Quickly walking through the BrightCastle the duo find themselves standing in the short hallway containing the cohort's three rooms.
Wyatt then instructs Kai to stay out of view and keep perfectly silent. The glamorous idol agrees and get a few meters behind him, standing just outside the poorly lit hallway.
As a masked figure stands outside of Cassie's door, he knocks to grab blind girls attention.
"Cassie, can you come out please?"
"Okay." She responds not long after.
Wyatt chooses this moment to take of his disguise, revealing a soft pale face, with humorous sparks dancing in his eyes.
As she walks out the door, she's excited to see him again considering he left for so long earlier.
"What is it Wyatt?"
"Can we talk to Nephis for a second, I want to show her something."
Despite his kind voice, Kai can't help but be worried. Although if he saw the maniacal grin plastered on Wyatt's face he would've probably ran out to try to save the poor girl from whatever cruel fate she might meet.
Nephis' room is merely a few steps from Cassie's so it takes little effort to knock on her door and ask her to open it.
"What's wrong?" Nephis asks. She takes notice of Wyatt's facial expressions and is unnerved.
At this point Wyatt decides to reveal Kai as he motions the archer to come over.
Timidly, Kai then speaks to the girls.
"Hello, h-how might you be doing today."
Nephis goes completely pale and is stricken with horror. For a few seconds, one could hear a pin drop.
Cassie then laughs off the silence with an almost dreamy smile on her face.
"Hey, for a second I thought Night from Nightingale was talking to me. Wouldn't that have been something?"
"Wyatt, what are you doing wi-with HIM?!" Nephis asks, pale and completely star struck.
Kai is feeling slightly braver now that he isn't fearing for his life quite as much, so he takes the opportunity to state his own concerns.
"I would also like to know that."
Cassie realizes just who is in front of her at this point and starts gasping like a fish.
Wyatt soaks up all the attention like a sponge as he pouts with fake-hurt in his tone.
"To answer your question my friend, it's because those two forgot my birthday and I needed revenge. It truly hurts me to see my other friends like this but it must be done."
Kai then gives a side long glance at Wyatt.
"If you're so hurt, then why are you smiling like that?"
Sure enough, the maniacal grin never left his face.
"Everyone deals with grief in their own way."
"why do I even bother" Kai mumbled under his breath.
Nephis then speaks up. "Wait, it's your birthday today?"
"I rest my case Kai."
Cassie is equally curious. "How old are you turning?"
"Oh I'm seventeen now." Wyatt answers enthusiastically, if not a bit sad that his elaborate prank only garnered a few seconds of shock.
"Congratulations."
"Thank you."
Nephis chooses to chime in with her own passive-aggressive praises.
"Yes, congratulations on surviving more than a few days in the Dream Realm with the kind of indolent attitude you brought in."
