He's pulled into the vast empty space and given Soujuurou-esque clothes, but he's more interested in investigating his surroundings, so he'll take a look at that painting. ]

As he takes a closer look, something plays for all to see:
A girl sits at her desk across from you.
"I need to go home..." you say, and she looks shocked.
"What?! Why?! I thought you didn't want to go home!"
"It's not that I don't want to. But this cold feeling comes over me when I think about it. And it hurts..."
"Is that because of what happened the other day...? ... Ugh, you really should just tell your mom how you feel."
"Doing that is just going to make her worry even more... Between missing that practice exam and breaking curfew, I've already caused her so much trouble..."
Ena frowns.
"I get what you're saying... But are you happy with the situation?"
... Something seems to snag, as if something's skipping ahead to the next part.
Your phone is ringing. It's Mom. As you falter on what to say, Ena grabs the phone from you and turns on a cheerful, respectful voice.
"Pardon me. It's nice to meet you. My name is Ena Shinonome. I'm the friend Mafuyu was talking about. ... No, I go to a different high school. We were studying together and lost track of the time. ... What- how...? ... ... ... Music...? No, I'm not sure what you're talking about... No, I doubt she was talking about me..."
"Ena-"
"You stay quiet." Ena shoots, before returning to the phone conversation. "I... I met Mafuyu through art. ... Uh- So, Mafuyu and I met when she came to see one of my father's art exhibits. We got to know each other after that. ... Yes, have you heard of Shinei Shinonome? He's my father... Yes, that's him! I ran into Mafuyu while helping out at one of his other exhibits... After finding out that she liked his art and that we were the same age, we really got along! ... ... Hehe. I always enjoy hanging out with her. And much like how she was helping me study today, she's done a lot for me. Oh, also... There's something I'd like to ask you...Would it be okay if I had Mafuyu be a model for one of my drawings?"
That catches you off guard- both the idea of her using you as a model and... ... Ena hates her father, and their connection. She's a proud sort who wants to use her own strength and skill... and yet...
Ena keeps talking.
"Yes. I'm not directly following in my father's footsteps, but I'm also trying my hand at art... And she fits exactly what I need to do for my current assignment. So, I'd like to have her be my model... Thank you very much! However, I need to finish my drawing tonight, so I was wondering if Mafuyu could stay over at my house. ... ... Thank you very much!"
...
A night of freedom. To breathe. Is it true? Relief washes over you and only now do you realize how much your stomach hurt from the call.

...So this is Mafuyu's Palace.

[ He lets out a quiet sigh, turns to look at Aubrey. ]
It really never ends, does it? Even so...I'll do my best. I know you will, too.

...We've talked about some of the stuff going on in her world. If her Shadow's taken over... I'll help drag her back, even if she kicks and screams the whole way.
[Her friends from home aren't here to intervene - so now it's up to everyone gathered here today to do so in their place, if necessary.]
no subject
[ Because even he knows that the number of people who care about Mafuyu here is not a force to be reckoned with. ]
She's clearly been through a lot. She doesn't need to endure anymore pain.
no subject
I wonder how we're supposed to get out of here...?
