WHO: Renju, Kozue.
WHAT: Despair.
WHEN: Afternoon after the 2-B debacle.
WHERE: Outside school.
WHY: Shared misery is half misery?

It had been a long, long day at school today, and for once not by choice.

The school was buzzing after that fiasco, apparently, but Renju had missed most of it, having been one of the few members of 2-B to stay for the entirety of the clean-up. (She had given up on trying to wipe off the glitter; the panda costume had gotten most of it at first, sure, but the cleaning effort had made it worse than a couple of single large doses could ever have been.) What she caught on her way out, shoulders slumped and swearing never to wear black and white again, were mere aftershocks in comparison to the initial impact of the... event. Really, she was at a loss for any better words to describe it that didn't just degenerate into synonyms for "terrible". Her class, formerly only particularly notable for being contenders for the highest average exam scores, was now the laughingstock of Nanakamado.

She caught a pair of underclassmen from 1-A pointing at her and giggling; she shot them a disgusted look, huffed irritably, and moved on.

At any rate, she decided, it wasn't important. They'd get done with the next couple of days and everyone would move on, preoccupied with the next bit of news or gossip, and she could go back to business as usual. (As "usual" as business ever was, at any rate.) And she could forget that ridiculous "chaos theory" business she'd felt obligated to spruce up from the script she'd been handed that morning.

There was a brief flash of... something that wasn't despair across Renju's face, something almost hopeful, but it was squashed almost before it appeared. She had tried to at least salvage that part of it, make it somewhat worthy of respect--or, at least, less laughable than the rest of that farce had been. And she could certainly do creepy. But it really wasn't something she ought to be taking pride in.

"The rest of it was also supposed to be. I think." She sighed heavily, her shoulders slumping. She'd been too caught up in her own thoughts to notice Kozue looking the same way just a few moments ago. "Whatever the case, it's finished, at least. Years 1 and 3 have theirs tomorrow, correct?"

"I have to go home and get ready," she confirmed, nodding her head. And she couldn't afford to be glittery for that, because she had the feeling it'd ruin the atmosphere they were going for. "You're going to be there for ours, right? I think it's going to be a hit."

She grinned, showing enthusiasm for the first time since somewhere near the beginning of the 2-B fiasco; "I get to dress up, it's going to be... pretty wild, actually."

"I intend to be."

Glad for the change of topic, Renju tried to remember if she'd been paying attention to any of the festival flyers around. Somewhat to her chagrin, she realized that she hadn't, and so she wasn't certain what to expect. Still, with Kiriko and Kozue in charge, it was likely to be interesting, and without Seiko involved, there would be significantly less glitter.

And Kozue dressing up... well, she was curious about that, too. "It'll be better than that was, I'm sure."

"If nothing else is good, my costume will be incredible," Kozue announced with a smile, and a little, proud shake of her head. More glitter cascaded out of her loose hair, and that dampened her spirit, although not horribly. Better out than in—well, that wasn't quite accurate, but nonetheless...

"You should look forward to it. It's another one of those things that would have given my grandmother a massive heart attack if she'd ever seen it." Kozue noted this, not even dispassionately, but with some pleasure; Kondo Fumiko deserved it, as far as she was concerned.
