You had woken up suddenly with a jolt. You breathed in heavily and glanced around the room to see you were thankfully, still in Ramshackle Dorm. The lights were turned on and Grim seemed to be already awake.

"You're finally awake! You kept on tossing around and almost squashed me!" Grim complained and kneaded at your sleeves.

"Sorry about that... I just had an odd dream." You replied lightly before climbing off the bed. You sigh and rearrange the bed before changing into your uniform.

Your thoughts wandered back to the dream you had. And now that you really thought about it, these dreams were always related to future troubles you'd have to deal with like the Heartslabyul issue. Maybe these dreams could give you clues to the current issue within the school.

"Come on, it's time for breakfast!" Grim announced suddenly before running out of the room as you followed after him.

Upon arriving at the kitchen, you went over to the fridge to grab the ingredients you'd need. You decided on making (f/f) for yourself and an omelet for Grim.

~Time Skip~

As you two were walking  down the pathway, Grim spoke up, "By the way, where were you last night? I got up to warm some milk and you weren't there."

You paused suddenly and cursed, remembering the strange man you saw that night. Grim looked at you curiously.

"What's up with ya?" The monster asked.

"Well.. last night I couldn't really sleep so I went outside." You began as he listened. "I heard something from the bushes and a tall guy with horns on his head appeared out of nowhere."

"A guy with horns on his head? What was his name?" Grim tilted his head, his eyes shining with more curiosity.

You furrowed eyebrows. "He didn't tell me. He said if I ever knew, I would get chills at the mention of it."

"So, he just told me to call him whatever I want... Though, I'm not really sure what to nickname him as." You admitted.

"Oh, let me do it!" Grim began to ponder about it.  "How about Tsunotaro?!"

"That's perfect!" You laughed at the nickname.

The monster grinned, looking up at you. "If Tsunotaro is also a student of this school, we could probably see him."

"That's why you better bring me with you when you see him! I've never seen a human with horns!"

"I really don't think he's human to be honest... I mean, he had pointed ears and just disappeared into sparks," you explained to the monster, genuinely wondering what the male may be if he wasn't human.

"Good morning you two!" Cater suddenly greeted you both with a large grin. Riddle also stood beside him as you smiled at them.

"Good morning!" You reply with a smile. The redhead stared at you two until his gaze finally landed on your crooked tie that you had tried to quickly put on this morning.

"Your tie is not properly tied. You should follow the rules that regards to uniforms," He gently said before waking over to you and began fixing your neck tie.

"Or else your residents will never listen to you... Though, I guess it's different since you two are the only ones at that dorm." He smiled, satisfied with his work. "There. All done."
