Reader's P.O.V.

We entered the kitchen with peeling wallpaper and a couple of dingy lamps in lieu of actual electrical wiring.

"Welcome back, Len!" a woman with dark pinkish-red hair waved at us from the stove in the corner. Kagamine coolly sauntered up to her and she wrapped her arms around him, giving him an exaggerated kiss on the top of his head. Len shoved his hands in his pocket and laughed, "Yeah, and I brought a new friend."

The woman looked past Kagamine to see me standing awkwardly in the background. Her smile was one to rival my aunt's... soft and welcoming. "Hello, I'm Miki," she greeted warmly and held her hand out. I gently took her hand, yet her hold was surprisingly firm.

"I'm [_____]." I smiled shyly. My eyes glanced around the room. I was usually awkward around others. As I looked around, my eyes landed on a gun snug in her pocket.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Miki smiled back and continued cooking. Her whole demeanor was comforting like a sister or mother figure.

"She's family to me," Kagamine muttered as he nudged his head at Miki. His cheeks were pale pink like peonies. He turned his back from the kitchen, and led me down the hall. We passed an open doorway from an empty dining room.

"Are you all close-knit?"

"A couple of the members see this merely as business, but at the end of the day: we're all family. Despite what a couple of them say, they're my closest friends. If anything I'd have to estimate our percentage of "close-knit" would be around 95."

Kagamine led me down a couple more dark halls, passing rooms closed off with decorations and posters, and whatnot. From the outside, the building seemed so much smaller and now that I'm in here, boy was I mistaken. We continued out to a small foyer and beyond the open doorway to the left was the distinct shouting of someone losing a game and someone else cursing.

Kagamine knocked on the doorway, smiling smugly as everyone snapped their heads in our direction.

"Hey, Len! You're back!"

Everyone's attention immediately left Kagamine and fixated on me. I fidgeted anxiously, unsure of what to do. Was it too late to back out? Too many eyes were on me... What shocked me more is that I recognized a couple of them.

"Hello," I sheepishly chuckled, waving my hand. They just stared at me like blank-eyed goats.

"The hell, Boss?!" a flaxen haired male yelled, "You said we couldn't bring people into the base! What gives-"

A knife was thrown, settling snug and deep into the wall beside his head.

"Don't talk to him like that. It's not our fault you've got your privileges revoked," a girl with pink hair interjected. Whilst all of them seemed to know what they were doing, I was freaking out. They just tossed their weapons wherever! But her throw was very precise... I collected myself and slightly bowed my head, "Hi, I'm [_____]."

"Welcome aboard, kid!"

Whoa... That voice! I know that voice!

I turned to my right and in the corner, Ms. Sakane waved around a beer can. The girl with the pink hair on the opposite side of the room introduced herself as Momo. The blond loudmouth speaking out introduced himself as Leon.

A few of the familiar faces there definitely shocked me. Miku and her iconic twin-tail hairstyle. She attended the same middle school with us. Then I met Piko, a white-haired boy who wore black pants and a white shirt, a girl named Defoko, and another girl named Ia.

Another face made me do a double-take, "Miss Kasane?!"

"[_____]! When did you get here?" she asked me, her eyes full of worry. She was too busy with her face in papers to look up till a moment ago.
