There was a knock at the door.  It didn't stop for long, and resounded with renewed vigor.  The girl reached for her phone.  The screen showed 05:05.  Ri grimaced and lazily got out of bed.  My ankles were still aching from the intense pain.  The man behind the door seemed to have gone mad and was banging on the door like crazy.

“Yes, I’m coming,” the dark-haired woman grumbled loudly, approaching the door.

She opened the door and saw...

"Rain?" the girl asked in surprise and looked behind him, "Cardi?  Guys?  What happened?  It's only five in the morning."

“What happened between us yesterday was a mistake,” Rain said firmly in a voice of steel.

“Wait, what?! Not!  You can't talk like that!' Tears welled up in Ri's eyes.

"I can and will.  You yourself are to blame for everything", - the ghoul turned around and walked along the corridor, leaving the girl alone with her remaining friends.

“Rain told us everything, Riana.  I'm disappointed in you.  There was nothing between you, no, and it cannot be", - Cardinal turned around and left after the water ghoul.

The girl sank to the floor in hysterics and burst into tears even more.  The ghouls started calling her names.  The girl got up from the floor in desperation and slammed the door loudly in front of them.

Riana flinched at the knock on the door and sat up abruptly in bed.  The notebook and the sheet on it with Rain's references rolled onto the blanket.  There was an inexplicable feeling of longing inside.  She sighed loudly and began to wipe away her tears.

"Yes, who is there?"  - the girl tried to make the most relaxed voice.

"Good morning.  It's me, Swiss.  Something happened?  Do you cry?"  A worried voice came from behind the door.

“No,” the girl only answered, so as not to reinforce the suspicions of the multi-ghoul.

"Then can I come in?"

"Nooo!  Wait!"  The girl screamed and quickly got up from the bed.  Hastily shoving the bassist's drawings into a notebook and placing it on the table, Ree started looking for something to change into.  In that hurry, the girl could not find something suitable and shouted, - "go for now, I'll catch up with you."

“Don’t linger,” the ghoul said, and the dark-haired girl heard distant steps.

Finally, in a more relaxed atmosphere, the girl went to the bathroom and brought herself back to normal.  She quickly put on black denim shorts and a T-shirt and ran to the living room.  The girl opened the door, and there was absolutely no one there.  Empty room.  Riana ran into the corridor and up the stairs, passing steps through one, in the blink of an eye she reached the top, where she ran into Suiss.

“I forgot to warn you that we are waiting for you in the dining room, just now I was going back,” the ghoul said guiltily.

The girl didn't answer.  Because of the emptiness in the soul, everything and everyone irritated.  She did not want to quarrel with the ghoul.  She reached the dining room, where the whole company of ghouls and the Cardinal were already sitting at the table.

“Good morning, mia cara, is something bothering you?”  The Cardinal stood up and greeted the girl.

"Hello," was all the girl replied.

“You’re a girl, when will you start covering up the bruises under your eyes?”  Sodo didn't even bother to say hello.

“You’re a guy, when will you finally have balls?”  - Ri answered sharply in response and, after a short pause, continued, - "when all sorts of guests stop coming to me and rushing me, then I'll start.  Jerk."
