TW// Mention of past abuse, injury


Shiro wakes up. She hears noises in the bathroom so she goes to investigate. She sees Akane.

SHIRO: Good morn-

Akane hugs her. Shiro is shooked, but then she smiles and hugs Akane back. She looks at her.

SHIRO: Can I do your hair today?

Akane nods.


Later at breakfast Shiro looks at everyone. They seem happy, but in the past few days they all have been through a lot.

SHIRO: I know what will make you all happy!

Everyone looks at her.

SHIRO: A ballroom dance!

DAVID: Exuse me, what?!

SHIRO: A ballroom dance!

DAVID: I'm starting to think that you and Taggi share the same brain cell.

Taggi looks at him annoyed.

MIRA: You don't have enough people and we are not inviting anyone from outside.

SHIRO: We don't need to. David can make some projections and I program some plushies.

AI: Why?

SEI: I think it's a great idea.

Everyone looks at Sei.

SEI: What, isn't it?

TAGGI: I don't know how to dance.

SHIRO: You don't need to know.

AI: And what about the outfits.

SHIRO: That's the fun part. We go shopping!

MIRA: Okay, that part does sounds fun...

SHIRO: Common who's in.

Sei raises his hand and so does Mira and than Akane. Shiro smiles. They all eventually put up their hands, except Ai.

AI: Fine you win again Shi.

Ai winks at Shiro and she smiles.


Later they all decorate the room and prepare the necessary things. Ai, Shiro and Mira in the bath in the evening.

SHIRO: Oh I can't wait for tomorrow!

AI: I must admit I am too.

Then the door opens and Akane comes in.

MIRA: Akane?

Akane removes the towel and goes in the bath. They all smile.

AI: Ahhh it's nice to relax for a bit. We've all been on edge lately.

MIRA: Haha I guess you could say we all have daddy isuess.

AI: Well not just daddy isuess, more like parent isuess.

They all laugh. Akane turns around and leans on the side of the bath. Her hair slide aside and her scars are shown.

SHIRO: Akane your back-

Akane only laughs.

AKANE: You're not the only one with parent isuess.

MIRA: What happened?

AKANE: More or less the same as you... punishments.

MIRA: Yours look more brutal.

AKANE: I guess... My parents always expected more of me, afterall I'm the rightful heir to the throne.

AI: Exuse me?

AKANE: What?

She suddenly realises what she said.

AKANE: Oh, please don't tell the others.

SHIRO: You're a princess!!

AKANE: Yes... kind off, just please don't tell the others.

MIRA: Why not?

AKANE: Just don't, please.

AI: Okay, okay we won't.

AKANE: Thank you.

SHIRO: Ohhhhh I need to pick your dress tomorow!

They all laugh.


Adira is outside the wall on a hill watching down at the big house.

ADIRA: So that's what you've been up to... Traitor.
