It was the 6th April. I was in the New City passenger train, Anehazuru, on my way to a school I had transferred to.

"Due to malfunction in the switching system, today's rail schedule has been greatly altered. We apologise for any customers who were in a hurry. The next stop is Iwatodai."

As a result, the train ended up coming in late.

"Iwatodai. This is the final train bound for Tatsumi Port Island. Please take care to board before our departure."

I had arrived late. It was almost midnight. Something about the atmosphere seemed odd. It would probably be best to hurry to the dorm. As I walked from the station, I noticed coffin like objects lining in the deserted city. The moon was eerily gigantic tonight. I arrived at Gekkoukan High School, Iwatodai dorm. It was the dorm mentioned in the admission pamphlet. As I stepped in the heard a voice.

"Welcome," a boy my own age said. "You're late. I've been waiting a long time."

He held a piece of paper out to me.

"If you want to proceed, then please sign here," he said. "It's a contract. There's no need to be scared. It only binds you to accepting full responsibly for your actions."

Something was written on the paper he was holding out to me.

"I choseth this fate of mine own free will."

Below was a blank to sign my name in.

I wrote down "Jane Doe".

"Very well," the boy said. "Time is something no one can escape. It delivers us all to the very same end. Wishing won't make it go away. And so it begins."

The boy disappeared as though he melted into the darkness.

"Who's there!?" asked a female voice.

I saw a brunette girl walk into the room.

"How can you be... But it's...! Don't tell me."

The girl was holding a gun.

"Wait!" said another girl, a redhead.

The lights came on.

"I didn't think you'd arrive so late," the redheaded girl said. "My name is Mitsuru Kirijo. I'm one of the students who live in this dorm."

"Who's she?" the brunette girl asked.

"She's a transfer student. It was a last minute decision to assign her here." Mitsuru explained. "She'll eventually be moved to a room in the normal dorm."

"Is it okay for her to be here?"

"I guess we'll see. This is Yukari Takeba."

"Hey," the brunette girl said.

"Why do you have a gun?" I asked her.

"Huh? Um, well, it's sorta like a hobby. Well, not a hobby but..."

"You know how it is these days. It's for self-defence. It's not a real gun of course." Mitsuru explained. "It's getting late so you should get some rest. You'll find your room on the third floor. Your things should already be there. I suggest you tuck in for the night."

"Oh, I'll show you the way. Follow me." Yukari said.

Yukari took me to the furtherest door on the third floor hallway.

"This is it," she said. "Pretty easy to remember, huh? Since it's right at the end of the hall. Oh yeah, make sure you don't lose your key or you'll never hear the end of it. So, any questions?"

"I signed a contract..." I said.

"Huh? What's this about a contract?" Yukari asked.

Yukari didn't seem to know what I was talking about.

"Um, can I ask you something?" she said. "On your way here from the station, was everything okay?"

I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to mention the coffins.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You know what I... Nevermind. It seems like you're alright. Well, I'd better get going. I'm sure you still have other questions but let's save them for later, okay? Good night." Yukari walked down the stairs.

I went into my room. I was tired so I went to bed.

What's next?
