Everyone seems pretty excited to meet the new friend.

Kiyoka's two loves asleep on top of her!!!

Grave was probably doing something, or even going to talk to Kiyoka about something or going to hang out with her since she's the one who never judged him and treated him the same, even with his memory gone. When he goes to check on her (who knows where they're at, but not in her dorm), he finds this lovely scene.

"Wait, wait!" Kiyoka exclaims. "It gets funnier!"

"Yay!! I can't wait!!" She's practically dragging Ayame along, who is half asleep. Her arm is around Kiyoka's shoulder, and she lifts up her legs to carry her.

After a lengthy and entertaining conversation in the library, the group of five have decided to explore what the rec room has to offer. Grave and Tord are specifically looking for the crate of Legos…

((I don’t have a Niko pic yet, but I should take one because they’re so wholesome. I also probably can’t load images with this darn service.))

Ayame, Kiyoka, Tord, Niko, Grave, Maiko, Becca and Wendy all decide to go for a walk along the Jabberwock paths.

Kiyoka is very excited. Ayame has a bunch of pent-up energy she wants to release, too. To be honest, all of them are excited to get some fresh air.

“I’ll be your tour guide today. Don’t ask me for hints, cause I’m not giving any. Follow me, please!”

"A-Already!?!? Guess it's time to do what I wanted to do..."

“Onward!! Haha. I kept saying that while you were sick.”

"Yayyyy!" she gushes. "I can't wait to sleep over with my very best friends!!"

Tord’s flustered since the attention’s on him, Kiyoka’s excited to share her moment, Grave’s happy for them, and Niko desperately wants to see, feeling bad they missed the proposal.

“Ugh, I’m so not ready for this…” she mutters to herself. Grave doesn’t look too happy.

Everyone is there, ready to relax like Kiyoka suggested and hang out. Wendy, Becca, Eden, Ayame, Grave, Niko, Tord, Kiyoka, The World Machine… maybe even more!!

If TWM desires, they can join too.

Not long ago, as in, shortly before this, Kiyoka had met some new friends and wanted to tell Grave.

The blonde girl, she already knew somewhat. Becca Nowak, The Ultimate Streamer, always ready to stream games to her fans.

Her old classmate, Mikako, whose cheeks were reddened, but Kiyoka didn’t really pay too much attention to it.

And Eden, an absolute sweethearted clockmaker. She and Kiyoka discussed their favorite types of fashion and chatted about random things.

“Grave! Grave!!!” Kiyoka exclaims. “Look who I met!!!”

((Need to edit more Tord pics))

Kiyoka wants to hear Grave talk again and maybe get to reading stuff. She also, most importantly, just like the others, wants to get her mind off the situation.

Kanade leads everyone to the door of the dining hall.

“Well, good job, everyone. Congratulations. You win.”

For some reason, she giggles.

“And now… it’s about time for your prize.”

Grave’s gonna watch, while Tord actively teaches Kiyoka.

The only person asleep now is Grave while the others are awake and following Kiyoka. Grave is sound asleep in Kiyoka's arms. She gushes at him, making sure to have taken lots of funny photos and videos of her with him while he slept.

"What time is it, Niko?" she asks as she opens the door to Grave's room.

Rantaro, Kokichi, Komaru, and Ibuki are just doing their things all over the school when they notice a tentacle coming closer and close to them.

The tentacle suddenly shoots out! It grabs their wrist and yanks on it, dragging them not very carefully to Krampy's dorm.

Umbra is in its center, her tentacles dragging them inside and then shutting the door.

"I did say I would summon you when the time for crafting came, and so I did. I believe it was highly effective. It is crafting time, my friends. Shall we begin?"

With Grave missing his memories of his time in the killing game, he, Niko, Kiyoka, and Tord opt to look for the rest of their group, particularly Ayame and Satsuki in hopes to jog his memory.

Tord is completely unsuspecting. Kiyoka's excited with her plans for tomorrow. Grave gives a knowing smile, but won't let Tord catch on.

Umbra, Hibiki, Kokichi, The two Bukis (Umbra was convinced but has a trigger on kicking her out,) Keith, Vodyanitsa, and Coiny all gather up to begin investigating.

Umbra explains all the found evidence ((links to catch up: Hallway: https://www.reddit.com/r/HopesPeakAcademy/s/eUL0LS3buU | Omo's shop: https://www.reddit.com/r/HopesPeakAcademy/s/BgmdKNzywb)) to have everyone on the same page and they debate on where to investigate. The hallway wins and everyone heads there.

Investigation of Omo's Disappearance has begun.

(Meowzy is asleep so just David and Driller for now)

Upon descending Merry Soul's vine stairway, you find yourselves in a nearly pitch black cavern. You can see the leftovers of the flare that was dropped down the chasm, but otherwise there is little you can see, other than rock formations jutting out of the ground haphazardly.

It's so dark... is this it?

In the AV room, Flippy showed up. There were two TVs, one big one set for "Invincible", and another set to "K-Pop Demon Hunters."

In the room was Flippy, the trusty green bear, was sitting on a chair, even though it was faced away from the TVs.
