At the sound of her stomach growl, Komaeda cracked a smile and snickered to himself. “Ah, well if you’re hungry you’re in the right place.” The cafeteria had just opened for lunch, so there were few students in the lunchroom as of now. “There’s a large variety of food to cater to anyone’s needs, and you can special order specific meals in advance.” Some of the pickier, upper-class students had each of their meals specially arranged everyday. “Ah, you can go get whatever you’d like right over there.” The boy gestured to the food lines, where a few students had already begun to line up.

After Sena had selected a sandwich, a cup of fruit, and a pastry, she hopped into the paying line to pay for her pastry. She dug in her purse for change, handing it to the cafeteria worker with a beam. "Have a nice day!" She called over her shoulder to the lady, leaving with a polite smile. She then scanned the room for Komaeda, and raised her hand to let him know she saw him. She walked quickly over to him, plopping down in front of him. "I know you said you didn't need anything", She said, a sheepish grin on her face, "But I got you a pastry anyway. I hope you don't mind!" Sena placed it on a napkin, and held it out the Komaeda invitingly. She couldn't help but buy him something in the line!

“Excuse me, Miss. Would you happen to be ‘Sena Kodaki’? I’ve been looking all over for her and I just cannot seem to find them for the life of me…” The maid spoke, there was a slight whimper in her voice as she had grown a bit tired of repeating the same phrase over and over.

"Hm?" Sena turned around in her seat to see a girl (one way taller than her, at that) speaking to her. "Yes, actually!" She replied, smiling at the girl. She had noticed the whimper in her voice. Had she been looking long? "I'm sorry if it took awhile to find me!" Sena apologized, a sheepish grin on her face, "I decided to venture into the cold!" Her smile softened, and she placed her hot chocolate beside her. "What would you like?"

"Oh, this school isn’t really like most others. Students are allowed to enter the kitchen themselves and make food if they’d like. Basic lunch is provided for you, but if you’d like extra pre-made items, such as dessert, you have to pay for it. There’s also a variety of other items available for purchase at the school store," Komaeda explained briefly, like a tour guide, then glanced down at Sena looking for a sign that she understood what he’d said.

Once they reached the cafeteria, Sena paused and listened to Komaeda speak. "I know that!" She exclaimed, smiling. "It is a unique school." She listened to the menu, silently noting how cool the system was. So if she wanted to pig out one day, she could go in and make something unusual, she could do it in peace! As if on cue, her tummy rumbled at the thought of dessert. She smiled sheepishly. "I skipped breakfast today." She had been too excited to do any eating!

being rudely interrupted by people who never know where they want to go and have to slam their body into yours. It was kind of erotic-sounding when you phrased it like that, but it was meant to sound uncomfortable and strange and icky because it was! When people got in your space, your first instinct was to lunge away and do something irrational or stupid, like throw your fan handle-first at their eyes or stab them with your ponytails, you don’t know. You’re a fast reactor, so it never gets too intense too quickly, but like hell it had to be today, with delicates freshly clean from the laundromat, that you were harshly bumped into like every other Hope’s Peak student liked to do for some unexplainable reason, and knock you to the floor. Hello darkness your old friend. 'Who is it this time?' You bitch and moan, wiping your behind free of any dirt these animals liked to track in, and adjusted your obi so it wasn’t crushing your ribs. ‘A Super High-School Level Architect? Gardener? Flower arranger, tissue collector, soccer player, sumo wrestler?’ You are sure to sugar-coat your words so they sound curious rather than horribly pissed. You know she wasn’t anywhere in the vicinity, but Grandmother had a sixth sense that blared like an ambulence siren at the slightest hint of crassness emitted from your lips. The last thing you needed was a chastising phone call before you went to bed to thoroughly creep you out, and force you to check your clothes yet again for cameras and mic bugs.

A concerned expression then crossed her face, as she bent forward slightly. "Are you alright, miss?" She bit her lip as she scanned her for any bruises or bumps that she might have caused. "I gave you quite a tumble, didn't I?" She stuck out her hand for help. "I shouldn't have stopped so abruptly. I'm sorry." 

"Ah, alright," Komaeda nodded, turning to leave before she spoke again. He looked back at her, slightly surprised at her offer. "I don’t need anything, but if you insist." He shrugged and smiled at her. It would be rude to object, plus he didn’t have anything else to do today anyway. Besides, this way he could show her around a bit, as the school could be a bit confusing to navigate through anyway.

She waited for the boy to exit her dorm, then promptly locked it. She doubled-checked to make sure it was locked, just for precautions. She didn't think anyone would try to break in, but you can never be too careful! "Er", She looked up at Komaeda, a sheepish smile on her face, "Do you know where it is?"

Komaeda shifted the suitcase around so Sena could access the pocket with the key more easily. He smiled as she reacted to seeing her dorm room for the first time. “Ah, the rooms are all really nice, and the school allows you to redecorate them however you’d like, as long as your roommate is alright with it, I guess.” He entered the room and placed the luggage beside her bed. “Oh, if you ever need me, I’m two doors down from you in room 104. Do you need any help putting anything away, or anything else?” Komaeda even surprised himself with how nice he was acting. It was probably just because it was her first day, and he wished on his first day someone had greeted him at the door and helped him immediately. 

She tapped her chin, then wheeled her suitcases over to what she assumed was her bed. "I can put my things away later", She assured him, pushing the handles down and placing them on top of her bed. I can't just let him leave after all his help, She thought, I've got to do something for him! "Oh", She said suddenly, standing up and smiling, "I've got to do something to repay your help. I could buy you a snack or something?" She smiled, grabbing her purse from the smaller suitcase.

When Sena’s tone shifted, Komaeda couldn’t help but frown a bit. He watched her carefully to see if he could get a good look at her face, but she wouldn’t look up. “Ah, you have nothing to worry about. Everyone here has been very kind to me, and I’m sure they’ll treat you the same. You’ll definitely have no problem making friends, I promise.” Even without seeing her expression, he was easily able to tell how she felt. It was understandable. After all, this was her first day here, and it was never easy switching schools. 

As she looked ahead, she suddenly came to a stop. "101", she muttered out loud, then turned back to Komaeda excitedly. "We're close!" She exclaimed, and continued walking down the hall. "102, 103.." She said the names quietly, speaking in an excited whisper. When they reached room 106, she stopped in front of it. "Oh, my key is in there." She bent down to one of the suitcases, and once it was unzipped, Sena plucked out her room key. She continued to place it in the keyhole, and slowly opened the door. She made a sound of surprise when she saw how roomy it was. "This is bigger than my bedroom back home", she joked. 

"Need any help?" She asked casually, knowing by now that he was stubborn about accepting her help. "If you've got it, then that's fine."

"Mhm," he nodded and kept up his smooth smile. "It’s really handy, especially since your new. You can meet the other new students and together you guys can help each other adjust to your new school life." As he spoke the two continued walking, Komaeda in the lead. He was careful to walk slower than usual so that Sena could keep up. Finally, they reached a sort of atrium, and Komaeda gestured to a hall. "That’s where the dorms are," he clarified as he headed towards the hallway.

"That's a good point", Sena said, glancing back up at Komaeda. Noticing with a start that she was behind, she quickly lengthened her strides to walk beside him. "I hadn't thought about that, but that's a great idea!" She paused to look where he was gesturing. She offered a small hum to acknowledge her understanding. She continued walking beside him down the hallway. "Komaeda-san?" She asked without looking up. "The students here.. are they nice?" Her voice came out small. In her old school, the students were rude and loud, and Sena was only friends with the few shy students. "Probably not as nice as you, of course, but decent?"

"You wanna help me fine. Find this room and take me there." He's a little demanding and bossy. But he just wants to prove hes fine with out his sister or family there.

She glanced behind the boy, and pointed to a staircase nearby. "We take that one first, okay?" Without waiting for an answer from the boy, she starting heading towards the stairs. Once halfway there, she turned around to make sure the boy was actually going to come with her.

The boy watched as Sena got a bit flustered and opened the door for him. “Ah, don’t worry, it’s fine.” He smiled calmly at her before taking a step into the school, lugging the suitcase with him. He turned to wait for her to take her first step into the academy as well,

"Ah! That's right!" She exclaimed. She was about to ask him how he knew before he answered her question for her. "I think that it's great that Hope's Peak puts all of the students on the website. That way I'll be able to greet newcomers and such, right?"

They reached the door, and he almost stopped to open it before realizing he had no hands to do so. “Ah,” he looked a bit weary, and smiled a bit sheepishly. “Could you get the door, please?”

When they reached the door, Sena jumped and hurried to open it. "I'm sorry!" She exclaimed, her face a bit red, "How rude of me!" How could she forget to open it for him? She was having him carry her things, and she didn't even have the sense to open the doors without being asked. Sena made a mental note to make it up later as she held the door open for the boy.

He tugs his suit case close to him. " Sure whatever." He glances to the side a bit. He's nothing but a sour pussy cat.

"Have you been to your dorm yet?" She asked, glancing back up at the boy. "What number is it? I could help you find it, if you'd like."
