A Strange Meeting

A mysterious voice asks, "Have you met him?". "Well, if you talk about meeting, that is, then I didn't, but I saw him in kind of a strange way", replies another voice of a young male. Both people are standing inside a dark room, conversing face-to-face, but it seems like it's impossible to see the faces of those two. "And? Have you noticed something strange about him?", the first mysterious person asks with a serious tone in his voice. After that question, it's quiet for a little moment. The second person is thinking of a good answer to give. "Well, I can't say exactly", he begins to talk, "But I've noticed some kind of strange aura with him, some kind of 'evil' aura to be precise, but I don't know how to describe it". "That's more than enough. Just as I expected.. I just hope things won't get out of control from this point on", the first mysterious person says with a thoughtful but more than serious tone. After that, it's quiet for a little while. Both people are just looking at each other. After 10 seconds, the mysterious person continues his sentence,"I want you to observe him even more to keep things safe". "I thought you would say that, so I made some preparations earlier to be as close to him as possible to always keep an eye on him", the second person replies with a smirk. "This is not a game, I hope you are aware of that! This can get pretty dangerous, so stop with your jokes!", the mysterious guy  says while getting slightly angry. "Well alright, if you say so. But you should know me well enough to tell that I'm always completing my missions perfectly", the second person replies. "Well, maybe you are right. I was just thinking about the worst-case scenario here," the mysterious person says, apologizing. Both people are looking at each other for a while again, until the second person decides to head to the exit."I guess things are clear then. I'll make sure that nothing happens and then let you know". He leaves the building, thinking about his next step with a smirk, "This guy.. I just hope everything will go smoothly with him". And just like this, his silhouette vanishes in the dark distance.

- But now, let's just fast-forward the time a bit. Today's date is March 15th, 2021 -

After a long but restless sleep, Yoru wakes up. "What, it's already 1:26 pm? How could I sleep that long", he grumbles while he's checking the time on his phone. That's another of Yoru's characteristics. Because of the fact he doesn't have a job, he doesn't have a time to rely on waking up. There are days when he sleeps even more without realizing it. "Well, most of the day is over by now and, with no surprise, I still don't have any idea what to do today". He continues by getting up, taking a warm and long shower, putting on some new fresh clothes, and then eats his breakfast - well at that point, it's more of his midday-lunch. This is his daily routine. While Yoru is eating, he meets his mother in the living room. He instantly has one question and asks it, "Where were you yesterday". His mother is looking at him confused, followed by her next sentence, "I told you, that I'm not at home until deep in the night". Yoru is more than confused, "No, I think you didn't tell me". "Yes I did. You were down here and I even asked you if I should bring something for you, but you just ignored me and went outside", she starts, "Well, I have to go now, I have an appointment like I told you last week. If something is wrong, you can call me". After that, both of them say goodbye to one another. Yoru's mother is getting inside her car and driving to her appointment. Yoru is just standing there, thoughtful, "What did she mean by that? I didn't see her yesterday. How could she have told me?". Then his thoughts slowly shift to another subject, "Well, maybe she just thinks she did, I don't know." As soon as Yoru is done with eating, he puts his stuff into the kitchen sink and heads towards his room upstairs. "Another day, another great question. What should I do now?" He sits down on his bed and looks through his room, there he notices the paper Sero gave him yesterday. "Right.. There was that thing..". He takes the small piece of paper and uncrumbles it together with his thoughts. "Hm, originally I wanted to throw away that thing, but maybe I should really -" >> Just leave it, you will never find any friends << -the, by now, well-known evil voice interrupts.
