My entire world comes to a complete and total halt.

Mori, the guy from the maze and the one who helped bandage me. Honey, the one who lended me his stuffed animal in order to help calm me down even though he knew I'd bloody it.

"They... they've been hurt?" I ask, my voice cracking as I feel my heart snapping.

"Yes." She leans back and looks me in the eye, seeming relieved. "They went out follow you after you stormed out in order to make sure you were alright, but they were gone for a very long time. When they came back Mori had a black eye and Honey seems to be cradling his right hand."

I suddenly have an entire head of the puzzle together in the span of a second.

The tall male opponent.

The small male opponent.

Even during the battle I swore I recognized them, but I didn't trust it.

My lunch is suddenly completely forgotten.

"D- Do you know where they are?" I almost whimper as I swallow nervously. She nods and releases me as she takes a step away.

"Music Room 3." She states, "Would you like me to-" I give her a glance and she cuts herself off with a small wince. "Alright, I'll see you around." It hurts me to see my only friend sound so defeated as she walks away, but I have to go see for myself.

It takes me a moment to get my feet moving again, they feel like their suddenly filled with lead and cement is drying around them. As I get closer to the doors I swear my heart stopped and started five different times. The choking fear that I've hurt them only fought back with logic, and reason.

They would've said something, they would've told me, they wouldn't have fought me. Plus, not like I'm good enough to beat them anyways.

As I get closer, I've almost completely convinced myself that I'm not the one who hurt them.

As I round the last corner to their hall, I see Tamaki and the orange heads walking out of the room.

"Boss, how are you planning on finding her anyways?" The one on the left of him speaks first.

"Yeah, she could be anywhere at lunchtime." The second finishes. I'm struck again by how similar they sound, but I know that the one in the right has a slightly lower pitch.

"I don't know! But I have to apologize! Can you imagine how badly my actions could've have severely deterred her attitude, could've changed the way she veiled the world!" He throws his hands up and turns to face them, but sees me between them further down the hall.

I freeze in place, blinking at them like that'll make them go away. He also freezes, but seems to recover swiftly as he nods slightly and continues turning.

"So, let's start with the courtyard, men!" And with the cheerful command, the group head off at a brisk pace down the rest of the hall.

He-... He didn't approach me.

A small smile pulls on the darkness that had made my unmovable.

He didn't want to make the same mistake twice. He actually took me into consideration.

I let out a small snicker as I look off in the direction they went in.

Thank you, Tamaki-Senpai.

I continue into my path and slowly push the door open, peeking inside as I look around the interior.

Music Room 3, luckily, isn't in one of those stages where there's birds and such all over the place. I've heard they do that a lot, but here it's calm as can be. I slowly open it further and take a worried step inside, glancing around for any signs of life.

However, I don't see anybody even in the side rooms. Tamaki and the twins must've been the last to leave or something.

I guess I'll have to do something about it later, I just sincerely hope it wasn't me.

I turn and start walking back out the door when I see the doorknob turn. My worry for them is outweighed by the fear of one of them actually entering and I somehow manage to make it across the room and behind a pillar before it opens completely.

"Are you sure this is okay?" A small voice asks as I hear two pairs of shoes come inside.

"Of course it is! Tamaki said that their doors are always open, and now that there are rumors some of them have been attacked-I want to make sure they're alright!"

Girls?

I close my eyes as I hold my lunch closer to me, trying to keep from gasping for air.

"But didn't Kyoya say that they were closed for today? I wouldn't want him to be mad at me..." The first girl mumbles as the pair make their way across the room. Based from the shadows thrown against the wall, I can tell they're going to a side room.

"He won't be mad! We deserve to know how they are!" This one sounds... she sounds like Dai. Not literally, but in her mindset. "Plus, wouldn't you like to see them... privately?" The two squeal as they reach the door on the other side of the room.

You're joking. They don't care about checking in! What the hell-

"I believe I did say we weren't open to public today." Kyoya's voice was enough to make me jump, almost hitting my head on the shelf above me as I did so. His voice is so cold, the air on the room had to have dropped ten degrees just in the time he's breathed.

"Oh! We heard that Mori-Senpai and Honey-Senpai got hurt, is that true? Are they okay?" The sap could've covered the floor considering how much she just poured on.

Liar.

"Please, try to keep your lies for someone who'll fall for them." I see his shadow adjust his glasses as the two have their backs to the door they were aiming for, "Now leave before you loose your access here. We have no need for girls who only care for themselves." The pair are gone so fast I think they set a record.

Alright, so now once he leaves I can sneak out the door. It shouldn't be too-

"Amaya." My name echoes in the hollow space my brain just fled from.

Oh God. Oh no oh no, he'll think I'm like them. He'll completely destroy me. I don't think I can do this, why did I even decide to come here? It was a stupid mistake and it'll get me-

"They're in the other room, you can go through the door here." I turn around the pillar in surprise, blinking as I realize he's... helping me.

Kyoya clicks open the door with a small smile, stepping to the side as he walks towards the other door.

But... why?
