Intro from unexpectedly early...

[middle_route]

*There is a soldier here, sitting against the wall with his eyes closed. It looks like he's been crying recently, though no tears are falling now.

A Pixie sits on his shoulder while a Slime oozes all over the carpet nearby.*

Lame! I can't believe revival beads didn't work! Do you humans really suck that much?Pixie...just be quiet for a moment

[A big wolf is approaching you, curiously.]

"Grrrrrr?"

[Sniff, sniff.]

[middle_route]

*...what is that demon? Well, it's acting like a dog, so maybe it responds the same way as one. Rudy holds out his hand for it to sniff.*

[coercedsaint]

[It sniffs his hand, curiously. Then, its ears perk up.]

Fenrir, I hope you're being good...

[...So, someone very, very familiar walks up and looks at you.]

[middle_route]

...What the- *Rudy stands up so quickly Pixie is thrown off his shoulder. She and Slime are instantly attentive and tense.* Identify yourself! What are you, and why do you look like me?

[demifemme]

*There is a half-dressed girl covered in tattoos over there reading a book and drinking from a can. She grimaces and grit her teeth after every sip. Maybe she knows where you are.*

[middle_route]

*With that horn, definitely not human. Though, it's a demon he's never seen before, why is she showing up clearly? Rudy stands up and approaches her carefully.* Excuse me...

[demifemme]

Hm? *She looks up at him, coughing against her hand, half-choked.*

[middle_route]

... *She doesn't look too good.* ...Are you okay?

[summum_ius]

[There's a young man staring at you, Rudy, backpack slung over one shoulder.]

... Need a hand?

[middle_route]

*A human...? And looks like a civilian, at that. This is definitely not the Schwartzwelt.* ...Where am I?

[summum_ius]

A mall with a mind of its own, apparently.

[middle_route]

A mall with... *He looks at his surroundings.*

Weeeird. Is it like a big demon? *Pixie flutters her wings.*

[pink_cadenza]

...someone is staring at you.

If you were to look around, you'd find a red-haired girl in a Japanese school uniform looking at you with an uncertain expression.

[middle_route]

*He looks up, looking just as uncertain. This really isn't the Red Sprite...*

[pink_cadenza]

"Um, uh..."

Stammering.

"Do you...do you need some help?"

[middle_route]

I...well, it looks like I'm lost. What is this place?
