"I'm getting hungry again..." Y/n pouted, her hands resting on the table as her stomach gave an audible grumble.
"Of course you are, mon lapine," Vanitas sighed dramatically, pinching her cheeks until she squeaked. "You're hopeless."
"Vanitas~ stop..." she whined, puffing her cheeks.

Riddle only smiled coolly, feigning innocence. "We're finally making progress," he said, grinning mischievously at Vanitas's growing irritation.
Trein's voice came through clearly from outside. "Mmhm. Having supplies brought in through a specific window is another part of the Princess in the Tower.

"Yeah. Thanks to you opening that window, we won't have to worry about food." Deuce said, visibly relieved.
"And Y/n wouldn't have to drink Vanitas's blood. This is such excellent news. The best news I've heard all day," Isfrid's voice came from outside one of the closest windows, practically gleaming with satisfaction.
He was grinning ear-to-ear, much too proud of himself. Beside him, Noé stood with a blank, unimpressed expression, hands tucked into his pockets.
