(Omega's note: The man here is named Kuramoto Keiichi, who is more or less one of equal power to me in a different world. The girl is Haiyori Yasha, one of the members of the 9 Souls. It is required for anyone who appears at this portal to be accompanied by a member of the 9 Souls, including someone like Kuramoto, who we'll simply call Kura.)

  A man appeared in front of a portal, with a younger girl standing next to her. The man, older and more noble-looking, seemed to be semi-curious about the portal. Meanwhile the girl standing next to him was very anxious and always fidgeting. Next to the portal stood someone else, a mediocre tall figure with an odd-shaped sword. "I've... just realized we've never actually seen each other face to face before." The girl said, still a strong grasp on anxiousness. "We haven't?" The man said, looking at her. "Not to my knowledge... Even though I've spoken to Omega many times, I still feel awkward talking to you..."

  Kura seemed relatively unbothered, as he continued. "Hmm. My son should be here too..." And on cue, someone else stumbled out of a portal. "There he is." The man said. His son seemed a little older than Haiyori, who greeted him. "Oh, hi." She simply said, as he only said hi back. "Actually, I think this is the first time I've seen you in Replicas of Reality to start with, maybe outside of one occasion." She inquired him, making him think for but a moment. "I've been here twice, not counting this visit." He told her. She decided to explain the existence behind this portal. "I'll explain it to Takayama since he might need to know. This portal is called Vera Khoreva."

  She continued. "It's a portal that suddenly opened recently to another world, and its physical attributes are so extreme that only members of 9 Souls and beyond are capable of living there... Imagine The Undefinable, but as an entire world. That's pretty much what this new world is. I would also need OPPRESSION for it, since normal me would just... get turned into a flat pancake." Takayama thought for a second, before replying. "I... see." As they continued, Haiyori looked at the portal. "Do either of you know who that is?"

  (Omega's note: "The Undefinable" is the highest plane of existence in Replicas of Reality, and shares near-impossible gravity and physical living space to the point where hardly anyone knows it even exists. "OPPRESSION" or "Oppression" is a separate version of Haiyori Yasha that seems to originate from somewhere unknown, as a second version that she can control at all times. It is the reason she is a members of the 9 Souls.)
