Now Fujio was known as an impulsive dumbass and it was a correct observation. Gigi was just lucky she'd caught him during his plans of going off to Suzuran and Housen by himself. So, she dressed herself in black straight-leg trousers that looked similar to the Oya Kou boys' uniform pants, along with a black zip-up hoodie over a white top she had been wearing previously and the black blazer from the girls' uniform, Oya High School engraved in the rustic gold buttons. Gigi had the hood pulled over her head with her hair tucked in and a black medical mask on. If you look from afar, you would think it was two school boys but if you paid attention enough and noticed how much narrower her frame was than Fujio's as well as the clear shoe size difference, it wouldn't be too hard to tell she was a girl. It didn't really matter about their 4-inch height difference since Japanese boys were usually short anyways. But delinquent boys were stupid so no one noticed Gigi.

They both made it all the way into Toaru city and even inside Suzuran Boys High School without getting spotted. "are these boys stupid?" Gigi whispered to Fujio who had a huge grin on his face, admiring Suzuran

But Gigi had a scowl hidden behind her hood and mask. Suzuran was dirty. Sure all the graffiti and such was at Oya High as well but before Murayama left he made all the boys clean up and put things back in their proper place so now Oya High looked more like a high school, minus all the graffiti of course. Gigi figures Suzuran and Oya High had varying school rules because the latter had a strict no-smoking rule for the full-timers while these boys who looked like were freshmen were currently smoking. "Suzuran's clearly different" Gigi muttered and Fujio nodded in agreement, looking as if he was taken to the zoo and was seeing his favourite animal up close for the first time ever

Fujio looked away from his surroundings just for a moment to look at Gigi. For the past 2 weeks, Gigi had been staying at Todoroki's place and she had this terrifyingly angry look in her eyes. She'd only gone home once and came back with new piercings and most of her hair chopped off. It was when Gigi finally admitted what happened that he realized exactly what happened. He felt terrible. Maybe that's why he let Gigi tag along with him to Suzuran. Maybe letting out some of her anger at Suzuran would help her out. "it's so cool" Fujio gushed like a child, grabbing Gigi's blazer sleeve and tugging at it

"yeah, yeah" she said

Gigi began to tell him about Ryu and Genji Takiya and how they were at Suzuran. She told him how she didn't get to hear their stories yet and promised to take him with her next time she goes to see Ryu while Genji is there. Gigi is warmhearted, everyone knew that. Sure like everyone else she wasn't a good person but you didn't need to be a good person to be warmhearted, right? "come on, come on" Fujio tugged her further into the school till they made it to this kind of courtyard area

Gigi couldn't help but think back to Ryu and Genji and wondered if the school looked the same while they were here. She wonders if they had to face similar conflicts as Oya and Housen. Gigi doesn't know much about Suzuran's history but she wanted to hear about it, not by being in the hellhole of the school. Even though she was so interested in the school's past, coming here was a completely different thing. She wasn't sure why she expected Suzuran to look a lot more different than Oya but— "Anno!" Fujio yelled up to two boys sitting on a level higher than they were standing
