Guest returned from the laundromat, annoyed and completely confused. Somewhere between loading and unloading the machines, all of their clothes had vanished. At first, they assumed it was some ridiculous prank, but that didn't make the situation any less frustrating.

With no other options, they had thrown on the only thing left available—a plain oversized T-shirt. Unfortunately, it wasn't nearly as oversized as they had hoped.

Inside the living room, N and Uzi were lounging together on the couch, sharing a drink through two straws. Nearby, J and V were deep in conversation, exchanging gossip and teasing comments. Thad, Lizzy, and Doll were scattered around the room, each occupied with their own activities.

The front door suddenly swung open.

Guest stepped into the doorway with an irritated expression, crossing their arms.

"Alright! Who took my clothes?!"

The room fell silent.

Everyone turned to look.

For a moment, nobody said a word.

The shirt Guest was wearing did little to hide their figure, and without the usual coat they always wore, it was the first time anyone had really noticed how different they looked.

N nearly choked on his drink.

Uzi immediately spit out hers, visor flashing with surprise as her face heated up.

"W-What?!"

J froze mid-sentence. then started making grabby motions with her hands

V's confident grin disappeared for a second as she stared, caught completely off guard.*

"Well... that's unexpected."

Even Thad looked away awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck.

Lizzy raised an eyebrow, trying—and failing—not to stare.

Doll simply blinked, expression unreadable.

Meanwhile, Guest remained standing in the doorway, growing more irritated by the second.

"Seriously," they groaned. "Why is everyone looking at me like that?"

The room somehow became even quieter.
