[How did this box with Shiro's name written on the top get here? The gifter definitely still isn't here.

Inside the box is a rose quartz pendant with a simple note.]

Shiro,
I heard that rose quartz is the best stone for attracting love and increasing feelings of self-worth. Thank you for everything.
- Amaya
(also, my real name is Yonaka Kurai, but please don't tell anyone!)

[chiyo_chan]

[Guess what? Yonaka is getting CHASED THE FUCK DOWN. And Shiro has already got the pendant on around her neck. And she attacks her friend with a MASSIVE HUG.]

Amaya-chan! It's so pretty! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[chasescenes]

[Awww, Shiro. Yonaka hugs her back, tightly.]

You're welcome! It looks nice on you.

[chiyo_chan]

Ahhhhh, that's only because you did such a good job picking it out!

[Pause, and then she LOWERS HER VOICE.]

Sh-should... I not call you Yonaka-chan then?? U-um... 'cause you told me to keep your name a secret...

[chasescenes]

[Nope it's because Shiro's so cute.]

You can call me that when we're in private. I just don't want it to get back to the Witch that I know, or she'll probably get really mad.

[chasescenes]

[Sticking her head in Shiro's room - oh, good, she's in.]

Shiro, do you know where I can get myself a birthday party hat?

[chiyo_chan]

[She isn't too surprised by visits from Yonaka anymore, to be honest.]

Huh? Um, well I could probably make on-- Wait, are you going to a birthday party? Whose birthday is it??

[A little, excited bounce.]

[chasescenes]

[That's because they're buddies!]

It was mine on Monday, but I was working that day, so I'm a little late... It just feels weird to have a birthday and not do anything for it.

[chiyo_chan]

...............

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!

[Cue Shiro freaking out a little, holy crap.]

W-WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME???

[chasescenes]

I-it didn't occur to me to tell anyone...

[Shiro you are so loud right now like whoa.]

9/6;

[missingache]

SHIRO THIS IS KOJI AND SOMETHING REALLY BAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS IN YOUR BODY AND LINOS LIKES YOU.

[Whoa, calm down.]

Well, he really likes you. He wanted me to ask you if you like him back before he tells you.

We should probably talk in person.

[chiyo_chan]

Ehhhh? Linos?

[Who was that again...?]

What happened?? Um, I'm in the room right now, can you meet me there?

just gonna go action now

[missingache]

I'LL TELL YOU WHEN I GET THERE!

[Koji does show up in the room a little while later, peeking in.]

S-Shiro?

[chiyo_chan]

[She immediately rushes over!!]

Koji-kun! What's wrong? What happened???

[missingache]

Uhm...

[First of all, your body is covered in scratches and bruises.

Second...]

Well, I was walking around, and... I saw my friend Linos walking really, really fast towards me... and then...

[This is mortifying.]

He kissed me! But... he thought it was you!

[chasescenes]

Shiro, I need you to judge me and my life choices, I have a crush on a robot that I literally just met.

[chiyo_chan]

??? WHAT?!
Come here now, I'm in my room. >:(

Action

[chasescenes]

[Knock knock knock.]

Can I come in now?

[chiyo_chan]

[Flinging open the door and STARING.]

What... what happened, Yonaka-chan?!

[chasescenes]

My new roommate is super hot and was also really nice to me and it's awful, Shiro, I've never gotten a crush this bad this fast.

[Her life is so terrible.]

shortly after roxas leaves

[prismbloom]

[ When Aqua had come to the room, she'd noticed Koji's name was gone. It's hard to ignore just how Shiro and Koji felt about each other; and they were so cute... but now he's gone, and Aqua's just worried about her. She knows what it feels like to lose a boyfriend, after all.

So when Shiro comes back to the room, Aqua clears her throat. ]

Shiro?

[chiyo_chan]

[Shiro has been in something of a daze since she realized Koji was gone, so she almost doesn't realize someone has called out to her. She blinks a couple of times and then jumps a little.]

O-oh! I'm sorry, Luka-san! Um... i-is there something you need?

[It's pretty obvious she didn't sleep well last night by the redness of her eyes and the bags under them as well....]

[prismbloom]

[ ... She really isn't doing well. Aqua's heart aches for her, and she crosses over to pull her into a gentle hug. ]

I've been worried about you.

[chiyo_chan]

[....!!

Shiro tenses for just a moment. But less than a second later, she grips onto Aqua tightly and she can feel the tears starting to drip from her eyes.]

I... I'm fine, really...!

[Says the crying girl, oops.]

[yoshinocherry]

Stashed safely away in Shiro's cubby is a simple little letter with her name written on it. Opening it up gives her a message reading:

Hello! Thank you for participating in the Secret Santa event~⋆
The person you've been assigned for getting a present for is Schnee, and I've enclosed her information here for you to use! The party is going to be held on the 25th in the employee lounge, and we'll be exchanging everything then, so please be sure to be ready for it!

And, sure enough, there's an extra sip of paper tucked into the note:

Name: Schneewittchen. Mostly called "Schnee" for short.
Hobbies: Singing, training, learning about new things
Anything you want in particular?: Surprise me, but only for stuff related to any of my hobbies.
