[We're just going to say for simplicity's sake that someone let him in after he showed up, because well, let's be honest, would Kirigiri be willing to let him in if she were the one to get the door? It is a mystery. A SHSL mystery.
Either way, Byakuya Togami is hanging out at your place today, Kirigiri. Have fun with that.]
[ it was probably Austria or Yukimura that let him in on their way out of the house, seeing as they usually don't interfere with who she associates with. she's been in her room for the day reading some material she got from the library, and was surprised to see that she had a visitor.
upon coming down the stairs, she's even more surprised to see that the visitor is Togami. there is something extremely wrong with this picture. ]
[Something very wrong, yes. And that something goes by the name of Touko Fukawa. Since it's not like he can spend his time reading books in places she can't access like the boys' locker room, he's taken to spending his days out in various places around Holly Heights. And since there were things to discuss with Kirigiri, as well, her house is a great place to hide away from stinky girls with a serial killer as their split personality.]
We have things to discuss. Somewhere less open might be preferable.
[There was one thing (well, several things) he didn't mention at that meeting for a reason. Why he's talking to Kirigiri? Who knows. Most likely as a repayment for that meeting, since that meeting did give him some things he hadn't learned before.]
If you haven't already, speak with Chiaki Nanami. You can thank me later.
[ that was her aim - for everyone to learn things that they didn't know before, but to also gain a possible upper hand. she doesn't know how much Junko does or does not know, but she wanted to be able to level the playing field a little.
the info she received from Chiaki Nanami gave her just that. ]
No need; I already have. I've been meaning to speak with you and Naegi-kun about it... Bringing it up at the meeting would have been problematic.
[Would it give them an upper hand? Well, perhaps only in the sense that Junko might not have expected them to know. Because if that was who those students were, and Junko was the only one that knew what really happened, there's no doubt she's already aware of them being here, who they are, and trying to find some way to use them for her gain.]
To say the least. Did she tell you anything beyond who those students are?
[ wrapped neatly in a box is a beautiful pair of leather gloves. inside is a card with some insanely childish dinosaur speaking of outliving the stone age or something lame. but there's some text: ]
kirigiri-chan! i hope you have a great birthday. i hope we grow to become closer and i am very glad to see you here. you're very smart and that's something i look up to a whole bunch.
ps: naegi helped pick this out, so i gotta make sure he gets credit too! :)
He's been buy in the morning, when he was on his way to work, and dropped off a box on her kitchen table - yes everything is just as locked as it was before, but it's still in there, blame his powers - containing (maybe not very pretty, but completely edible and hopefully not bad tasting; they're obviously home made) coffee cakes and ; and there's an accompanying note as well, in an envelope with to Kyouko on it.
Belated happy birthday.
If you drop by the bookshop I'll let you choose some titles to take home, since I don't know what genres you like.
[He doesn't need to or want to explain himself, because no matter what, that's always going to be how he is. What he does want, though, as per usual, is answers.]
Are you free tonight? [Not. Exactly the usual kind of question he demands answers to.]
[ she expected as much. the prospect of texting him had been floating around her head since this morning, but it doesn't look like she has to worry about that now.
a little too quickly than she'd like to admit, she replies: ]
( maka doesn't know anything about this kyouko person besides the fact that she's a female. and giving another girl a present is way easier than giving a boy present. at least, she think so. anyway, there will be a box outside her door with her name attached to it. inside this said box is a pink teddy bear. because it's cute and we girls like cute things, yes? there will be a card too inside the book that says," Happy Holidays, Ms. Kyouko! - Love, Secret Santa!" )
[At least this is someone he can shop for! ... Sorta... Granted it's still Kirigiri and still a difficult feat, but it is someone he's mostly familiar with. So a gift box arrives, inside is a small leather pocket notebook/planner, and a note!]
Kirigiri-san
Thank you for all the help. I don't know if I would still be around if it wasn't for you [Even though it's still a possibility here apparently--] and I hope you have a great holiday.
I got you a notebook to keep notes in. You never know when something like that could come in handy. Granted, there aren't many mysteries here to solve, it could still help in that regard too.
Either way, I really appreciate all you've done for me and our classmates, so the least I could do was pick you up something for Christmas. I hope that our friendship will continue to grow in the coming year.
Thank you again, and Happy Holidays, and sincerely - Makoto Naegi
[This small package contains fingerprint powder and the newest fingerprinting kit. The card is a nondescript one but the handwriting is very neat and formal.
[outside on Kirigiri's porch, she should find a bottle of (very nice) wine, with a note attached. No, this isn't a gift to woo her, it's quite the opposite. Now that he's back to his usual rude self, that is.
"You might have just as much use for this as I do."
There's no name on it, but it should be simple for a SHSL detective to deduce who the sender is.]
[ Like on her birthday, the package has found its way indoors, rather than into the mailbox. Special powers, and all that. There's a note attached that reads from yukihina to kyouko and inside the wrapped box there's a filofax and a pen. Of course, he doesn't know if she has any filofax already, but it's always good to have a spare, at least. And pens get lost, so this one has a chain so she can hang it around her neck for easy access. Because pockets gets holes and all that. ]
[Sitting somewhere Kirigiri will find it (who knows where), there's a macaron wrapped up in a napkin. The napkin also happens to have a note written on it, because he's not wasting paper here. There's no name on the note, but between the demanding tone of the letter and handwriting she may or may not have seen, it's not difficult to figure out who it's from.]
[Kirigiri's invitation comes promptly and prettily on simple, but elegant purple and blue paper with an envelope to match. It reads: Kyouko Kirigiri-san, You are cordially invited to the combined and totally popping birthday celebration of miss Chiaki Nanami and miss Rahzel Anadis on Sunday, June 1st. The party will take place at the Zoological Gardens where guests are encouraged to partake in the delicious snacks provided at the cafe and mingle through the animal exhibits. We hope to see you there!]
[True to his word, Kirigiri will find a bill for Togami's dry cleaning in her mailbox. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it to spite Kirigiri? Well, knowing him, that's questionable. She's free to make her own opinion on that.]
action;
Either way, Byakuya Togami is hanging out at your place today, Kirigiri. Have fun with that.]

You don't have to eat it since it's originally from the landlord, but do so if you want to.

Eat this so I can see what happens.
