A/N: It was stated in the official Twisted Wonderland manga (don't ask for the link because I don't have it, I just know this from reading about it somewhere on Tumblr and from my own exposure to spoilers of it) that Twisted Wonderland does not take place in Japan, and they're not speaking Japanese.

I mean they are, but that's not what the language is called in Twisted Wonderland, but no matter how much I search, I can't actually find what they call the common language (Japanese) in that Universe.

So for the sake of convenience, I will just be referring to it as "the common language", as well as acknowledging they're using "romaji" and "kanji". I hope this makes sense!

Also there's like- barely any dialogue this time 💀

Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy this useless chapter!

Surprisingly, Professor Trein actually lets Kalim and Jamil sit with you all for lunch detention. Unsurprisingly, you were all forced to sit in separate parts of the room.

The reason he had let Kalim and Jamil stay was because Kalim was falling behind in his history class, so it was a good time for Kalim to review his notes. Jamil stayed because...

You don't know. Maybe it's a Kalim and Jamil thing?

Either way, whatever privilege it was allowed them to sit with each other on the front row on the very left corner. Ace sat at the very back on the right corner, you and Deuce sat together on the left side in the back with Ace. And Grim was in the middle of the room alone. Though he was napping on the chair since he knocked himself into a food coma.

"This is the ugliest circle formation I've ever seen," You whisper to Deuce who sat on your right.

"Circle...?" He looks around the class, "It doesn't really look like a circle, though..."

"...Huh?"

"I'm just saying it doesn't look much like a circle, it looks more like we're forming a rhombus."

"Okay, fine," You roll your eyes, "Rhombus of Terror, Circle of Confusion, Parabola of Mystery. Who cares?!"

Actually, you and Deuce sat together because Professor didn't want you to make a mess of the food and you didn't have a tray of your own.

Oh how the world works in your favor.

You point to Deuce's magic pen that was in his breast pocket. He looks at you curiously before giving it to you.

It's... heavier than you expected. The dull magic stone around your neck wasn't heavy, so you expected the pen to be light as well. Was it because it was actually concentrated with magic? Did that factor into anything-

Something bumps into your arm, making you look down. It was a small, balled up paper. You look up at Professor Trein with a raised brow. He looked busy with grading papers, and Lucious was sleeping on his desk.

You look around the room, making eye contact with Kalim who sat four rows in front of you. He grins and waves, so you wave back.

You take the paper and unfold it,  deadpanning at what's on it.

It's Kanji.

You can't read Kanji.

You flip the paper over and look at Deuce.

"Wifey, translate this for me," You whisper to him.

He leans closer to read the small scribbles. Very quietly, he tells you. "Hm... it says, "how are you doing today?" Who wrote this to you?"
