Third Person POV
BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!! BEE-
The sound of Issei's alarm clock reverberated throughout his bedroom, causing the boy to stir in annoyance as he raised one of his hands and turned off the device. With that task completed, he returned his hand to the bed and attempted to resume sleeping. After a few minutes of complete silence, Issei's eyes suddenly flew open.
Startled, he swiftly sat up and observed that he was not only in his bed but inexplicably back at his house, which left him deeply bewildered.
Issei: "What the heck?..."
Issei was uncertain how to interpret this situation. Why had he returned to his house? The last thing he could recall was receiving a call from Rias, informing him about a Stray Devil that needed to be dealt with; beyond that, his memory was a complete blank.
Issei: "Why am I back in my bedroom?"
His focus shifted to his arm.
Issei: "Hey, Ddraig. Do you know what happened?"
Silence.
Issei: "Ddraig?"
Silence persisted.
Issei pinched the bridge of his nose and released a small sigh of frustration. Despite Ddraig's immense power to slay a God, he seemed to act more like a lethargic lizard.
Issei: "For goodness' sake..."
He lightly slapped his own arm.
Issei: "Wake the fuck up!"
Suddenly, a green glow enveloped Issei's arm as the Boosted Gear emerged, and the gem shimmered.
Ddraig: ["WHO! WHAT! WHY!?"]
Issei: "Finally, you're awake, lazy dragon."
Ddraig groaned.
Ddraig: ["What do you want, Partner? It's too early..."]
Glancing at the clock, Issei noted it was nearly 8 o'clock, meaning he had a short time before he needed to depart for Kuoh Academy. However, his attention returned to the Boosted Gear as he deadpanned at it.
Issei: "It's almost 8 o'clock. Why are you so tired?"
Ddraig yawned.
Ddraig: ["Not sure, just am..."]
Issei rolled his eyes, stood up, and stretched, eliciting a satisfying crack from his right shoulder.
Issei: "Anyway, Ddraig. Any idea what happened to us? Why am I back in my house?"
Ddraig: ["What do you mean, Part-"]
Ddraig fell silent as he surveyed their surroundings through the Boosted Gear, confirming they were in Issei's bedroom. This puzzled the Welsh Dragon, as he was fairly certain he hadn't fallen asleep after their conversation.
The last thing he remembered was discussing a math question with the brown-haired boy's teacher. Additionally, he recalled Issei receiving a phone call, although the details were hazy after the ringtone.
Something seemed amiss with his partner. What had transpired, and how? As Ddraig was connected to Issei's soul, he typically had access to the boy's memories, providing insights into his host. However, an unexpected complication arose, hindering his ability to recall events following Issei's phone call.
Issei immediately took notic Ddraig's silence and knew that something was definitely wrong.
Issei: "Ddraig, is something wrong?"
