(Meanwhile, in the Heartslabyul Dorm's Lounge.)

Riddle: Laws of the Queen of Hearts, No. 249 states: "The one in charge of feeding the flamingos must wear pink." You were supposed to be in charge of feeding the flamingos today. Here is your pink? Why aren't you wearing it?

Heartslabyul Resident: My deepest apologies, Dorm Leader... I-It's being washed! Please, don't cut off my head!

Riddle: This makes the second time you've broken the rules. I can no longer overlook it. OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!!!

(The student screamed as the collar appeared around his neck.)

Heartslabyul Resident: Guwaaah!!

Riddle: Make a 5000-word written apology and weed the garden for a week. Then I will gladly unseal your magic.

Heartslabyul Resident: *Sob* Sob*.... That's...

Riddle: I'm not taking your head because I want to! It's because you all break the rules!? Enforcing the rules is for your own benefit. Understood? Trey. Cater. Take him outside.

Cater/Trey: ... Yes, Dorm Leader.

(Both seniors chimed together as they did as they were told. Neither one was enjoying it, it was a nightmare before but now Riddle was collaring anyone for the little things...)

(The following day after school, the group conjures up a plan to find Trey. Roxy was standing with the group in the library. It was a lengthy two-level corridor where every wall was a bookshelf filled to the brim with books. The commonly used books were levitating in the air which anyone can summon to read.)

Ace: Are you sure he's actually going to come here?

Roxy: I'm positive...

(Suddenly a familiar scent hit Roxy's nose. It was soft but sweet as the trail led straight to him.)

Roxy: (Whispers) He's here.

(Across the library there the person in question stood with a book in hand. Roxy approached him as the rest followed.)

Roxy: Clover.

(Trey jumped at the sound of her voice, he turned around and noticed the entire group.)

Trey: It's you guys...

Deuce: We figured you'd come to the library to return the cookbook for the Mont Blanc and camped out here.

Ace: We really can't agree with the way Riddle is doing things.

Trey: ... I bet.

Ace: What do you really think about him? Since you were kids have you always been so subservient to him?

Trey: Who did you hear that from?

Deuce: From a guy named Che'nya.

Trey: Che'nya... Ah, that guy.

Grim: Aren't you also older than Riddle? Just get angry at him.

Trey I'd do it if it felt necessary. But... I can't bring myself to scold him.

Ace: Why!?

Trey: Everything Riddle is was "made" by following strict rules.

Deuce: Huh...?

Trey: In his homeland there isn't a single person who hasn't heard of his parents, as Healers they're that famous. His mother is especially exceptional and she wanted Riddle to be exceptional as well. So from dawn till dusk, his every move was decided for him, down to the smallest thing, as part of his study program.
