Chapter Text
「 Open the curtains, lights on. Don’t miss a moment of this experiment. 」
The sound of Yuu’s boots was clacking against the floor of one of the many buildings under Limbus Company, used for a variety of purposes.
They wore a similar uniform to the other LCCA members, carrying the K Corp ampules supplied for the rest of the team.
Walking along the corridor, they passed by a familiar face.
“It’s nice to see you again, Caiman.” Their voice greets the lady. The person in question turns to glance at them.
“Yuu? You’re back already from U Corp? It’s only been… a little over 2 days.”
“Retrieving the remaining members of the Before Team sent there was quick, there was only one survivor left. K Corp also sent a shipment, so I was told to pick it up along the way back.” They replied. It was quite unfortunate but in this line of work, death was commonplace.
“I see. Well, your efficiency is certainly appreciated. If only the LCB could learn a thing or two…” She muttered. Yuu glanced at her with a disinterested face.
“If you wish to talk shit about the LCB, do it infront of someone else. Maybe even the Department itself.” They started walking off, wanting to put down the K Corp ampules before anything happened.
They swore that Caiman muttered a ‘Maybe I will…’ as they walked away.

Yuu was finally leaving the building, heading off to the next destination given by their superiors.
They were to take a WARP Train that would bring them to District 9. Apparently, there were already some LCCA personnel there who would guide everyone to their task. Yuu was curious but not suicidal enough to question what everyone would be doing.
As they walked down the streets, it gradually became darker. A normal occurrence, or so they thought.
Ah, my most beloved liege!
Yuu halted for a mere moment upon hearing their native language. Almost everyone in the City spoke the Common Language, however Yuu decided that they would learn and remember their own language, as a reminder.
They continued forward, ignoring the words. It could be the start of a distortion and Yuu did not want to be killed by any fixers. Not yet, at least.
A noble and beautiful flower of evil…
Yuu took another step forward, desperately blocking out the voice. It wasn’t like anyone else was on the streets either, so they couldn’t tell whether it was just them hearing the voice or if it was echoing down the street.
‘Ignore the voice and reach the WARP Train.’ They repeated mentally. Another step.
It is you who is the fairest of them all, in our worlds!
Yuu turned back to see whether there was anyone speaking to them but was met with the same deserted street as before. Where was the voice calling out from?
Mirror, mirror on the wall… who is the most…
The voice faded out near the end before it could continue. Yuu finally stopped moving forward, completely confused yet curious about the voice.
It went on and on… until.
Follow thy heart and take the hand that will guide you through the worlds reflected in The Mirror.
The mirror? Yuu heard about the Mirror Technology that apparently was being used for the LCB Department, but that was all they knew about it.
Before they could ponder any further, the voice continued.
And by any means, do not let go of that hand.
Their world became completely enshrouded in darkness as they heard the last words of the voice.
