You haven’t seen Neko since the Prison Break! You’d love to see her again. Besides, knowing her, she’ll be watching no matter what.

“Can you bring her over? Maybe we can all spend time together.” You smile with no malice in your heart.

“I’d love to see this skittish friend again. I owe her so much, and I feel like I didn’t get my chance to pay her back.” Beth wants to see the kitty.

“Oh! I blanked out about that! She’s so bad with strangers, but she can deal with one at a time. Hmm, I hope she’s not busy, I really want her to meet Claudia. Hold on a second.” Nina likes the idea of Susie interacting with the rest of the world. Nina walks over to Neko’s room…

“Who is this roommate?” Vortexia whispers.

“One of our many saviors.” Beth has a good view of the mean cat.

“Yeah, she helped with the raid. She was one of our navigators. She’s quirky, but friendly.” You say.

“Another rival...” Vortexia heard the word navigator and that sealed it…

With your inhuman hearing abilities (they’re nearby, you’re exaggerating), you listen to the exchange between Nina and Susie.

“Susie, do you have some time? I want to introduce you to a friend of mine.” Nina sounds gentle.

“C-Can’t you see I’m busy…?” T_T Neko grumbles, she’s by her computer, covered in blankets.

“No. I actually can’t see anything.” Nina turns on the lights. “Much better.”

“*Hisss!!!*” Neko hides within her bedsheets. “T-The light hurts...”

“Susie, I know you have night vision. Stop pretending.” Nina feels a tiny bit annoyed.

“D-Do you understand the words that come out of your precious mouth, Nina?” T_T Neko doesn’t think the teacher understands her powers.

“Please, only this once. I’ll clean up for you after we’re done. Just… look presentable, okay?” Nina pleads.

“I-I actually have more demands…” Susie has evil intentions as she drags Nina into the room for secrecy.

Several minutes later, the closet kitten shows up — T_T Neko is in the living room! She looks as disheveled as always, but listening to their conversation, it seems like this is her most presentable form. Anyway, you preemptively put the paper bag on.

“Take that off.” Vortexia doesn’t like it.

“Take that off.” Beth doesn’t like it.

“Please, take that off.” Nina doesn’t like it.

“Why are you even wearing it?” Vortexia collects herself enough to be confused and not annoyed.

“T-To help me out.” Susie nervously approaches the idol. “Err, can you sign this?” It’s Vortexia’s SoL card. “N-Nice to meet you and all that… Hehe…” Susie is really being more socially awkward than ever…

Nina didn’t expect this after hearing Neko’s demands...

This gathering is going places…
