"You need to be quiet," Yukine whispered, his eyes narrowing at the arguing Echo and Galaxy.

"Why?!" Galaxy demanded, her voice rising.

"Because... do you hear that?" Yukine's gaze flicked to the shadows, his face tense with concentration.

...

"It's a rare thing known as silence. Now, who would have ever thought such a thing would be found with you two babbling on like a pair of hyenas?" Yukine told them quietly.

"Hey, who are you calling a hyena?!" Galaxy roared, her fists clenching at her sides.

"Stop. Shouting..." Yukine's voice dropped to a menacing whisper, his eyes piercing through the dim light.

"What's with you? You're so... mellow. You really are more of a loving person without your mask. You just needed to break free of it. That's probably why you freaked out at first," Echo smiled, her eyes flashing with mischief.

Yukine shyly looked down, his face turning a light shade of red.

"Haha! I love this side of you!!! Aww, it's so cute!!!" Echo squealed as she pulled one of his cheeks.

"I know, right! Haha! You're so adorable!" Galaxy giggled as she tugged the other cheek.

"Cut it out!" Yukine moaned, his face contorted in a mix of annoyance and embarrassment.

"Aww, if only Luna could see how adorable you look right now," Echo giggled in a playful voice

"She's standing right in front of us..." Yukine grunted reluctantly. 

They suddenly noticed Luna looking at them strangely, along with Yurio and Leo beside her and Atomu behind them.

"Hey guys, look over here!" Atomu suddenly called, waving his arms.

"Huh? What is it, Atomu?" Echo asked with a hopeful tone.

"A room, huh?" Luna mumbled, noticing a large, open door leading to a barren, box-like room.

"Hm?" Galaxy turned to the doors.
