Caught in a web of lies, Mayuri finds herself becoming the victim and suffering at the hands of her peers. She sees the outer world just within her reach in the sky above, but she finds herself trapped in the shrinking confines of her mind where the...

I had a stack of pastry boxes in my arms as I balanced them as I headed over down the familiar path to a familiar door and twisted the knob only to open the door and what was on the other side surprised me. The new French foreigner student whose name I cannot remember was chasing Mori who was carrying a sobbing Honey in his arms. Tamaki was being depressed in the corner. Haruhi was eating a cookie while Hikaru bit the cookie in half and Kaoru licked the crumbs off Haruhi's cheek. Tamaki, upon seeing this began to freak out and scream at the twins while Haruhi brushed the incident nonchalantly while Tamaki began to freak out at Haruhi's reponse. I stood there, balancing the stack of boxes with one arm as my eyebrow twitched with confusion but I quickly blinked away the stray emotion and regained my emotionless, stiff face.
Kyoya noticed me and approached me. "Mayuri, what are you doing here?" He asked me.
"Oh, Senpai!" I turned to face him, still keeping the pastry boxes balanced in my hand. "I brought the pastries you ordered for the club meeting. If you pardon me asking, but did you postpone the meeting? Because I came here on time and the club isn't in session."
"Oh, we cancelled club today at the last minute. There was a note outside our club room door that let our guests know about the cancellation."
"You didn't cancel the orders through..."
"My apologies. During the duration we had between then and now at least I should have left a message cancelling today's orders. If you like, we'll pay extra since you weren't aware of the cancellation and still had to make these--"
"Oh no! It's fine! I won't charge you extra or anything. I-I'll just set them here on the coffee table so you all can eat them..."
As I set the pastry boxes onto the table and opened them up, displaying the desserts, the new student stopped chasing Mori and Honey around when she spotted me. "And you!" She shrieked. "Who are you?"
"I apologize for intruding," I stood up and cutsied. "I am Mayuri Izumi. I am not a client of this club, but rather I provide the desserts for the club. I'm just a nobody, actually."
"So polite!" I heard the girl squeal under her breath before turning back to me and gave me a calm smile. "I am Renge Houshakuji. I believe I transferred into your Class 1-A today. Oh, and nice earrings by the way."
"Oh, thank you," I flushed as I delicately touched my silver angel wing earrings with my hand, her name finally clicked in my head as I remembered her from class today. I scanned Renge. She had big brown eyes with dirty-blonde hair and a pink ribbon headband on her head. "Ah, yes, you're the self-proclaimed club manager, are you not? If you pardon me asking, but can you explain to me what's going on?"
"This club needs fixing!" She proclaimed. "Everyone here, except Kyoya, has something wrong with them! I just can't point at what it is yet..."
She placed a finger under her chin and began to ponder. Honey approached her with a pink ceramic cub with a pastel pink bunny design on it and offered it to Renge. "Want some milk?" He asked.
