Japan, 20xx AD
The current time is 6.00 pm. A five-level hospital building located in a suburban area, at the entrance which is an automatic glass sliding door, Suga Hisoka is walking with his two friends, one male friend and one female friend. The three of them still wears their school uniforms, long-sleeved white shirts, waistcoats, loafers, black trousers for the boys, and pleated skirt for the girl. This boy named Suga is the person who was previously seen on the monitor screen of Hardy's surveillance camera when he was attacked by Erdyn in an abandoned factory building.
Suga and his two friends then walked into the hospital building while still carrying their black attache case school bags, where on Suga's bag there was a Nellson wooden statue keychain hanging. Suga carries his black attache case school bag in his left hand, and a cane in his right hand, to help him walk because he is blind. Suga's female friend said
"There's still a bit of time before our showtime"
Suga's male friend looked at his watch and appeared to realize something
"That's right, how about we use the remaining time for practicing?"
Suga smiled, his eyes looked far away because he was blind
“Good idea, there are still things I want to perfect”
After agreeing with each other, they then walked into the hospital building. Appears that the two Suga’s friends walked while adjusting their steps to Suga. Suga and his two friends will perform at regular music events that are held every week at this hospital, where representatives are from several schools, as a form of charity fundraising.
The current time is 9:00 pm. The event that Suga and his two friends participated in has ended, they are now walking in the hallway of this hospital which is all white on the walls and floors. To their right was the hospital wall with entrances to the patient rooms, and to their left was a row of windows with the view of the city at night, with the highway below that was starting to be quiet with just some cars passing by, as well as the sidewalks which were also starting to get quiet with just some pedestrian passing by. Not long after, Suga stopped his steps
"You guys go ahead first, there's still something I need to do"
The expressions of Suga's two friends turned astonished. Sugas’s male friend replied
“Something you need to do? At this hour?"
Suga smiled
"Right, there's someone I want to meet"
Hearing this, the expressions of Suga's two friends turned curious. Suga's two friends said goodbye to Suga and then walked away from here.
Now Suga was alone, he then walked while using his cane to feel his side which was close to the wall, until finally, his cane hit one of the long chairs in the hallway of the hospital. Suga then sat on the chair, facing the row of windows in front of him, and leaned his cane against the wall next to him. Suga places his black attache case school bag on his lap, which has a brown Nellson wooden statue keychain hanging. Suga was silent for a moment, trying to feel and hear his surroundings. Suga smiled
"Okay, it seems no one is around, I'll call Nellson"
Just when Suga was about to call Nellson, Suga stopped what he was about going to do because he heard footsteps not far from here. The sound of these footsteps getting closer to him, Suga appeared to be waiting for this person to pass by and leave.
But beyond Suga's expectations, this person then sat next to him, on the long chair where he was sitting. Because of this, Suga looked a little surprised. The person sitting next to Suga is a man wearing a leather jacket that opens in the middle, with a black shirt, black long jeans, black army boots, and a handgun in the holster on his right thigh. Sometime later, Suga appeared to be still waiting for this person to leave, but this man still did not leave, making Suga's expression change in surprise. Suga thought to himself

“I'll look for another place”
Suga was about to get up from his seat but then he didn't because something unexpected happened. The person next to Suga pulled his handgun from its holster, then pointed it at Suga by sticking the handgun muzzle to the side of Suga's head, making Suga surprised. Appears that the person who has been beside Suga all along is Hardy Aylward
"Don't move, believe it or not, what I'm pointing at your head right now is a handgun"
Hearing this, Suga's expression turned a little surprised, he thought to himself
“Handgun he said?"
Suga is clutching a Nellson wooden statue keychain in his right hand, while thought to himself
"Damn, I haven't had time to call Nellson to reverse my blindness"
Seeing Suga, Hardy immediately continues to talk
"Don't try to summon your Yokai, I only need to move one finger to fire this gun"
Suga's expression showed that he was bothered by this, he thought to himself
“He knows about Yokai? Is he a Yokai controller or a Yokai investigator? Although I can't tell if what he's pointing at my head is really a handgun or not, I'd better be careful…”
Suga's expression turned serious
"What do you want?"
Hardy smiled
“I just want to talk, Meet me on the rooftop of this hospital. Let's just say you'd do it in exchange for me not firing this gun”
Hardy pulled back his handgun, he then stood up from his seat while putting his handgun back into the handgun holster on his right thigh, and then walked away from here.
Suga remained seated in his place while listening to Hardy’s footsteps had gone far away that his footsteps could no longer be heard. Suga is now sitting here alone along the lonely hospital corridor
"Come Nellson"
Black smoke started to emerge from all parts of Nellson wooden statue keychain which was held by Suga, this smoke continued to grow and from behind it, Nellson the owl Yokai appeared the size of an ordinary owl. Suga whispered something to Nellson, and when he finished, Nellson whispered something back to Suga. After they finished taking turns whispering something to each other, Suga looked around him and appeared no longer blind, but actually only one of Suga's eyes could see again. Seeing Suga, Nellson looked surprised
"What's wrong Suga?"
Suga's attention turned to Nellson
"I have to meet someone, I want you to be alert Nellson"
Nellson's expression turned astonished, he then gave a nod. Suga walked away from here, and Nellson flew after him.
Suga entered the hospital elevator, from the elevator buttons panel, Suga is currently on the second floor of this hospital building. Suga pressed the elevator button for the highest floor that this elevator can reach namely the fifth floor, and the elevator door then closed. Sometime later, Suga arrived on the fifth floor of this hospital building, which is the top floor. Suga walked while looking around and finally found a direction sign to the stairs leading to the rooftop. Suga followed the directions which ended at a door, Suga then opened this door. Behind the door are stairs that connect each floor in this hospital, Suga then walks up these stairs, and Nellson then flies near him. After walks up the stairs, Suga arrived at a single door, he then opened it, and unexpectedly, this door was not locked. Suga is now on the rooftop of this hospital building.
Suga immediately realized the existence of the man who had invited him here. Appear that Hardy is standing near the edge of the building which has a wide concrete railing. Hardy appeared to be standing before the railing, with his hands tucked into his jacket, and watching the night view of the city in front of him. Suga looked alert, his expression turned serious
“Be ready to attack at anytime Nellson”
Nellson’s expression turned serious
"I understand"
Suga walked towards Hardy from behind, followed by Nellson who flew nearby.
After getting close enough to Hardy, Suga stopped his steps, Nellson then flew towards behind him. Soon enough, Nellson's six large wings appeared from behind Suga, as if these six wings belonged to Suga. Hardy appeared to be aware of the presence behind him, he then turned around and was immediately surprised to see Suga who as if he has six large owl wings on his back, Hardy then positioned his hands forward with a gesture to tell Suga to stop what he about to do
“Hey, wow, wait a minute, don't tell me you're going to attack me with your Yokai”
Seeing Hardy, Suga's expression changed in astonishment, he thought to himself
"He's not Japanese?"
Suga’s expression turned serious
“Only if you are stupid enough to fire your gun at me. But yes, if you really intended to kill me, you would have shot me before. So, I came here to find out the reason”
Hardy's expression turned serious
“Sorry for what happened before, if I didn't do that, you definitely wouldn't meet me up here. Can be said, I had to improvise my way of doing this, because the person who encountered me before you, beat me and my team up”
Hearing this, Suga's expression turned confused
“I don't understand what you're talking about…”
