The pale, bright yellow sun hung low in Death City; It's low cackle reverberating throughout the city. A thick red blood oozed from it's open mouth. It shone particularly brightly today; causing a glare on the DWMA, In which young meisters and weapons attended.

Inside the building, a handsome, grey-haired man covered in stiches snook up on his ruby haired pal.

"What's the matter, Senpai? You seem ill. Maybe you should take a nap." Dr. Stein smiled mischievously at his weapon partner, Spirit Albarn ; Thrilled when he shivered uncomfortably. How he wanted to experiment like the good ol' days. Stein was a rather sadistic man; Always looking for test subjects. He craved knowledge in the worse way.

"Eh! Stein- Don't do that." Spirit cursed, glaring at his colleague. It was often like this between the two; awkward and scary. However; If there was anyone whoe could truly be such a man's friend; It was Spirit. Though Spirit was a womanizing, troublesome person, he was also very caring and kept Stein in control.

"Relax, Senpai!" Stein cheered, grabbing his partner by his shoulder in an awkward friendly side-embrace. It only served too further disturb Spirit though, who was getting impatient.

"Why are you here?"

"Lord Death told me too request your presence in the Death Room." Stein laughed at the unnamused expresion his old friend was giving him. Spirit was always quite the test subject.

He adjusted his glasses, turning around before exiting.

An interesting subject indeed, He thought while twisting large the screw in his head.
