"Mitsuya?" Kana's voice echoed through the door as she peeked her head into the sewing club's room at Mizo High.

Kana, with a bandage still on her nose from the previous day's clash with Kiyomasa's group, stood unfazed, treating it as nothing more than a scratch. The team postponed their bowling outing, prioritizing the girls' health, with plans to reschedule, so they'd have to hit the lanes another day. This left Hakkai feeling a bit bummed out—he was really psyched to go bowling.

Mitsuya snapped his head up and looking towards the door with a warm smile as he saw Kana poke her head through the doorway. "Hey, Kana."

Kana caught Mitsuya's gaze, her eyes lighting up as she spotted him hunched over a sewing machine. She matched his smile with a warm, welcoming one of her own and walked over to him. "You told me to
meet you here?" she asked with a hint of curiosity in her voice.

The hum of the sewing machine resonated in the room while he focused intently on the fabric, cautious to avoid any slip-ups or pricking his finger. "Yeah, I just wanted to double-check something for you," he replied, not lifting his eyes from his careful work.

Kana's gaze landed on the array of fabrics neatly arranged beside the sewing machine, her eyes tracing each piece with growing realization. A small grin tugged at the corners of her lips as she connected the dots. "I should've known," she mused, her voice filled with excitement. "These uniforms are for me and Yuzuha, right?"

"Yup. I couldn't let you and Yuzuha go without your own uniforms, especially on your first day as Toman members," he replied with a wide grin.

"So these are the uniforms that you wanted to double-check with me?" Kana asked, sounding almost surprised that Mitsuya had actually put so much thought into making a uniform specifically catered for her and Yuzuha in such a short notice.

Mitsuya nodded, the steady hum of the sewing machine quieting down as he drew out the fabric, biting off the dangling thread with his teeth. "I thought it'd make sense to tailor a uniform for you and Yuzuha. You know, so you'd feel at ease and fit in, being Toman's first female members and all."

"And they'll suit you two a lot better than the regular uniforms would..." Mitsuya continued, the grin on his face becoming even wider as he finished up the last part of his sentence. "After all, normal male uniforms are designed with the thought that the wearer is a male... and they're not exactly the most fitting for a female body."

"So you made sure to design the uniforms to fit our figures?" Kana asked with a smile.

"Yeah, I kept that in mind when I was designing both of the uniforms." Mitsuya answered with a nod, his tone sounding quite sure of himself as he confirmed that he had made sure to pay attention to the shape of a female body when making the uniforms.

"Did you seriously pull this off all in one night?" she asked, her voice a mix of awe and surprise, as she watched Mitsuya inspect each uniform piece for flaws with an appreciative eye.

"Yeah, I spent all night designing these..." Mitsuya responded, his tone sounding slightly proud of himself as he spoke about the impressive feat that he had just accomplished. "I got to school early this morning and started working on the uniforms as soon as those doors opened."

"You really went all-out with these uniforms." Kana said with a smile, her tone sounding impressed as she looked over the uniforms that Mitsuya had crafted for herself and Yuzuha. "I think they look great."

"I'm glad you like them... they took a lot of effort to make, but I'm glad it all paid off in the end." Mitsuya said with a smile, still refusing to lift his gaze from the uniforms as he spoke, seemingly completely focused on the details that could potentially result in any minor imperfections.
