(A/N: My art)

(3rd Person POV)

"Ugh..." Mania let out a soft groan as she opened her eyes. She stared at the ceiling of her room, the sound of Garfield purring nearby faintly reaching her ears. She slowly blinked every few seconds. Huh, she's home. She's...

Mania quickly sat up with a sharp gasp, startling Garfield awake. Her eyes were wide as she looked around,

"I-I'm home?! But how?? I- I was...!" She felt her abdomen where Phoebe had stabbed her. She paused... nothing? She pulled up her shirt. No bandages, no blood, nothing. She's... fully healed?

"W-Was it a dream...?" She asked softly. She then shook her head,

"No... no it couldn't have been. The Battler party, Celthin, ...fuck." She held her head as she got up. She looked around with a sigh before petting Garfield,

"Where's... where's Yu?" She muttered confused. Garfield meowed in reply as she shook her head. She then noticed her phone beside her and took it. She stared at it for a moment before checking the time,

"It's already noon? Kalego's probably gonna kill me for missing class..." she sighed before checking her contacts. Seeing both Owadas as (still) her only contacts, she took a breath. Tapping on the older Owada's name, she dialed him,

"...pick up pick up..." she muttered. Thankfully, she didn't have to wait long, as the moment the first ring faded, the call was answered. Mania perked up,

"Dai—"

"MANIAAAAAAAA!!!" The shout rang through Mania's ears, causing her to pull the phone away from her ear as she winced,

"Owwwwww..." she whined, holding her ringing ears. She could hear Daiya rambling over the phone,

"You're awake! Are you okay?? Did the old man hurt you?? How's your magic? Anything hurting?" He rambled on and on. Once the ringing in her ears ceased, Mania sighed and put the phone back against her ear,

"Daiya, calm down... seriously..." she scolded him, muttering, "you nearly made me go deaf..." afterward. Daiya took a shaky breath,

"S-Sorry, Mania. Are you okay??" He asked again,

"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied, stepping out of her room. She looked around; Yusuke wasn't anywhere near currently so she decided to go down to the kitchen for something to eat,

"What happened? All I remember was Half-n-Half stabbing me then... things went black."

"You changed her nickname..." Daiya muttered with a soft laugh. Mania shrugged with a hum as she heard another voice in the background, just as loud,

"Is that Mondo?"

"Yea, hold on." Daiya's voice became much quieter as Mania searched the cabinets. Finding a granola bar, she took it out of the cabinet to eat it. After a moment, Mondo (over the phone) shouted,

"MANIA!!" Causing her to flinch and cough on her granola bar, dropping it too,

"Ach! Fuck! Do you two just have no chill!?" She asked angrily. She could hear sheepish apologies from Mondo before he sighed,

"My bad... are you okay?"

"Well my granola bar is on the ground." Mania grimaced, picking up the dropped food and tossing it in the trash,

"So is everyone alright?"

"Yeah. Celthin was arrested and Phoebe's cleaning up. The chair-demon said we could have the days off until she's done." Mondo explained. Mania nodded relieved,
