Dot (loud, immediate): “Oh great. Pretty boys. Just what we needed.” 👎 (eyes lock on Scaramouche) “EYELINER BOY, don’t breathe near me.”
Scaramouche (smirking): “I didn’t plan to. Your voice already gave me a headache.”
Kaveh (flipping hair): “How charming… Is he always like this?”
Lemon (glaring at them all): “They sure are sparkly. But no one beats my husband.” 💘 Mash (eating cream puff, monotone): “I’m with Rayne.”
Lemon (doesn’t care): “...My future husband.”
Kaeya (whistling): “This place is like a mix of magic and technology. Quite exotic.”
Diluc (flat): “...Looks inefficient.”
Childe (spinning around): “Where are the battle arenas? I feel like this place hides big explosions.”
Alhaitham (adjusting headset): “I see layers of enchantments woven into the infrastructure. Effective.”
Xiao (staring at vending machine): “What is this… box of blinking lights?”
Thoma (friendly): “Guys… is that cream inside bread? That looks amazing.”
Finn’s phone rings. Rayne Ames’ contact flashes: “🔥Older Brother”
Finn (answering): “Hey, Rayne—yeah, I’m with Mash. He’s fine. Just eating like always.”
Childe (jumps back): “What was that? That device screamed.”
Kaeya (laughing): “A voice trapped in a metal box. Spooky~”
Xiao (to Diluc): “This world is cursed.”
Mash (holding out his cream puff): “You can hear people through this. It’s not magic, just… tech.”
Alhaitham (murmurs): “Remarkable. Compact communication systems. Efficient.”
Dot (pointing at Visions): “What are those shiny eyeballs on your chest? Is it a third eye? Does it blink?”
Scaramouche (smirking): “You wouldn’t survive a blink.”
Dot (lunging): “TRY ME, EYELINER!”
Lance (sipping soda, chill): “Fight all you want, my sister’s hotter than all of you anyway.”
Kaveh (blinking): “Do we—uh—know his sister?”
Lemon (arms crossed): “She’s terrifying. In a good way. Unlike these sparkly drama queens.”
You (Divine Visionary, Ocean Cane) silently walk beside them. You don’t speak. You don’t need to. Your ocean-themed coat flows as if underwater. Even the air feels heavier when you pass.
Kaeya (nudging Thoma): “Hey, who’s that guy?”
Thoma (whispering): “I don’t know but I think I peed a little.”
Childe (gulp): “Why does the air feel like it’s judging me?”
Scaramouche (hushed): “He hasn’t spoken once. But I feel like if he does, someone’s dying.”
Suddenly— portal ripple, ice crackles Rayne Ames appears. Impossibly cool, sword cane gleaming. The wind shifts like it knows him.
Rayne (nodding to you): “You’re watching them? Good. They might break.” (notices Mash munching) “Mash. You’ve had six cream puffs already.”
Mash (holding another): “Still hungry.”
Rayne (sighs, but soft): “...Fine. Don’t choke.”
Rayne turns to Genshin boys Rayne: “You. With the fan.” (points at Ayato) “Stop looking like you're in a tea commercial. This is a school.”
Ayato (smiling): “Tea is culture.”
Rayne: “Culture won’t save you from Dot’s fists.”
Dot (smirking): “Finally! Someone’s making sense.”
Lance: “Didn’t know you liked tea, Dot.”
Dot: “I like violence, Lance.”
Zhongli (turning to Lemon): “And who leads this group?”
Lemon (gesturing to Mash): “My husband.”
Mash (flatly): “I’m taken.”
Rayne (dry): “By me.”
Dot (gagging): “BL bullshit overload!”
Finn (head in hands): “I just wanted to pass my year…”
Rayne & You exchange a look. Calm. Unshaken. You both silently understand: You’re the babysitters. These are your chaotic children.
Mash (holding cream puff to you): “You want?”
You (silent, stare enough to cause silence).
Everyone: “...Right. Never mind.”
Kaveh (to Alhaitham): “This school is insane.”
Alhaitham: “And yet somehow… balanced. Like watching a disaster in slow motion.”
