As the figure moved into the room and shut the door behind them I was relieved to discover that it was not a monster, but a man. With a few more steps he stepped into the light and I was able to clearly see the his face including all of the little details that made up his appearance. From observation alone I could see that he was much older than me, his hair was short and white but with no signs of any thinning. He also had a small beard that didn't come out very far, but I imagined that it suited him far better than long one. As he came closer I saw that his eyes were a light grey colour and above them sat a pair of thin eyebrows that were as white as the hair on his head.

"You must be quite confused my friend", said the man, "waking up in a strange room that is filled with strange people". I was unable to find my voice at the time so I answered him with a simple nod.

My mind was slowly piecing together how I had collapsed in an ally and woken up in a house, but with the mystery solved I smiled and stretched out my hand to thank him for his help.

I smiled and shook my head which seemed to please Daisuke who then turned to call out the child's name, seconds later the girl re-entered the room and stood by the door. She bowed to me and introduced herself with a quiet voice; "hello, I'm Atsuko... nice to meet you", and with that out of the way she quickly dashed back out of the room before I could even voice a reply.
