After the 3 strangers in Ren's room say their names, even more questions start to rise.


Now that things had calmed down a little bit and everyone was a bit more chill, it was time to start questiong the 3 as to why they were in Ren's room.

"I have no idea, we just woke up here" - Ritsuka said while he tried to remember if there was anything prior to them arriving to that room, yet he couldn't remember anything else.

"Same here, and Mash as well" - Tachibana followed - "We don't remember anything before coming here" -

"How in the world do you just pop up in someone's room without knowing how?" - Ren asked confused - "Did you came here from the Meta..." -

"No, don't tell them!" - Morgana quickly jumped and interrupted Ren.

"I'm sorry but having a talking cat in the room is really weird. Is he like some sort of robot or something?" - Mash asked, not knwoing what Morgana was exactly.

"It would make sense, maybe some weird prototype toy" - Tachibana continued - "Do you know if they come in other models? I want a brown one" -

"I'm not a toy and I'm not a cat!" - Morgana yelled at them.

"Then what are you? Cats don't normally talk" - Ritsuka asked.

"Grr... Alright, I'll tell you just so you know that I'm not a cat" - Morgana prepared to tell them all - "I come from a place known as the Metaverse, where I take on a completly different form. When coming to the real room, I take on this form, but I'm not a cat!" -

"Metaverse? What the hell is that?" - Ritsuka asked again.

"It's a space formed by the collective unconscious of humanity. We come exactly from a Palace, a distorted space created by the desires of one person" - Morgana continued.

"Yeah, even if those desires are gross... Ugh" - Ryuji said, remembering Kamoshida's Palace and how he appeared dressed there, with nothing but pink underwear, sandals and a red cape.

"Only those that have been in a Palace can hear Morgana and understand him, which means that all 3 of you passed trough a Palace before ending here, even if you don't remember it" - Ren said. It was a pretty plausible theory.

"So they just left the Palace and magically appeared in your room? That's pretty suspicious" - Ryuji continued.

"Maybe, but it's the best so far, there aren't any other explanations as to why they are here, and why they can hear what Morgana says" -

"It would help if they remembered anything, but so far it's the best..." - Ann said before she was interrupted by Tachibana.

"Well, we didn't said it before but we do remember one thing" - the girl with orange hair said, grabbing the attention of Ren and his group.

"It's not much, just 1 word... Chaldea" - Ritsuka continued the words of his sister - "I can't explain what it is but..." -

"We all remember it, that's the only thing that we can 100% say we remember" - and Mash ended.

"Chaldea? Chaldea... Nope, doesn't sound like anything I've heard before" - Ren said.

"That's the reason we didn't said it before, it's not really useful" - Tachibana talked before her stomach made noise, indicating she was hungry - "Uh... Sorry" -

"Don't worry. I'll go down and get you some coffee and donuts, anyone else wants something?" - Ren asked before hedding downstairs.

"Nothing for me" -

"Coffee please" -

"A donut would be nice" -

"Cofee and milk please"

"Bring me milk!" -

In order: Ann, Ryuji, Mash, Ritsuka, Morgana.

After a few minutes downstairs, Ren came up with the food for everyone. Now that they alredy interrogated the three, they had to take a decision.

"Well, if they don't remember anything and don't have anywhere to go, then I guess they can stay with me at least for the night" - Ren said.

"Are you sure, what if they're dangerous?" - Ann asked before turning to look at them, with them joking about spinning the donuts in their fingers - "I mean..." -

"Don't worry, and I have Morgana who can warn me in the middle of the night" -

"Hey, I need to sleep too you know?" -

"I'll need your help, at least for the night" -

After that, Ren turned to the three, who were finished their food.

"Hey, tomorrow we'll find out what to do, but at least for tonight you'll be sleeping here in my house" -

"Are you sure? We don't want to be a bother" - Mash said.

"I'm sure" -

"Well, thank you" - the girl with pink hair went with the other two and told them.

A few minutes later, Ryuji and Ann left for their homes and Ren stayed with the 3. 1 of them would sleep in his couch and the other two in the ground, both Ritsuka and Tachibana agreed that Mash would take the couch.

After everyone went to sleep, Ren stayed awake for a few minutes more, watching the 3 and hoping they weren't going to try anything. While he was doing that, Ann called him.

"Hey, everything fine over there?" - the girl asked.

"Yes, they're sleeping peacefully" - the boy answered - "What do you think of them?" -

"They seem fine, but we can't trust their looks" - Ann answered - "The girl with orange hair is cute tho" -

"Agreed" -

"What will we do tomorrow with them? They can't stay here, Sojiro will start asking questions" -

"I alredy have it planned, don't worry about it" -

"Well then, I'll see you tomorrow at school. Are we still on with the plan?" -

"Yes, tomorrow we'll secure the route to the Tresure" -

"Roger that leader, rest well" -

After than, Ann hunged up and Ren took one good look at them before going to sleep.

/ ? /

"Hello? Is anyone here?" -

Ritsuka was in a completly black space, not knowing how did he arrived there nor if someone was with him.

At the distance, a bright golden light caught his attention. With care, he started to get closer until he could finally see what it was.

"Is that... A cup?" -


Before continuing, I'm just going to clarify that in this universe, Ritsuka and Tachibana (fan name for Gudako) are the Fujimaru siblings.
