((I'm really focusing on Set here... dunno why))

Set POV

I kept wondering about the strange world that I was in. It wasn't like my other 'dreamscapes' as those outside would call them, but more like an actual interaction with a being outside of our world. I don't know how I could speak with her... I didn't even get to say anything last time. I've got to try again. I concentrated... concentrated...

And I forgot that I was walking.

I collapsed in the middle of the sidewalk and many eyes drew in my direction. My vision swam, and I heard voices as people fussed over me. There was one high-pitched voice that sounded familiar... I attempted to open my eyes and saw two heads of orange hair. "Omigosh! Is she alright??" I heard one say. The other, in a deeper voice said, "Look, her eyes are red..." all went silent after that.

"Wake up, child." That voice again.

I slowly stood on the beach I was on last time. The woman with the red ribbon stood in front of me. It was blurry, and parts of her were glitching out of proportion, like a staticky TV. I couldn't see her face. She held her hand out to me, and I placed my hand inside it. We teleported to the house of Mary and Mari, at least i think it was, because it looked just as Kousuke described it. "We cannot speak for long. You are too far from my spirit's dwelling. You must go--it is very urgent. Something bad is coming. Your life--and the lives of your friends--depend on this. But first, you must gather all of those with the red eyes."

"Wha-what do you mean...?" I jumped up off the hard ground. There were lots of people surrounding me, some I knew and some I didn't. But... was that the idol... Kisaragi Momo? And it appeared she had a twin... I'd never heard of him before. I decided to ask them a question. "Do you... have the red eyes?" They looked startled, but they slowly nodded. I smiled. "Then," I said, slowly reaching out to them, "will you be my friends? Please?" I pleaded with my eyes and my words. They both looked at me. "S-Sure." They said in sync. I smiled back at them. "Thank you very much." I smiled brighter.

I slowly got up from my position on the ground and took their hands. "It's very nice to meet both of you." I bowed. "I am Set Kousuye." I pointed to my brother, who seemed to be confused. "This is my brother, Seto Kousuke." Kousuke nodded shakily. "Very delighted to meet you both," He said. "You have them too, then." They nodded and bowed. "I'm Kisaragi Momo." The girl said. "I'm Kisaragi Mono." The boy said. They looked very close.

Kano smiled brightly. "Yo! I'm Kano Shuuya, delighted to meet you. This is my sister, Kani Kuuya." He winked, and seemed to send the other twins into an air of discomfort. ((Wow Kani Kuuya sounds stupid. Oh well.)) Ayano Onee-chan smiled and waved at the tops of her toes. "I'm Tateyama Ayano! Glad to meet you. I hope we can all be friends together!" They smiled at her. "Us too!" They said. Then they looked rather confused. "Who... who is that back there?" They pointed at Tsubomi, hiding behind Onee-chan. "I-I-I'm Tsubomi K-Kido... nice to m-meet you..." Momo smiled and greeted her back, but Mono frowned. "I swear, I've seen some who looks just like you at my father's job... he was at bring your kid to work day. His name was... was... Kidd. Kidd Tsubomu. He was rather obnoxious, though...." Tsubomi jumped up and grabbed Mono shirt. "You-you've seen my brother? Where?!" Mono jumped. "H-He lives on my street with his grandparents..." Tsubomi latched on tighter. "Lead us there, please." Mono smiled nervously. "Alright then, let's go..."

As we walked to Mono's neighborhood, I looked at Tusbomi. She looked more determined than ever. She was walking with a whole new pride and even her gait was different. She puffed out her chest. She undoubtedly wanted to look tough for her brother. When we got to the house, Tsubomi rang the doorbell. We all waited at the bottom of the stairs. Sure enough, a boy who looked exactly like Tsubomi opened the door. He had glasses, but that was their only facial difference. His eyes widened at the sight of Tsubomi. "O-Onee-chan..." he gasped, "Is that really you?" Tsubomi smiled. "I found you." Kidd hugged Tsubomi and started to cry. "I-I missed you... so much... I-I..." Tsubomi cried too. "I won't leave you again... I promise.
