On a dark and dreary night, the air thick with dew from a storm that is on its way, seventeen individuals arrive at an old mansion on the outskirts of the city. The building is surrounded by a thick of forest, only one road leading up to its front gate. Invitations are shown to the doorman, everyone arriving under the pretense of a party to celebrate the new year. The front doors creak open to reveal a grand hallway with a master staircase at the end. Down walks the host of the party.

Yajiro | Day 1, Afternoon | Chapter 1

To be told that you and seventeen others are the only ones left with free will, that you’re all alone in this world with either the option to kill or be killed. It’d be hard for anyone to stomach. Akinori was not excluded. Although Akinori seemed calm, his stomach was twisting in knots. 

Though soon, a smile laced his lips, and it seemed that all troubled thoughts had left his mind. Any tense bone in his body had slackened. He seemed oddly relaxed for what had just been announced, even as the time ticked away in his watch. 

“Just don’t try to think about it as much,” Akinori thought to himself. His thoughts were the one place he didn’t use his usual manner of speaking. 

Instead of sticking around and hearing what everyone would have to say, Akinori started to walk back to the dormitories. “And so, with steady steps, the boy had walked back to his dorm room after a long tiring day...” Despite nobody being there, he continued to narrate every action. At the start of his leave, during it, and even as he made it to the lobby.

“And so, the boy finally reached the entrance to the dorms, while it was not a laborious task, it was a long distance...”

This is my chapter 1 of my newest fanfiction, it is my version of what has happened after Erik left the Persian’s house that night, and what had followed. Well, it is kind of a prequel to Devil’s Little Face. I hope you will like it.
