As you chuckled at Scaramouche's frustrated expression, almost to the point of where you could clearly envision the angered steam rolling out of his ears, you decided to avoid pressing his buttons any further and finally read the letter that Ei had sent you.

-

Dear Y/n,

I hope this letter finds you well, I had heard about what happened at school and although I understand that I am not at fault I'd like to apologize for what you have gone through. Your mother was a sick woman who desired nothing more than to be wealthy and reclaim her fortune, using you to do so. I'm sure you were confused and scared on that day but worry not, she won't bother you anymore. I will make sure of it.

I was unable to speak with you directly, and your foster home residents stated that you were in no mood to talk to anyone. So, I am writing this letter and entrusting it off to my son, Scaramouche, to deliver to you. He had told me you two were in the same class working on a project together with your friend Fischl. I of course could have texted or called but this seemed more appropriate.

I am here to support you Y/n, so please contact me if there's anything you want or need. My offer for information remains open. I also believe I have new information on your sibling, Yoimiya.

With love,

Raiden Ei

P.S. Yae Miko says hello

Scaramouche raised a brow as you smiled fondly at the letter.  and, with an abrupt cough, he interrupted the process of you soaking up the words that were elegantly handwritten on the letter.

"whatd that old hag say?"

"It's nothing that concerns you that's for sure. " You blankly stated tugging under your eye and sticking out your tongue. The purple-haired boy scrunched up his face in disgust at your action, but you paid it no mind.

You decided that you would call Ei tomorrow, solely to ask about your sister. You wanted nothing more to do with your mother, especially not after you relived all the traumatic memories of the harm she did to you. Everything she said tore you to pieces, slowly eating at your heart. You were determined to get back in contact with Yoimiya, as she was the only person in that house who cared about you and tried to help, other than your father, who you later found out that your mother had planned for his death.

You knew that one of the reasons behind her plotting was that she believed she would've received his money after his death.

oh how she was wrong

Everything valuable he had owned was passed down to you and Yoimiya, according to his written and signed will. Your mother, of course, was furious by this. All of her planning, solely to just gain nothing? She was even more infuriated when she realized that the two of you couldn't claim this money until you were both twenty. She felt she was more entitled to the fortune her own husband left behind.

You were lost in your deep thoughts when Childe shouted at you again.

"Y/NNNN... sheesh, how many more times do I have to call out your name?" Childe complained, intentionally drawing out your name in an effort to annoy you.

"It's like I'm talking to a goldfish!"

"Well, at least I'm a cute goldfish." you fired back, taking a deep breath as you completely regained your senses. "And, I know damn well you didn't just yell at me. I won't hesitate to rip you into shreds, ginger."

Childe simply laughed at your comment. "Is that a challenge, little goldfish?"

Before you could even respond, Scaramouche noticed your interaction and rolled his eyes, disgust clearly shown across his face. "Whatever, I'm leaving now, this was as pointless as I figured it would be."

"Alrighty, mouche, I'll see ya tomorrow at school, then." you replied, giving him a smile that he had no interest in reciprocating.

The instant your cat leaped off his lap, Scaramouche left, and Childe followed after him, but not before he said goodbye.

It was only five minutes later that Xiao returned home. He had been working on his homework in the library.

The sun shone brightly into your eyes, jolting you awake. Flowers in your room's window emit a sweet, fragrant scent. The tree's leaves rustled in the distant breeze...

RAAAGHHHHHHH (Jurassic park noise)

up until that point your morning had gotten off to a good start

You put on tights, a skirt, and a hoodie as you prepared for school. It was simple, yes, but as long as it was comfortable you didn't really care how it looked. Though, you made an effort to perfect your makeup in the hopes of looking halfway presentable.

When you heard a knock on your door, Xiao called out to you "y/n Are you prepared? I'm already leaving."

"Yes, I'm coming, Xiao!" you responded as you hurriedly grabbed your tote bag, which was essentially empty because you didn't have that many classes.

You followed behind him, leaving your house and locking the door, once again walking to the place you now dreaded most.

It had only been some time since school started, and you already managed to have a panic attack in front of your entire class... what would they think of you now?

'Childe mentioned a rumor, but I never got around to asking him about it. It must have slipped my mind.Maybe I'll ask him when I get to school.' you thought

You raised your head to observe the clouds and their distinct shapes, paying close attention to how they moved and covered the morning sky.

You run into someone, not realizing you'd already arrived at your school's entrance.

"Who in the hell?" the person you bumped into asked.

"I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going and-"You looked up to meet a pair of familiar rage-filled eyes.Scaramouche.

"Oh, mouchie! Sorry about that!! I'm just so blind these days."He scoffed at your excuse, rolling his eyes.

"Are you going to help me out, or am I going to sit here forever?" you ask, gently moving the hair out of your face and tucking it behind your ear.

"What makes you think I'm gonna help you out, idiot? You should have looked where you were going!" he grumbled, agitation flickering in his violet gaze.

"Mouchem, you're so cruel to me! Your words break my heart!"He was absolutely unfazed, simply relucantly lending his hand to help you up.

In your complete shock, your mouth had dropped.

"What?" he impatiently sighed at your expression.

"Are you gonna grab it or not? Because if not, I'll treat you like the complete idiot you are and leave you on this floor."

Hurriedly, you grabbed his hand. As if your shock by his sudden gesture wasn't enough, you were taken aback by how warm his hand felt. It held a surprising amount of heat in it, especially considering how cold of a person he is. You had to admit, the warmth that transferred from his hand to yours was nice... calming, even As you snapped out of your thoughts, you politely smiled up at him.

"Thank you so much, Scara!" He only scoffed at your gratitude, and he turned his head in such a way that you couldn't see the pinkish pigment rising to his cheeks.

You then parted ways with the purple haired boy as soon as you noticed a familiar head of ginger hair, and you skipped off to meet up with Childe. That ginger was going to explain himself, and you were going to make sure of it.
