3rd person's POV
Y/n was awkwardly sitting with her aunts and brother by the dining table. She glanced over to the head butler and maid that gave her flashed smiles and she sighed. "You must go visit all of your benefactors, it is important to solidify your organization."

"We have talked to the what did the family about your marriage arrangements."

"We are all telling you this for your sake, Ainosuke."

"That's right. This is all for your sake." Y/n rolled her eyes and stood up and walked towards the door when she got stopped by her aunts' voices, "Where do you think you're going, young lady?" Y/n turned to them and crossed her arms, "Work,"

"You work?" Y/n sighed, "I have a part-time job at Dope Sketch, remember?"

"I thought you had quit that job," Y/n scoffed, "Just because you three want me to, doesn't mean I'm gonna do it."

"Y/n. Your attitude." the girl gritted her teeth, "You have no right to say what I'm gonna do or not do! It's my life and you have nothing to do with it!"

"You're a part of this family! And you're gonna respect us—"

"Why should I? You're controlling my life just as much as you try to control Ainosuke's! I never asked to be a part of this family!" She yelled and stormed out of the room and made her way to the front door.

Y/n stepped into the shop to see Reki toss a piece of dog food in the air Sketchy jumped for it and landed on a small toy skateboard.

"Sketchy!" Y/n said and the dog kicked the skateboards so it slammed into Reki's and Langa's faces.

"—Ouch!" They both yelled and Y/n smiled as she walked over to the cashier's desk and Sketchy jumped into her arms.

"You done cleaning up?" Manager Oka asked and noticed Y/n "Ah, Y/n you're late." 

"I'm sorry, Manager Oka. My so-called aunts wanted a talk with me," she said as she walked to the back so she could change into her work clothes.

When she came back out, the door to the shop opened, and in walked Tadashi in his 'S' outfit. SNAKE handed Reki a heart-formed card. "Take this,"

"What is this?" Reki asked and turned it where it stood 'Dear The Third Wheel'.
"Third Wheel? The third wheel means..." Reki looked to be in thought.

"...someone getting in the way," Langa said.

Reki stared at the card, "What the... I mean, you don't have enough if you've only got three." Y/n looked at the card "I don't think that's the right way to look at it. "ADAM has nominated you to be SHADOW's substitute." 

"Huh?" 

"But you should decline." 

"Huh? After getting nominated? Why?" 

"The previous beef with you was just him playing around. But this time, ADAM is serious,"

"Couldn't ask for more!"
