Akira left his dorm, grabbing his tablet and messaging Lily.

Akira: Lily, I need your help now!

Lily: Hmm....With what? Relationship going wrong? Maybe need ideas for new positions to try with your man? 👀 Cmon, Lay it on me.

Akira: ._. PLEASE BE SERIOUS!

Lily: Jesus whats got you so worked up? :/

Akira: Meet me in your Greenhouse, now! I have a plan!

Lily: 👀 I'm telling you right now Akira. You better have something good in mind.

Akira: I think you'll like what ideas I have.

As Akira got to the second floor, he scanned his tablet and got approved to enter the Greenhouse. As soon as he stepped in however, he saw something that...confused him.

Lily was toward the back of the Greenhouse tending to a rather big Venus Flytrap. She was giving it little flies out of a small container very gently as she softly hummed to it.

"No worries now, Mommys got lots of nice treats just for her little Green monster!" Lily said, in a very motherly tone. She placed down the container after the Venus Flytrap was satisfied, and turned around. Jumping over the sight of Akira.

"YOU SAW NOTHING!" Lily shouted, as Akira tilted his head in confusion. "Why so embarrassed? That was honestly kinda cute!"

"I-I wasn't trying to be cute! Plant life is precious too, you know!" Lily stuttered with her words, twirling her hair nervously. "S-So what the fuck is this plan of yours?"

"Ok, do we have-"

Before Akira could say anymore, Lily has pulled him into a secret room within her greenhouse. This room was rather dark, except for a few lights here and there and plants directly underneath.

"For some reason, the dumbass forgot to put Cameras in this room. Don't wanna jinx it, but thank god there's none in here." Lily said. "Now. What do I have again?"

"Uhh, I was gonna ask if perhaps we have any Plants we can use for perhaps a Chemical Formula of sorts to melt the locked door. So we can enter the Mastermind Room." Akira said.

"....Dude, how many point and click games have you played in your life?!" Lily snarked. "You think mixing plants with chemicals...Actually Wait, you might be onto something."

"How will-"

"Ahh! Don't interrupt me! As I was saying." Lily continued. "If I can combine Carbonic Acid and some chemicals together, I could potentially make an acidic chemical mixture that can melt the door..though, if I do that, that's breaking a rule isn't it?"

"I don't recall anything like that in the rules." Akira spoke, as he scrolled through. Finding...Nothing about breaking down locked doors.

"Must be as a means for us to commit murders more easily." Akira said, as Lily spoke. "Then...I'd have to lie and say this is for a creative murder."

"Hmm....Think he'd fall for it?" Akira asked.

Lily chucked. "Possibly, yes. If he falls for it, it's enough of a reason for him not to spy on me and I don't die. Simple."

"Well I'm not risking actually killing someone. Not again." Akira mumbled, as Lily..

Suddenly changed her tone to a more serious one.
