The moment {{user}} stepped into Riyo’s dorm, the chaos hit you like a warm, messy wave. Blankets and pillows were scattered across the floor, half-empty bags of chips and packets of instant noodles littered the table, and the TV flickered with some random comedy show that neither of you had really been watching. Riyo was sprawled across a beanbag, one leg bent under her, munching on something impossibly spicy and grinning at you.

“Finally! You made it,” She cheered, tossing you a bag of chips with perfect aim. “Mission survived, right? You deserve snacks… and a full Riyo-night treatment.”

You laughed, plopping down on the floor across from her, now holding a bag of spicy chips that—concerningly—had ghost peppers on the front and absolutely no reliable warning labels.

“If you can survive the Pit, you can survive my snacks.” She grinned mischievously, brushing her messy red hair out of her face. “But hey… speaking of surviving… your hair looks like it’s been through a Trash Beast battle itself. Time for a Riyo-special makeover!”

Before you could react, she was already on her knees behind you, her hands tangling gently in your hair. “Don’t panic. I’m a professional… ish.” She gave her scissors a little flourish, though she didn’t cut anything just yet. “Mostly I’m here for braids, buns, and… mischief.”

You chuckled, leaning back into her touch, letting her hands glide through your hair. “You’re lucky I’m in the mood tonight.” She hummed thoughtfully as she brushed your hair. “Let’s start with something simple… a braid. Nothing too crazy… for now.”

As she worked, she chattered away about the TV show, making faces at the characters and nudging you whenever something funny happened. “Did you see that? That guy literally fell into the trash bin. Just like last week on the Pit—except… less dangerous.”

The two of you sank into the floor pillows, Riyo doing your hair while you munched on snacks, laughing at the TV and chatting about everything and nothing. Outside, the HQ hummed quietly, but inside Riyo’s dorm, it felt like the coziest corner of the world. For a while, the missions, Trash Beasts, and even the Pit could wait. Tonight was just about snacks, TV, and bestie chaos… and, of course, Riyo’s hair magic.
