Dimensionals-Prologue

“That concert was awesome right?! Who knew Roshin Yuukai would’ve won the Junior Idol Award!!” Guren exclaimed as he walks home together with his brother. The bright streetlights luminously illuminating their pathway home.

“Heh, told you she’d won” boasted Fran before checking the time on his wristwatch. “Let’s get home quick. Mom and dad should be home any hour now” he said before the two twins jogged towards their home.

As they were reaching home, they heard sirens and saw a small mass of people gathering in front of their house. “Huh? Why are there people in front of the house?” Guren asked before he walked to one of the police officers who was blocking people from crossing the yellow tape.

“Urm sir, what happened here? Why is my parent’s house taped?” the officer turned and looked at Guren and Fran. “Are you two… Mr. and Mrs. Kawasaki’s children?” the two boys nodded.

The police officer then signed a female officer to come towards them. The two officers then talked to each other in a slow voice, hoping that the kids didn’t hear them.

“They’re the deceased children, definitely minors. Could you call social service?”

“Sure, just a second-” a finger tapped on the female officers as a voice asked. “Miss, can I know what happened here?” the two officers turned to look at the owner of the voice; a lady with long ebony hair, and a blue ocean eye.

“Mrs. Arhlstrolm, such coincidence you’re here. The owners of this house were killed in some sort of break-and-entering, and apparently these two kids, who were sons of the house-owner were absent during the incident-”

“Mom and dad were killed? N – No, you’re lying! Mom… mom and dad are strong! You’re lying, liar! Liar!” Fran yelled when he heard that his parents were killed. “Fran, calm down calm down…” Guren pleaded.

‘Fran?’ the lady asked to herself mentally. “So, can you bring these kids to the social service?” the female officer continued.

“For what?”

“These kids are minors, of course they should go to-” “I’ll take care of them” the lady interjected. The female officer was surprised for a second but quickly maintain her cool.

“Why?”

“Just ‘cause. Can I?” the female officer thought about the lady’s decision before letting out a sigh. “Fine then”

“Thank you, miss” the lady then walked towards the two boys. Fran, who was throwing a tantrum earlier fell quiet as he felt a strange presence in her.

“What’s your name?” she asked. Fran hesitated to answer, but Guren immediately replied. “Kawasaki Guren. This is my twin, Fran. N – Nice to meet you”

The lady then smiled and extended her hand towards them. “Nice to meet you too. I’m Larson Arhstrolm, and I’ll be your caretaker now. Now, how old are you two? Four? Five?”

“Six…” Fran answered in a low voice. “Ah, I see… Well then, come follow me. I’ll take you to your new home”
