(Arise's point of view)
After waking up from a good night's rest while the sun came up outside, I heard knocking and turned to the door. "Yes, I'm up.", I said and it opened up to reveal Ogai holding some items in his hands. Sighing, I got myself out of bed and headed into the bathroom. He followed me in and closed the door behind him. I kept silent while he carefully combed through my slightly long silver hair. "Is there any reason as to why you're helping me with getting myself ready for today?", I asked him the moment he finished this. "That's simple. I have two people I'd like to introduce you to this morning.", he responded. "This part of the city is going to be my home, isn't it?", I asked. "Yes and from today forth, you're a part of this organization.", he responded before tugging at the nightgown's sleeves to pull it off me. The moment he finished getting me ready for today, Ogai used his right hand to guide me out of the room. As soon as we made it to the closest staircase, he led me down its steps. Once we got down to the building's first floor, I grabbed onto his scarf upon spotting two teenage boys arguing by the entrance. "Dazai. Chuya.", he said, getting them to stop their argument and turn their heads towards us. I moved my gaze towards them both and they stared at the items I had on. They began whispering to each other. Within a minute, Ogai cleared his throat to end it. "Boss, who is this?", they asked. "I'd like for you two to meet Arise Nakajima. She'll be working with the both of you from today onwards. Do what you can to make sure she doesn't get herself hurt.", he responded before leaving the building's first floor.
