Today marks the opening day of this countryside’s 109 Mall. A branch hailing from Tokyo had come to bless this little town with the same convenience one can expect of being within the big city. It brought quite a stir revolving around the days of its construction and now that it was finally here people were already in line simply waiting to shop. The store had even attracted the attention of one other young man as well, there within the crowd of young adults stood a teen that would be recognizable by his frizzy mane of hair. Akira, like most teenagers, had anticipated this day, thinking this would be a great opportunity to shop for some quality clothing that could be used for his nights about town upholding the law from within the shadows.[break][break]

Right now he just hopes Morgana was behaving himself with his parents, there was no way the store was going to allow him to roam around wearing a bag..thus came the unfortunate conclusion of leaving him behind. However, the sound of multiple phone alarms ringing in sync had brought the young trickster out of his wave of thought and back into reality, NOW Was the time for the shop to open and just as promised the ‘closed’ sign was changed to open by an employee within the store, then just like that him and the people rush inside the large mall that really looked like a hotel from the inside. [break][break]

Once inside Akira began to dust his shoulders and upper arms from all of that scuffling just to get in, to think had he not blend in with the crowd he would have probably been trampled by now. “Think I’ll try the hardware section.” The young man spoke under his breath. Buying tools were also very essential and there were only so many he could have gotten from the more humble stores the countryside had offered in comparison to the big city. On his way towards the escalators, he felt something faint..something familiar. This eerie feeling causes him to see a young girl wearing a velvet blue dress..however, as quickly as he blinked the girl had disappeared. “Lavenz-” ‘No.’ Akira cuts his sentence and mentally denies these claims. They’ve done it, they’ve ended Mementos and the Metaverse so there should be no reason he’s seeing signs of it a year later. Perhaps it was the heat, yes, his mind was ready to simply blame the heat from the outside that caused this little episode but it wasn’t too long until he heard her voice echoing within his mind. “The time will arrive where you will be put to battle once again.” [break][break]

And after hearing that, he accepted this was happening once again. Now standing still within the crowd of people, both his arms tucked into his pockets as he cleared his mind and just like that his subconsciousness awoke within a world filled with nothing but darkness but what illuminated this darkness was the velvet hue of the attendant’s dress. “It’s been quite some time Trickster. I’m glad you’ve answered my call. I’ve come to give you a warning on my master’s behalf, he says ‘The tower of demise has returned, but fear not for you are not alone in this upcoming battle. Seek out your ally and together hopefully you can thwart the day of reckoning. Seek the one that knows about the Dark Hour’” Then just like that the female vanishes and his mind brought back into reality. Eyes opening widely before the trickster shook his to further bring him back, realizing he was still inside the mall, right before the directional board that instructed shoppers the location of the different aisle. “The...Dark Hour..” The trickster mutters, he was not loud by any means but the words would have still been caught by anyone paying attention.
