"Kh!" You whimper. "Ah, are you okay? What's wrong?" Shuichi asks with concern. "Oh, I'm fine.. Just got a headache... that's all." "...It can't be a coincidence that we both don't remember. What happened to us?" Shuichi wonders. "I-I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. Probably not a big deal. We're confused. We just need to relax, is all. Oh! Let's imagine like we're mediums, or like one of those fortune teller things!" you reassure Shuichi. "Oh.. uhm. I don't really know how those work." "I see.. That's unfortunate. Hmm.. Once we get out, I can show you!" you smile. "But first, let's look for a way out! At least one of them has got to know something." you smile brighter while pumping your fists in the air together.

"Yeah.. Good idea." Shuichi agrees.

Y/N'S P.O.V

  The pair explored the seemingly abandoned school. "Pretty dirty in here to be a school, huh?" you mention. "Yeah, I guess." Shuichi replies while pulling on the bill of his hat. "I wonder where the other Ultimates are."

  The pair explored the seemingly abandoned school, finding fourteen confused students standing around in worry.

  "Hey Shuichi, let's go introduce ourselves to the other Ultimates here!" You whispered in a excited tone. "Uh, sure.. Why not?" Shuichi whispers back. The two walk around around noticing all the other students investigating the area while introducing each other. You eventually see a girl with long blue locks, staring at the ground blankly while seeming to be in deep thought. "I don't think we should bother her.." Shuichi whispers. "Nah, I think she's just as confused as us." You reply back.

  Eventually, you walk up behind her and tap her on the the shoulder. She doesn't seem to respond to the contact. "Umm.." The girl ponders. "Hey, you're an Ultimate student, right? Can we talk—" The girl still didn't seem like she was mentally there. 'Hm? Did she not here me? Okay then..' 'I think she's trying to ignore you.' The voice in your head answers. 'Huh? Who was that?' You ponder. "Heyyy! Hellooo!" You slightly raise your voice. No answer. "What? She still can't hear me? Maybe she's a really detailed mannequin?" You question. "...No, I don't think that's the case.." Shuichi answers, causing you to flinch back into him because of how quiet he was. "You never know. We already saw a moving teddy bear." You reply back in a little frustration. As you said that, I poked her cheek.. and felt her skin squish beneath my fingertip. "Umm.." The girl still ponders. "Poking her cheek doesn't work either? Then... maybe she's just a doll. But she looks so real! Try it, Shuichi! Poke, poke!" You anxiously ask. "Ah, no thanks.." he replies. "Just do it! It's so fun!" As I grab his hand to make him poke her other cheek...

  "I never thought I'd be poked from both sides. How truly unexpected." The girl questions. "Ah!" Shuichi gasps while holding onto you. "So she wasn't a mannequin. Well, I knew that." You smirk confidently. "If you knew that, why did you make me poke her?" Shuichi worries while holding onto your arm tighter. "Because she wasn't responding." "Oh, I didn't mean any harm... I was just in deep thought. So I thought if I ignored you, you'd go somewhere else." The girl calmly replies. "You were ignoring us? Isn't that a bit rude?" You ask. "Umm, well isn't it rude to force someone to talk when they don't want to? Oh, but it's fine. I feel like talking now. Now, let's talk. What do you want to start with? My favorite Doraemon episode is #53 The one with security cameras and target practice." The girl sparkles while getting a little close to your personal bubble, I mean, Shuichi already broke it since he's still grabbing onto you.

  "Um, before you talk about that.. Can you tell us your name?" You reply, shyly. "Oh, my name is Tsumugi Shirogane. I'm the Ultimate Cosplayer." "So you're.... a cosplayer." Shuichi supposes. "Are you... surprised? I get that a lot, since I'm so plain." Tsumugi sweat drops. "I see." You answer. "I just like making cosplay. I'm fine with others wearing them. But lately, more cosplayers are putting themselves before their characters. I'd rather wear my outfits myself, with love, than give them to people like that." Tsumugi rants. "Wow.. you're pretty intense." You ponder. "It makes me happy when I get to show people the outfits I made. And thanks to my sponsors, I can use materials that are just plain expensive." Tsumugi smiles. "Ohhh! Well, of course the Ultimate Cosplayer would have sponsors!" You answer. "It's not a big deal. People just crowd around like I'm a panda at the zoo." Tsumugi humbly replies. "That's so amazing.. You're pretty much a celebrity, you know?" You compliment. "Ah, is it alright if I ask you something too? Earlier.. you looked as if you were thinking hard about something. What was it?" Shuichi asks. "Oh, yeah! We needed to ask her that! Nice job, Shuichi!" You agree.

  "Ah.. that bronze dragon statue over there. I'm just plain curious about it. It almost seems like it's floating, right? Doesn't it look pretty out of place?" Tsumugi questions. "Now that you mention it.. you're right. It sorta bothers me too." You agree while staring at the stature. "There's trees and grass growing inside, I can't find any exits... And it seems like we're the only people here.. Are we going to be okay? Are we going to be able to get out?" You don't seem to answer, being lost in a train of thought. "Y/N? What's wrong?" Shuichi worries. "Oh.. it's nothing. Our present situation is our main concern. Once it's over, we'll be good and dandy." You happily answer. "You're pretty... optimistic, Y/N." Tsumugi compliments. "Well, people do say I'm carefree. Worrying won't get you anywhere, you know. It's better to be carefree." You confidently reply. "Yeah.. I guess so. Being all depressed won't help anything." Tsumugi agrees. "Yeah. So, let's try to find a way out." You answer.

  "By the way, Tsumugi. Can I ask for a favor?" You ask. "Sure, what is it?" She answers. "Can you maybe.. um.. Make a new skirt for me? This one is a little short." You say while trying to pull it down. Tsumugi notices the color of your underwear peeking though and blindly says, "Pink is a cute color on you." Making you and Shuichi blush like crazy.
