"I have to go now," you said softly, pulling away from him, it was a bit of a struggle as he didn't seem to want to let go. "I'll see you soon, okay?"

He nodded. Before you could walk away, he pulling you in and captured your lips with his. He kissed you passionately, almost months of the lack of contact made both of you crave for one another's affection.

Takeshi Aiza chatted with you for a few minutes before you remembered your reason for being in town, "I have to go now," you said, smiling, "see you next time!"

"Alright, stay safe, (Y/N)!"
--
If Takeshi Aiza was to be honest with himself, he really liked you. It was literally love at first sight; he wanted to spend more time with you but you disappeared right before your violin competition. You'd left him without a word.

But he wasn't angry, he knew you had your reasons.

Seeing you again made him feel pure joy; even though he knew you were probably married to that guy who glared at him in the cafe so many years ago, he still felt happy just looking at you. He was glad you were well.

After seeing the way the white-haired man pulled you away, his suspicions were confirmed and he promised to himself that he'd move on.

He wasn't really sure if he could.

Stepping into the prestigious mask-making shop, you were awestruck. It was so fancy. Hundreds of well-crafted masks lined the walls, all in their own glass cabinets. Rich-looking folk strolled around and tried on masks, looking at themselves in the many mirrors provided in the shop.

"May I help you, Miss?" A store assistant asked.

"I was sent here by the Tsukiyama Family. My name is Hiroki Ando."

Her eyes lit up significantly before a smile appeared on her face. You were slightly afraid of what was to come...
--
An hour had passed and your mask was almost done.

After completing a quiz and displaying your kagune to the superbly enthusiastic store assistant, she showed you samples of masks that could fit you. In the end, you combined the designs of a few to make one perfect mask for yourself.

While you had your kagune out, the store assistant asked what your alias was. You never thought about that so she made one for you: Phoenix.

"Your koukaku has a beautiful orange and red colour combination, and when it covers your arm, it resembles a wing," she said, her tone implied that she was kissing your ass a little. Probably because you'd mentioned that the every renowned Tsukiyama Family had sent you. But it was all well and good.
--
After you'd paid and left the store with your mask in a very pretty golden bag, you immediately began to walk back to the mansion.

You hadn't seen what it looked like yet; you wanted to surprise yourself once you returned.

While walking, the word "Phoenix" kept popping up in your head. It was a brilliant name. For a moment, you'd forgotten that you weren't (L/N) (Y/N); you saw yourself as Hiroki Ando, a member of the Tsukiyama family.
