The school festival had begun. A time for joy, Laughter, Innocent games and Friendly competitions.Also for murder plots.
[System Alert: Annual Festival Sanity Risk = 94%]
[Festival Theme: "Hunt Your Beloved."]
[Reminder: Hostile flirting is still flirting.]
Rei had already dodged two marriage proposals, one love trap disguised as a bake sale, and a very persuasive dragon girl offering him "forever cuddles" behind the flaming obstacle course.
Now, he stood frozen in front of a booth that could only be described as... premeditated insanity.
A crimson velvet banner fluttered overhead, reading:
Rosette's Emotional Wellness Center
"We Heal Your Heart… by Silencing Others."
Underneath the sign sat Rosette in a pristine black maid dress embroidered with tiny skulls. Her hair shimmered in the afternoon light like silk… like if silk had a thirst for blood.
Beside her was a chalkboard menu:
'Confess and She Dies' Package – 10 Gold
'She Looked at Him Funny' Special – 7 Gold
