Ortho and Idia set up a small bed for you to sit in. Ortho grabbed some medical gauze, cut it very thin, and dressed your wound. The ankle hurt when he touched it, but you didn't flinch. He then flew off to go grab something from outside the room.

Idia turned you around a few times. "You're bruised and cold. What happened?"

You looked down. "The other dorm heads have been chasing me around. I haven't slept properly, I barely ate, and my body hurts all over. My brain feels scrambled from all the shaking that happens when you big people walk. I've had too many changes of clothes that my uniform is missing."

Idia looked at you, picked you up, and set you down on his shoulder. You felt warm being near his hair, which was soft. The tips flickered like little flames as Idia looked at his computer.

"Stay there so you can be warm. Also, I'll make you some clothes... that dress looks cringe."

You nodded in agreement. "Vil-senpai has awful taste. I agree; it's really cringe."

Idia looked at you and back at his game. "Do you... game, by any chance?"

You nodded. "I haven't played much since I came to NRC, but yea!"

Idia reached to grab a small controller model and gave it to you. He flicked a little switch on it, powering the toy up.

"It's a prototype, cause I haven't fully worked out the buttons, but it should work. Let's play together."

You smiled at him, bundling yourself under more of his hair. With that, the two of you began to play the game on the monitor.

"I'm back! {Y/N}, I brought food!" Ortho flew back into the room and placed a tray on the table. You and Idia paused the game so you could eat. He put you down, and you picked a piece of chicken off the chicken sandwich.

"Mmm... thank goodness. That's a relief," you said through a mouthful of food.

"Oh; I have to mention this! Jamil Viper and Kalim Al-Asim were looking for you! I haven't talked to them yet, but I will send them a message stating you are alright."

You paused. Kalim and Jamil were worried about you. You missed being in Scarabia dearly; the good smells, the open skies, the lounge, all of it.

"Wait, a message? Ortho, stop-!"

"Sent! It was a direct message to Kalim."

Idia looked at his little brother and then at the message on a holographic screen. "Ortho... this says, "TO KALIM AL-ASIM AND VIL SCHOENHEIT". Ortho, you sent this to Vil-shi on accident."

"What?!" You and Ortho shouted.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no... Vil's coming... what am I gonna do?!" You panicked. You began to hyperventilate; the dorm leaders were going to come for you soon. No one was able to help you now.

"Do not panic! I can delete it—!"

A message bleeped on Idia's phone. He pulled it out and saw it was a message from Vil.

Hello, Idia-kun,

Did you have a good time with {Y/N}? We should hope so. But now, unfortunately, we will be coming for them. Please, leave the door unlocked, or we will treat you like we have their accomplices.

"A-accomplices?" You asked. Idia scrolled down and kept reading.

You may be wondering, "What accomplices?" Well, we currently have Ace Trappola, Deuce Spade, Jack Howl, Epel Felmier, and Grim with us. If you want them to remain safe, you will leave the door open so we can obtain the prefect.

From,
Vil Schoenheit.

"Oh no..." you whispered. Ace, Deuce, Jack, Epel, and Grim were being held by the dorm heads. You felt terrible; your friends were paying the price for your actions.

No... nows not the time to feel sorry. I have to do something!

"Idia-senpai, Ortho-kun, I have a plan. I'm gonna need some help though."

BAM! BAM! BAM!

"Open up, ya gloomy bastard!" Leona yelled. He pounded his fist against the door to Idia's room as the others watched.

"You won't get 'em!" Ace shouted.

"Ugh, shut up! Don't make me squeeze ya tighter!" Floyd complained.

"Prefect needs help, and you guys aren't helping them!" Deuce yelled. "You've only scared them!"

"Be quiet!" Riddle yelled back. He kicked Deuce in the side and looked at the door.

"Perhaps one threat wasn't enough," Azul said. "Floyd, Jade, tighten their ropes."

The four hostages yelled in pain. Epel and Jack looked at each other with a worried expression.

"I hope prefect has a plan," Jack growled.

Epel nodded. "This goose chase has gone on long enough."

"ALRIGHT! I'M TURNING THIS DOOR TO SAND!!"

Idia shoved the last of his games into his drawers and pushed his computer back. He cleaned up the clothes on the floor, straightened his anime figures, and made his bed.

"KING'S ROAR!"

The door to Idia's room suddenly disintegrated. The golden sand blew away, and the dorm leaders entered the room.

"Greetings, Idia-san. I do hope we're not interrupting something," Azul said with a fake smile.

"W-what d-d-do you want?" Idia stammered.

Crud! It's Riddle Rosehearts, an SSR-tier character followed by Leona Kingscholar! His stats are off the charts. Azul and his minions are here, which all of them are turbo sus! And then Vil-shi... oh no, this is bad.

Leona grabbed Idia by the collar of his jacket. "Where. Are. They."

Idia began to sweat. "I-I dunno... they're n-not here, t-t-though!"

"Oh really?" Riddle asked. He snapped his fingers, and Leona pushed Idia to the floor.

"Where are they? I'm not askin' again."

Idia took a nervous gulp. "N-now! PREFECT!"

From above, Ortho flew down from the roof and quickly rocketed past them all. The dorm leaders ducked and turned.

"What?!" Vil asked, outraged.

"See ya suckers!" You yelled, laughing. Ortho flew down the stairs and out towards the exit.

"GO PREFECT!!" The first years yelled. You waved to them as Ortho began to approach the mirror to NRC.

"Ready, prefect?"

"Always!" You replied.

Ortho held you tight and flew into the mirror. He turned off his thrusters and floated a few inches off the ground.

"Diasomnia is in that mirror right there! Please, be very careful. I wish you the best of luck!"

"Thank you, Ortho!" You exclaimed. You hugged him, and he hugged you back. He put you down on the ground and waved.

You turned to the Diasomnia mirror and readied yourself to go in.

"I'm coming, Tsunotaro! I'm on my way!"
