The darkness is slowly fading. Its going in and out. In and out. In and out.

The process lasts for a few minutes before it completely stops. The door opens as he opens his eyes.

"You're awake," he doesn't know who it is. This voice . . . it's new and unfamiliar.

He slowly sits up and nods.

"Way to state the obvious."

"Would you like something to eat?" the girl asks.

"Yes please."

Normally he'd have made a snarky remark but he doesn't.

The girl leaves.

He sighs and runs a hand through his hair.

"Where am I? What happened?"

The girl returns with a hit bowl of soup. "Here."

"Thanks," he mutters.

"What's your name?" she asks and at the same time he asks while pouting to an object, "What's that?"

"Suigetsu," he answers.

"I'm Eliza and how come you don't know what that is? It's yours is it not?"

"Never seen it before. What is it?"

"Oh," she says, "it's called kubikiribōchō it's one of seven swords of the Bloody Mist. It was with you when I found you."

"Kubikiribōchō, just like my username."

"Where'd you find me?"

"By the river in my backyard."

"Where am I?" he asks.

Before she could answer a knock sounds on the door.

"I'll answer that in a minute," she says as she makes her way to the door.

You have made a new group chat.
