Eventually, the teens bade each other good night and went their separate ways. Seeing as how both Ace and Deuce were banned from coming back to Heartslabyul until tomorrow, the boys headed back to the Ramshackle Dorm with the girls.

The girls still wanted to prepare themselves for the inevitable, so the group spent the next hour strategizing a clever plan of attack against Riddle. Considering how none of them had ever seen him use magic, other than his unique magic, there were still a lot of bases to cover.

But halfway through it all, Alice started to get anxious and redid a few steps a few dozen times that Ace, Deuce and her dormmates had to sit her down and calm her. They reassured her that things would be alright and that their plan would work.

In all honesty, Alice was terrified of the outcome, but she knew she had to trust her friends...and herself. And so, after carefully going over the plan one more time, it was time to get some sleep. Fortunately for the boys, the girls had cleaned out two rooms as best as they could, so now they could be more comfortable.

Ace, Deuce, Grim and the other girls had long since fallen asleep in their beds, but Alice couldn't. She lay awake in her bed, staring up at the ceiling. She was anxious about what would happen during tomorrow's events.

Worried thoughts ran through her mind. What if everything goes wrong? What if something terrible happens to everyone? Her heart trembled at the thought of her friends getting hurt. She tossed and turned in her bed, trying to get some sleep, but those troublesome thoughts still lingered in her mind.

"...Can't sleep?" a voice whispered. Alice blinked and saw Kira looking at her. She then slowly shook her head. "No... I guess...I'm pretty much still worried about my friends." Alice whispered.

"I only know that Riddle-san can seal magic away, but we still don't have any clues on what he was capable of. Not to mention the-." She quickly stopped herself as Kira looked at her with even more worry. Alice wasn't sure if she should even mention those strange dreams that she had.

She then quickly shook her head. "No, it's nothing. I'm just scared for my dearest friends. I don't want them to get hurt." she said. Kira nodded. "Yeah, I understand." she said. "Those two can be real knuckleheads sometimes, but they don't deserve to be treated like that."
