It was supposed to be any other quiet night.

Well... Supposed to.

But with the pleasure district under fire, the air thick with smoke, and the entire place burning, everything became something else entirely. Screams clashed with the crackle of fire, shadows ran across the walls, and the scent of ash made it hard to breathe.

And no, it wasn't Alya and the Astrea Familia. Well... It wasn't only them, anyway.

By the time Alya found him, Bell stood frozen in the chaos. The boy looked dazed, his crimson eyes distant, as if he weren't really there. His arms were wrapped protectively around a blonde renard, her small frame trembling against his chest.

Alya: Bell! Are you alright?!

She rushed to his side without hesitation, her hands quickly checking over his arms and shoulders as if expecting the worst.

Bell: A-Alya-nee? I-I yes, I'm fine. W-What are you doing here?

Alya: That doesn't matter right now. Can you stand? Do you need me to carry you?

Bell: I-I'm fine. Really.

He pushed himself up slowly, unsteady at first, the blonde renard following his movement with quiet determination, still clinging to his sleeve. Alya's eyes softened as she watched the two of them, relief, worry, and pride all colliding in her chest.

In the end, she simply reached out and placed her hand gently on his head.

Alya: *Smile* I'm just glad you're safe.

Having a little brother was proving to be far more difficult than Alya ever thought possible.

Why, you ask?

Well... Aside from the endless trouble Bell always managed to get dragged into, there was another problem.

Half her friends were in love with him.

Yes. In love. With her brother. And worse, they weren't even subtle about it.

Alya already had a feeling about it before. Ryu had even confessed to it outright. But now, experiencing the aftermath of it all was... Annoying.

Very, very annoying.

Alise: *Smile*  Say, Alya! I did all my work so diligently today! Wouldn't you say I'm dependable?

Suspicious. Very suspicious.

Alya: *Narrowed eyes* Yes...

Kaguya: Alya, I already finished my tasks. And yours too. You don't have to worry about a thing.

Alya: *Smile*  Really-

She froze mid-sentence, her gaze flicking between Alise and Kaguya.

Alya: *They're trying to butter me up, aren't they...?*
