akira step forward to the door of his cell he was greeted by deep eerie voice
"trickster…..welcome to my velvet room"
An old man siting on working desk, but he's not just an old man he has a long nose, a crooked back wearing what it seems to be Victorian butler suit, akira instinctively shake the door of his cell
"so you've come to, inmate" the girl on his left start talking with high and mighty voice
"the you in reality is currently fast asleep you only experiencing this as a dream" the girl on his right followed with more calm and mature voice
The girl on his left start yelling "you in the present of our master, stand up straight!"
"welcome. I am delighted to make your acquaintance. This place exists between dream and reality. Mind and matter. It is a room only those bound by "contract" may enter. I am Igor the master of this place. Remember it well."
Akira try his best to stay calm but the scene before him was to eerie and out of place. 'velvet room'
'trickster' 'contract' 'did I get kidnaped ?' he remember one of the story that his father tell him, how some people get kidnap in their sleep, and end up lost some of their organs, but no…this is different he feels like he's walking on air his body relaxed but his mind racing
"I summoned you to speak of important matters. It involves your life"
"LET ME OUT!" akira start to shake his door in front oh him but quickly jump back as he felt sharp pain from his hand from stun baton that hit the cell
"know your place, inmate! Who do you think you're talking to?!" the girl yelled at him.
"still this is a surprise…the state of this room reflects the state of your heart. To think a prison would appear as such. You truly are a prisoner of fate. In the near future, there is no mistake that ruin awaits you."
"what, ruin?"
"I speak of the end of everything"
"are you kidding me?"
Igor just reply with chuckle "however if you wish, we can provide means to oppose such a fate"
"well I rather avoid ruin"
"very well, the contract has been sealed, as for now allow me to observe the path of your rehabilitation"
'rehabilitation, contract ?'
"ah allow me to introduce you to my assistance, to your right caroline; to jour left Justine. They serve as your wardens here."
"hmph! Try and struggle as hard as you like" caroline start
"the duty of wardens is to protect inmate. We are also your collaborators. That is… if remain obedient."
They speak in a perfect sync as if they're one person although their personality is polar opposite caroline is brash almost rude meanwhile Justine clam almost cold.
"I shall explain the roles of those two at another occasion. Now then, it seems the night is waning… it is almost time. Take your time to understand this place. We will meet again, eventually…"
After igor finish his sentence a loud ring like the fire alarm start ringing throughout the the place, everything around him began to blur

"hey, you're up?"
"coming…"
"well lets get going, the school you'll be attending is in aoyama district. You can get there with the train, I'll drive there for you but just for today"

"hey. Do me a favor and behave yourself alright? I don't care what happen to you just don't cause me any trouble."
Akira just nod. As they start walking to the main building he scan his surrounding while following sojiro to the third floor. The school was much bigger that his previous school he's wondering why did private school like this want to accept a student with a criminal record. After a while they stand in front a dor and sojiro start knocking
"come in.."
The next thing that akira see was almost make him laugh, it was a overweight man in his fourty wearing a suit that can bearly contain his body ,big nose like a thumb, pointy ear, thick eyebrows on the head with the shape of an egg he can see the name plate on his desk "kobayakawa" he was like a character you make on the video game when you just want to mess around 'why did have no neck?' akira trying his hardest not to burst out laughing.
"they're treating you like a nuisance. I guess that's what it means to have criminal record"
'uh-huh tell me about it'
"by the way… I wont hesitate to kick you out if you got expelld. Got it?!"
"I know I'll be careful"
"come on we're going home."
"what a troublesome situation" he start clicking his tongue. "no matter I just crush him just like every body else" a big grin planted in his face "this is my castle after all."
