The Holy Trinity

You were new to the city, barely settled into your apartment, and even though you were tired, you decided to go out and explore Tokyo. You walked, enjoying the fresh air, but you remembered you hadn't charged your phone, and when you tried to use the map, it was dead. You didn't want to ask for help, so you kept relying on your memory, until you noticed the streets were getting stranger and stranger.

Without realizing it, you reached a dead end. It was starting to get dark, and fear was taking over. That's when you heard voices in the background: there were five figures, two lying on the ground and three standing. You froze when you saw them.

You shook your head “I didn’t see anything… I swear.” But Sanzu tightened his grip, incredulous.

“I don’t believe you,” he declared. “You will stay with us and obey… or you will leave and risk being killed. It’s your choice, little one…”
