Chapter Text
"Hey, guys, check this out!"
Kotone stood in front of the dorm's couch, arms spread out.
"What's up, Kotone-chan?" Junpei asked, walking over to her. Yukari and Fuuka followed behind him.
"Watch me," she said. "I'm gonna do a flip and land on the couch!"
"Uhh..." Yukari frowned. "Are you sure that's a good idea?"
"What if you get hurt?" Fuuka agreed.
"Aw, c'mon, guys!" Kotone assured them. "It'll be fine! Going to Tartarus is way more dangerous than this!"
"What's going on?" Akihiko walked next to the juniors.
"She's gonna do a flip!" Junpei told him. "Go, Kotone-chan!"
"Don't encourage her, Stupei!" Yukari snapped. "Senpai, tell her to stop!"
"Uhh..." Akihiko looked away. He wasn't as good at telling off his juniors as Mitsuru. Of course, this just had to be one night Mitsuru wasn't here. He supposed that was the reason Kotone had got such a ridiculous idea.
"Here I go!" Kotone bent her knees.
"I can't look!" Fuuka covered her eyes.
Koromaru whimpered, emerging from the front door. Aigis and Makoto were behind him, having taken him for a walk.
"Why is everyone congregating around Shiomi-san?" Aigis asked.
Makoto sighed. "She's probably doing something stupid."
"I resent that!" Kotone huffed. "Anyway, everyone ready?"
"Please don't do this," Yukari sighed.
Kotone began counting down. "5... 4... 3-2-1-GO!!"
And that was how she ended up face-first on the couch, legs bent over the back, like a dilapidated starfish.
"You okay, Kotone-chan?" Junpei asked.
"I can't move..." she whined.
"I knew this would happen..." Yukari scoffed, face-palming.
