>Prologue<
New World
There once was a girl who had no place to belong. The girl was alone. Her feeble voice did nothing to her. Nothing awaited for her. All she can think about was how she possessed the worst possible set of cards, being dealt an absolute bad ending no matter what she did. With no hope in sight, she dared to wish that she could start anew where she was no longer by such a cruel world. It could never come true, there was never the chance of it happening. For she followed the rules without question...
It was happening again. I was alone without warning. My head resounded with an ache that didn't want to go away. I guess those were my only senses at the moment. Being left with only pain. Come to think of it... I didn't know much about myself, did I? If I didn't know anything else, why was I still here? If I don't know my purpose, why do I exist?
Thinking about it only greeted me with a more painful headache. That was a sign to stop thinking about it altogether. And that pain was replaced completely with... nothing. I wasn't sure what was worse, the fact that I remembered nothing before this point, the fact that whenever I thought on my own only resulted with pain, or the fact that I was being forced to feel nothing.
Then, there was something. I heard something that I can make out the words from, words spoken from two different people...
❝ Are you sure about this? I know that I'm turning a blind eye to all this... but what if you get caught by them? You're already upholding a terribly bad reputation in their eyes, and if they catch wind of this, it's going to be even worse for you. ❞
❝ I'll be fineee. Those geezers are so uptight with their rules and stuff that they've got no clue how to handle someone like me at this point. Plus, you're the one who initially requested that I use my authority to resolve a favor of yours, right? You specifically told me that I can do so by any means necessary, or did I hear that wrong? Hmmm? ❞
❝ Yeah... I did. I don't know why, but hearing that from you doesn't help your case. Maybe I should've heeded that warning from the boy who happens to be housing you, but too late for that... ❞
❝ You got that right, missy. There wasn't going to be any backing out of this once you told me about your situation, and the prep artifacts you passed along to me. And the fact that you told me some super key info that I wasn't even aware of. Heck, I underestimated how much you and a former colleague would do this kind of stuff behind the higher-ups supervision. Don't go throwing away my ounce of respect for you by attempting to back out now~ ❞
❝ ... Alright, guess a deal's a deal... Erm, not to intrude, but what's with that... I don't know, that familiar over there? Assuming it's part of the prep. ❞
There was a pause within the conversation. The sound of footsteps approached me, and I felt a hand brush against my cheek.
❝ Oh, this? This is specifically to go with the stuff you gave me. I had to keep this one safe and secure before I got everything set up and moving along. Speaking of which, I should probs go now and initiate the plan. You can return to your nifty seat with the others, it's all on me now. ❞
❝ And if not, I won't have to keep myself quiet on matters regarding you in the future. ❞
A confident-sounding laugh followed that last statement before everything went quiet again.
Regardless of what was taking place before now, regardless of whatever circumstances that led up into this point, regardless of what was planned initially. Regardless of anything, many others find themselves standing around near a bus stop, sounds of a bus driving away from a hiking trail from the looks of it. Along with that, a bell's chime echoed, which left only the feeling that something was taken away and altered for reasons unknown. Such as traits of the supernatural or possessions that did not fit this rural location's atmosphere, going as far as adjustments being made to some's appearance. There, two individuals up ahead appeared to be waiting for them, not seeming to acknowledge the sound of a bell going off.
A woman with long green hair kept her gaze on her clipboard, not seeming to greet them what-so-ever. On the other hand, a younger woman with shorter green hair perked up once seeing the others nearby.
❝ About time you all showed! I was getting so tired of waiting! ❞ The teenager exclaimed, getting up from the bench she was sitting at. Without hesitation, she jogs over to meet with the group, bringing herself to a halt in order to make sure her glasses don't slip off. ❝ Huh, so this is what miss Cecilia meant by this being a strange bunch... Anyways, I'm Nia! Welcome to the Hinamizawa village tour! ❞
