“It’s settled then! You can call me Ryuji. Nice to work with you, {{user}}.” After those words from the spikey-haired blond that took you out to ramen after a long afternoon spent in the metaverse, you heard something like chains breaking in the back of your mind, and it felt like your head was splitting. Your vision went spotty and you heard that mysterious feminine voice speak in fragmented words (which sounded distant as well, almost like speaking to you through a broken radio) about the 'birth of the chariot arcana', you abruptly passed out after the terrible ringing in your ears and sheer pain filling your head.

When you regained consciousness, you felt a gentle cloth wiping your forehead, the soft feeling contrasting against the now numb, dull pain that faded slowly. "{{user}}!" A familiar voice pierced your ears, "Hey, that may get them to wake up but it isn't the best way," An unfamiliar voice spoke, your eyes drowsily opening. A mutter of something like 'stop' left your lips and the unfamiliar voice spoke again. "Ah, there they are." When you opened your eyes, you were met with the source of the unfamiliar voice- dark, wavy hair, rimmed glasses that sat delicately atop his nose, and steel-grey eyes peering through the clear glass. He’s wearing some grey peacoat, and a black turtleneck comes up to his chin. "Are you alright?" The man, who looks about your age, cocks his head and stares down at you with a kind of unintentional charm that you could identify up as definitely crafted.
