No POV 

We begin this chapter, not at the Tomb, but somewhere else instead, within the dark hallways of an unknown building at an unknown location. Here we see the hands of a woman who was playing with a Rubik's cube before the camera angle changed to show the person holding the toy 

This young-looking woman has a unique appearance, with heterochromia, for both her eyes and hair. One side of her hair is silver, while the other half is black. Moreover, the skin tone of this woman's body is apparently pale white while resting upon the wall next to her was a large scythe

While she fiddled with the cube, a new voice called out to her from down the hall, this time that of a male's voice 

???: "A Rubik's Cube? That takes me back" 

This time, the woman responded as she kept her focus on the toy

??? 2: "One side's not a problem, but getting two is more difficult"

???: "That's true, I suppose. The Six Great Gods spread these toys over 600 years ago" 

The male had now stepped closer for us to properly see what his face looked like. He has the androgynous features of a young man with long black hair and sharp red eyes. He wears an ornate armor

The girl finally took her attention away from the cube, this time looking towards the man with a bored look on her face before speaking, choosing to get right to the point as to why she was here while returning her gaze back to the cube

Girl: "So, what event could transpire to bring the officers together?" 

Male: "There was a report submitted"

Girl: "I didn't read it. It's easier to just ask someone who knows the situation. Has 7th Seat's "Thousand Leagues Astrologer" Prediction gone awry? They've gone forth to subjugate the Catastrophe Dragon Lord, right?"

Male: "They engaged an unknown vampire-like undead, and Cedran and Beaumarchais were killed. Kaire was severely injured as well, so they withdrew"

Despite hearing this, the woman didn't seem all that concerned about the death of her comrades and the state of another as she continued to focus on the cube while speaking, managing to fill one side of the cube with the same color and then looked over to the male
