Right after Soseki steps his right foot into the gazebo, "Ah, welcome to the velvet room" the man with unnatural long pointy nose stops his writing, put both of his hand below his chin and welcome Soseki with a friendly voice

"My name is Igor and they are my assistant Christina and Hans". Igor speak again and gesturing to a woman in the blue gown, straight chick white hair, in her hand there's a puppet that wears a blue uniform, both of them nod in unison to Soseki

"......Where the fuck am i?" Soseki ask Igor, he doesn't even take one more step inside of the gazebo, he just standing still on the mouth of the entrance

"My, my why don't you take a seat first?" Igor talk to Soseki again, Christina can be seen preparing his seat, while Hans the doll, moving around by himself and preparing a tea

Soseki... even though he is hesitant, feels like he needs to listen to Igor word, and walk slowly to the center of the gazebo, everytime he walks a rustling sound of paper can be heard. After he reaches his seat and starts slowly sitting down, a figure of a girl can be seen right next to him, a girl with red hair, with hairpins on both side of her hair, the girl greet Soseki with a nod, and before Soseki able to greet her back

Igor starts to speak, answering Soseki previous question "This is Velvet room, This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter. ku...ku...ku this is a first time for two people exist inside the same velvet room"

"It takes its shape based on the state of your heart. fu..fu.. truly such an anomaly, two different velvet room and two people at the same time" Igor continue his explanation and start his writing again

"Indeed master, this is a troublesome matter" Hans the doll, finish preparing his tea and giving Soseki and the girl next to him a cup of tea, completes with scone cake

"......Robot?" Soseki, in his disbelief mutter that word, even though this is a robot, he never saw a robot that talk, walk, and making a tea

the girl with red hair, take the cup and start drinking it,"Oh, the tea is good" the girl with red hair start talking, complimenting Hans tea, in which Hans only greeted with bowing his head down

"Looks like the string of fate has intertwined between the two of you" Igor stops his writing and starts to talk,

After he finishes, Igor takes a book, right after he opens it, a card flying out from inside, one card flies toward the girl with red hair, and one to Soseki. Soseki sees the card in front of him, it looks like a man with stick and bag of his shoulder, and a dog, falling down from the skies

"Ah... Two fools, one reversed, and one not, i see" Igor speaks by himself, Christina walk slowly to Igor, and gives him two books

Igor reads the books, Soseki in his curiosity, tries to peek into the book but can't see anything, after a moment Igor starts to speak "i see... Kyoka Izumi and Natsume Soseki, two figures, so different and yet so similar.."

Before Soseki able to reacts how Igor know his name, he clearly remembers that he never introduces himself

*cring* Sound of a bell can be heard... Soseki feels he heard this sound before, but he can't remember where, he looks to the right and sees Christina, already moving her hand to ring another bell

*cring*

"Ah, too bad that the time is up, until we meet again Izumi, Soseki" Igor closes the books, giving a farewell, take his pen and starts writing again

"Oi! wait a minu.." Soseki yell at Igor, he tries to move his left hand to grab Igor long noses but,,,

the third bell can be heard *Cring*

".........i-san" Soseki hear a voice, a voice of little kid, speak right next to him

"onii-san~, wakey, wakey" in his side, there's a figure of a little girl, pulling his shirt and pointing toward something

(.....that was a weird dream, but...where's i heard that bell sound before) Soseki still wondering about what happened, if it really just a dream, or something else. Rubbed his eye, and see toward the direction his sister Shina pointing, and says "oh... it's a sea" to Soseki there's nothing special about that sea, the sea isn't that beauty, and there's no landmark around it

"it's the sea~ it's the sea~, hey let's stop and play over there" Shina jumping around on the trailer of the tractor, Old man laughing in front and say

"i-f y..u, w...nt, i....ca...ta....y..u....morrow" old man looks like saying something but the sound of tractor engine too loud to hears him

Soseki sighs, holds Shina down and says "Shina.. stop jumping around, Nii-san doesn't think this tractor can hold on if you're jumping around like that" and start patting Shina's head

Old man in the front, somehow hears his word and says "ga...ha...ha,thi....tor....ma.be...ol...bu...it...ca.....ove...round"

Soseki, just give up encrypting what the Old man says and just continue to play with Shina, his mother, just giving a weak smile, seeing her son ignorant attitude
