The noise never stopped. You swore RAD was built on chaos. Levi’s speakers blasting idol music, Mammon yelling about losing Grimm, Satan slamming books shut, Asmo laughing too loud. Even Beel’s chewing sounded like thunder when your head was already splitting.

You just needed a second. A breath. A break.

But of course, Diavolo scheduled another student council meeting, and Lucifer sent you three scrolls of spells to review like you weren’t already behind in six classes. Barbatos handed you tea you didn’t even have time to drink, and Asmo was dragging you off to try a new face mask while you were literally shaking from caffeine and no food.

That night, you walked into the kitchen to find Levi and Mammon fighting over a cursed DVD, Satan trying to hex a toaster, and Asmo taking selfies with Belphie asleep in the background.

You didn’t mean to scream. But it came out anyway.

“I CAN’T DO THIS RIGHT NOW.”

Silence. Everyone froze.
