"..."

"..."

The current situation took an unexpected turn as Mikhail suddenly cornered Siddy, performing a Kabedon move.

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

When Siddy entered the classroom, both of them instinctively turned their heads in a certain direction. Their eyes met, and instant shock spread across their faces as they recognized each other. Mikhail then stood up, walked towards Siddy, and grabbed his wrist, leading him outside of the classroom.

The whole class erupted in murmurs and whispers, trying to make sense of the situation.

"Do they know each other?"

"Maybe."

"Wow, both of the transfer students are good-looking."

"Don't you think they would make a great couple? Hehe," a certain fujoshi commented.

"You and your wild imagination... But I think so too, hehe. One is cute, and the other is tall and handsome," another student added.

"I agree, they seem like a perfect match, heheh."

"I think they must be friends who planned to transfer together."

"Maybe."

"Hmm... Maybe."

"Yeah, and they both seem to be foreigners..."

"Y-You!" Siddy exclaimed, visibly shocked by the person in front of him. "Why do you also have a body?!"

Mikhail stared at Siddy with narrowed eyes. "I was about to ask you the same question," he replied.

Siddy rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "How am I supposed to know? I just woke up finding myself in this body... And besides, I don't want to know."

Mikhail looked at him for a moment and let out a sigh. "Max—"

"My name is Cassidy now! Not Max," Siddy interrupted, reprimanding Mikhail's words as he pouted his lips.

Mikhail frowned and sighed, speaking coldly, "Okay, okay, Cassidy it is... Let me remind you, this is not our body."

Siddy rolled his eyes once again. "Whatever, man. This body is mine now, ever since Cassidy left it... right?"

Siddy added, "Besides, you should consider yourself lucky. Out of all of Xavier's alternate personalities, you also got the chance to have your own body. So, why fuss over such trivial things?"

He looked Mikhail up and down, then smacked away the arms that were trapping him against the wall.

Siddy glanced at Mikhail from the corner of his eyes and said, "I don't care if you don't accept the body you have now, or whatever else you're planning. Just don't involve me..."

Mikhail watched as Siddy walked away and entered the classroom.

Mikhail watched as Siddy entered the classroom, his gaze fixed on Siddy's back.

What Cassidy said was true. Out of all of Xavier's alternate personalities, he was lucky to be given the chance to have his own body. So why should he mind it when the original owner had voluntarily left this body?

As he entered the classroom, the students stopped their guessing and murmuring. Siddy was surrounded by girls who were stretching his face and commenting on how cute he was.

Siddy pouted and turned his head to look at Mikhail, glaring at him resentfully. Mikhail simply lifted his eyebrows, seemingly asking, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" He then proceeded to walk to his chair.

In the background, the girls were shouting with excitement. Siddy turned his head back and muttered aggrievedly, "Why are you shouting like you've seen an idol when you see Mikhail? But when it comes to me, you just pinch my face and treat me like a child! It's unfair! I'm a good-looking guy too!" He shouted unreasonably, while the girls laughed and teasingly responded, "Yeah, yeah, you're really good-looking. It's just that Mikhail is so handsome, while you're cute like a baby. You're acting like a child right now too!" One of the girls grinned and pinched his cheeks again.

Siddy deep inside: ( ͠° ͟ ͜ʖ ͡ ͠°)...

Meanwhile, Mikhail looked in Siddy's direction, seated in the first row near the door. In his mind, he couldn't help but think about Max, or rather, Siddy. He found Siddy to be quite charming and still displaying his childish nature, just as before. Lost in his thoughts, he turned his head to gaze out the window.

In the funeral, a man wearing a bodyguard uniform approached the middle-aged man and asked, "Sir, should we go now?"

The man raised his hand, signaling for them to go ahead without him. The bodyguard bowed respectfully and walked out.

The man then turned his attention to the gravestone and spoke softly, "Sir, I may not have been able to save you, but I promise to find your—"

He paused, bowing his head, before continuing on his way.

(Extra: Why Siddy knows Mikhail's name.)

When Siddy entered the classroom, a group of girls swarmed around him.

Girl one: Hey, are you two friends?

Girl two: Yeah! Are you friends with Mikhail?

Siddy paused for a moment, then smiled mischievously. He playfully tapped his plump, rosy red lips and muttered, "So his name is Mikhail now."

He looked at the girls, still smiling, and said, "Yes, actually, we were very close. We were so close that I even took a shower with him before" (referring to when they were still in Xavier's body). However, he spoke in an ambiguous way, leaving it open to interpretation.

The girls in the corner, who happened to be fujoshis, overheard and misunderstood it. They exclaimed inside of their minds, "Oh my, they even took showers together!" Their imaginations ran wild, envisioning R19 scenes, resulting in flushed faces and nosebleeds.
