The ethereal emitted a chuckle, its wispy form seeming to crackle, no longer clearly defined, like a chromatic aberration effect. That is before it [i]smiled[/i]. 

[color=ed1c24]"Ah, but of course... Your hand can't sign anything that doesn't benefit the family, can it? Well, it's bullshit. You know deep inside that you want to break loose, to tear away the chains that shackle you down..."[/color] The smile only grew on the rabbit's face, the red of its eyes seemed to glow, to rage with that same fire that burned in Kosuke's heart. 

[color=ed1c24]"I know, because I [i][b]am[/b][/i] that fire that burns within you at this very moment. All you need to do is break away, and let yourself run free. So I have a question for you..."

[i]"Do you have the [b]courage[/b] to make a deal with your inner demons?"[/i][/color]

The rabbit raised it's paw, this time for some kind of handshake. The clinking of glass could be heard at the edge of one's senses, an ephemeral chime as the air distorted and bent around them...

[i][b]The heat was rising.[/b][/i]

The deer stayed on the ground, and slowly lifted its head, as the area seemed to get colder. 

[color=00aeef]"Little stag... There is more than one way to break a pane of glass."[/color] The growled voice utters, as blood drips down now not as drops, but [i]crystals[/i]. Fubuki's breath appeared as whispy clouds before him in the cold air, the space around them felt fragile, whereas a single gesture could break the very air that encompassed it. Frost began forming on the tile flooring...

The terrain was changing as a chime of glass rang through the halls like two wine glasses struck together in a toast.

The deer's head tilted, before standing.

[color=00aeef]"Rage is so erratic in its form... both a weakness and a weapon. What will you allow it to be?"[/color]

Chihiro followed the inky wolf down what seemed to be miles of stretching hallways, eyes flicking to the dark walls as the shadows seemed to dance in the corner of their vision... 

The wolf stopped at an intersection, leading off into three different hallways, turning to her.

[color=f6989d]"Wait here. Something's coming."[/color]

A shrill chime rang from the air around them, as glass hands reached out from the walls. Long translucent limbs with jagged shards of glass and crystal reaching out. A head then emerged, there was no face, only a fractured mirror in place of it, reflecting images of things past.

Before she could react it came towards her, intercepted by the wolf, a snarl echoing through her mind. She was frozen with fear, her feet refused to move as she watched the scene unfold before her... the creature's claws shone sharp as blades as it screeched, like fingernails scraping against a chalkboard.

He didn't understand why he had to do this one personally, but it seemed more urgent than the other requests. They hadn't even begun trusting themselves yet, and now here he was dragging a new one into the mix.

As the door to the cafe opened, time slowed and dilated around the man in the mask. The patrons around him came to a stop, frozen, as he walked straight to the albino kid behind the counter.

With a fluid motion, he grabbed the back of the boy's shirt collar, as the world around them fractured and broke, the space around them shattering into a black void. The boy was released from the dilations hold as he fell into a chair, a table rising from the blackness underneath, the man walking around to his own chair on the other side of the table, leaning his elbows onto the wood of the table.

[b][color=662d91]"You're probably scared, being pulled away like this. Just to confirm, your name is Tohato, right?"[/color][/b]
