"Welcome to the Velvet Room, my name is Igor." said a long nosed man in a suit. "This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Igor." said a grey-haired teenager. "My name's Yu Narukami."
"I see, well Mr. Narukami do you believe in fortune telling?" Igor asked calmly.
"I think it's somewhat interesting." Yu said politely.
"Indeed, each fortune is told with the same cards, but the result is always different." Igor said as a deck of tarot cards appeared in front of him. "The card depicting your immediate future is, the Tower in the upright position. It would seem a terrible catastrophe is imminent at your destination."
"Great, well hopefully the next card paints a less ominous picture." Yu said.
"We shall see." Igor said calmly. "The card depicting the future beyond that is, the Moon in the upright position. This card represents hesitation, and mystery."
"That's great, well at least this coming year won't be boring." Yu said thoughtfully.
"We shall see." Igor said. "Ah, before I forget allow me to introduce my assistant. She will aid you in your journey."
"My name is Margaret, I look forward to seeing what path you will take in this coming year." said a blonde woman in a blue dress.
"Hold onto this." Igor said calmly handing Yu a small blue key. "Until we meet again."

"That was a strange dream, I wonder who those two were." Yu said before noticing something in his pocket. "Wait, that wasn't a dream? I guess I'll see those two again at some point."
"Hey, you dropped this." said a voice from behind him.
"I did?" Yu asked turning to see a girl behind him. "Well thanks."
"Whatever, I just picked it up." the girl said before walking off.
"That was strange, well I'm supposed to meet my uncle here." Yu said looking around the station.
"Over here." said a voice before Yu walked up to a man and a little girl. "It's been a while, I'm your uncle Ryotaro Dojima."
"Yeah, how long has it been?" Yu asked.
"It's been a while." Dojima said. "Say hello to your cousin Nanako."
"Hello." Nanako said quietly.
"Your name is Nanako, it's nice to meet you." Yu said with a smile.
"I have a feeling you two will get along well." Dojima said calmly. "Come on, my car is over there."

"Hold on, I need to fill up real quick." Dojima said pulling into a gas station.
"That's alright." Yu said.
"Dad, I have to use the bathroom." Nanako said quietly.
"I guess it's a good thing I stopped then." Dojima said. "Can you go on your own?"
"Yes." Nanako said in annoyance getting out of the car as a gas-station attendant ran up to the car.
"Welcome to Moel, are you going on a trip?" the attendant asked.
"No, we actually were just picking someone up from the station." Dojima said.
"Yes sir." the attendant said as Dojima and Yu got out of the car.
"Now's as good a time as any for a smoke." Dojima said thoughtfully before walking off.
"Oh, are you from the city?" the attendant asked.
"Yeah, why?" Yu asked.
"I can tell, you have that kind of vibe about you." the attendant said. "Looks like you're going to be stuck here for a while. Still, if you ever need a part-time job stop by."
"I might take you up on that offer." Yu said shaking the attendants hand as Nanako and Dojima walked back up to the car and the attendant ran to fill up the car.
"Are you ok?" Nanako asked.
"Yeah, I'm just a little carsick that's all." Yu said rubbing his head. What was that, he thought.
"Ok." Nanako said quietly.
"Why don't you walk around for a bit and get some air." Dojima suggested. "Just let me know when you want to get going."
"I'm alright, but thanks for offering." Yu said calmly.
"Well if you're sure." Dojima said.

"Is this your house?" Yu asked.
"Yeah, and for the next year it's your home too." Dojima said. "Make yourself at home."
"Thanks." Yu said politely as the three of them walked into the house.
"Nanako, show your cousin to his room ok?" Dojima asked.
"Ok." Nanako said walking up the stairs.
"Thanks Nanako." Yu said following her. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Night." Nanako said quietly.

"What the, where am I?" Yu asked in confusion looking around. "Wait this must be some kind of dream."
"Are you the one searching for me?" asked a voice.
"I guess, so where are you?" Yu asked calmly.
"If you seek the truth come and find me." the voice said.
"Well, that was interesting." Yu said thoughtfully. "Still, there's nowhere to go but forward so let's see what's waiting at the end of this path."
As he said that, Yu walked along the red pathway until he reached a door that opened on its own.
"So you are the one who has been seeking me." said a figure obscured by fog.
Suddenly a sword materialized in Yu's hands.
"This is the strangest dream I've ever had, but oh well." Yu said swinging the sword at the figure.
"It seems you can see a little." the figure said in amusement.
"I guess so, let's try this again." Yu said swinging at the figure a second time.
"I see, perhaps we will meet again at some point." the figure said calmly.
As the figure said that, the fog got even thicker completely obscuring it from Yu.
"Wait, who or what are you?" Yu asked in confusion. "No, what's happening?"
As the fog continued to grow thicker Yu slowly lost consciousness and everything faded.
