As expected, the carrot-haired teen led the group into the Rose Maze to help him paint the remaining white roses that were still uncolored. Cater and his clones were all raring to go and paint the roses red. Cater then turned towards his clones. "Alright, I need all the other me's to take to their own areas~!" he said.

"Okay~♪"

"Leave it to me!"

"Alright!" all the Cater clones said as they each took a can of red paint and paintbrushes, quickly getting to work on the roses. Cater, the real one, then turned towards his group of freshmen. "You first-years are gonna help me out with the trees in this area~♪" he said with a wink.

Ace groaned as he picked up the paintbrush and paint can and walked over to a bush. "I'm so tired of all this manual labor, though..." he complained. "Nothing will start if you just stand around complaining. Just accept your fate." Deuce said as he took out his magic pen.

After he finished one rosebush, he went to another rosebush, silently praying that he'll be able to turn the roses red this time. "Let me just update MagiCam before we get to work... is what I want to say, but let's start before the flowers wilt~!" Cater called out to them before he dipped his brush into the red paint and started painting the roses.

Alice giggled at her friends as she and Kira started to paint their roses, making sure that no surface was left untouched. She would often turn her head to gaze at Ace and Deuce, making sure that they were okay. The memory of that dream from last night had terrified her.

The rage of the Queen of Hearts and the three cards being dragged away to be killed made her think of her best friends and Trey. Though she tried to believe that things would be okay, she had a sinking feeling that it wouldn't be so easy.

Kira went up to Alice. "I seriously don't understand any of this. I mean, the white roses are pretty enough. I don't get why the Queen of Hearts was so obsessed with having only red roses." she said as she splashed some paint on the roses. "Haha. White roses can be lovely, but what can we do?" Alice responded with a slight giggle.

"After all, it is this dorm's tradition and it's only polite that we help uphold them, even if it's nonsense

"After all, it is this dorm's tradition and it's only polite that we help uphold them, even if it's nonsense." Kira gave a small 'hmph' as she moved on towards another rosebush. "If you say so." she said as she painted the roses.
