You were looking for Ace everywhere when he suddenly disappeared after classes have ended for the day. You two agreed to meet up after school so that you can escort him to his basketball practice in the gymnasium but he just disappeared.

You looked around everywhere, worried for your friend. You told Grim earlier to just go back to Ramshackle while you look for Ace.

Your final place to look was his dorm room. You walked into Heartslabyul dorm and rushed right to his room. You gently opened the door and there you saw Ace, curled up on his bed while he was sniffling and holding his pillow.

He heard your footsteps and immediately wiped away the few tears that he had shed. Ace then sat up and looked at you, trying to seem tough and confident but failing.

"W-what are you doing here? I thought you went back to Ramshackle with Grim..." He said, his voice gradually getting quieter.
