"Looks like we'll have to make another trip to Yuka Music for Maya-chan," Robin said. "I'm assuming Tamal-kun will take bass then? Unless Cordelia-chan wants to."

He continued playing while Robyn and Alex continued practicing.

 

Robin and Robyn smiled at Tamal's enthusiasm. After the first run-through of the song, Robyn said to Tamal, "Maya-chan has the chord chart with her. I think you've checked it out already? I can print another copy for you upstairs if you'd like."

On the other hand, Robin was one of those people who could tell Alex wanted to speak up about something. "Hey, everything okay?"

 

Before Robin could press Alex for more answers, he was interrupted by Robyn pausing her dance momentarily so that she could grab her guitar and hand it to Tamal. "Here you go, Tamal-kun! Best to practice with a guitar while you have the chance," she said with a smile. "You should be able to get used to it. It's in key of G, so... very simple."

After Robyn had handed her guitar over, Robin tried talking to Alex again. If he didn't know better, there was a certain lonely vibe that Alex was giving. "Likewise," he said to her.

Robyn then walked over to Alex and Robin. "Righto. Shall we take this from the top again?"

Morgan giggled at being addressed by the girl who really wasn’t that much taller than her. So this was how smol Nora was!

“Of course you can, Nora onee-chan! It’s really a shame there isn’t one down here, but that’s why there’s one above! I’ll get you a lemon puff too,” Morgan said.

Having finished her shioyaki, she hopped onto her feet to lead Nora back to the front door and to the stairs on the right (all while Robyn and Robin were unaware of this).

Nora would find herself at the top of the stairs afterward, with the kitchen and dinner table in front of her, the living room to the space on her right, and - to the left - a short hallway leading to three bedrooms. The bathroom was in the middle of the hallway.

“Right over there, Nora onee-chan,” Morgan pointed at the bathroom door. “I’ll be heading back down.” (But she didn’t actually go downstairs yet until she grabbed a lemon puff)

As Nora entered the guest room, she would find herself seeing several things that would be considered a little girly for Robin and a little mature for Morgan. There was a bed positioned before the window with an enormous Genshin-style Slime plushie, a Poketto plushie of Tepig, and very adorable cushions on top (with patterns of pink and white). Moreover there was a Meloetta doll before the pillow in addition to the plushies.

There was also a desk complete with a lamp and laptop, a stack of shoujo manga (including the latest volume of Culinary Rivals, which arguably was or was not a shoujo), some beauty or skincare products (would Robin or Morgan actually use these?) and a bookshelf half-full of books. Figurines lined up on the edge of the window and on the other half of the bookshelf (which included protagonists from Poketto and Generals of Hyrule), with a poster of the Uta-loid Hatsune Miku. Lastly, there was what appeared to be a notebook beside the laptop (which really was a support log), along with a vaguely familiar Poketto notebook, and a closet built into the wall across the window.

Hanged on the closet door was a girls' Plegia City School uniform and - if Nora looked even more closely - she would find lots of girls' clothes that were clearly too big for Morgan (let alone Nora herself) as well as a cosplay of White (the female player character from Poketto White).

What kind of guest room was this?! For a guest room, it was almost like someone lived here.

Just when everyone seemed to be ready to practice Tiny Stars again and that the bass part had been settled, Maya raised the issue that Nora appeared to be missing. Then everyone else, including Robyn and Robin, became conscious that their violinist was not in their presence. That caused them to temporarily halt their session.

“Um… She can’t just disappear like that,” Robin said. “Unless she stepped out?”

“Oh! Onii-chan!” Morgan soon reappeared at the door from the foyer, with a box of lemon puffs for everyone no less. “No need to worry. Nora onee-chan needed to use the bathroom, so I showed her upstairs.”

“You wha-? I… I see,” Robin replied, his voice trying to remain as calm as possible. Beside him, Robyn was trying hard to not show panic in her eyes. Then Robin said, “Excuse me, I’ll check if she is up there then.”

He walked out of the door towards the staircase - at normal pace at first. But by the time he turned to go upstairs Robin had sprinted up and turned to the hallway to find the bathroom door open and the lights out. Wait… Could Nora possibly be in Morgan’s, his, or Robyn’s bedroom?!

Crap.

He had been through battles in the Halidom before, but this sort of battle was looking like one he couldn’t win. “Nora-chan?” he called. “You around?” At once his mind tried to create different kinds of conspiracies to explain things, whatever things Nora might ask.

 

('Some things' like holding their chopsticks in the same manner or eating at the exact same pace? Oh man, I can only imagine a fanart where Nora and Kai are playing Evo Quest together)

At this point, Robin rushed to check the bedrooms at the end of the hallway. His bedroom to the left, Robyn's to the left front, and Morgan's to the right. Only Morgan's bedroom door was closed, and his and Robyn's were open. Briefly, he peered into each room to look for any possibility that Nora was in them. No one was in Morgan's room - instead Robin found a lot of tomes. Then he walked across to check his own room. His figurines and plushies were where they were supposed to be, along with his support log, books, laptop, and schoolbag.

He smiled as he thought back to how long he had lived in this room, and how long Robyn had started living in the room beside. Then he went to push open the door to Robyn's room to see if anyone was in there. There better not be!

Robin was only met by deafened silence when he walked into Robyn's room. He chuckled at the sight of the Slime plushie, as he remembered the painful lengths he had gone through to win the plushie for her. Those were good times, and looking back, he remembered it was one of those instances where he grew closer to Robyn. But seeing that Nora was not in Robyn's room, Robin breathed a sigh of relief. At least that was one thing to not worry about (or so he thought).

"Nora-chan?" he called as he stepped out of the room.

On the floor below, Morgan was happily handing out her lemon puffs to Cordelia and others while she watched the practice. Even though she had a sadistic side in crushing people with tomes, it was very sweet of her to be handing out treats like this. Even Robyn gladly took the one Morgan offered her.

(Fun fact: the Slime plushie episode occurred in Robyn's B-support story)

 

(Going to assume Robin walked as far as the living room because that’s the spot where his back will be facing the stairs)

Based on the fact that she could hear the unusually loud thumping noise of the stairs, Robyn guessed something must have happened while Nora was upstairs.

“Oh hey, Nora-chan. Welcome back! Are you okay? You look like you’ve seen a ghost,” Robyn greeted as the younger Hansen reappeared at the lower floor, right as she was about to practice Tiny Stars again.

Morgan went up to Nora after serving Kai his. “Here, Nora-neechan. Have a lemon puff.”

Neither did it take long for Robin to appear after. Looking at Nora, whose face looked pale unless he was imagining it, he added, “Uh, is everything okay, everyone? Or can I get anyone a drink?”
