Aella was smiling ear to ear as she had finally convinced Luna to get out of her depressing room.
On the other hand, Luna was irritated, she could just have said no, or outright refused her, but she couldn't. Why? For not only was Aella persistent but had also used magic on her just for Luna to accompany her. For goodness sake, she almost burnt her alive, to think she'll make her room a sauna—no a volcano! Unbelievable!
When they were nearing a lamp post, Luna spotted three familiar faces. Two men with black hair and the other with blond hair. Strangely enough, it was an unusual trio.
The man with spectacles suddenly turn his head towards Luna as he then soon started waving and calling her "Oh, Luna!"
Luna approached them as she waved back. "What are you three doing here?" She couldn't help but asked.
Remus who glance up over to her, nodded his head up as if he wants her to look at something. Baffled as she is, Luna slowly turn her head towards her front.
Her eyes widen, disbelief and perplexity was apparent in her face. What an oddly scene. Luna then soon glace back and forth towrads the three then to Shiki and Rinalyn who was seem to be having a 'moment'.
The four could clearly see their interwined hands, their eyes locked into each other.
"Did he confess?" Said Daryll.
"Nah, he doesn't like her that way." Remus replied shaking his head.
"Then explain this, Remus! What is this?!"
"For fuck sake 'ryll, shut up! Stop with your crazy fantasies!"
"What about you Xavy!" Daryll pouted as he then turn towards Xavier, waiting for an agreement from Rinalyn' brother.
"Uhh, first drop the nickname, second; sorry but I'll have to agree with Remus. I've talked to Shiki before, he just seems like a worried friend and well, probably is still holding a guilt after what happened." Xavier remarked.
Luna patiently listen to the three, as she sat down within a flat rock near the lamp post. Watching the strange scene being unfolded across them.
"I swear, you and Rei keep talking about an incident, just what incident was it?!"
"Oh! Yeah, I've been curious about that for a while now too!"
"You don't know?" Xavier questioned directly to Remus "That's odd, I'm pretty sure your older brother knew. Perhaps he didn't bother to bring it up to you."
"That shithead... I'll swear to make him talk when I see him or else I'll sew his mouth!"
"Um, anyway, moving on— look..." Daryll interrupted, deliberately changing the subject pointing his forefinger towards the their two friends "...they seem to be arguing."
The four of them saw Rinalyn yanked her hand away that Shiki was holding on to, as she then turn her back on him stomping away. Meanwhile, Shiki just stood there, didn't even bother to go after Rinalyn. He seem to attempted upon following her but halted and turn towards the opposite direction.
All four witnessed how the two walked away from different direction, speechless about what happened. They seem to have smell the tension air a mile away.
"So they're still not in good terms, huh..." Remus remarked, not totally knowing what to say at the moment.
Xavier clutch his hand upon witnessing the situation and abruptly stood up, making the other to be shock.
"I'll try to talk to her." He said, worry was apparent within the tone of his voice.
"Leave her," Luna interpose "I don't think talking to either of them will be the best idea, it'd be better to give them space for some time, they need it... probably."
Xavier stare at her for quite a while before giving in as he nod and went back into sitting. "I guess you're right." He responded.
Ting!

Likability rate: 29%
Affection rate: 10%
The blue translucent screen appeared before her, she wasn't even surprised anymore.
'It gone up that much huh? 4% increase is the highest increase I got from a love interest since the start, Dion' parameters is not included, that Bastard doesn't even belong within the original love interest of luna.'
With the screen in front of her, Luna glance towards Remus and back to the screen as another one pop up.
(Remus Weinberg)
Likability rate: 39%
Affection rate: 4%
It was as she expected, it hadn't increase. It had stayed like this for quite a while now.
Actually, it was not just him, but that goes for the others too. Keeping every single one of them in track was too much to handle.
'Why do they have to be seven? What am I? Snow white? Ha!'
It was funny how she had began comparing her current life to a fairy tale. If anything, a nightmare would be befitting to compare her life now.
Luna finally decided to stood up. There was no more drama to watch here, she wanted to go back to the dorm, but Luna doubt Aella would let her.
"Oh you're leaving?" Daryll suddenly asked.
"Yeah, I originally was about to go to the oval, but I thought I'll stay here to watch a drama unfold." She lied, well half of it was true but only the latter part.
"Oh... You're into dramas huh, well guess what? Rei and Arlo are dating!"
"!!!"
The three of them turn their head towards Daryll who was smiling ear to ear, shock was written apparently across their faces.
"What?!" The two men exclaimed in unison, making them both to look at each other baffled.
"Wait, wait! She is?!" Exclaimed Xavier with disbelief of a expression. " I thought she likes Remus!"
"Me?! What the hell Xavier?!"
'Oh-ho, this is rather interesting...' Luna heard Aella say.
Well, she's not gonna lie, she too was very intrigued by it.
"Are you that oblivious? I was so sure that she likes you!"
"No way! You're being delusional!"
"No I'm not! It's true, her saying she likes Arlo is such a huge bluff! Do you even know how her eyes sparkle when she looks at you compared to her-so-called crush!"
"...."
Remus remained speechless, as if words just couldn't flow right through his mouth, as if they were stuck between his throat. How the hell would he know that? What how much would that be true? After all, all he and Rei ever did was bicker when they're together.
"Wait," Daryll suddenly interpose "um, didn't you say you like Rei too, Xavier?"
They all glance to Xavier who was panting, catching his breath after all that yelling. His ears had also began to turn bright red for some reason.
"W...what?! N-no, I don't, when did I ever say that...!" The more he denies, the more flushed his face had become.
'Wow, if I hadn't known any better, I'd thought Rei would be more of a heroine in some kind of Romance— no rather, I'd think she's the real heroine of this game and not me.'
Luna just only began to notice how they actually caught the others attention. Their chatters and murmurs can be heard, well it was no surprise, the fact that Xavier yelled all of those— it was bound to catch the attention of the students who was nearby.
With the attention of the other, Xavier's face became a really bright red, speechless as he then run away while he covered his flushed face with his two hands.
"Urgh, I bet rumors would've spread by now, well but I guess that'll be over tomorrow." Remus remarked.
"How can you say that?" Luna curiously asked.
"Hmmm, I don't know if it's alright to say this, but Xavier can hypnotize people. He'll probably use that skill later at night, but of course, it'll only affect those who he wants to target."
"We'll probably be included, you know?" Daryll interject.
"Right... Of course we will."
