"Where am I".
A Young man with black hair said he had just woken up as he saw the ground; it had a red spider lily and purple cherry blossom. As he looked around a bit, he got up and looked around.
The Young man spoke. "Ok, where the hell am I".
"My, my, a new soul".
He looked up to see Flandre, as he looked at the little girl. "Oh Great, I found someone in this place".
"Not only one".
She saw a girl with dark brown hair and red eyes. She has two wolf ears, long red nails; and wears a long, blue-white and red dress, ending in a black trim with a cobweb pattern. At the neck of her dress is a red amulet.

The Young man spoke taking a step back this time. "Um, what is happening".
Flandre spoke as she looked. "Oh nothing, we are just looking at dinner".
The Man screamed as he spoke. "What!".
Kagerou laughed as she spoke, her nails got sharper. "Souls that end up here, will they be food for Yoka like us after all".
They lunged at the Man and closed his eyes, as the world went grey, as they both fell on the ground as they saw the Man was behind him, as they heard voices
"Sorry to say they girls, but he is not food, unless you both want too Curse".
They both looked to see Gensokyo resident Angel, Chris.
Kagerou spoke as she looked at him. "Ah, what do you mean".
Chris landed down as he folded his Wings. "That is because his soul came to this place by accident; he still has family and friends, which puts him under watchful eyes".
Flandre then spoke. "But I am hungry".
Chirs wnet to her as he spoke. "Her, just take my blood".
Flandre wrapped her arms around his neck as she spoke. "You're too sweet".
As she bit his neck and just like her sister, she moaned when she started to drink his blood; Chris then looked at Kagerou as he threw at her pack of McDonald's. "Another soul I guided to the afterlife had this with him, you can eat this".
Kagerou raised an eyebrow, glancing at the McDonald's pack Chris had thrown her way. "Fast food, huh? I suppose it's better than nothing," she said with a sly grin, her sharp nails extending as she opened the bag. She pulled out a burger and took a large bite, clearly unimpressed but not complaining.
Flandre, still wrapped around Chris's neck, moaned in satisfaction as she drank his blood. Her body relaxed, her earlier hunger waning. "You're really too good to me, Chris," she murmured against his neck, her fangs still embedded in his skin.
Chris let out a small sigh, trying to ignore the sensation as he looked back at the young man who had stumbled into this strange place. "Don't mind her," he said, addressing the confused man. "She's harmless when she's well-fed. As for you..." Chris turned his attention back to the new soul, "It looks like you've found yourself in the afterlife a bit sooner than expected. I suggest you don't panic; you're not in any danger right now."
The young man, still looking around with wide eyes, took a step back, clearly unsure of how to process everything. "So... I'm dead?"
Chris nodded. "Not exactly, but close enough. You're in Muenzuka, an area between life and death. It's a bit complicated, but you're not truly gone yet. Your soul wandered into this limbo-like space by accident."
"Muenzuka?" the young man asked, his voice trembling. "What is this place?"
Chris folded his wings, moving closer. "Think of it like a holding area. Souls sometimes wander here when they get lost, or when they're just not ready to move on yet. It's not exactly the afterlife... but not the world of the living either."
Kagerou, finishing her burger, wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. "So, what now? Are we sending him back to his family or...?"
Chris gave her a look. "Not exactly. That's not how it works. He'll have to figure that out for himself. But for now, he's safe here. Flandre and I will make sure of it."
Flandre finally pulled away from Chris, licking her lips with a satisfied smile. "You're so tasty, Chris," she said teasingly, her eyes gleaming. She turned to the young man. "You're lucky, though. If Chris hadn't shown up, I would have made you my snack."
The man gulped, clearly nervous but also in awe of the strange beings around him. "So... what happens now? Am I supposed to stay here forever?"
Chris shook his head. "No. This is a temporary place. You'll be given a choice—move on to the afterlife, or return to the living world. You'll need to decide what's best for you."
Kagerou stretched lazily, brushing crumbs off her dress. "Well, he's lucky. Most souls don't get this kind of choice. They just get devoured or forgotten." She eyed the man up and down. "But you? You're still here. You must have some value."
The young man looked from Chris to Kagerou, still processing the information. "I... I don't know what to do. I don't even know how I ended up here."
Chris put a hand on his shoulder, trying to reassure him. "It's okay. Take some time to think it through. There's no rush."
Flandre flew up, hovering above the man with a mischievous grin. "Besides, we have plenty of time for you to decide. And if you ever get hungry again..." She licked her lips dramatically, clearly not helping with the anxiety the man was feeling.
Chris sighed, rubbing his temples. "Not helping, Flandre."
The young man looked up at the sky, his expression filled with confusion and uncertainty. "I... I just want to go home."
Chris nodded. "I understand. It's a tough situation, but here, you have options. You just have to decide which path you want to take. No one can make that decision for you."
With that, the conversation settled into a quiet lull. Flandre floated around, humming to herself, while Kagerou leaned back against a tree, uninterested in the human drama unfolding before her. Chris watched the young man, knowing this would be a difficult choice for him to make.
The world of Muenzuka seemed to stretch on, an endless expanse of red spider lilies and purple cherry blossoms, a reminder of the strange, limbo-like state they all found themselves in. Time felt distorted here—neither moving forward nor backward, just existing in the space between life and death.
Chris's mind wandered for a moment as he looked at the man, wondering if he, too, would someday find himself in the same position.
"Remember," Chris spoke after a few moments of silence, "In the end, it's your choice. You don't have to follow anyone's path but your own."
The man finally seemed to nod, albeit hesitantly. He still wasn't sure what to make of all this, but at least he was no longer alone in this strange place. And for the moment, that was enough.
The man looked at him. "So um, what exactly is Muezuka in human terms".
Chris looked as he spoke. "ok let me tell, but do answer me first before reacting, what is your name, as for this place, it is basically the fast food area for YouKai".
The young man blinked, still trying to grasp the enormity of what was happening. "Wait, wait... 'fast food area for Youkai'?" He repeated, trying to make sense of it. "Are you telling me this place is where Youkai get their meals? And... and I'm one of those meals?"
Chris chuckled lightly, shaking his head. "Not exactly. It's more like a purgatory-like zone. A place where souls that aren't ready to move on, or just got lost, end up." He crossed his arms, looking the man up and down. "But you're right in the sense that Youkai, like Kagerou and Flandre, might come here for... well, food, if you want to put it that way."
The man rubbed his forehead, trying to piece everything together. "Okay, so you're telling me I'm stuck in limbo, and I'm probably going to get eaten by monsters. Great."
Flandre laughed from above, her mischievous grin only adding to the tension. "Hey, I wouldn't say it like that! Chris saved you, so you're fine for now. But still... I'm hungry."
Chris shot her a quick glance, clearly annoyed. "Not helping, Flandre. You can't go around scaring the new guy like that."
The young man swallowed hard. "So... this is like the waiting room for souls, right? But for Youkai too?"
"Exactly," Chris said, nodding. "It's a crossroads between the living world and the afterlife. Some souls end up here if they don't belong in either place, or if they're caught in-between. The Youkai are... well, they come here for souls, or sometimes to pass the time. It's a bit more complicated, but that's the gist of it."
The man nodded slowly, still processing the information. "And you're telling me that Youkai are real too?"
Chris paused for a moment, eyeing him carefully. "Youkai aren't just some legend. They exist, and they're a part of Gensokyo—the land where beings like us live." He gestured toward Kagerou, who was still leaning against the tree. "She's one of them, and Flandre here is... well, she's a Youkai too, though not quite like her."
The young man looked back at the two women, his eyes wide. "So... what, is everyone here some kind of monster?"
Chris shrugged. "Not everyone, but it's more common than you'd think. Kagerou's a Youkai, and Flandre's more of a vampire, but there are plenty of other beings around—some more dangerous than others." He leaned in a bit, giving the man a more serious look. "But don't worry, I'm not going to let you get eaten. You're safe with me for now."
"Chris is right," Kagerou said, taking a final bite of her McDonald's burger. "You're not in immediate danger, but... let's just say things around here can get complicated if you're not careful."
The young man nodded slowly, still trying to wrap his head around everything. "I... don't really know how to react to all of this. I didn't even know this kind of world existed."
"Well, it does," Chris said with a smirk. "But that's not the point right now. The question is, what's your name, and what are you going to do now that you're here?"
The man hesitated before answering. "My name's... Akira."
Chris nodded. "Alright, Akira. It's good to know who you are. Now, I'll say this one more time: you've got options. You can choose to move on to the afterlife, or you can stay here in Muenzuka and try to find a way back to your old life, if that's what you want. But I'd suggest taking your time and thinking it through."
Akira, still reeling from everything, finally spoke up. "I just want to go back... back to my family. My friends... I didn't expect this, and I don't know what to do."
Chris sighed and nodded sympathetically. "I get it. It's a lot to take in all at once, but you're not alone in this. You'll figure it out, eventually."
"Yeah," Kagerou added, her voice casual. "Don't rush yourself. You have time. But if you ever get hungry..." She smirked. "Just remember, I'm around."
Flandre gave a playful wink. "Yeah, and I'll make sure Chris doesn't go hungry either," she added, giving Chris a teasing look.
Chris rolled his eyes. "Anyway, let's not make this more awkward than it already is. Akira, why don't you just take a moment and breathe? Everything can wait for a bit."
Akira nodded, taking in a deep breath as he tried to center himself. The strange world around him was unsettling, but Chris's presence seemed to ease his anxiety a little. At least for now, he wasn't alone. He could only hope he would figure out what to do next.
For now, Muenzuka—this strange purgatory-like space—seemed like a safe haven. At least, for the time being.
Akira looked as he spoke. "Hey what is your name"
Chris looked as he spoke. "Chris Afton".
Akira blinked as he spoke. "Wait I know of you".
Chris blinked as he spoke in supires. "You know about me? How? Your names doesn't sound even remotely American".
Akira chuckle as he spoke. "Will not really, I kinda like too listen too crime documentary, I was board one day and stumbled on the video that said 'Mystery Of Freddy Fazbear Pizza place' it started with the bite of 87, said about the missing kids incident and everything, up to fire of 2023".
Chris's expression darkened slightly at the mention of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. He had long since left that life behind, but hearing it brought up again always sent a strange chill down his spine.
"So, you heard about all that, huh?" Chris muttered, rubbing the back of his head. "I guess I shouldn't be surprised. That whole story became something of an urban legend."
Akira nodded. "Yeah, but it's weird. The documentary never really confirmed what happened to the Afton family after the fire. The theories were all over the place—some said William Afton died in the fire, others said he somehow survived. Some even said that the spirits of the missing kids finally got their revenge."
Chris scoffed. "Heh, people love their ghost stories. But trust me, some things are better left buried."
Akira raised an eyebrow. "So... what really happened to you?"
Chris sighed. "Let's just say I got out before it was too late. I was lucky enough to escape that nightmare and ended up here in Gensokyo." He smirked slightly. "And now, instead of haunted animatronics, I deal with bloodthirsty Youkai, time-stopping maids, and vampire princesses. Quite the upgrade, don't you think?"
Akira chuckled nervously. "I don't know if I'd call dealing with Youkai an 'upgrade'…" He then hesitated before asking, "So... does that mean William Afton—your father—is actually dead?"
Chris's smirk faded as he looked at the ground. "I hope so," he muttered under his breath.
Flandre, who had been quietly listening, tilted her head. "Huh? What are you guys talking about?"
Chris glanced at her before shaking his head. "Nothing important. Just some old ghosts from my past."
Flandre pouted. "Boo, that sounds boring. If it's not fun, then forget about it!"
Chris chuckled. "You know what? You might be onto something, Flan."
Akira, still trying to process everything, looked between Chris and Flandre before sighing. "Alright… I guess I'll just roll with it. Gensokyo is already weird enough; what's one more crazy story?"
Chris smirked. "Now you're getting it."
