As Kenji slowly recovered, the pain of his past faded into a dull ache, but his confusion remained. He walked silently beside the two women, their presence like a comforting shield against the unknown. Their journey led him to a place he had never seen before, despite it being in the center of the city, the headquarters of the Moon Clan, hidden beneath a barrier of protection so potent, he could barely sense its existence.

The portal before them shimmered with an ethereal glow, an entrance unlike anything Kenji had ever witnessed. It was as if they were stepping into another world entirely. A quiet awe filled him as they passed through it, the air itself seeming to hum with ancient power.

As they entered, it was like walking into a bustling, self-contained city, its streets alive with people going about their day. There were buildings of unimaginable scale, schools, hospitals, and structures that all seemed to blend into one harmonious whole. Kenji couldn’t understand how he had never known about this place, this hidden sanctuary of the Moon Clan.

Miyuki turned to him, breaking his dazed thoughts. “This is where we live,” she said softly. “We’ll take you to your room. Don’t leave until we come for you. Someone important wants to speak with you.”

Kenji simply nodded. His head was spinning, his mind racing with unanswered questions, but his body was too tired to protest.

As they led him to his room, he couldn’t help but take in the details. The room was unlike anything he had ever imagined, a vast space, tastefully decorated, with large windows that looked out onto the beautiful cityscape below. But it was one thing in the room that caught his eye: a photo of a woman, beautiful and serene, placed gently on a side table. Something about her face seemed familiar, yet Kenji couldn’t place her.

Miyuki noticed his gaze and spoke softly, “This is your mother’s room. We’ve been keeping it for you.”

Kenji’s heart fluttered, but he didn’t know why. He felt a strange connection to the woman in the photo, but the memory was just out of reach, like a dream fading upon waking.

Without another word, Miyuki and Satsuki left him alone.

The silence of the room weighed heavily on Kenji as he lay down on the bed, his thoughts a swirling storm. He thought about everything that had happened, the strange new world he found himself in, and the two mysterious women who seemed to know so much more than they let on. His mind was full of questions, but answers felt like distant dreams.

As the night wore on, his thoughts slowed and the exhaustion took over. He drifted into an uneasy sleep, the image of his mother’s face lingering in his mind like a shadow, calling him to uncover the truth.
