*KNOCK* *KNOCK*

"Yoohoo~~" "Is anyone sleeping in here??"

"I don't think that's a necessary action..!"

"You can't think as well as me since you're not even human, though! so let me do my thing!!"

*KNOCK* *KNOCK*

Suddenly, Ranmaru felt his space become much more open, and a pulling force dragged him down, and he fell neatly to the floor. He quickly jolted up on impact and rubbed his head. When he looked up, he saw 2 other boys in front of him. One was standing joyfully above him and looking down with a smirk while the other stood a little behind and looked at them worryingly.

"See? I told you there was someone else! I could hear his breathing~" The purple haired boy cheered. "See? This proves my point of how robots can never think as well as humans!"

"The level of robophobia is completely unnecessary in a situation like this..!?" The other boy retaliated.

"Jeez... you guys are loud... where am I now..?" Ranmaru asked cautiously.

"Why you're in a classroom, dear sheep-haired friend!! My name is Kokichi Ouma, the Ultimate Surpeme Leaderrr!!!" He said happily while looking up to the confused boy.

"Ultimate... hold on, another ultimate?? I've never seen another ultimate before, and also... Sheep-haired!? My hair doesn't look that much like a sheep does it??" Ranmaru finished, fiddling with his hair slightly.

"Well, it's not a lie for once!! It's all poofy and thick!! I could make a whole sweater out of your hair and have enough to make a little snowman!!" Kokichi explained.

"Sorry about him... he's been like this since he woke up, I don't know what's wrong with him." The robot apologised, walking up to Ranmaru.

"Nothing wrong with me, robot boy! You're just too much of a stupid old rusty robot to know human personalities!!" Kokichi retaliated. The other boy gasped at that and once again accused Kokichi or 'Robophobia'

"Wait, wait, wait... Robot..?" Ranmaru questioned briefly.

"Correct! My name is K1-BO, but I prefer Keebo! And if you may have guessed, I am the ultimate robot!" Keebo said formally. Ranmaru nodded and was ogling at the sight of the robot.

'Wow... he looks so real. Gee, technology sure is going haywire, huh? Making robots and AI and stuff...'

"Well, We've both reintroduced ourselves!! Now, who the hell are you, Sheepy?" Kokichi asked, looking back to Ranmaru.

"Ngh! H- hey!" Ranmaru said. He could feel himself turning red from embarrassment. "I'm Ranmaru Kageyama. Ultimate Escape Artist. Basically, I'm very good at puzzles, riddles, and escape rooms."
