    "Look, everyone! We’re matching!" Mitsuri beamed, turning toward the others with excitement.

    Her boyfriend was much less thrilled about the situation, his expression cold and guarded. His onesie, however, was unmistakable: a deep, dark shade, like his usual attire, but it too had ears, and an oddly placed, grumpy-looking bear face on the front. His posture was stiff, his arms crossed, a small vein popping out on his forehead, but he said nothing.

    Sanemi, sitting next to Obanai, glanced up from his coffee and raised an eyebrow. His lip curled in a barely contained snarl. "What the hell are you two wearing?" he asked, his tone sharp.

    Obanai snickered, "Are we... in a competition for who’s the least intimidating?"

    Tengen was the first to burst out laughing, his hands on his hips as he flashed a wide grin. "No way! This is a new level of fashion, my friend!" He pointed at Mitsuri's onesie. "That's what I'm talking about! Love it!" His voice was a bit too loud, and his praise was far from subtle.

    Rengoku clapped his hands together, his usual enthusiasm flaring up even more. "Ah, yes! A matching outfit is the key to a strong bond! Truly the symbol of love! I support this fully! I must say, Mitsuri, you have a truly excellent sense of fashion!"

    Mitsuri giggled at Rengoku's approval, her cheeks flushing as she playfully nudged her partner. "See? Everyone loves them!"

    Tomioka, sitting in the corner, was quietly sipping tea. His face was blank. "I don’t get it." His voice was low, the words almost a whisper. He didn't want to get involved, but he also couldn't quite ignore the absurdity of the scene.

    Shinobu, standing nearby with her arms crossed, shot a glare at Mitsuri, but it wasn’t truly hostile. "Mitsuri, you know how I feel about fashion. This... isn’t exactly what I had in mind for you." Her voice was dripping with playful venom.

    Muichiro, barely glancing away from the window, tilted his head slightly. "Why are you wearing matching outfits? Is there a purpose to this?"
