Chapter two
Monotone honesty

Kokichi stood up from his strange position, his knee cracked making him flinch, not in pain but in surprise.
He was drained,
he spilled his heart out to the fucking floor well,,,
and someone else but he didn't know that.

Hiding emotions was an easy thing for Kokichi to do but he was exhausted, most likely caused by the mix of nether sleep or food.
Hiding his emotions just wasn't going to happen that day.

The tired teen headed out to breakfast.
Without lies and with people,
both are a new addition to the morning.

——how are you people doing today?——

Kaito, a 6-foot tall high-schooler,
was sitting down for breakfast. He was a tad late after getting back from waking up the
emo boy he was now sat beside.

Kaito was there, surrounded by all his friends.
He usually never had to worry about any chaos at breakfast.
There was a couple worse than others in the group but nothing Kaito would ever complain about,
Mui was loud but not an asshole and
Maki was very straightforward and sometimes a bit mean but stayed quiet most of the time.
The astronaut liked everyone in the room.
They were all his friends.

Kokichi walked in.

Kaito thought his breakfast full of the right amount of agreements and arguments would be shattered.
The tall plum haired boy was staring.
Kaito had never seen Kokichi at breakfast,
it was strange to him.
Kokichi was looking around the table full of the people who hated him,
compared to the empty cafeteria he usually saw, it looked a lot different, it even felt different.
The opposite boys caught each other's eyes.
"....hello" the skinny boy said in the most raspy, flat voice Kaito has ever heard form him.

Kaito made Kokichi realized how weird he must look stood at the entrance.
The boy took an inhale as if the kitchen wasn't less than 5 meters away.
The pale boy took off from the people he was planning to escape with.

The tall boy and his sidekick were sitting next to each other, as a detective Shuichi is often observant of things happening around him.
Kaito knew for a fact he noticed what happened. The in-shape teen turned his head towards the quiet boy, looking for a reaction.
"what the fuck" the normally loud boy mumbled under his breath in pure shock.
The sidekick, Shuichi was wearing a devastated face, almost as if he just saw someone die,
Kaito knows a face like that a lot better than he wanted to.

What could the astronaut even do in a situation like that? Nothing.
The answer is nothing, no matter what he did there wasn't a complete story.
He doesn't know what was up with Kokichi
or Shuichi, heck he doesn't even know why he's there in the school.
In the end he will just be confused.
He doesn't do anything, just eats breakfast.
At least Kokichi isn't being obnoxious, right?

-—-what do you think the worst colour is?-—-

A mature young lady known as Kirumi was working in the kitchen, she was the ultimate maid,
her and Momokuma shared the chores.

The polite girl was reaching for food that was buried deep into the fridge.
The digging for food stopped when Kirumi heard a small "excuse me"
the 2 words weren't shy or stuttered but weren't said in high confidence either.
The green eyed girl turned around to see a boy smaller than her by 8 inches.
He is looking down, refusing to make direct
eye contact.

Kirumi wasn't sure who she was expecting to be there but it definitely wasn't the mischievous Kokichi.
Pushing away a surprised expression
"Ouma-san do you need help with anything?"
the maid asked with a soft, welcoming smile.
"uh- oh, no sorry, I just want to grab a panta"
he said stuttering a bit.

Kirumi's muscle memory kicked in,
nothing else in her body seemed to be working. Out of pure shock she stumbled out of the way.
Ouma apologized.
Ouma
apologized.
Kirumi watched as the boy grabbed his unhealthy, sweet drink.
Kokichi said something,
Something Kirumi will never forget.

"Tojo-chan?" He called out "do you know why
I call you mom? Ha, probably not"
a slight smile could be seen.
"Well, I didn't have any good parental figures but when I got here, you cleaned, cooked, cared for me, everything my parents never did.
So... thank you, mom"
He made a moment of eye contact with a pitiful grin painted on his face.
He looked back down and exited the kitchen, swinging one foot over the other.

Kirumi was shocked, not the kind of shocked where you're wide-eyed but the kind shocked where you're not breathing, blinking or moving.
She stood there completely dazed for a few minutes? Seconds? She couldn't tell.

Ouma opened up to her.
That was the only thing in her head.
The maid neglected breakfast and rushed into the cafeteria,
"Hey!" She shouted to get her classmates attention, "do anything of you know what's wrong with ouma"
The maid was usually gentle and soft, the stern, harsh tone didn't reflect on that.
She was scared, worried for Kokichi and his wellbeing.

"You noticed too?!" Kaito yelled in response, the loud tone was a lot more natural for the
lavender eyed male.

Shuichi just.... left?

He knows something.
They know he knows something.
