Scene: Night Raid Headquarters, the air thick with tension. Chelsea has just returned, her cat form still lingering in the back of her mind. The group is gathered, ready to debrief.

Chelsea: "You guys missed a wild party out there. I played the part of a cat, and it was pawsitively amazing!"

Mine: "Seriously, Chelsea? You turned into a cat to hide? What if they saw you?"

Chelsea: "Oh, please! They were too busy looking for someone more... interesting than a fluffy little thing like me."

F/n: "You think being a cat is safer? You could've just warned us, you know!"

Chelsea: "And miss all the fun? No way! Besides, I figured you'd all have my back... or were you too busy babysitting?"

Mine: "Babysitting?! I was on lookout! Unlike some people who play hide and seek like a coward!"

Mine lunges at Chelsea, who darts away with a mischievous laugh.

Chelsea: "Catch me if you can, babysitter!"

Akame watches with an amused expression.

Akame: "You two should focus. The Jägers are definitely after us now. They're not the type to play nice."

Leone: "Maybe F/n can charm them with his dazzling personality. 'Hey, Jägers, want to take a vacation with us?'"

F/n: "Ha! Like I'd ever want to party with those psychos. I'd rather be in the trenches with you guys."

Lubbock, pouring coffee, raises an eyebrow.

Lubbock: "Hey, F/n, if you get captured, just say you left Esdeath a love letter or something. Should buy you some time."

F/n: "Love letter? What am I, a romance novelist? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."

Najenda strides in, a serious expression on her face.

Najenda: "Enough chatter. We have to formulate a real plan. The Jägers are hunting us like we're prey. We can't just rely on luck."

Chelsea: "So, no more cat antics, huh? You guys are such buzzkills!"

Mine: "This is serious, Chelsea! Lives are on the line!"

F/n: "Yeah, like yours if you don't stop provoking her! Focus on the mission!"

Lubbock chuckles, mixing in sugar with a devilish grin.

Lubbock: "If you ask me, we should lure them in with a trap. Something flashy to catch their attention."

Akame: "That could work. But we need to ensure everyone is prepared. No mistakes."

Leone: "What if we create a distraction? You know, a little fireworks show to make them dance while we sneak in?"

F/n: "Or we can get all of us involved. Split them up and hit them when they least expect it."

Najenda nods, the wheels in her head turning.

Najenda: "Alright, let's break down our roles. Chelsea, you'll be our eyes and ears. Use that cat form to gather intel."

Chelsea: "You got it! I'll be the sneakiest cat you've ever seen."

Mine: "And I'll—"

F/n: "And you'll keep your head down, right, Mine? Just like always?"

Mine: "Shut up, F/n! I'm not the one turning into a cat for cover!"

Everyone laughs, tension breaking a little.

Najenda: "Focus! Tomorrow we go into action. Get your gear ready. We need every advantage we can get."
