Summary
He turns and sees his mother, dressed in perfectly embroidered red velvet, her eyes a vibrant yellow. Akechi falls back, completely frozen, frightened to his very core by the sound of her breathing. He drowns himself in the water without a second thought.
“Goro!” her voice is the last thing he hears.
And he gasps for air when he returns to reality. He’s dry and in his school uniform. He feels something in his pocket. The newest model of a branded smartphone. On it is one app that stares at him, the Meta-Nav, waiting for him to open. He taps instantly, looking for answers to the hell he landed in. There were three keywords in its history:
Goro Akechi. Former Akechi Residence. Labyrinth.
When he looks up, he sees his old neighborhood. He goes pale at the sight of his childhood home destroyed.
Four months. Four months until he needed to have his plan set in motion. Four months until his first day of high school. Goro Akechi is only fifteen and running out of time to live.
