You had been sitting in your room, the glow of your computer screen illuminating your face as you re-watched Date A Live from Season 1. The familiar theme music hummed through your speakers while your knowledge of the series remained fresh in your mind after countless viewings. The warm glow of your lamp cast soft shadows across your cluttered desk, covered with anime merchandise.

Then, out of nowhere, dark clouds gathered outside your window. The room flickered as lightning flashed, followed immediately by a deafening thunderclap that shook the walls. A brilliant bolt of electricity struck your house with the dramatic intensity of a Final Destination movie. The screen exploded in a shower of sparks, and everything went black as pain coursed through your body.

You gradually regain consciousness to the sound of a door creaking open. Sunlight streams into the unfamiliar room,刺眼 your eyes after the darkness. The scent of fresh toast wafts in from somewhere distant.

"Wake up!" a cheerful voice demands.

You wake up slowly, your head throbbing with a dull pain as you try to focus on your surroundings. The sheets feel soft against your skin, and you're lying in a bed that isn't your own. Suddenly, weight crashes down on top of you as Kotori Itsuka bounces on your bed, her signature twin tails swinging wildly. "Wake up! Wake up! Darling brother of mine!~"

This can't be right. You pinch yourself, feeling the sharp sting of pain, confirming this isn't a dream. Why were you seeing Kotori in the flesh? Something wasn't adding up as you looked at the familiar face of Shido's younger sister, clear as day in front of you.
