Mask n ° 01 - The Indifference
I wake up abruptly. Gasping, shaking and sweating, I look around and realize I'm on a train. With my right hand, I withdraw my glasses, wiping the sweat from the face with the sleeve of the black jacket. From my bag, I take the bottle of one of my medicines, opening it and put a capsule in his mouth, drinking water soon after. I lean back in my chair, breathing deeply several times, calming myself.
I hear the warning that informs the stations, noting that it is where I must leave, and I get up from the chair, taking my bag and my suitcase. I pull the hood of my jacket from my head, not caring that some people notice my face with bandages. I don't care about anything else.
I look around, determined to ask for directions, without too much haste. Behind me, the train departs and soon there is the announcement of another coming. When I least expect it, a loud noise reaches my ears and I cover them in reflex, not understanding what was happening. I am pushed forward with force, amid several shouts, seeing nothing else.
"Hey, are you okay?" I listen, and with difficulty, I open my eyes.
I see everything dark and diverse lights in the form of lines dancing around me. Slowly I try to get up, all aching and I look around, eyes widening to see several people on the ground, injured. Other people carrying flashlights were beginning to help remove wounded people from there and I look where I am, seeing the suitcase completely destroyed between me and the wall and realize that if it were not for her, I might be dead.
"Are you hurt, boy?" A man in white asks, looking at me.
I get what's left of the suitcase and my purse that's also there, standing up.
"I think I'm okay," I say, despite pain in my right leg and head.
He helps me up the stairs and I find myself in the courtyard of the station, where I see several doctors treating the wounded. I feel my legs fail and I almost fall to the ground.
"Are you okay?" I hear the approach of a pair of men's shoes and look at the approaching person.
I'm surprised to see a handsome man with silver hair and blue eyes, wearing black suit with a white shirt inside.
"How are you feeling?" He asks, frowning at me. "Your face…"
"I already had them," I say, interrupting her.
"May I know your name?" He asks me.
"Yuuri Kunogi," I reply, bowing to him, before everything darken.
...
I wake up with the blurred vision of the right and dark side of the left side, recognizing only the beige and white color of the environment in which I am and listening to a continuous beep, on the other side, making me realize that I am in a hospital. I turn my face, seeing two people talking about me.
"... physical examinations showed recent injuries and the presence of components in his blood. By the name you gave me, I got his medical record and from what I read, he takes pain relievers, anti-depressants, and sleeping pills. "
"What do you think of that, Doctor?" I hear the voice of a woman, making me frown.
"Stress, trouble sleeping, panic attacks, nightmares, traumas ... Abuse ..." I listen. "And he's still young ..."
"Doctor?
"He needs help before he thinks of committing suicide," the doctor says. "And if you are his guardian, try to arrange that."
The noise I make when I move in bed violently catches their attention and I stare at the detective with a frown.
"Kunogi ... how do you feel?" I listen, but I do not care about the doctor, continuing to stare at the woman.
"My name is Hiroko Katsuki. From today, I will be your guardian for a year, "she says, with tears in her eyes.
I nod, lowering my face and setting in the bed.
"You were at the station when the train derailed and caused the collision with the platform. You were lucky to have minor injuries to his head and leg. "The doctor speaks, and I hear the sound of something being scratched, which makes my eyes widen. The beep sounds begins to play faster, catching their attention.
"He's having a panic attack," I hear, seeing several smudges before I feel my body regret and my sight darken aain.
Days later, I am discharged from the hospital and, accompanied by Katsuki-san and his family, I finally go to the place where I will live for a year. I stay speechless, responding only by gestures most of the time, setting myself up in a simple room. Deciding to sleep, I take a sleeping pill and fall back on the bed, looking at the ceiling until I feel the eyelids coming down from my eyes

I open my eyes and find myself surrounded by a metal railing, like a bird cage, in the middle of an all-blue room. Around my body, several chains surround me, making it impossible for me to move much.
"Welcome to the Velvet Room," a chilling voice says, and a strange, short, bald-headed man appears in front of me outside the cage. "My name is Igor and I'm here to make you a proposal. "
I frown, staring at him without moving.
"I see that your mind is more distorted than its predecessors. But it does not matter. The fact that you are here means you are ready. Yuuri Kunogi, or rather, Trickster, change people's hearts and discover the truth about yourself. Trace your own destiny. "

I absorb his words without understanding, and I am frightened to see floating next to him a blue book and a black and white mask.
"We'll start with your compendium and your first partner. You will know what to do when the time comes. On your mobile phone, an app will guide you through your destination. As your goals come true, more support will come to you, "he says, stopping talking to give a chuckle. "Now our time is running out. Until next time, Trickster. "
I nod, feeling my eyes closes. I open my eyes, tired, slowly acknowledging being in my new room. Recalling my dream with Igor, I grab my phone and see that there is a new app. One black eye on red background. Great, my favorite colors.
Today is the day I start studying at my new school, Shujin Academy. That already falls into my liking for the black and red uniform. I decide instead of wearing the whole uniform, wear only black and red pants, and the white sleeve shirt complimented with the school badge and the number two pendant on the high a black jacket that goes up to the legs, and a pair of black sneakers. I finish by putting my blue frame glasses and running my hand over badly cut hair. Picking up the school bag, I put in basic materials and go to the kitchen, feeling hungry. There, I meet the Katsuki couple having coffee.
"Good morning, Yuuri-chan." I hear Toshiya-san say, seeing the table full of food plates. "Breakfast is ready."
They look at me confused and I drag myself toward the empty chair next to Hiroko-san. I sit down, unable to hold back my tears.
"It's okay, Yuuri-chan. We just want your good. "She hugs me, and I feel a couple more arms wrap around me, and I hear Toshiya-san's voice beside me.
"Take the time you need to adapt to us. We only want you to be well. "
I say, biting my lip. And then I get scared to see something emerge in my field of vision.
