-------The Velvet Room------

The sound of the very familiar chains clunking in Ren's ears caused him to wake up by fluttering his dark grey eyes open. Shaking off the dizziness he felt, he stood up from his bed while feeling numbness running through his limbs due to the cuffs that were imprisoning him. The chains were clunking, their voice ringing through his ears to remind him of his position in the place he currently stood at, an inmate, a prisoner of fate. Inmate, huh... the word sure had a lot of memories, unpleasant ones even. Lifting his eyes up across the door of the cell, his gaze was met with Igor's sly smirk sitting on his desk in the center of the room along with the young twin wardens staring at him with their golden eyes.

"First off... I'd like to begin by congratulating you." Igor smirked slyly.

"To think our master would give words of praise..." Justine trailed.

"You better treasure this moment, Inmate!" Caroline shouted in a taunting tone.

"You have encountered allies who share your aesthetics, and you have found your place in reality. The time has come... your rehabilitation will soon begin."

"What rehabilitation? I don't understand."

"Just shut up and listen, Inmate!" Caroline hit the cell's bars.

"You have a special potential. However, that must be refined into a useful power. It is weak now, but refining it shall grant you the strength to stand against the coming ruin." Igor explained, "...That is the rehabilitation cast upon you."

"Coming ruin...?"

"There are various means by which you may gain the power to resist the ruin. Fighting Shadows and gaining experience is one way. The fusion process I taught you prior is another."

"This is all possible because of our master's guidance, Inmate!" Caroline spoke.

"Though it may be presumptuous of us, we have words of wisdom as well." Justine added.

"When you're out in reality, you better hone your relationships with those you have contracts with!"

"Spending time with those people... will lead to the cultivation of your relationships with them."

"If you've got time to waste, you'd better visit your contractors, Inmate!"

"That is another source of power to evade the ruin that our master has mentioned."

"Thanks to the contractors you've formed, your heart is steadily gaining the power of opposition. It seems your rehabilitation is going well. This is a truly joyous occasion... may the devotion to your rehabilitation grow even deeper." Igor elaborated, "...I have high hopes of you."
