"Tsuna-nii?"

Kasumi gasped as she looked around her, completely lost. At that moment, all of her friends and her brother had completely disappeared from where they once stood, and all she saw was pitch black. Frightened amber eyes looked around as she reached forward, only to find her own hands pressing onto what seemed like a wooden door, allowing a stream of light to enter and allow her to finally gain information on her surroundings.

Was she in a wardrobe...?

Cramped as she was, the brunette took the time to look over her attire in disbelief. A small purple frock similar to the one in which Alice had worn, complete with a hairband framing her locks. "Utau-chan? Aira? Kanon? Gokudera-kun? Yamamoto-kun?" She blurted out as she pushed against the walls of the wardrobe, before she finally tumbled out.

There was no familiar face. Alone she sat in a well furnished, although dusty room. There was a table, a well made bed, the wardrobe, a dusty mirror and two doors, one of which was relatively clean while the other had mysterious dark red stains at the bottom. Kasumi gulped. Pushing herself up on shaky legs, she hobbled to the clean door.

Peering over the edge of the door that she had just opened, Kasumi breathed a sigh of relief. At least there was no one (or no enemies) in sight. The hallway was clean, white walls and white floors covered by a red carpet. The door closest to the one she had come out from was furnished with two paintings, creepily staring at her. With almost frantic motions, she jiggled the door handle but came out empty. It was locked.

Slowly, she wondered through the hallway, cautiously walking through another hallway to an intersection with three alternate paths. Kasumi tried the door first. It was still locked. Despite having not expected it to be open, Kasumi still sighed in desperation. She tried the other. Still locked. Finally, Kasumi walked through the last hallway to what seemed to be a sitting room, a cozy room with a crackling fireplace and random books sprawled on the four settees.
