The scene fades in to a car driving across the road, late at night. Driving the car is an elderly man. He is wearing a black robe that hides his. Body. He is bald, with faded dark red eyes, and a grey beard that reaches his chest. Sitting next to him, in the passenger's seat, is a teenage girl wearing a black waistcoat over a white button-up shirt. She has sleek black trousers, along with black socks and black leather shoes. She has pink/brown hair tied into two small ponytails at the back and faded dark red eyes. She is resting her head on her left palm and staring out of the window, struggling to keep her eyes open
(Diver) You awake, Masuyo?
(Masuyo)
Yes, Grandfather...
Barely...
I am now...
(Grandfather) Get some rest. You've had a long day.
With those words, Masuyo drifts into a deep sleep
Masuyo awakens to find herself not in the car from before, but in a very, VERY blue room. As her eyes adjust to the new lightning, she finds that she is sitting at what appears to be a wooden school desk. In front of her is an old man sitting behind a long wooden desk. The top of the man's head was bald, and the hair on the sides and back of his head was as white as snow. He had an abnormally long nose, and his eyes seemed to be bursting from their sockets. He sat with his shoulders rested on the desk, with his hands interlocked under his nose, as if supporting it. Behind his desk is a large green chalkboard
(Old Man) Welcome to the Velvet Room. Do not be alarmed. You are fast asleep in the real world.
(Masuyo)
Who are you?
What is this place?
(Igor) My name is Igor. I am the master of this place that exists between dream and reality. To your right is my assistant.
Masuyo turns to her right to see a second desk, identical to her own, occupied by a man with short white hair and yellow eyes. He is wearing a blue uniform that resembles the one wore by Male students of the private school Masuyo used to attend. A simple blazer worn over a button-up and tie. Sleek trousers and plain leather shoes
(Assistant) A pleasure to make your acquaintance.
He spoke with a calm yet firm tone
(Marco) My name is Marco
(Masuyo)
Hey...
Pleased to meet you
Polo!
(Igor) This room changes appearance based on the heart of its guest.
The man calling himself Igor looks around
(Igor) My my... This room is quite small and confined. Perhaps it is because of how you are feeling in the real world.
(Masuyo)
Why am I here?
This is just a dream...right?
(Igor) You're arrival here marks a turning point in your destiny. However, we are running low on time. I will explain more when next we meet. Until then~
Before Masuyo can ask more questions, her vision fades to black
Masuyo awakens to her grandfather shaking her awake
(Grandfather) We're here, Masuyo.
Masuyo looks around, conforming that she is no longer in that strange blue room. Was it really all just a dream? Masuyo decides she is too tired to think about it now. She follows her grandfather into the building
(Grandfather) There's a spare bedroom upstairs. Left corridor, third door.
Masuyo heads upstairs and finds the room. She quickly collapses onto her bed and falls once again into a deep sleep
