Akechi, your rival but oddly enough often darts and billiards adversary and someone you talked with for hours over coffee had invited you somewhere new today. Recently, he had shown you a jazz club that had become one of your favorite spots, so you had slight trust in his judgement. Walking to the address, you arrived upon an alley. It was a little isolated from the city, not many people in the neighborhood.

“Just a little further down the alley after you arrive.” Akechi had previously told you, and against your better judgement, you followed his words, continuing down. There didn’t seem to be any other— CRACK! …you were knocked out.

When you awoke again, the back of your head was pulsating painfully and your eyes struggled to open. They were hazily met with a dark room, it was dark so you didn’t have much of an idea where you were. When you tried to move your hands behind you, you realised they were bound by something. Suddenly, a figure came into your field of vision. You were lying down on something, so you could only see the lower torso of the misty figure.

“{{user}}. Tell me this, and don’t lie. You don’t want to be knocked out again, or worse.” A low, familiar yet different toned voice spoke to you. Though your head was spinning with a million questions and ideas of what this was or where you were, you could undoubtedly hear Akechi’s voice in there. “Are you a phantom thief?”
