Ami and I arrive to the


    mansion, both super


    excited.


    I ring the doorbell,


    wanting to see


    Ronin all dressed


    up in his best


    attire.


    He''s so handsome!


    “Nina. There''s


    something I want


    to tell you.”


    Ami suddenly says,


    wearing a strange


    and flushed look


    as she stares at me.


    “Hmm?” I asks her,


    Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.


    not knowing what she''s


    talking about.


    Before she can even


    speak again, the front


    door to the mansion


    cracks open by itself.


    I quickly enter inside


    first, seeing how dark


    it is and the only source


    of light is the many


    candles.


    “Ronin, where are you??!”


    I call out as Ami follows


    behind me.


    We follow the trail of


    the candles, coming


    across the living room.


    Small refreshments are


    already left out on the


    coffee table.


    As we both sit down,


    Ami quickly helps herself,


    eating a few chocolate


    chip cookies.


    Despite being a


    bit hesitant, I


    help myself


    to some


    hot tea.


    The flavor is something


    I can''t comprehend….


    It''s gross.
