The recent events had brought a sense of resolution to the Pandora Box crisis. Hotaru, now safely cured with the antidote retrieved by Misaki and the others, was on her way to a full recovery. As for Inchou, his stolen Alice stones were unexpectedly returned by Z, who had left them in Narumi's care. The looming threat had been quelled, and their mission had seen a measure of success.

However, amidst this temporary respite, there was another plot unfolding in the shadows.

A masked figure, known as Persona, stood before the enigmatic Principal, who was known for his strict governance of the elementary department of the academy. The Principal, with a stern expression on his face, spoke ominously, " Ashikaga Misaki and Hyuuga Natsume... Both got out of hand, and now Narumi sensei too."

Persona, standing before the Principal, reported the current situation with a hint of trepidation. " In terms of Ashikaga and Hyuuga, I have not been careful in my supervision," he confessed, acknowledging the failure to prevent their recent actions.

The Principal clenched his fists as he listened to Persona's account. His two favorite students had strayed beyond the bounds of his control, and the consequences were yet to be determined. " Both need to be threatened and forced into obedience," the Principal declared firmly. The tension in the room was palpable as they pondered their next moves.

Back in the dormitory, Misaki, fresh from her bath, had just finished changing into her uniform. Her wet hair clung to her shoulders as she took a moment to unwind, a rare opportunity amidst the chaos. Unlike her friends, who had gone to check on Hotaru, Misaki had decided to stay behind. However, Mikan had promised to return to her later that night.

Lying on her bed, Misaki stared at the ceiling, her thoughts racing. The recent events had been intense, and she found herself in need of a moment to collect her thoughts. She let out a heavy sigh, her eyes closed as she allowed the weight of the day to wash over her.

A voice suddenly interrupted her reverie, and Misaki shot up in surprise. " It isn't good to lie down with your hair wet," the voice admonished. Misaki's eyes darted around the room, searching for its source.

" Geez, Natsume," Misaki sighed, recognizing her visitor. Her friend and fellow student, Hyuuga Natsume, had appeared seemingly out of thin air. He had opened the window while Misaki had been lost in thought.

Misaki peered at Natsume, who was perched by the open window. " Weren't you with Mikan and the others?" she inquired, her curiosity piqued.

" Went back as soon as I saw her," Natsume replied, his tone betraying a hint of boredom as he observed Misaki.

Misaki focused on her disheveled hair, her gaze lingering on it. " How's Hotaru? You should've stayed longer with them," she remarked, fidgeting with a strand of her damp hair. The desire to have shorter hair had crossed her mind more than once.

Natsume's response was nonchalant as he shrugged his shoulders. " She recovered, it's boring. All they do is cry, nothing much," he summarized, his disinterest in the emotional display apparent.

However, his demeanor shifted as he initiated a more serious conversation. " Back then, I told you not to use your Alice. I saw what you did," he reminded her. Misaki could see the seriousness in his eyes.

Misaki's response was immediate, and a hint of panic crept into her voice. " It was an emergency. If I didn't help, all of you would've been severely injured or worse," she explained, defending her actions.

Natsume, however, was unrelenting as he scrutinized Misaki. " I didn't mean to use it, I swear," she said, her voice trembling with worry. Her confession revealed the complexities of her Alice.
