Chapter Text
"Akito!! Toya!! Come over here, you need to see this!!" Miku called from across the SEKAI. Akito and Toya were chatting after their last practice, An and Kohane having gone home. They're called to attention by Miku's call. They get up and walk over to where Miku is pointing. There's a rift in the SEKAI — about 3 feet long and a foot tall.
"What... is this?" Toya asks. He tentatively reaches his hand out to touch it, but Akito lightly pushes his arm down.
"Miku, is this, like, a rip or something?" Akito asks, concerned. Inside the rift is blurry and mixed, almost like the Milky Way. Barely there is the light outline of a cityscape. Both boys and the Virtual Singer peer into the rift.
"I don't actually know. Luka was walking around and found it. Do you have any idea what it might be?" Miku stand next to Akito and Toya, studying the rift with them. Suddenly, she perks up. "I'll go grab the rest of the Virtual Singers! They might know what this is..." Miku runs off, leaving Akito and Toya to stare at the rift.
"It looks like a city inside... where do you think it is?" Toya says, stepping forwards. Akito walks forwards with him, fixed on the swirling of the rift. They both stick their hands out, almost in sync.
Miku returns a minute later with all the Virtual Singers following her. They turn the corner to the wall where the rift rests, and come to find nothing. The rift, along with Akito and Toya, have vanished.
"Where did they go...?"
