Chapter Text
He stands front of the gate . A huge iron gate. So huge that its almost is staring back at him .
And an even bigger size building stand behind the gate .
A few yards away from it , showing off a velvet green smooth garden.
"Ah", he thinks ," is this really it ?"
"5 star hotel " would fit the worst to describe this building. Looks nothing out of the ordinary. With its patchy wall , semi broken window even, it's looks way too ordinary.
Before he knows it a man's looming shadow had fallen on him .
Without realising still holding the adress card and disappointed expression he hadn't moves one inch for last 10 minutes. He looks up at the owner of the shadow.
" Sir ? Do you need help ?"
He holds forward the adress card ," is this it ?"
The security guard nods ." and you might be ?"
" Damian Desmond. I was scheduled for residency from today here ."
5 minutes later now behind the gate inside the garden he recalls what his benefactor had told him .
" here's the adress" he had said ," this is exactly the place you need. Go , make home for yourself . I will be there soon. If you need anything call my wife."
And so here he is .
Trying to understand why of all places this place has to be the exactly the place where he needs to be . He enters inside.
Inside looks a bit of a pinterest mood boards aesthetics.
But does he have a pinterest account? Not that he will even admit , but still it looks like that. Even the elevator looks like it's from old , classy movie . The elevator is supposed to stop on the 5th floor. And it does stop but with dangerous shake , nearly knocking him out of his legs.
His head still hits the wall and with a ding the door opens.
" WELCOME" .
Someone screams right into his ear and amidst of all stars he sees something. A pink blob? ," cotton candy ?!"
The cotton candy moves near him and he is grabbed by two arms shaken to the point all stars begin fade . Now he sees it . It's a girl . Pink hair , his age , green eyes, excited smile...does he know her ??
" hey Damian ? How have you been ? Welcome !! Do you like the garden ? Papa send you here–"
,"Papa?"
" yeah . Papa. Loid forger .He send you here . Said you needed a place to stay ".
He is dumbfounded. This papa seems to be his benefactor. He didn't knew loid's daughter called him papa .
" Hello? You okay?
Dumbly he nods.
," am fine ."
The girl nods right back and tugs onto his arm," let me show you around till your room."
He follows her . Still trying to find answers to his questions. He had seen her somewhere. But where ? What was her name again ?
