10:30 PM, Hope's Peak Academy New Building, Confection Workstation

It was such a wonderful day to take a walk through the park with my sweet Yoi-Yoi. Such a shame that Seiko decided to bail off and take Y/N back to Hope's Peak. Something about having to check if he was intoxicated or something like that, Ruruka thought, as she was busy working on her next candy project. She wasn't exactly in the best mood at the moment, since her special time was so rudely broken up after Y/N began to phase out of control. I mean, yeah, I know I'm the reason behind that and that I'm kind of responsible, but still!

How much of that drug did I even put in that candy? I only wanted to give enough for him to be a bit tipsy, nothing more. But by the time Seiko dragged him away, he looked like he was half drunk almost. Shit, I knew I should've asked her what the safest amount of dosage was before I took it. Besides, knowing drugs and their side effects are her speciality, NOT mine.

The only reason I haven't exploded yet is because Yoi-Yoi was there to make my day better. Serves to show, doesn't it? Seiko, she can definitely get the job done at times, but I can always count on Yoi-Yoi to be there for me whenever shit hits the fan. Another reason I trust him more than her, she thought.

Still, I have to admit, it was hilarious seeing Y/N walking around Seiko like her own personal lapdog, begging for affection. At least that's another good thing that came out of today, I suppose. She chuckled to herself at the thought of that boy getting on his knees and begging to Seiko.

Eventually, Ruruka decided that she spent enough time rambling about her day and decided to get back to her work. She took out her bag of candy and took out two large, glassy blue jawbreakers, and placed them inside of the candy statue's eye sockets. They were meant to be a substitute for the statue's eyes.

Ruruka was making a human-sized candy statue, with the body style taking the form of an average teenage girl. Its skin was light pinkish, made from gummy-like candy with an incredibly hard shell on the outside, to prevent the mold from smearing. Several different colored gummy candies were coated all across the statue's body. And as for the hair, she made it dark pink, entirely out of licorice. As for the outfit, she chose a casual blue T-shirt with a V neck, along with a pair of khaki shorts. She spent the past month dedicating herself to this. And it seems as if the work was paying off. The statue almost looked as if it were a real person made entirely out of candy...

I need to figure out what I should name this, too. Gumdrop Angel? No, no, not that. Candy Queen? No, not that, either. I'll think of something later, I'm sure.

After half an hour passed, Ruruka was ready to pack up and head back to her dorm for the night. A few thoughts rolled through her head. Maybe I was being a bit dramatic about the whole "candy" situation. I mean, now that I think about it, I wouldn't call it a complete failure. Seiko gave the candy to Y/N, he ate it, I saw the bright look on her face when she handed it to him, then Y/N started acting like a moth to a flame and the rest went to shit-

"Uh...who are you talking to, Ruruka?"

Completely startled, Ruruka shrieked and jumped back, turning around to see who was there. To her surprise, Seiko was there, now in her Hope's Peak uniform, carrying a dark grey bag with her. From what she could tell, Seiko's eyebrows gave off a very stern expression.

Ruruka: "Don't sneak up on me like that! Wait...was I talking out loud before you got here?"

Seiko: "Yeah. Pretty much."

Ruruka: "How much did you hear?"

"Only the part where you mentioned a moth, I think. But enough about that. Ruruka, we need to talk. About Y/N," the pharmacist told her coldly.
