[video] ⚡ welcome to the limousine

[yumadbro]

[Another view of this limousine...]

['Welcome to the Velvet Room', the man sitting across from the video's perspective says. He seems a little suspicious, but his voice and demeanor aren't hostile in the least.]

With your new bond, you have awoken to the Star Arcana. [The woman--Margaret--speaks, and as she does a glowing card floats down and disappears into the book on her lap.]

Now then, your story is drawing towards its climax. [Igor spoke again, hardly moving as he did.] As such, I imagine several surprises are lying in wait for you.

Your fate is at a crossroads. [Margaret continued, pensive and quiet.] If you fail to solve the mystery, your future may close before you. [She turned enough to look towards the camera--towards Narukami, in reality. Her tone grew faintly ominous, taking on a sense of warning.] No matter how thick the fog may appear, there is but one truth...Defeat is not the only thing that can bring your story to an end. You would do best to remember that.

[With those words of warning, the video faded to black.]

What was that?

[yumadbro]

Did it broadcast that limousine again?

[answerer_sword]

Yes, it did. I take it this is an accidental video?

[If so, she does not wish to pry too much.]

[yumadbro]

Yeah--it kind of does this to me a lot. Sorry about that.

[answerer_sword]

I believe it is I who have to apologize. After all, I was the one who saw something you might have liked to keep secret.

[yumadbro]

It doesn't make a huge difference at this point. I was probably going to ask what people thought she meant by that, anyway.

[iwontforgivethis]

... Narukami-san?

[This was pretty strange, to say the least.]

Is... is something going on in your world?

[yumadbro]

Not more than usual, as far as I know. I'm not sure I get what she meant by that.

[answerer_sword]

If you are truly asking, then...it seems like she might be comparing relationships in your life to tarot cards?

[She cannot see the purpose of this.]

[yumadbro]

Not that, I'm used to that part by now.

It sounds like she's trying to warn me about something.

[answerer_sword]

According to the woman, it seems you are working on some sort of case? If so, then perhaps she means that you work even harder to catch the true culprit?

[At this point she has to wonder why this woman is observing the boy's life so closely.]

[yumadbro]

Basically, yeah--but we're already working as hard as we can. I'm not sure what more we can do.

[mahou_shounen]

That is the strangest looking car interior I've ever seen.

And that discounts the fact that your world seems to have something weird going on.

[yumadbro]

You kind of get used to it after a while.

[answerer_sword]

Perhaps there is an attempt for the criminal to frame another?

[mahou_shounen]

Does it have any kind of purpose?

[yumadbro]

I ask myself that pretty much every day.

[yumadbro]

It's possible, but...I don't know if that's what Margaret's trying to warn me about. It's hard to tell, they're always vague.

[answerer_sword]

Have you ever tried to tell them to speak more clearly?

[yumadbro]

I'm usually dreaming when they talk to me. Besides, they don't seem like the kind pf people you'd want to question.

[answerer_sword]

Amazing. This network broadcasts even your dreams.

Do you have any partners you work with them? Maybe you can question them?

[yumadbro]

I do, but...I've never really explained the Velvet Room to them before. I'm not sure they'd believe me if I tried. I don't even really understand it, so I'm not sure it's something I even can explain.

[mahou_shounen]

So what was that all about can I ask?

[answerer_sword]

I suppose it is a rather hard concept to believe.

Perhaps you should just try letting everything play out naturally?

[yumadbro]

It kind of happens a lot. If you're asking about what she meant, I think I'm just as lost as anyone else.
