M/n was again, just sitting on the couch with Idia silently. It seemed like he was doing something, but he couldn't pinpoint just exactly what. The man was in an intense focus. So, to keep himself occupied, Idia started to hum softly to himself. A lullaby that he had heard from one of his video games. Ever since he had first heard it, he couldn't get it out of his head. The game devs really put the work in with that one. 

As the song continued, it brought M/n out of his trance and made him look towards his student in confusion. There was no way that wasn't Damselette's song. That woman was like a siren. Scratch that, she was. Luring people in with her song and striking at their most weakest. She had almost surpassed M/n at one time, but in the end M/n won that sickening battle. Never again did he mess with her. Eventually though, the man did speak up to Idia. 

"Shroud." He demanded the boys attention as his eyes narrowed. "Where did you hear that song?"

"Uhm...Sir..?"

"Where did you here that god forsaken song?!" Idia jumped in his place and grabbed his hair, nervously pulling at it.

"I heard it from one of my games. You seem annoyed at me again, so I'll stop if you want me too." M/n really hated that song, but it helped him in the worst of times, like this. He shook his head and leaned back on the backrest. Often times, he found himself humming it to calm his find and to focus. Shroud's singing almost had the same effect. Although he would never admit this out loud, it was the truth.

M/n quickly motioned Idia to go on with what he was doing, finding no reason why he should scare the poor introvert with his annoyance any further. Idia was thankful and just nodded quickly. Oh how he wished he had his games to keep him company instead of his professor. But there was no need to worry any further, they would be getting out soon enough.

'Wake up.' His voice sounded in my head harshly. Sometimes I wish that his thoughts weren't my own. However, now was my time to show 𝙝𝙞𝙢 that I can be more useful than all of them. Now was my time to show that I was worth his time and effort, and that I'm not just a waste of closet room.

I punch out of the glass tubing that holds me. The clear material goes everywhere as well as the liquid keeping me inside. I step down from my broken pedestal, the shards of glass cutting at my feet as I walk for what would be the first time. I get used to the feeling as my ruby red eyes scan the surprisingly large room. Wires were hanging from the ceiling and there was a table covered in what looked to be the blood of someone. I don't bother to go that way. There was no reason to. There was one thing I had to look out for. ₩ł₮₦Ɇ₴₴Ɇ₴.

I was almost to the door when suddenly I heard a whimper. One of pain and fear. Oh. That's too bad. He looks hurt. And young. Again, too bad. He will be of no need right now

'Leave him and go to us.'

"B-But I-I!"

'Go find us now. You'll be rewarded later. Lock the door.'

"Yes..sorry.." And with that, I walk away from the shaking boy and to the doors that kept him confined. I open it and some light pours through the gaps in which my shadow is not covering. Poor thing. That's going to be the last time for a while now that he gets to see light. Even if it was artificial. I gave him one final look before slamming the double doors and locking it with the hatch that was available. He'll be okay.

𝙃𝙀 won't let him die anyways...

Trey, Jack, Leona, Vil, Jade, Floyd, and Sebek. All of them managed to get past the ghost bride's guards by wooing even them with charm and now they were in the school. 

They were informed that the venue was set up in the lunch room. It was really beautiful to anyone else, but to all of them, it was just another eye sore to look at. But now they had an actual job to do. To avoid getting swarmed by press, they had to do it correctly.

Eliza stepped up to all of them rather confused. She had been informed that she had gained some new suitors, but she did not think they would arrive this quickly.

The first one up was Leona. He had a cocky air around him and his attitude was present in his speak. He was not focused on the objective, but rather beating Vil to the punch. Eliza began to sing, confusing Leona. This lead him to the first one getting frozen by Elizabeth slap.

The next one up was Vil. He serenaded with the princess beautifully, but when the question of his dog came up, he was out, as he didn't have one.

After him was Jack. He was turned down after denying that he had a sword.

Then, it was Sebek. Denied once more. Spoke about Malleus too much.

Trey took his denial lightly. It was bound to happen after he used unromantic analogies.

Next was Floyd. He was disinterested in general. But it was the desire to squeeze the poor girl into an undesired second death was what got him slapped like the others.

And that brings the last one up to bat. Jade. He was their final hope. Until Floyd opened his big mouth and he was in the same boat as the rest of them. It seemed like all was lost, until the Ghost Bride's attention was taken off of the failed suitors and put on a small kid who had opened the door to the Cafeteria. All of the boys were confused until the shorter walked up to Eliza.

"H-Hello miss...is I'm here for my papa! I heard he was in here and he gave me the special job to be your rings barer!"

"Oh how precious! But...who do you belong to?"

"M/n!"

"HUH????" The shocked noises of the seven rang out in the wedding hall. Their shock was not short lived when a familiar voice rang out.

"Oh, Zandice. Thank Archons you're here! Come over to me so I can have a proper look at you!"

Dottore's new segement, also known as Zandice, came rushing over to his "father"

"Prime! Oh...I mean...Papa! Oh how I've missed you so!"

Mouths remained wide open as the scene unfolded before them. It seemed that things just became a lot more...complicated.
