...Velvet...That's what the only thing the girl saw in her dreams...She's never had this kind of dream before, it all just looked...surreal. Then, she found herself sitting in a room with velvet just about everywhere and she saw a man that looked like something that came out of her nightmares and a girl. She wanted to scream but she couldn't, all she do was watch as he explained something about how they are just observers and supporters and need a main cast. One faceless figure stepped forward and picked a card that was laid out on the table but soon faded into darkness as soon as the figure touched it...Ayano couldn't think straight...Is this really a dream? Maybe picking a card would wake her up...She nervously approached the table, picked a card and flipped it...The card read [i]"Hermit"[/i] it was numbered IX/9 and showed a picture of cage with an eye. What could it mean? Before the girl could even ponder about it, everything became gradually darker... --- Ayano woke up staring at the ceiling of her room...[i][b]"That dream...what WAS that?"[/i][/b]...Still groggy from the current events, she lazily got up and checked the time...10:30 AM...Still early, and it was Sunday too. Wait, wasn't today his birthday? The girl groaned, she's not the type to go outside and buy a present or anything but it's the least she could do after how things went yesterday. It was settled then, before she goes into the virtual world, she'd buy him a present. Yeah... The girl took a shower, got dressed and took some money with her. [i][b]"I'm going out for a while."[/b][/i] she said to her parents as she closed the door behind her and was greeted by the warm sunlight...Oh. how she hated it.
