| Heartslabyul Dorm – Lounge | ||
Riddle  |
Laws of the Queen of Hearts, No. 249 states: "The one in charge of feeding the flamingos must wear pink." You were supposed to be the one in charge today. Where is your pink? For whatever reason are you not wearing it? | |
Heartslabyul Resident Heartslabyul Resident  |
My deepest apologies, Dorm Leader... I-It's being washed! Please, don't cut off my head! | |
Riddle |
This makes the second time you've broken the rules. I can only overlook so much. OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!! | |
Heartslabyul Resident Heartslabyul Resident |
Guwaaaah!! | |
Riddle |
Write a 5000 word apology and weed the garden for a week. Then I will gladly unseal your magic. | |
Heartslabyul Resident Heartslabyul Resident |
Sob sob... That's... | |
Riddle |
I'm not taking your head because I want to! It's because you all refuse to stop breaking the rules! Enforcing the rules so strictly is for your own benefit. Understood? Trey, Cater. Take him outside. | |
Cater & Trey  |
...Yes, Dorm Leader. | |

Trey  |
…… | |
Deuce  |
Trey. | |
Trey |
Oh, it’s you guys. | |
Deuce |
We figured you'd come to the library to return the cookbook for the mont blanc and camped out here. | |
Ace  |
We really can't agree with the way Riddle is doing things. | |
Trey |
…I bet. | |
Ace |
What do you really think about him? Have you been his lap dog since you were kids or what? | |
Trey |
Who told you that? | |
Deuce |
From a guy named Che’nya. | |
Trey |
Che’nya… Ah, that guy. | |
Grim  |
Aren't you older than him? Just tell him what's what already. What's wrong with you getting angry at him? | |
Trey |
Of course, I'd do it if I really had to. But...I just can't bring myself to. | |
Ace |
Why!? | |
Trey |
Everything Riddle is was made under a strict upbringing. | |
Deuce |
Huh…? | |
Trey |
His parents are famous Healers. So famous that there isn't a single person in his homeland that isn't aware of them. His mother was especially talented, and she wanted Riddle to follow in her footsteps. So from dawn till dusk, his every move was decided for him, down to the smallest thing, as part of a regimented study program. | |
Grim |
Down...to the smallest thing? | |
Trey |
From what he ate, what he wore, what he consumed, to his friends, everything was decided for him. Nevertheless, Riddle never complained and strived to meet those expectations. He even managed to perfect his Unique Magic at the age of ten. He's maintained his spot at the top of the class since middle school. I can't even begin to imagine how difficult that must have been. | |
Ace |
……… | |
| Choice 1: Then the reason he's like this is his parents' fault? | Choice 2: That's terrible... | |
Trey |
Riddle fully believes being bound by strict rules is for one's own benefit. He's convinced that ruling by fear and bounding by rules is what leads to one's growth. After all, it worked for him, didn't it? Similarly, that means there's no greater evil to him than breaking said rules. I mean... | |
Ace |
If he encourages rule violation in any form, it would be like rejecting his whole existence that was formed by said rules. That what you're trying to say? | |
Trey |
...I completely understand why you think of him the way you do, and that his way of doing things is incorrect. But for me...I just can't bring myself to scold him. | |
Grim |
This sucks… | |
Deuce |
I didn't think the dorm leader had a history like that… | |
Ace |
There's one thing I know for sure after hearing all this. The way Riddle is now, is your fault. | |
All All |
EH!? | |
Ace |
Yeah, Riddle didn't get to choose who his parents were. Who does? But you've grown up with the opinion that what they were doing to him was wrong, no? | |
Trey |
That’s… | |
Ace |
If you think Riddle is making the same mistakes his parents did, say so. Put him on the right track. What good is it to coddle him just because you feel sorry for him? You're just going to watch while he becomes hated and isolated from everyone? | |
Trey |
… | |
Deuce |
H-Hey... Ace! | |
Ace |
Or is it something else? You just keeping quiet 'cause you're afraid of losing your head? So lame! Never mind childhood friends, you can't even call yourself his friend! | |
Crowley  |
HEY! YOU BOYS OVER THERE! BE QUIET IN THE LIBRARY! | |
Grim |
You’re the loudest here. | |
Crowley |
Oh my, apologies. Ahem. My goodness, the library is for quiet study or reading. | |
| Choice 1: I'm so sorry. | Choice 2: What are you doing here, Headmaster? | |
Crowley |
I'm glad you understand. By the way, what are you all doing here with such grim faces? | |
Deuce |
About that… | |
