========== 

It was the end of the school day and it was time for the students to head back home. The trio of Mei, Kiana, and Bronya prepared to leave with their friend and roommate back to the dorms.

"Y/N!!!" Kiana waved her hand while walking towards him. "Let's play some games when we-"

"No. I'll be heading out today." Y/N cut her off as he got his back and left the classroom. To say the least, it surprised them. They quickly followed him and saw that he was walking away with his phone next to his ear. "Hey! Y/N! Why are you so grumpy?!" Kiana jogged after him, the others doing the same. Y/N turned around.

"I'll be gone for the entire day, so don't bother looking for me." He turned around and left. "Later."

"..."

"..."

"... Why that little-" Kiana was stopped by Bronya putting her hand on her shoulder. Kiana turned around. "What? He is being a jerk!"

"Subject Kiana doesn't seem to understand Subject Y/N's mood." Bronya said. "Subject Y/N facial expression shows slight disgust, feeling of creep, and coldness."

"So he's basically angry at us?" Mei asked, Bronya nodding. She pondered for a while, but couldn't find any reason for him to be angry at them. "I have nothing, do you guys know?" They shook their heads, signaling they knew nothing about it. 

"Subject Y/N must be avoiding us for a reason, Subject Y/N does not act like this." Bronya said.

"So all we got to do is to find out why he's a grumpy old grandpa! Got it!" Kiana pumped her fist. She turned to Mei and Bronya. "Let's go! We will interrogate Y/N why he's being a little bi-"

"Kiana, behave." Mei whacked her head, stopping her from further insulting Y/N. "We need to somehow gather information without him noticing us, or else he'll know instantly that we're trying to figure out his problem."

"Man, he's being such a woman..." Kiana said.

"The Bronya has an idea." Bronya said before bringing up her phone. "I'll get into contact with Seele."

"..."

"... So, uh, why are you following me?" Y/N stopped and asked Seele who was quietly following him.

"A-Ah... does Y/N not want me near him?" Seele asked, fidgeting with her fingers.

"N-No, I'm just asking why you're following me." Y/N sweatdropped. 

'Remember Seele, don't let him know why.' Bronya's voice echoed in her head. "A-Ano... you seemed a bit sad earlier when walking the hallways. So I just wanted to know if you're okay..."

Y/N chuckled and patted her. "Don't worry much about it, just some stuff that happened a couple of days ago." He remembered what transpired on that 'sleepover'.

"D-Do you want to talk about it?" Seele asked, grabbing Y/N's hand that was head patting her.

"I'd... rather not." Y/N answered as he retracted his hand, much to Seele's disappointment. "Well, I'll see you around, focus on school work, and don't do drugs." He began to walk away, which made Seele slightly panic as she didn't get any helpful information from him. 

'Seele, let me take over.' Veliona called out which Seele gave control. Now with her eyes red, Veliona was in control.

She quickly jogged up to Y/N and jumped on his back, startling him. "Nee Y/n~! Where are you going?"
