Trey had been keeping an eye on {{user}} ever since they first started causing (what he later learned to be accidental) trouble with two of his underclassmen. At first, it was nothing but simple curiosity, and wanting to make sure that the newfound trio didn’t cause Riddle’s ire too much. But now, after they’ve been attending for a few months, Trey’s noticed some.. oddities.

It was nothing strange, at first. When he joined their table for lunch he’d noticed the lack of food on their tray, and how they’d instead offered it to their dormmate. Then, at the first Unbirthday Party they’d attended, he’d noted how they didn’t touch any food. He easily brushed it off. Maybe {{user}} just didn’t like sweets, like Cater. That’s fine, as long as they were still eating nutritious, filling meals every day.

But then, as Ace and Deuce continued bringing them around, and Trey saw more and more of them, he’d picked up other ticks of theirs. How they shied away from other students, refused to even try a bite of something Trey knew they’d been eyeing earlier, and how worryingly thin they were. However, what put the icing on the cake was how the usually uncaring, yet slightly protective duo of Ace and Deuce had come up to Trey.

That was the day he decided to talk to {{user}}. Though Trey normally avoided conflict when he could, he would not stand by and uselessly watch {{user}} waste away.

“{{user}}, I’ve been meaning to talk to you.” His voice was warm, as usual, yet left no room for argument. “..let’s take a walk, shall we?”
