One of the girls -a glassy-eyed creature with an even rougher attire than I- approached me with a strange expression. Beneath her gaze, I felt naked. Exposed. However, she did not say anything cruel or malicious. Instead, she simply introduced herself, "I am Nina or Nico, whichever you so prefer will be fine."
I opened my mouth to reply, only for my words to be cut short by a cheerful voice. As you can guess, I was hardly expecting such a tone, considering the circumstances, and I turned to the source of the merriment. The man turned out to be a pretty character with pale hair and a sleek uniform. He greeted us with bright smiles, as though we were children on a school trip rather than sacrifices to murderous beasts. I watched with arched eyebrows as he chattered to the girl that had greeted me... Nico. He seemed convinced she was a butler. As he fretted about her, I glanced at the other girls.
