𝕎𝔼𝔻ℕ𝔼𝕊𝔻𝔸𝕐 arrived back at Nevermore, the stone corridors echoing with a faint sobbing sound that drew his attention. He was about to continue to his own room when the muffled cries led him to the door of Lilith and Enid's dorm. Intrigued and slightly annoyed by the disturbance, he pushed the door open to find Enid hunched over on her bed, tears streaming down her face, while Lilith sat beside her, her hand moving in soothing circles on Enid's back.
Enid looked up, her eyes red and puffy, and without hesitation, she stormed toward Wednesday. "Where have you been? I'm literally having a heart attack right now! Yoko is in the infirmary!" she sobbed, her voice trembling with anxiety.
Wednesday remained unperturbed, his expression as stoic as ever, but his gaze shifted to Lilith. "What happened?" he asked, his tone clipped.
Lilith sighed, a mix of irritation and concern flashing in her eyes as she absently scratched behind her cat Eclipse's ear. "Garlic bread incident at dinner. She had a major allergic reaction."
Enid's voice broke as she added, "Which means she's out of the Poe Cup, and I don't have a co-pilot." Her distress was palpable, a storm of emotions barely held in check.
Wednesday's eyes narrowed. "It wasn't an accident. Bianca's behind it," he said, the words laced with certainty.
Lilith's head snapped up, her eyes locking onto his with a dark intensity. Before Enid could even ask how he knew, Lilith's sinister chuckle filled the room, a sound that sent shivers down Enid's spine. The atmosphere thickened as Lilith lifted her head, her eyes clouding over with a misty, ominous gray. "I'm going to kill that damn fish," she hissed, her voice dripping with venom as she made a move for the door.
Before she could leave, Wednesday swiftly grabbed her by the waist, his grip firm and unyielding. "Doesn't matter. The three of us are going to take her down tomorrow," he declared, his voice steady and unyielding as Lilith struggled against his hold, her anger simmering just beneath the surface.
Enid, still sniffling, looked at Wednesday with wide eyes. "Wait, you're joining the Black Cats? You'd be willing to do that? For us?"
Wednesday didn't waver, his focus solely on the task at hand. "I want to humiliate Bianca so badly that the bitter taste of defeat burns in her throat," he snarled, his voice filled with a quiet rage.
Enid hesitated before she asked, "...Yeah, but mostly you're doing it because we're friends, right?"
Wednesday didn't dignify the question with an answer. Instead, he turned to Lilith, who was still bristling with barely contained fury in his arms. "Tell me how she keeps winning," he demanded.
