(Disclaimer, half of the chapter is the author's 2am brain dumping onto a chapter, though small parts of it are still important)

(Kaede's POV)

DING DONG, BING BONG!
Rise and shine, ursine!

"Kichi, you have got to stop doing that." I rubbed my eyes and looked down at him.

"I'll just be a second!"

"What do you want?"

"Woah, Kayayday's moody in the morning! I just wanted to give you your clothes back."

"..Where did you.. get my clothes?"

"Oh! I found them in the oven."

"I'm sorry, what?"

"Yeah, I dunno either!" He smiled.

"It's too early for this shit.. so you're not the one who toasted my clothes?" Maki stepped out of her dorm when I said that.

"Wow, am.. am I still dreaming?" Maki pinched herself. "Ow- nope."

"Sadly, that's not the strangest thing that's happened recently." I said.

"Whaddya mean?" Kokichi slurred his words.

"When I went into my room last night, Tsumugi was just sitting on my bed, when I asked what she was doing she bolted."

"She did that to me too! That bitch!" It happened to Kokichi too?

"And me."

"Should we go ask her?" I suggested.

"I'm one step ahead of you." Maki pulled out a gun and went to Tsumugi's dorm.

"Why do you have a gun!?!?" I yelled. Kokichi was obviously panicked too.

"Okayokay.. let's just.." He flicked the safety switch and carefully lowered it, "let's just put this down now..." When Maki reluctantly gave it to him, he broke it in half effortlessly, "See? Now we're good, okay? Now let's use words to talk to her, kay, Maki-roll?"

"Stop treating me like an armed child."

"Stop acting like one!"

I decided that I've had enough of this shit and knocked on Tsumugi's door.

...

"Hello?" She half-opened the door.

"Hey, you've got some explaining to do." I said

"What do you mean?"

"You broke into our dorms?"

"Oh!"

She slammed and locked the door immediately. We waited to see if she was going to come back, but she didn't.

"You should have just let me bring the gun. I wasn't going to hurt her."

"Whateverrr," Kokichi rolled his eyes, "let's just get to breakfast!" He tried to pull me and I thumped into a wall head first.
