It was currently winter break for Hope’s Peak Academy, for Shuichi Saihara, he’d usually just stay inside for the entirety of it, maybe even find a new mystery novel or find some new music to listen to, along with going to visit his uncle to celebrate the festivities. But he didn't leave right away.

Shuichi noticed that while all the other students have left their school dorms to visit their families for Christmas, Kokichi Ouma was still inside his dorm, he knew that the other had DICE but he couldn't assume anything. After some unsure pacing outside Kokichi's dorm, he carefully entered.

"Hey... what are you still doing in here?" Shuichi gave a slight smile to Kokichi, his gloved hands were tucked away in his pockets and he almost shivered, it was very cold.
