you exclaimed, holding the mysterious object up for your friends to see.
Mello's eyes widened in excitement as he examined the device, his mind already racing with possibilities. "It looks like some kind of—"
Before Mello could finish his sentence, Matt interrupted, "Hey, check this out!" He pointed excitedly to a cluster of colorful flowers nearby. Nestled among them was a small, weathered journal.
You, Mello, and Matt exchanged eager glances before rushing over to inspect the journal. As you flipped through its pages, you discovered sketches, poems, and snippets of thoughts, each one offering a glimpse into the life of its previous owner.
"Who do you think it belonged to?" you mused aloud, your fingers tracing the faded ink on the pages.
Mello shrugged, a thoughtful expression on his face. "Hard to say, but whoever it was, they certainly had a way with words."
With the sun beginning to dip below the horizon, you reluctantly closed the journal and tucked it safely into your pocket. The discovery had added an extra layer of magic to an already enchanting day in the garden, and as you made your way back to the orphanage, you couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the unexpected treasures that life had to offer.
