CHAPTER 3-1: The Student Council

3RD PERSON POV:

TW: SLIGHT MENTIONS OF NUDITY

"..mmmh.. OW.." escaped Ranmaru's mouth as he rubbed his head. He was a mess when he sat up. Clumpy, staticky hair with gel in it, drool seeping from his mouth, and just generally looked like he had just come back from the dead.

'That fucking bitch..  what happened last night?' He thought. He had a few pieces from last night, the pool, kirumi, and... him, the end of the trial, and that's it. He slowly sat upright and looked around. His eyes immediately landed on the clock, which read '07:23AM'

Letting out a groan, he slowly sat up. When he trudged around his room, there were a few new items on his coffee table. The first was his Monopad, still with its cracked screen. Last he remembered, he had left that in the game room after throwing it.... so how did it get here? Stuck to the corner seemed to be a large, bright pink post-it note. When he pulled it off, he quickly examined the writing on the front.

"Hey~! Firstly, Angie has a very important message for you, so make sure to keep an eye out! Second, tell me who this ginger is on your video. Lastly, please try to find a way to bring me out without hitting your head!

Signed, your better personality!"

Ranmaru let out a groan, quickly dropping the note onto the table. He was already being a pain when he was in control, so why is he still being a nuisance when he WASNT here? It was what Ranmaru was thinking. He didn't focus on it, though, quickly trudging over to the bathroom. He quickly threw his clothes onto his bed before entering, letting the cold air relax his tense and sore body as he readied his towels. As he showered, the hot water hit his body with heavy power, which eased Ranmaru. For once, he wasn't tense. He'd felt this aggravating tension under his skin since the tunnel 'adventure'. But now, he was at ease. He was alone, and that seemed to be why he was calm.

Maybe... the others have been the causes of his problems this entire time??

As his relaxing alone time in the shower ended, he quickly stepped out and began drying his body and hair. Once he was near finished, he looked in the mirror and saw something. A smile. Believe it or not, he hadn't smiled since Shuichi talked to him after the first trial.

Oh yeah, how was he going to talk to Shuichi..? Surely he wouldn't want to deal with Ranmaru after the trial. Surely, his other half had done something, right?

'Whatever... I'll find him and just be as honest as I can. Then, he'll hopefully forgive me and still like me, right?' Ranmaru thought to himself. Eventually, he tied a loose towel around his pelvis and headed out to his bed to get h-

"Why, hello!!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!"

On instinct, Ranmaru jumped back, essentially crashing back into the bathroom door as the sight of Angie in his dorm scared him to death. Sadly... she wasn't the only view in the room

"Oh my! Quite the welcome, indeed! Although.. maybe not so appropriate." Ranmaru nearly felt his body collapse on itself as he stood there frozen against the door, too shaken to pick up the fallen towel or even cover his... member.
