Moonless Family Home.
Louise Moonless, Arthur Moonless, and Aoki Moonless sat in the cozy living room, leaning into their family discussion.
The soft glow of the lamps barely outshone the massive 4K television that dominated the wall.
As soon as the big announcement that shut down all screens appeared, Aoki went down from his room, just to see his parents in the living room, staring at the screens.
"What's happening–" he began.
"Shhh…" Arthur cut him off, pointing at the TV.
The screen showed Stark's face, as well as every other participant in the 15 squares.
"HIM?!" Aoki's reaction was immediate, his tone laced with disdain. "I knew he was bad news!"
From the start, Aoki never trusted Stark.
He'd been uneasy ever since Stark had visited their home for an offer to join the [Rift Conqueror's Academy].
