Third Person POV

After Brody got arrested he was taken to the police station down in an underground interrogation room. Though the agents were ruthless, they drug him si he couldn't move as they beat him up and use a lot of drugs and now he was uncouncious cuffed to a chair. Two syringes on the floor and a stern agent walked in "guess the drug was too strong..." he said "Wake him up" he said to another agent who dumped cold water on him.

Brody's POV

I gasp and cough waking up, ughh I feel my face really hurt my hands sore, my body sore as well "No dozing off" The agent said, I was also in my school uniform as I struggle trying to break my hands free "You still don't get it do you?" He asks "Give it up!" He said kicking me in the chest breaking the chair as I fall on the ground panting and coughing "Come on cooperate. Or what you want another shot?" He said putting his feet on my head and I look over seeing the camera "Huh? What about the camera?" The agent asked "Are you thinking it can be used as video evidence?" He asked pulling me by my head.

*Of course not....
*what do you mean...?
*.....

"....." I stayed silent and he pushed me down letting me go "Didn't you hear my question? Answer!" He said and kicked me in the stomach "Nngh ..!" I said coughing and wheezing, the agent grabs a paper "Obstruction of justice, blackmail, defamation, possession of weapons....Manslaughter too, yeah? Talk about the works" he said "To think that all those crimes were led by a punk like this...And you seemed to be enjoying every second of it...huh?" He asked 'I was....enjoying it...? I...can't remember....' I thought "...You should know your place" he said and one of the agents uncuff me and two of them force me to sit as I rub my hands "Sign here" the agent said "It's a confession under your name" he said.

*I understand
*......

"......fuck off" I mutter slapping the paper away "I see...I need your hand to sign this, but..." he said stepping on my knee "Aggh!" I said "I don't care if you end up losing a leg 'Prince' " he said and I snatched the paper glaring at him and he gives me a pen "Don't expect to walk out of here in one piece. We're going to make you understand...One must take full responsibility for their actions.." he said and I grab the pen signing under my name 'Brody Dreemurr' then give it back to the jerk.

Third Person POV

On the hallway to the interrogation room a woman was walking down there, who? A prosecution woman named Sae Niijima.

"Excuse me, but this area's off--" a police detective said "I'm Niijima from the Public Prosecutors Office" Sae said "The prosecutors office? What business do you have here?" The detective asked "Just let me through, it's urgent There's something I need to confirm with the suspect" Sae said "Niijima-san, I believe this case is no longer in your jurisdictio " he said "Are you prosecutor Sae Niijima?" An older detective up asked standing next to Sae "There's a call from your director. Hurry and get it over with. To be frank, you're being an inconvinience" he said and Sae grabbed her phone answering it "*sigh* I thought I ordered you to stand by" The SIU director said "I'm responsible for this case yet I'm not een being allowed an investigation?!" Sae asked "I'm calling because I knew you'd bring it up" The SIU said "I will not be convinced unless I confirm it for myself. This is my case" Sae said "*sigh* good luck to you then. I won't be expecting much though...." he said and hang up "ah prosecutor. I forgot to mention something important" the detective said "Your time will be vut short. We can't permit you to talk with him for long" he said and Sae sighs "It's for your own sake. His methods are unknown. After all, we don't even know if it's safe to simply meet and speak with him" he said "....I understand" Sae said.

Brody's POV

I was sitting with my hands resting on a table as a woman entere sitting infront of me on the same table "....I didn't expect it'd be you. Brody Dreemurr" Sae said "You'll be answering my questions this time" she said and looked to the side seeing a syringe on the floor "Those bastards..." Sae said then looked at me "Can you hear me? It seems you've been through a lot. Almlst anythingncan happen here...and I can't stop them" she said "That's why I need you to answer me honestly. I don't have much time either" Sae said "What was your objective? Why did you cause such a major incident?" She asked "I didn't think it was a prank from the get-go but I couldn't assemble a case for prosecution. It's because I couldn't figure out the method behind it" Sae said.

*Of course you couldn't....
*Why do you want to know....?

"Why do you want to know....?" I asked "This isn't an issue if whether or not it can be used in court. I need to know. This is my case, after all. It seems you're coherent" she said "When and where did you find out about that world? How is it even possible to steal another's heart? Now tell me your account of everything" she said "....start from the very beginning" she said and I rest my head on my hand.

I then see a faint butterfly fly around me "....you are held captive" A girl voice said "A prisioner of fate to a future that has been sealed in advance" she said "This is truly an unjust game...Your chances of winning are almost none" she said "But if my voice is reaching you, there may yet be a possibility open to you... you must stay determined" she said "...I beg you. Please overcome this game....and save the world..." she said "The key to victory lies within the memories of your bonds--the truth that you and your friends and the one who loves you grasped." She said "It all began that day...when the game was started half a year ago...For the sake of your world's future...as well as your own...you must remember" she said and I close my eyes.

*Half a year ago*

Brody's POV

Today is 4/9 and I woke up still in the train as I remember what happened before coming to this train that night.

"Please help!" A woman said as a man was pulling her forcing himself on her as I walked angry and pulled him away but the man was drunk and he tripped hiting the floor a bit of blood pouring from his forehead "Damn brat....I'll sue!" The man said standing up holding his face.

The police grabbed me and took me away.

I shake my head 'It's not fair' I thought"what? Are you for real? A mental shutdown?" I hear a girl talking "it's the truth!" Her friend daid "To a person though? That's gotta be a joke" the girl said.

As the train arrived I got out and walked down the street looking at my phone, Alphys made a new one after she learned all about the new technologies. I look ahead and suprised 'This must be shibuya....it's so crowded' I thought and then look at my phone seeing a weird Icon pop up  and I touch to get it off and suddenly everything around me stopped and I look around confused and then see a blue flame infront of me and me?.

But then everything was normal again '.....I need to sleep' I thought and deleted the weird app and went underground to grab a train.

Soon I got out when I arrived to Yongen-java and leave the underground station, once outside I look around 'Starting today, Sojiro Sakura will be taking care of me. His house should be in the backstreets of this residential area...' I thought.

After I got there he wasn't there and the mailman said he works at Cafe Leblanc so after some talking with people I enter this Cafe.

As I enter I look around seein an old couple and a man, probably the owner reading a newspaper "A public transit bus was driven diwn an opposing lane with its customers still in it!" A tabloid show host said on the TV "the citizens can't live in peace if this keeps up" he said "how frightening" the elder male customer said "What could be going on? Didn't something similar happen just the other day?" The elderly woman asked "Vertical is...the name of a shellfish used for farming pearl..." the manager said.

He then looked at me "....Oh, right" he said "They did say that was today" he said and the couple left "....Four hours for just a single cup of joe" he said "So you're Brody?" He asked

*please take care of me
*Is Sakura-san here?

"Is Sakura-san here?" I asked "I am. I'm Sojiro Sakura. You'll be in my custody over the next year. I was wondering what kinf of unruly monster prince kid would show up but you're the one huh?" He asked "Have you been told? A customer of mine and youe parents know each other and--Well not that that matters..follow me" Sojiro said and I followed him upstairs.

Upstairs is the attic...it's a mess, there's web on the shelfs bags of trash on the floor next to a stair, a few boxes here and there a lot of dust on the floor and a lot of books on a table cover by a blanket and a single bed and a couch "This is your room" he said 'Great.....' I thought "I'll at least give you sheets for your bed" He said, yeah that's my biggest problem in this room "You look like you wanna say something" he said.

*It's big
*It's cluttered

"It's big" I said "It's up to you to clean up the rest" Sojiro said 'The rest? It doesn't even look like it was touched in years!' I thought "I'll be leaving after I lock up each day. You'll be alone at night, but don't do anything stupid. I'll throw you out if you cause any trouble" he said "Now then...I got the gist of your situation. You protected some woman from a man forcing himself on her, he got injured, then sued you right?" He asked "That's what you get for sticking your nose in a matter between two adults. You did injure him, yeah?" He asks 'He got hurt himself. And what was I supposed to do let him abuse or rape that woman?' I thought "...And now that you've got a criminal record, you were refused to stay where your parents sent you originally. The courts ordered you to transfer and move out here, which your parents had to approved. In other words, they got rid of you for being a pain in the ass" He said 'What's with everyone being an ass with me? First that jerk and now my 'caretaker'? Humans haven't changed much huh?' I thought "It's best you not talk about anything unnecessary. I am in the restaurant business, you know. Behave yourself for the year if nothing happens, your probation will be lifted" he said

*Probation?
*A whole year...

"Probation?" I asked "Really now...It's the word that applies to you. Your sentence lasts until next spring right? That's why you're gonna be here for the coming year. Cause any problems, and you'll be semt straight to juvie" Sojiro said "We'll be going to Shujin tomorrow" he said

*Shujin?
*Going where?

"Going where?" I asked "Shujin academy-the school you'll be attending. We'll introduce ourselves properly to the staff there. There's rarely a place that'll accept someone like you, you know" he said 'Someone like me? What did I do? Murder people in cold blood? All I did was push a guy away from a woman, jeez' I thought "What a waste if my sunday..." he said 'I'm sorry I wanted to help' I thought "Your 'luggage' arrived earlier, I left them over there" he said and went downstairs and I sigh "It's gonna be a long year" I said.

'I'll be living here starting today...I should check out what's in here...' I thought looking at the box 'It's the cardboard box sent from back home. It's full of clothes and daily necessities. I'll change into more comfortable clothes for now' I said and changed into an orange shirt, blue pants and a yellow jacket "Now I should start cleaning" I said.

After sometime I clean the floor, clean of the webs, put my box in the shelf with bags of coffee beans and cleannmy bed. 'It's late....I've clean for a while....yet this room isn't fully clean' I thought with a sigh when Sojiro came back upstairs "What the heck? I heard you making all sorts of noise up here but I didn't think you were cleaning" Sojiro said looking around impressed "Actually, the place doesn't look too bad. Though it's only natural you'd want to keep your room tidy. Why don't you go to bed for tonight? You don't havr anything better to be doing, right?" He asks "I'm going to close up shop and get out of here myself. I won't be the one looking after you if you got sick from staying up too late, you got that?" He asks 'why is he being like this?' I thought as he left.

I changed into my pijamas and layed down on my bed with a sigh 'Arrest...trial...criminal record...' I thought 'Damn brat I'll sue!' I remember what that man told me 'Still I couldn't just let that go...' I thought.

*that night*
'That day...I was going to see the place I would be staying....'

I walked down the streets, it was night when I started hearing an argument "Just get in the car!" A man said "Stop it!" A woman said scared 'I can hear a man and a woman arguing in the distance...I think they're just up ajead...' I thought and kept walking "How dare you cross me!" The man said "stop it! Let me go!" The woman said "No!" She said struggling, "Don't give me that shit...." the drunk man said 'It looks like a drunk man is bothering that woman...I have to do something...' I thought "Ow! P-please, stop...!" She said 'I have to save her' I thought walking closer to them "Tch...what a waste of time" The man said "You think you're worth causing me trouble? Huh?" He asked "I-I'll call the police!" The woman said "heh call them if you want!" He said "The police are my bitches. They're not gonna take you seriously" he said 'What's with this guy?' I thought "No....stop...!" She said crying and police sirens are heard "Someone called the cops huh? Get in the car!" He said "Incompetent fools like you just need to shut your mouths and follow where I steer this country!" He said then he spot me "...What're you looking at? Get outta my face!" He said "Leave her alone" I said "This ain't a show. Get lost, kid" he said "See? This is all because you're so damn slow!" He said "Get in the car!" The man said.

*Back to the present*

I sigh annoyed and close my eyes when my hpone rings, I take it out thinking it's mom and the others, at least they believed me. "Hm, it's that weird app that somehow ended up on my phone..." I said "The icon looks almost like an eye..." I said 'I thought I deleted it...' I thought as I delete it again and sigh closing my eyes and prep my save.

*The feeling of knowing the school you'll be attending for the the following year as well as what's next for you. Fills you with determination
