Right on the verge of tears I decided to hold them back. My family, more precisely the lack of it, was a touchy subject for me. Without even realizing, my eyes started to feel watery. And even if I escape now, will they accept me back? They planned on kicking me out anyways. They’ll all be happy to have one less mouth to feed three times a day. Nobody in the orphanage will wonder where I am. That phrase destroyed all my spirit and courage. It’s not like anybody will miss you, he continued. I can, and I will, he said while grabbing my chin, forcing me to face him. You can’t hold me here against my will! I yelled back in response, gathering all the courage that I had left in me. 《That feels pretty much like a threat》, I thought But you mustn’t worry, if you will just obey my orders, nothing bad will happen. What are you talking about? How long do you plan on keeping me here anyways? 《I peaked his interest? What’s that supposed to even mean?》, I thought. You just peaked my interest, he mumbled to himself. I bet they could easily distract somebody, but in my current state, that was the least of my worries. I could clearly see how beautiful his eyes were now. He didn’t say anything, instead he brought his face so close to mine that I could feel his breath.

More precisely, in my dungeon, he said in the most nonchalant way possible. His facial expression didn’t change one bit, but it felt like he wasn’t pleased with what he found. It was like he was trying to peer into my soul. He turned his face to me and stared right into my eyes. W-where am I? I could barely find the courage to ask that, in a low shaky voice. He never said much, just small sentences with fancy, old words, but his presence was enough to scare everybody. I heard a lot of girls had secret crushes on him, but nobody dared talk to him. Carla Tsukinami, the most good looking and scary person in the whole high school. With loud and slow steps, the person eventually reached me. Do they know each other so well that they didn’t even need words to communicate? And who even is that person? He’s so far away, I can’t see his face. The person didn’t have to say much to get Shin to leave the room. This time a taller person walked in, with long hair and a deep voice. He didn’t even get to finish his sentence when the door opened again. Founders? Aren’t you the brothers that study in the special classroom? 《Tsukinami? Where did I hear that name before?》, I thought. I’m Tsukinami Shin, a proud founder, and my brother is Tsukinami Carla, the actual King of the Founders. Oh, excuse my manners, he said in a sarcastic tone. But whatever you did do, it must have been pretty bad for my brother to go to such lengths for a measly little human like you, he said, anger filling his voice. Why would I? And even if I wanted to, I couldn’t. Aren’t you going to answer my questions?

I love the despair that’s painted on your face. Where am I? And who are you? I asked, my voice cracking with fear. His voice was very lively which made me even more distressed. Maybe I was a bit harsh on you, said a man with strawberry blond hair. You were inconscient for quite some time. A bright ray of light entered the room for just a few seconds. 《Where am I? Who brought me here? And why am I here?》, were the only thoughts clouding my mind.Ī loud sound was produced by the opening of a large door in front of me. Every time I even tried to move my body, an loud obnoxious sound was produced. My hands were tied to a brick wall, with sturdy cold metal chains. I was in a large dark room, where I could barely see anything, with humid air. My head and every little part of my body was hurting like crazy. I wrote it the way I wanted it, so if the characters don’t act like they do in the games or in the CD dramas, it is what it is. I don’t know if this is canon behavior for the characters and it really doesn’t have to.
