The next day was weird, to say the least. Aphmau shot out random texts to anyone who would listen (she needed to figure out the best way to apologize) while Zane stayed in his room, hours at a time, not wanting to go anywhere in case he saw the sleepover party members.
Travis was in Zane's kitchen, trying to bribe him to come down stairs with food.
"Just look at all these cupcakes! Would be a shame if I ate them all by myself," he would try, with no response from Zane. Only the closing of the fridge door made any noise throughout the house.
At Aphmau's house, things worked quite the opposite way. She was running around, as if she had things to do, occasionally bumping into one of her concerned roommates and mumbling "sorry."
Kawaii-Chan had enough, so she stuck her arm out as Aphmau was about to pass and crashed into it. Kawaii-Chan caught her before she fell down.
"Aphmau Senpai, you have to stop beating yourself up over this! Just go apologize to him, it'll make you feel better!"
Aph just shook her head and desperately tried to get away, but now Katelyn had her locked in a bear hug.
"Stop, you're kind of overreacting," she said, while Aphmau gave up struggling and slumped back instead.
"I can't, not yet," she said, but Kawaii-Chan "tsk-tsked" at her and replied, "Come on! We'll all go apologize together. It can't be that hard!"
A quiet knock at his front door snapped Zane out of his moping. Oh no, was that Aphmau?
He heard Travis open said door and exchange a quick greeting, then calling for Zane to come down.
He had a sick feeling in his stomach as he unlocked the door to his bedroom and made the slow descend down the stairs, making eye contact with Katelyn for a split second.
"Zane," Aphmau said, voice shaking, "I'm sorry for being the worst friend in the history of friends. I shouldn't have told everyone about you two, I shouldn't have shut the door-"
Zane cut her off with a hug and muffled sob into her shoulder, Aphmau bursting out in tears not long after.
"We should probably give them some time," Travis said, grinning at Kawaii-Chan and Katelyn.
"Wanna play Candy Land?"
"Kawaii-Chan's favorite game? Of course!"
And so, while the two best friends cried and exchanged apologies, Kawaii-Chan, Travis, and Katelyn sat on the floor and played the childish board game.
