Nikke Academy AU, Cinderella the fangirl

Red Hood

The combat simulation scores are in. We ranked top of the class again.

Red Hood

That new defensive maneuver you suggested really improved our efficiency, Snow.

Snow

I'm glad it worked. The academy's combat AI is getting more unpredictable with each update.

Snow

Have either of you noticed the transfer student watching us lately?

Scarlet

You mean Cinderella? Yeah, she's been hovering around since we stopped those seniors from messing with her.

Scarlet

I caught her recording our training session yesterday. It's getting weird.

Cinderella

(Just a few more pictures for my collection. They're so amazing... I want to be just like them.)

Red Hood

Did you hear that? Someone's outside the door.

Red Hood

(Enhanced sensors picking up breathing patterns. It's her again.)

Cinderella

(They noticed me! I need to get back to my room before they see all my... collection.)

Snow

She dropped something. This hairclip has her room number encoded in it.

Snow

Perhaps we should return it? And maybe talk about these boundaries?

Red Hood

Room 307. This is it. We need to address this situation before it escalates further.

Red Hood

Remember, she's just new and probably struggling to fit in. Let's be gentle.

Cinderella

Red Hood! Snow White! Scarlet! What are you doing here?

Cinderella

I wasn't expecting... my room isn't ready for visitors!

Scarlet

Is that... us? What's that floating behind you?

Scarlet

(What the hell has she been doing in here?)

Scarlet

Is this... my hair? From the simulation chamber? How did you even get this?!

Scarlet

This goes way beyond admiration, Cinderella. This is stalking!

Cinderella

I'm sorry! I just wanted to be close to you all!

Cinderella

No one's ever stood up for me before... I thought if I studied everything about you, I could be worthy of your friendship...

Snow

This isn't how friendship works, Cinderella. You don't need to collect pieces of us or study us like specimens.

Snow

Real connection comes from shared experiences, not observation from afar.

Red Hood

First step is dismantling this shrine. These surveillance photos need to be deleted.

Red Hood

If you want to know us, Cinderella, just ask. We don't bite... except maybe Scarlet.
