Dr. Romani beckoned me with an urgent and excited expression, instantly capturing my attention.

Ritsuka: "What's going on, Dr. Romani? Did something important happen?"

Dr. Romani: "You won't believe it! Da Vinci and I stumbled upon an entirely new singularity during our research. It's like nothing we've ever encountered before. We need you to investigate and fix it. The interesting part is that the data readings are all over the place. Frankly, I have no idea where the Rayshift will take you!"

As I listened to Dr. Romani's words, a mixture of curiosity and concern welled up inside me. This new singularity, with its unpredictable data readings, presented a unique challenge. But I couldn't turn away from the opportunity to explore the unknown, to face the unexpected.

Ritsuka: "I understand. I'll go investigate and do whatever it takes to resolve this singularity."

Dr. Romani: "Fantastic! I knew we could count on you. Now, choose your Servants carefully. This mission might be dangerous."

As Dr. Romani emphasized the gravity of the situation, I couldn't help but feel the weight of responsibility settle on my shoulders. The selection of my Servants became crucial. I needed a strong and reliable team to navigate this unfamiliar territory.

Ritsuka: "Mash, without a doubt. Her defensive abilities will be invaluable in an unknown and potentially treacherous environment."

As I made the decision to bring Mash along, a sense of relief washed over me. Her unwavering dedication and unwavering protection had proven time and again to be a pillar of strength.

Mash: "Absolutely, Senpai! I'll be there to protect you and assist in any way I can."

Next, my gaze fell upon Artoria. Her steadfast leadership and formidable combat skills made her an ideal choice.

Ritsuka: "Artoria, your leadership and combat skills will be crucial on this mission. Will you join us?"

There was a sense of comfort in having Artoria by my side. I knew that with her guidance, we would face any challenges head-on.

Artoria: "Certainly, Master. I'll stand by your side and face whatever challenges come our way."

Finally, I turned to Emiya. His tactical expertise and adaptability would be essential in navigating the unpredictable singularity.

Ritsuka: "Emiya, your tactical expertise and versatility make you an essential asset. We'll need your skills in this singularity."

Emiya's determination and willingness to do whatever it takes to ensure our success reassured me. With him on our team, I knew we had a powerful ally.

Emiya: "Alright, count me in. I'll do whatever it takes to ensure our success."

With our team assembled, a mixture of excitement and nervous anticipation coursed through my veins. We were about to embark on a journey into the unknown, into a singularity that defied all our expectations.

As we made our way to the Rayshift Chamber, saying our farewells to those we left behind, I couldn't help but feel a surge of determination. This was our chance to unravel the mysteries that awaited us, to face the challenges head-on and emerge victorious.

As we entered the Coffins, the radiant light of the Rayshift enveloped us, I couldn't shake the feeling that our destiny was about to be rewritten. This singularity held the promise of adventure, discovery, and perhaps even danger. I knew that in the face of the unknown, we would need to rely on our instincts, our bonds, and our unwavering resolve.

And so, accompanied by Mash, Artoria, and Emiya, I stood ready to face whatever awaited us in this extraordinary realm. It was time to explore, to decipher, and to uncover the secrets that lay hidden in this breathtaking and mysterious landscape.

As we got inside the Coffins , the radiant light engulfed us, whisking us away to a realm beyond imagination. When our surroundings came into focus, we found ourselves in a surreal landscape. The ground beneath our feet was covered in a carpet of vibrant blue grass, interspersed with delicate flowers emitting an ethereal blue glow. Small water puddles reflected the strange hue, adding an otherworldly shimmer to the scene. The absence of stars in the dark sky above lent an eerie atmosphere, as if we had stepped into a realm detached from the familiar cosmos.

We embarked on our exploration, each step revealing new wonders and perplexities. The towering walls of blue rocky formations stood like ancient sentinels, their surfaces adorned with intricate patterns. Some of these patterns seemed almost familiar, reminiscent of celestial constellations or arcane symbols. It was as if the very essence of the cosmos had been transmuted into stone, etching its presence into the walls around us.

Occasionally, we encountered peculiar phenomena along our path. We discovered small pockets of energy pulsating within the blue grass, releasing faint, otherworldly whispers that seemed to carry snippets of forgotten tales. These whispers invoked a sense of both fascination and caution, urging us to delve deeper into the enigma that surrounded us.

The plant life in this realm held its own mystique. The blue flowers that dotted the landscape possessed an enchanting beauty, their petals radiating a soft luminescence. They swayed gently in an invisible breeze, their delicate movements synchronized in an ethereal dance. It was as if the flora itself was attuned to the enigmatic forces that governed this peculiar realm.

In our arduous journey, we encountered more than just breathtaking sights. We stumbled upon abandoned structures, half-buried beneath the earth. Their weathered walls bore intricate carvings, hinting at a forgotten civilization that once thrived in this realm. These ancient ruins whispered tales of a lost history, begging us to unravel their secrets.

As time seemed to lose its grasp, the repetition of the stone walls became a constant companion. The labyrinthine nature of our surroundings made progress feel elusive, as if we were trapped in an intricate tapestry woven by unseen hands. We relied on our instincts, charting a course through the meandering corridors, searching for any signs of a way forward or the truth that lay concealed within this enigma.

As we ventured deeper into the realm, the landscape continued to astound us. We encountered vast caverns filled with shimmering crystals, their glow casting a surreal radiance upon the walls. The crystals pulsed with latent energy, an untapped power that resonated with the very core of this mysterious place.

At times, we encountered ethereal apparitions, wisps of translucent light that flitted through the air. They danced and weaved intricate patterns, seemingly guardians of this realm's secrets. Their presence both intrigued and unsettled us, a constant reminder that we were not alone in this enigmatic journey.

In the midst of our exploration, we stumbled upon a clearing bathed in an eerie, pale light. I had been traveling with my Servants , trying to make sense of this strange singularity. We were caught off guard when we encountered our first individual-a child dressed in a striped jumper, their arms conspicuously absent. Their face and clothingnwere ashen gray, devoid of color and emotion, while his eyes glowed an eerie white.

The child's voice rang out, a cryptic message flowing from their lips.

???: "In the realm of hands, where arms find no rest, the Man Who Speaks In Hands awaits, his touch a silent caress."

The words sent a chill down my spine, and I exchanged wary glances with Mash, Artoria, and Emiya. They were too in alert,while each of them taking fighting stances with their respective weapons. Mash took a defensive stance in front of me.
I know, it may seems exaggerating defending me from a kid, but looking back at some Servants at Chaldea, you needed to be always on alert.

The kid only looked at us through his lifeless eyes, and in a fraction of a second disappeared without trace.
Artoria and Emiya quickly searched around expecting a surprise attack, but fortunately, i guess, nothing happened.

Ritsuka: "Man,i can't get a break with Strange occurances in Singularities, can i?"

Mash looked at me with empathy, while Artoria and Emiya stood there with their own thoughts.

I called Romani using my strange wirst watch thing. Seriously, i need a name for this thing. An hologram of the Doctor Appeared.

Ritsuka: "Hey, Romani. Where to proceed now? Is there any grail?"

Dr. Romani: "U-uh, continue i guess? I don't have any information on your coordinates."

Great,just great.

Pressing forward, we continued our journey, the child's message lingering in our thoughts. It wasn't long before we encountered a second-a short man with strange shaped pupils in his eyes. His shirt bore strange symbols that hinted at hidden meanings.

???: "When eyes meet the shadows' dance, and mouths echo the whispered trance, the Man Who Speaks In Hands arises, his presence a mystic chance."

His cryptic words added another layer to the puzzle, leaving us even more perplexed. We knew we had to keep moving forward and uncover the truth behind this singularity.

As we traversed further, we stumbled upon the third individual-a man with a darkened face that revealed only a wide, grinning mouth. He spoke to us, his voice accompanied by the puppet he wielded.

???: "Through puppetry and twisted jest, the Man Who Speaks In Hands is manifest. With strings unseen, his game is played, beware the tricks his hands have laid."

His unsettling performance and words sent a shiver down our spines. It was clear that the "Man Who Speaks In Hands" was a master manipulator, using his puppetry to control those around him.

This is too unsettling.
I guess i need to thank fate for not making these individuals aggressive.
But what is happening to this singularity that needs to be fixed?
Heck, I don't even know if there is a Holy Grail here.

The fourth individual we encountered was a woman with crazed eyes and a grinning mouth concealed by her long, flowing hair, added to the sense of unease that pervaded this realm. She was hugging her knees,while looking at us with a side glance,with her back facing us.

???: "In the realm where eyes lose sight, and minds succumb to endless night, the Man Who Speaks In Hands takes form, his touch a whirlwind, his presence a storm."

Her words painted a bleak picture, emphasizing the danger that lay ahead. This "Man Who Speaks In Hands" seemed to thrive in chaos and uncertainty, his intentions veiled in darkness.

Amidst the cryptic messages and unsettling encounters, we found a fifth individual, standing on a boat on a river, that seemed to cut our, well, my, since Servants could just jump over the large stream, way of walking.
The individual had a long dark robe,and we couldn't see past the shadows on their face.
They were rather friendly, letting us use their boat,while they hummed strange rhymes.
They presented themselves as the "River Person".

River Person: "Tra La La~ Beware of The Man Who Speaks In Hands~ His grasp reaches far, his plans span many lands~ Tra La La~"

The River Person's cryptic rhyme echoed in our ears, adding to the air of mystery and caution that surrounded this singularity. It was clear that they held vital information, and deciphering their words might lead us closer to the truth.

Mash: "River Person-san, we appreciate your help and the warnings you provide. Can you give information on the nature of this singularity? Who is the 'Man Who Speaks In Hands,' and what is his purpose here?"

The River Person continued to hum their strange melody, their face still obscured by shadows.

River Person: "Tra La La~ The Man Who Speaks In Hands, a puppeteer of fate~ He weaves threads of chaos and holds secrets that can't wait~ In this realm of lost souls, he plays his twisted game~ To solve the enigma, seek the path not paved the same~ Tra La La~"

Their words only served to deepen the mystery, leaving us with more questions than answers. The mention of lost souls and a twisted game indicated that there were greater stakes at play. We needed to find the path less traveled, the unconventional route that might lead us to the heart of this enigma.

Mash: "River Person-san, can you guide us to the path that deviates from the norm?"

The River Person's hums took on a slightly different melody, as if they were contemplating our request. Finally, they nodded.

River Person: "Tra La La~ Follow the river's flow, where currents drift astray~ Abandon well-trodden paths and venture off the beaten way~ Seek the forgotten realms, where truth and secrets intertwine~ And there, you may find the answers that you seek, in this realm divine~ Tra La La~"

As we drifted along the winding river, the scenery around us changed. The vibrant blue grass gave way to ethereal mist, swirling with enchanting hues. Shadows danced and flickered, their movements casting a sense of enchantment over our surroundings.

The River Person's song continued, their voice melodic and soothing.

River Person: "Tra La La~ The river leads the way, through realms of shifting dreams~ The Man Who Speaks In Hands awaits, where reality unravels at the seams~ Unveil the masks of illusion, and pierce the veils of deceit~ The truth lies hidden, where fantasy and reality meet~ Tra La La~"

As the boat glided along the river's course, we could sense a change in the air-a subtle shift in the fabric of this realm. The whispers of forgotten tales grew louder, as if urging us to delve deeper into the heart of the enigma.

Emiya: "Remain vigilant. We don't know what is happening here."

Me, Mash and Artoria, nodded in agreement.

After navigating the winding river, the River Person brought our group to a small dock. They bid us farewell with another cryptic message, their voice filled with a mixture of mystery and whimsy.

River Person: "Tra La La~ Journey well, seekers of truth. The Man Who Speaks In Hands awaits, beyond the realms known to youth. Follow the path unseen, where destiny's whispers reside. Only there shall you find the door, the portal to secrets that hide. Tra La La~"

With those enigmatic words, the River Person vanished into thin air, leaving us standing at the edge of an uncharted territory. We exchanged puzzled glances, trying to decipher the true meaning behind their rhymes.

Ritsuka: "Well, it seems we're on our own now. Let's explore this area and see if we can uncover any clues or find this door they mentioned."

Mash, Artoria, and Emiya nodded in agreement, their eyes scanning the surroundings for any signs of the hidden door. We ventured forth, stepping onto unfamiliar ground, our footsteps echoing through the silence.

As we ventured deeper into this strange realm, the landscape took on an even more surreal occurance.
It was raining everywhere, with small and big puddles all over the place.
There was even an hot-dog stand.

Amidst the barren landscape, our eyes caught sight of an anomaly-an inconspicuous gray door embedded in the middle of a towering wall. It stood out like a sore thumb, its presence jarring in this otherwise desolate landscape.

Ritsuka: "Look, over there! That door seems out of place. Let's investigate."

Approaching the door cautiously, we noticed intricate patterns carved into its surface. The carvings seemed to depict a series of different images of faces, things and hands.

'✋︎❄︎ 🕈︎✋︎☹︎☹︎ 👌︎☜︎ ✡︎⚐︎🕆︎☼︎ ☞︎✌︎🕆︎☹︎❄︎'

Mash: "These carvings... they resemble the hands and some other things mentioned by the cryptic individuals we encountered. Could this door be related to the 'Man Who Speaks In Hands'?"

Artoria: "It's possible. Let's proceed with caution. There's no telling what lies beyond this door."

As we stood before the gray door, uncertainty and anticipation coursed through our veins. The enigmatic journey we had embarked upon had led us to this pivotal moment. We knew that stepping through this door would take us further into the heart of the singularity, where answers and dangers awaited.

Ritsuka: "Here we go. Brace yourselves, everyone."

With a mixture of trepidation and resolve, I reached for the door handle. As my hand made contact with the cold surface, a surge of energy pulsed through me, as if the door itself held a hidden power. With a deep breath, I pushed the door open, revealing the unknown that lay beyond.
