A fairytale of a beautiful maiden, the beloved Frost Flower Princess was supposed to be staying in the comfort of her castle masquerading as a cage to protect her from the dangers outside, imprisoned by her own brothers.
That is, until a mysterious...
* "Oh, happy prince. Oh, you kindhearted prince. Why are you crying? Who has stolen your leaden heart And left you lying? Oh and behold, Over there a lady's praying for rain. But suddenly, The rain has stopped."
* Savanaclaw Dorm
"The headmage told me to watch over this tsum 'til he finds a way to send it back home, so I brought it to the dorm, but man..." Jack muttered as he trudged into the dorm lounge. "Cater's tsum is so well-behaved and lets him hold it. But this guy won't let anyone touch it at all. It just does its own thing. Even getting it through the mirror was a hassle. Why's it gotta be so prickly? I got saddled with a real pain in the neck, just 'cause it happens to look like me." he sighed, rubbing his temple. "But it also tries to keep up with me on my morning runs. I can't make heads or tails of this thing... Hm?"
As he stepped fully into the lounge, he blinked at the unexpected sight of students gathered, many of them sniffling and wiping at their eyes.
"Morning, guys. Aren't you up early." Jack greeted, raising a brow.
"Augh... Housewarden... *sniffle*" one student whimpered, voice choked with emotion.
"What are we supposed to do now? *sniffle*" another sobbed.
"Wha... Why are you all crying?" Jack asked in surprise.
"I can't believe this happened to Leona..." Ruggie sobbed.
"You're upset too, Ruggie? What's going on? What's wrong with Leona?!" Jack asked in alarm.
Ruggie, eyes suspiciously red, looked up. "Jack, you won't believe it! Leona... He's..." he hiccupped dramatically, voice cracking. "HE'S TURNED INTO SOME WEIRD, ADORABLE CREATURE!" he exclaimed.

"Huh? Wait a minute..." Jack's eyes narrowed in recognition.
Ruggie dramatically pointed to the floor—where a small tsum that looked suspiciously like Leona lay belly-up, tail flicking lazily.
"Today's our dorm's big cleaning day, so I got up early for it. That's when I found Leona like this, all belly-up on the floor in front of his room." Ruggie sorrowfully explained. "Maybe he drank some strange transformation potion. He was fine the last time I saw him yesterday! Just lettin' out a huge yawn like usual. To think that lazy expression was the last look of his I'd ever see... Oh, it's too much!" he sobbed.
"IT'S SO TRAGIC!" All the students wepted.
"How stupid can you guys get?" came a familiar, irritated voice.
