"Rrrgh! I hate that little ginger megalomaniac! Does he think HE's the Queen of Heart?" Ace says angrily after being kicked out of the dorm. "Banished by the housewarden from my dorm... My dream of becoming an honor student is slipping further and further away..." Deuce mumbles sadly while Grim is trying to get his collar out of his neck: "Stupid collar! It's so tight! Grrr..." When Cyno goes to them, they're all surprised to see that Cyno has no collar on his neck because he is also collared like the rest of them. Like reading their mind, Cyno says: "I broke it into half by myself." Everyone was shocked by his answer, they wondered if he could break theirs also, and again Cyno beat them to it: "I won't break you guys collar because it was your punishment from YOUR housewarden, and as for Grim I'll break your collar at the end of the day as a punishment for adding more oil to the fire." Ace and Deuce sulked after remembering what Cyno said back at the party.

But before they can step another step, Cyno suddenly summons his weapon and then points it in the air: "Show yourself." Making everyone surprised. A head pops up at the tip of his polearm; he has short, choppy purple hair with his bangs cut in a curve, as well as three bobby pins pinned to the bang on the left side of his face. He has a pair of purple cat ears with a piercing of a speech bubble containing the word "up" in his left ear as well as three arrow piercings in his right ear. He has yellow eyes with slitted cat pupils, grinning at the group with a tiny sweatdropped seeing a weapon was precisely at his face. Keeping his grin, the boy speaks: "You're racking up those collars. Quite the impressive collection." Cyno tightens his weapon ready to strike him again: "Who are you?" The head makes the trio scream their lungs out. Then the rest of his body appears in front of them. "Oops. It seems I'm not all here." He wears a baggy white shirt over a striped purple t-shirt, and blue pants with a purple belt that has the sentence "Do you stand on your head?" printed on it. He has purple painted nails and wears a ring shaped like the Cheshire Cat's smile on his right hand.

Cyno squints his eyes at the boy not liking the boy's attitude. "I ask again: Who are you? My patience is running thin." Cyno points his weapon at the boy's neck making him shiver slightly in fear. "Why don't you put away your weapon first then I'll answer your question." The strange cat boy says, Cyno pulls back his weapon and crosses his arm waiting for the boy to speak. "The name's Artemiyevich Pinker. Am I a cat? Am I a pundson? A mimsy bonogove, perhaps? A mome rath with a knack for magic?" The trio looks confused after his introduction: "Uh, look, Ar... Arte... Run the name by me again?" Ace asks confusingly making the guy let out a small giggle: "Heh heh. People usually just call me Chenya. Let's just say I'm from the other side of the looking glass."

"Why are you here?" Cyno asks bluntly clearly showing no interest in what Chenya has said. Chenya gives him his signature 'Chesire smile' and then says:" Well cutie, I'll explain later. Why don't you guess which dorm am I from?" But before he can say anything, Grim has already beat him to it: "Oh, I know! He's got animal ears, so he's gotta be from... uh... Bananaclaw, was it?" Cyno just slaps his forehead at Grim answer while Ace and Peace try to hold their laughter. "Bzzzzzzt! Incorrect. Bananas grow on trees, do they not? I, on the other hand, am a cat." Chenya explains. "Other dorms have students with animal ears, too." Deuce adds. Ace is getting annoyed by the cat boy's attitude. "After the insanity that teapot tyrant put me through, I'm not in the mood for whatever this is. Just leave me alone." Chenya chuckles: "Riddle the teapot tyrant... Heh heh. Well, I can't dismiss that perspective as wrong. He's always been quite strict."
