TW / CW : Slight mentions of S3lf H4rm and Su1c1d3

Walking up the stairs to the house, Shizuka and Tohru share a conversation before they hear a feminine voice in distress screaming out loud

"Octo-Sensei!!!"

Tohru looks back to the distressed figure and calls out

"Oh , Mitchan-san.."

And stops abruptly as the working girl runs by. Just then another voice screams in the distance

"Oh no!"

Running to the house in a hurry to see what the commotion was , the two girls see yet again another feminine-like figure standing in front of the house door with books scattered all over the ground saying

"My bag! The bottom of my bag broke!"

Running over to help , Shizuka says

"We'll help you with these!"

The figure says

"N-No, that's too much to ask.."

Grabbing the rest of the books on the ground, Tohru disagrees with the statement

"Nonsense, we help each other when we're in trouble."

As the Green-Haired girl dusts the books , the figure responds

"I'm sorry. I always cause nothing but trouble to the people around me."

Standing up to give the books to the figure, the Third Year girl stops in her tracks surprised as the figure continues

"I'm already sorry for just breathing. And here I am, making you two help me. I'm terribly sorry. I'll apologize! I'll apologize to the whole world! I'm sorry!"

Trying to stop the figure in front of her , the Third Year girl interrupts

"H-Hey! Wait, Wait! E-Everything's fine! You don't have to apologize Ri-"

Before she could finish, the younger girl asks

"Are you Ritchan-San?"

The figure, in shock, screams yet again

"Oh no! Even a stranger knows my name! Am I that infamous?!"

Shizuka attempts to calm down Ritsu

"Hey, I-It's all a misunderstanding!"

Despite saying this, the Orange-Haired figure continues

"I've been living in careless ignorance this whole time!"

The brunette says

"Oh no, it's.."

Before the two girls had said anything else, Shigure opens the door to ask

"Oh? Why are you here, Ritchan?"

Upon hearing his voice, silence between them had occurred for a second before the asked figure bursts yet again

"I apologize! Someone like me shouldn't be visiting! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Drying her hair as she arrives back in the living room, Shizuka hears from the black-haired man

"This is rare. You're usually pretty timid, but you decided to visit."

Ritsu responds to this

"Y-Yes, I'm sorry. I caused so much trouble for both Tohru-San and Shizuka-San earlier."
