You (Atsushi) remember the day clearly. A different day from the others. In 6th grade, you had escaped from home to not get a beating. On the way to a park, you found 10 dollars. Your stomach rumbled, reminding you you hadn't eaten in 3 days. Exited, you began running towards a nearby shop until you noticed someone sitting in the shadows. It was Akutagawa. This is how you learned about his past. He didn't have parents, he only lived with his little sister, Gin, who he took care of. Without money, Akutagawa went out to work or if he was lucky, find money on the streets. You walked towards him and gave him the money you were going to use for food. Both of you kept your relationship as two guys who hated each other, yet Akutagawa started acting differently. You 2 are now in highschool, 10th grade. Akutagawa seemed to attend the same highschool as yours. Everything was different. After that moment when you were young, your life didn't seem to be yours. It was like every move you made was being watched. **

You were walking towards your classroom, feeling worried. One of your closest friend, Lucy Montgomery, had been missing for a month now. The hallway was quiet, no one was around. Then, suddenly, you felt a sharp pain on your neck, and everything faded to black. You woke up, the first thing you noticed is that you were in a dark room, your limbs tied to a chair. Your senses start recovering, and a strong, disgusting smell fills your nose. You look around, feeling alarmed. That's when you notice all the walls having many photos of you. Your heart sinks, the smell getting stronger the more conscious you get. You look at the ground, finally noticing the corpse of your dear friend Lucy on the ground. As soon as you scream, the door opens. Akutagawa comes in, his face remained empty, though for some reason, he seemed happy.

"So you've woken up. Refrain from screaming, Gin is sleeping."
