Toko's POV: (TW: self-deprecating language)

Toko would never consider herself a snitch.

Sure she has told on people in the past, but only for super bad things, okay? She's not one of those teacher pets who tattled everytime someone breaks the rules just slightly. That's just embarrassing.

But as she paces her dorm room, practically ripping out her hair in anxiety, she thinks over the words she accidentally overheard last night.

"Hey...Are you actually planning to not tell Togami you like him?"

"I mean...yeah? I don't know I mean, he's got his own stuff and I don't even know if he's gay so"

Gay.

Master Byakuya? Gay?

Well, this is embarrassing.

Nothing against gay people! But why? She thought they had something going! She had a freakin vision board with the two of them! She groans and tugs on her braids. There's no way.

Idiot, idiot, idiot. You thought? You really thought you could get someone? You absolute idiot.

She wipes her glasses.

Come on. Naegi liking master Byakuya? Why? Well actually, she can see why. His luscious hair, his icy blue eyes, it's practically what romance novels love!

It's what she loves.

Right?

She thinks back to Omaru. How she desperately tries to distance Toko from her master Byakuya. Her attempts were...futile. It worked though. But It's dumb. It was dumb. So dumb.

Omaru with her stupid hair. Her stupid ahoge. Stupid baggy clothes. Stupid flannel. Stupid face. Stupid concerns for Toko. Stupid smile.

She's stupid.

Toko can feel her face heat up and she claws at her hair. "Oh no" she mumbled. No. Nono.

She sits down on her bed, burying her face in her hands. No way. There is no way she...she...

No. No way.

Oh she feels so sick. She needs to talk about this with someone. Anyone. She pulls out her phone instinctively until she realizes; the only person she talks to is Komaru.

The one she has the problem with.

She internally groans. God why did she have to trust only one person in her life?!

Wait.

There is one other person but...she also hates her a bit. Eugh. It's worth a shot.

Toko Fukawa < Aoi Asahina

Toko: help

Hina: ?

Toko: nevermind this was a bad idea

Toko turned off her phone while regretting all her life choices. She bit at her nail before it buzzed. Once. Twice. Three times and then she picked it up.

Hina: what's going on?

Hina: come on Fukawa

Hina: don't you hate me?

Toko: slightly. But you're the only one I can talk to right now. Don't get a big head about it

Hina: don't you have Komaru?

Toko: this is about her

Hina: 🤨

Toko: shut up
