Summary: Nagi Hasegawa, 23, is a young and famous model until an accident changes her life forever. Now going as Chrome Dokuro and fleeing from the city to a small peaceful town.

Prologue
The middle aged receptionist looked up and yawned delicately, it was too early in her mind. With the fog drifting lazily outside the hotel how could it be a decent hour. Looking around the area she spotted a petite purple haired lady talking to someone on her phone. Normally she would just dismiss this but she knew for a fact that this was the mysterious woman that came last night during a heavy downpour. Although the said lady had her hood up back then, she could see that the woman had a porcelain complexion that most rich people seem to naturally possess. Today she wore an indigo dress that stopped above her knee and short boots with reasonable heels. She could tell from this far that the clothes were the expensive kind, she sniffed pointedly upon seeing that the lady pinned up the top of her hair in an inelegant updo which was carelessly being held up by a silver barrette. Women these days, others take too much care with their hair while others just don't. She quickly patted her carefully made bun and glared at the lady's hair.
The lady was completely unaware of the receptionist's disapproval; she was talking to the phone in a soft and determined voice.

"I'm sorry Mukuro but I had to leave the city and my old life behind. Yes, I know it was wrong of me to leave without a word of goodbye but we both know it's better this way. Of course I'll call you the moment I get to Namimori. I'll be safe, you know I'm a careful driver. Now I have to go if I want to get there with the sun still up in the sky. No! I have to do this, I need to learn to be strong on my own two feet."
She fiddled with the pendant of her necklace while listening to the other's side.
"I understand. Thank you. I have full trust on you and the other's to handle it. Mukuro, promise me you'll call me if something unexpected happens, of course I'll follow your instructions unless it means I have to go back there. Yes, I know. I'm sorry, give my regards to them. Bye. Ti voglio bene."
Ending the call she smiled out at the window and put on her jacket and shades. She then walked towards the now bored receptionist so that she could be on her way.
