"As I said, if you want to fly to the Sun, it will take millions of years!"

"I bet Iruma-san will make a nice spaceship for me! Right, Iruma-san!?"

"Don't draw me into your fucking dumb idea. My babies are for good things, not stupid shit!"
Shuichi sits, listening to his classmates talk about aliens and then jumps straight to Momota Kaito, who wants to fly to the freaking Sun. Shuichi likes Momota, but he can sometimes be as naive as a child.

"Hi, guys."

Yumeno enters their class, and Shuichi's eyes narrow because something is wrong with her. Usually, Yumeno just looks lazy, but today she looks tired? Yumeno's voice isn't lifeless as usual; it sounds too soft, like she's worried about something.

"Himiko-chan! What degenerate male made you sad!?"

Chabashira Tenko, being Yumeno's girlfriend, knows that her girlfriend is sad just by looking at her. Chabashira aggressively hugs Yumeno, her face scowling, clearly showing that she will punch anyone who has the guts to upset Yumeno. Shuichi gulps, he has witnessed Chabashira's martial arts; she and Harukawa can be rivals in fighting, so it's best not to upset Yumeno or any girls.

"Uhm…I don't know if Ouma-kun will agree with me saying it." Yumeno bites her lip, looking timid.

"Is it Ouma that makes Himiko-chan down!?"

Chabashira's voice echoes throughout the room, causing everyone, especially Shuichi, to notice her and Yumeno. Why does this have to do with Kokichi? Don't tell him that Kokichi went overboard to tease Yumeno yesterday. Shuichi shuts his eyes and sighs because he doesn't know if he can protect Kokichi from Chabashira.

"Not like that! Ouma-kun protected me yesterday!"

Yumeno instantly objects, pulling back Chabashira, who is about to leave the classroom to find their class president. Shuichi raises his eyebrows, hearing Yumeno's words just now. Kokichi protected Yumeno but protected from what?

"What exactly had happened, Yumeno-san?"

Shuichi asks seriously; if it's related to Kokichi, he can't ignore it. Yumeno, who entered class, showed her anxiety and hesitation. Shuichi knows something terrible must have happened. And he hopes the story Yumeno is about to tell won't be what he thought it would be.

"Nya! Saihara-kun doesn't have to be so scary; I'll tell everyone."

Yumeno starts her story. The more Shuichi hears the more his hand clenches into his flesh; his mood becomes heavier. Kokichi, to protect Yumeno and the honour of Hope’s Peak Academy, gets into a fight with a group of four guys. His Omega had to fight alone with one Alpha and three Betas. The Alpha inside Shuichi isn't pleased; it growls indignantly and wants to attack. In the morning, Shuichi had worried when he did not receive a text from Kokichi; now that he knows why.

Shuichi is angry that someone harmed his boyfriend but at the same time sad because he was not there to protect Kokichi.

The school bell rings and Kokichi still hasn't come to class. Shuichi's heart is even more worried because Kokichi's injury must be severe. Shuichi wants to leave school and go straight to Kokichi's house, which he intends to do right now. Shuichi already knows Kokichi's condition; there is no way he's in the mood to continue studying.

"Good morning minions! Today traffic is fucking horrible!"

Shuichi's eyes widen when he sees Kokichi pushing open the classroom door. His uniform wrinkles indicate the leader must have been in a hurry to get to school. Shuichi knows that Kokichi was lying about traffic because they share the same train to school, and their train hasn't been crowded since the beginning of the year.
