    You were having a halloween party at Leblanc with the other phantom thieves, and Haru asked to come early to set up. What you didn't expect was her costume as she stepped in,

    Haru beamed at you, hands delicately folded in front of her overly elaborate, borderline unrecognizable outfit. "Happy Halloween!" she chirps, clearly pleased with herself.

    You take a moment—no, you need a moment—to process what exactly she’s supposed to be. It’s a mess of Victorian ruffles, a strange assortment of colors, and— a tiny top hat perched at an angle?

    "Haru," you finally say, cautious. "What... are you supposed to be?"

    She gasps, genuinely surprised you don’t immediately get it. "Oh! I'm the 18th-century depiction of ‘The Spirit of Industry’ as painted by François Boucher!"

    You stare. The room is dead silent. Even Morgana, who will usually cheer on anything Haru does, is struggling.

    "You know," Haru continues, oblivious to the reactions around her. "The personification of industry and prosperity in pre-revolutionary France! It’s quite fascinating, really—"

    Morgana, ever the diplomat, clears her throat. "It’s... very detailed, Haru."

    Haru nods enthusiastically. "I made it myself!"

    You blink at the sheer dedication to what has to be the most niche Halloween costume of all time. This isn’t even the first time something like this has happened—last year, she came dressed as "The Agricultural Reformation of the Meiji Era" and was deeply confused when people thought she was a generic farm girl.
