In a vast, black room, two chairs faced each other, with a single candle flickering dimly between them. The air was cold, and shadows danced eerily across the walls. A man with brown hair, dressed in a formal suit, sat with a calm tone, his face betraying a hint of tension:
"Do those nightmares still haunt you?"
The other man, pale-faced with long white hair, looking exhausted, replied:
"Yes…they still come to me."
The brown-haired man sighed, as if weighed down by heavy disappointment:
"Well…I can't help you, unless you tell me what happened that day."
The white-haired man nodded slowly and began to recount:
"The sky was clear,the clouds white as silk, and the grass was green beneath my feet. I was lying down when I heard a familiar voice calling me: 'Eugene… wake up!'"
He opened his eyes sluggishly: "Rene? What is it?"
"Come on! It's my mother's birthday today!" Rene exclaimed with clear urgency.
Eugene flustered: "Oh my God… I forgot to buy a gift!"
Rene laughed: "Hahaha… You're not alone, you fool!"
Amid laughter and tension, they headed together to the market of "Elisou" village, where crowds of people and merchants bustled, and the scent of fresh bread filled the air. Between the shops, each of them picked out their gift, as the sun began to set.
But before they could return, the weather suddenly shifted. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, purple lightning tore through the horizon, and strange symbols converged at the village center. A powerful beam shot down from the sky, and silence fell over the place.
Boooom!
Flames engulfed the houses, screams filled the air, and blood mixed with the soil. The moment Eugene tried to comprehend what was happening, Rene rushed and pushed him away from a massive rock hurtling toward him.
And in that moment, a mysterious man appeared, dressed in a black suit, bearing an emblem of a headless man with six wings.
Eugene found himself back in a dark room, chained to an iron chair, his head throbbing with pain.
The heavy door creaked open, and a detective in a hat and formal attire entered, placing a file in front of him:
"Eugene…we need to talk."
