Yagamine remained still before he began to twitch erratically. Soon, he suddenly got up without warning and ran back to his apartment room, slamming the door shut as he left no room for others to stop him. The sheer speed of his running combined with everyone being occupied allowed him to defy fate and survive!

[color=f7941d]"Hm hm hm hmm...! Hu hu heh heh HA HA HA HA! AH, HA HA HA HA!"[/color]

Locking his door, Yagamine snickered as he thought to himself,

[color=f7941d][i]And the god of a new world lives to see another day. Truly, everything went smoothly and entirely to my plan.[/i][/color]

Nothing went according to plan, actually, but he firmly believed that he had predicted every event that had transpired within the past few minutes. As he went to his bathroom, the brown-haired detective kept a smile on his face.

Until he looked into a mirror.

[color=f7941d][i]What the...?![/i][/color] He thought as he read a certain word scribbled on his face. [color=f7941d][i]What is this ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ?! The hell?![/i][/color]

[color=f7941d][i]...[/i]

[i][h1]...IT MUST BE A SIGN FROM THE SHINIGAMIS![/h1][/i][/color]

Thinking he was above all consequences, Yagamine laughed like a buffoon as he took a shower with all of his clothes on.

Alex did not do much after the ordeal ended. Ignoring all conversations around her, she slipped straight back into the apartment room she came from. At least the new apartment residents knew how to leave her the hell alone.

[color=a187be]“Finally some peace and qui-“[/color]

A very faint sound of Yagamine laughing came from next door. Alex’s grip on her gun tightened dangerously for a split moment before she tossed it back into a closet. With the apartment room door shut, she decided to turn on the TV and waste her time doing nothing productive. Ironically enough, that alone made her less obnoxious than any other screaming detective in the apartment.

Hibiki swept up the area in front of the gates for a bit longer before walking back into her land.

The new residents seemed to be fitting in nicely. If the red paint all over the place was any indication, Yagamine and Alex must have greeted themselves in their own unique ways. That was good.

[color=6ecff6][i]…Well, I’ll be cleaning up some of the paint, then.[/i][/color]

And with that, she quietly walked behind the apartment. There was a faucet she used often to dump water into a bucket for cleaning. It always did the trick if she accompanied the water with a scrub. With her tools in hand, she began cleaning some parts of the apartment’s outer walls.
