Turns out that Jeffory is into anime as well. You all spoke about it for the rest of detention. It was surprisingly fun, for being a place you're forced to stay for 2 hours or so. While stepping outside with Aphmau, you notice Mari standing outside. Why is she still here? After the sound of your steps hit her ears, Mari turns towards you, her eyes narrow and arms crossed.

"Detention? Really?"

Your eyebrows draw together, forming a crease between them. How did she know about that?

Taking notice of your confused expression, she just let out a long, drawn-out sigh. "I'm a teacher's aide remember? Jeffory was talking about it earlier and I notice you walk in that direction with Aphmau."

That makes sense. "Then why are you still here? Worried for me?" Your lips curl into a smirk as you tease the girl. She waves her hands dismissively.

"No. You'd be fine. I was reprimanding some kids spray painting the school walls over there." Her head motions towards the back of the school. "It was the shadow knights. It was a pretty good ass logo, to tell the truth."

The shadow nights. You haven't heard that name in a hot minute. You're not surprised to hear about them though. You and Mari continue to talk while walking back home. If you squint your eyes, this almost reminds you of the old days, back before this happened. Getting transported into a new world that is.

You open the door to the house and are met with the fully furnished house. You're glad that it was furnished when you got here. And the layout is nice too. Downstairs you come inside the living room, with the stairs separating that and the dining area and the patio out back. Next to the dining area is the kitchen and then a garage. Upstairs is your room, a master bedroom, and a laundry area. To the left is the guest bedroom and to the right is Mari's room. There's even a loft area!

You guys have some money thanks to Irene. You also found your birth certificates and Learner's permits in your respective rooms, so you have some sort of identification. How much did Irene fadercate? And where are our parents?

You both sit down in the dining area, eating some food from a nearby small business, Chinese specifically. Mari shoves another spoonful of fried rice in her mouth as you start to speak.

"We need to go shopping this weekend. We can't keep lasting on take out."

Mari's lips curl down into a small pout. "Why?" Swallowing her food, she replies curtly.

"We don't have the funds. We need to start budgeting soon, otherwise, we won't make it by next month."

"Man," She sighs, her pink hair flowing down on her shoulders. "We probably need to get some jobs or something for some stable income. Unless Ms. Irene would like to come down to give us more funds?" Mari raises her voice a bit while staring at the ceiling.

"...."

"...."
" Unless Ms. Irene would like to give us some more funds?"

Silence.

"I guess not then...." She groans, placing her head in her hands, "We'll make a budgeting chart tonight, and finish making our socials. I had a hella awkward interaction with Teony where she asked what my InstaFlick is, and I was like "What the fuck is that?" and she laughed. She thought I was joking!"
