/Early Morning\

---------------

[Minato arrives at the school gate. He meets Mitsuru there.]

Mitsuru: Good morning, Arisato. Yamagishi and (L/n) will be living in the dorm with us. And starting tonight, Fuuka be providing us with support during battle. So, now (L/n) and I can join the front line.

"Great. You're reliable."

        Mitsuru: Yes, you can depend on me. Even though I'm a bit out of practice, I will soon return to my prior form.

"Oh, and Arisato?"

[Mitsuru turns towards the male once again.]

"Make sure you talk to (L/n) about what equipment she will need for our exploration of Tartarus."

"Okay, sure. I'll take her to see Officer Kurosawa after I get back."

[Minato and Mitsuru enter the school.]

/Evening\

---------

[Minato has just arrived at the dorm when his phone rings.]

> Your cell phone is ringing.

Voice on the Phone: Hello? This is Elizabeth. I'm calling to inform you of a change in Tartarus... I believe a path that was blocked is now open... I thought you might like to know....I wish you a safe journey.

> The phone call has ended.

[In the lounge Fuuka and (Y/n) are sitting on the sofa. Fuuka is helping (Y/n) with some math problems. Both girls turn to him when he puts his phone away.]

Fuuka: ...Hi, how was your day? Um, since I'll be substituting for Mitsuru-senpai from now on... just tell me if you want to go to Tartarus. I'll do my best.

"That's great. I'm counting on you."

>You then address the other girl in the lounge.

"Can you come with me for a second (L/n)-san?"

[A look of surprise flashes over her features.]

"Oh, uh okay? Let me put my stuff away first..."

[(Y/n) and Fuuka quickly pack up their school supplies and they both make their way to the stairs and disappear around the corner.]

>(Y/n) comes back with a curious look in her eyes and her brow furrowed.

"So, uh, lead the way...Where are we going anyway?"

"You'll see."

"Come on dude, you can't just ask a girl to go somewhere and not tell her where you're going. That wasn't very cash money of you..."

"What?"

"Y'know, like as in the meme?"

"Whats a meem?"

"Don't tell me you don't know what memes are...!"

[A look of terror takes over the young woman's face.]

"No, I'm sorry. I have have no idea what you're talking about."

"This is a nightmare! Well listen up Leader-chan! I'm about to learn you something important!"

"Oh my God..."

[Minato pauses for a second and just looks at his teammate.]

>Thou art I...And I am Thou...Thou hast established a new bond...Thou shalt be blessed with bond advancement.

"Hey man, you Gucci? You're just starin' at me..."

"I'm fine, let's go."

"So about memes...."

[Both young adults leave the dorm all the while one explaining very obscure and funny internet culture that doesn't exist and the other getting thoroughly confused.]

>You both soon arrive at Paulownia mall.

[Minato seems unfazed as both students make the leisurely way to the police station. He glances back at the now quiet (Y/n).]

>You are looking around amazed.

'The in-game graphics didn't do this any justice! Just look at this place!'

[The astonished girl briskly looks around the mall square, mindful of not bumping into the other patrons. The night ambiance of middle aged women trying to get last minuet shopping done and the cheerful laughter from the karaoke bar. Looking up towards the dome ceiling you could see the stars through the Plexiglas.]

"Whoa...."

>Out of the corner of your eye, in the corner of the square, you notice that one of the Lost stumbling around aimlessly. You move to where he's at and soon realize that he's a first year. A pang of sadness strums on your heart strings.

'You poor bastard... Don't worry you won't be like this for much longer...'

>You sigh solemnly and join your male companion where he is standing in front of the police station.

"This the place?"

[He nods in affirmation and then heads inside without another response.]

"h-Hey! Don't just ditch me like that!"

>You join him inside and see that he is talking to the officer behind the counter. It's Officer Kurosawa.

[Minato says a couple of things before the Officer nods and heads into a room in the back. He returns with a Ken-do Shinai case and hands it to the younger male. (Y/n) goes to stand next to her dorm-mate.]

"Here's the naginata you asked for. Don't cause too much trouble and don't stay out too late."

"Thanks."

'So that's how you get the weapons and other items out of the mall without looking suspicious...you sly dogs!'

[Both teens make their way back to the dorm for the night.]
