Ezra awoke from his non-dreaming sleep to the sun's rays bliding him when he tried to open his eyes, he immediately goes to the toilet close to his room to wash his face and brush his teeth.
"Today, i will kill him." He mutters under his breath.
Moments later he goes down stairs to the main hall, greets the maids and the gardener and walks to where the prison is located.
The prison is long, a gigantic collection of cells, people and some skeletons as well as rotting bodies, some prison cells seem to be hanging from the ceiling while some are connected to the ground.
There is little ground close to the stairs going downwards while the rest is an abyss, it's unclear how the prisoners hanging from the ceiling can get to ground safely so Ezra assumes they were condemed to life.
On the stairs he sees two guardsmen with guns shooting down the chains which connect the hanging cells to the ceiling.
One of them looks at Ezra briefly before looking back at the cells and back at Ezra again.
"Why are you here, child? This is no place for you."
"I am looking for a friend, though he doesn't seem to be here."
"Friend? Oh, that reminds me, we did carry a young boy here, he should be in that room over there if you further descend the stairs." He points.
Ezra nods to the guard and goes on his way down the stairs.
He opens a door only to be met with countless platforms that are all connected to each other with prison cells all around the room with prisoners sitting in the corners with sorrowful expesions on their faces, some of them even crying.

Ezra looks at them with pity in his eyes while looking for Johan in the prison, he meets him after some time, sitting in his cell.
"Hello, Johan!" Ezra greets him.
"Hi, bitchass."
"Why the cold greeting." He teases Johan.
"You know why! I was sweating bullets while you were sleeping in the box! Get a grasp of the situation, do you really think the grandmaster would let us leave?"
"I know, that is why i have come to help you, i've read about a spell capable of making a bond between two people. And with this manna capsule i've stolen from the storage room we will make a bond together, it will cancel the restrictions set upon you and you will escape." He says with a cold, hard stare.
Ezra crushes the manna capsule and spreads the manna light between them, creating the bond.
He then leaves with Johan still in shock.
Once he left the prison he is met with Ana waiting for him outside.
"I was looking for you all day! The maids said they saw you walking to the prison so i went here to wait for you!" She says with a smile.
"Why were you waiting for me?"
"To train of course! You said you would do that with me first thing in the morning, remember?"
"Oh yeah, right. Well, when shall we begin?"
"Soon, after we've eaten."
They walk together to the diner and on they way meet Yuta.
"Hello, Master Yuta, what brings you here?" Ana says with a warm sunshine smile while Ezra can't seem to shake the feeling of weariness.
Is he wrong to feel this way? After all, Yuta's actions seem weird and unordinary but what if he is wrong?
Yuta could have just been an extremely peculiar person rather than a demon.
"Ezra, Ezra!" Ezra zaps back into reality at the sound of the call.
"Oh, good, you're back. It's strange, you have been walking with me to the diner while completely zoned out." He pays no mind to her questions and asks one of his own.
"How do you know Johan's name?" He leans closer to her getting fully face to face.
"You know, they say a persons name is reflected in their eyes." Ezra's eyes light up listening to her words, which makes Ezra ask a second question.
"Do you mean that litterally or philosophically?"
"Litterally." She chuckles, "It's really not as strange as you make it sound, many people in our family have such abilities."
"Hmm?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact, father only kept you around cause he thinks you might have the Commonthought ability."
