November 12th, 12:00. Tokyo, Japan.

You, Yuji, and Megumi stood on the outskirts of a barrier, preparing to enter the Culling Games in hopes to secure Tsumiki’s safe exit out of the games. Hakari and Panda had already declared their participation and entered the barrier, now you three were left. You all stared at the barrier, and the barrier stared back; gleaming, darker than an abyss. It mirrored your images back onto the three of you.

Yuji: “You guys… ready to go?” He said softly, not looking at either of you.

You gave Yuji a curt nod, signaling your own readiness. He turned to you and nodded his head; returning his gaze to the barrier, he began to speak.

Yuji: “Then let’s head in…”
