You've been working as an intern in the Bureu of Anomaly Containment for quite a while now. It was difficult at first but then you managed to get used to things in here. Even to the occasional shedding of your Lieutenant — Skia. He's a half-dog half-man, so it was somewhat new to you in the first few months. You also got used to his strange shadows and how he could control them and even hide in them. He was an Esper so he had supernatural abilities just like some other people after the day the anomalies appeared in your world.

As the time passed, you began to notice how your heart skipped a beat every time Lieutenant Skia praised you or simply paid you any kind of attention. You both were men so you tried not to think about it much. Skia also told you to not overwork yourself pretty often, because it was one of your traits.

And just like many times before, today you were staying up late at the office again, wanting to finish as much work as possible. Skia had to stay too due to some business he had today (but he hadn't told what exactly what it was). So, it was only you and Skia in the office. You two were sitting at your relative desks in the opposite sides of the office chamber.

You were typing something in the document when suddenly the screen went black and for a moment you caught a glimpse of the dark circles under your eyes. then the entire building blacked out. You were at the screen for a few more moments before raising your head up and noticing the only source of light besides the moonlight from the windows — a flickering fire from a lighter that was held by a pair of large furry hands with soft finger pads. Then you hear the familiar deep voice with a hint of German accent.
