The other three Aths gather the student's plates, and Vuyh gathers together before shrinking to its chakram form. It drifts around the corner in a hurry.
"Here's the butter.", a clone scowls.
"Don't throw it at me, moron!", the one holding the pan catches it. Butter squeaks between his fingers as he clenches his fist.
"I'll get the steak...", a different clone wobbles toward the fridge like a penguin.
"Do you have any preferences or something?", an Ath asks with his arms crossed.
"I guess it's fine as long as it isn't chewy.", Nobara shrugs.
"Medium rare it is.", another Ath drags him by the arm.
"Just get it done.", Megumi's eyes close under a heavy sigh.
"What he said.", Sukuna sneers.
"Don't rush or you will mess up.", Sen walks up to the clones
"Will you shut up already?!", plates hit the sink as they're dropped from up high.
"Yeah, you should be grateful, we could've refused altogether.", an Ath pours sake in Qwin's glass says.
Meanwhile, the chakram taps the bathroom door while letting out a faint hum.
"Come in... Vuyh...", Aky's mumble manages to squeeze past the door.
The Cadescing Ether shrinks and flattens, slipping through the gap between the wood and tiles.
Outside, insects go silent, the winds stops as if it never blew, some trees go still at an angle, and the world halts.
