A Tsundere's affection

A new friend

Byakuya cracked open his door, only to have Makoto push it the rest of the way. In the hallway they were met with a babbling pale Hina that was ringing everyone's doorbell.

Makoto rushed over to her, "Hina what is it? Is someone dead?" his hands were trembling. That couldn't be what was happening right? They had been doing so well. They had made it past the secrets motive, it couldn't be right?

Hina shook her head, "No no but there's something in the shower room I-I don't know."

Chihiro came over to them and shooshed Hina, "Hina I put that there. We can't talk about it here." He said as he nodded to the camera.

By this point the others had come out of their rooms to see what was happening, "Why don't we just go 'investigate' what Hina saw" Chihiro said looking at the others.

The group made their way to the room and gathered around the locker as Chihiro took out the laptop and set it on the bench, "This is alter ego. I made it."

The laptop lit up and a image of Chihiro's head popped up on screen, "Hello master, would you like a report on the scan?"

Hifumi chuckled from behind Chihiro, "Master? Do you have a complex or something?"

A blush crossed Chihiro's face as he chose to ignore his words, "run the report."

The screen brought up a list of programs and decoded documents that scrolled past before Alter Ego popped back up, "I am 55% done with the scan."

"Good keep running it" Chihiro stood up and turned to the others, "So um I found this laptop in the library and I thought I might be able to use it to get us out of here."

Kyoko leaned forward and looked at the small icon, "So does it only scan computers."

Chihiro smiled and shook his head, "Ah no it can imitate an actual person. It's a large AI."

Hifumi's breathing became labored as he looked at the screen, "So it's like a 2d girlfriend?"

Chihiro paled and put up his hands muttering a small "uhm no" before Taka cut him off, "Hifumi you cannot use Chihiro's program for your perverse wishes."

Hifumi puffed up, "I am not perverse. I just was thinking-"

Kyoko interrupted him, "whatever you're thinking you can stop. We're going to limit how much we're going in and out of this room. Alter Ego may just be our best chance out of here, constant contact with it may cause discovery."

When she finished a chorus of yups and mhms came from the others, exept Hifumi who only wined about wasting a perfectly good opportunity.

After that everyone headed back to their rooms, and Makoto tried to follow Byakuya, until he stopped him, "I thought we were hanging out?" Makoto said slightly deflating

Byakuya crossed his arms leveling his gaze at Makoto, "We did. Now I want to go to bed. Don't become a nuisance like Toko."

Makoto nodded sadly as he headed to his own room. Well at least he didn't say never to hang out with him, so that wasn't a complete failure
