(The Next Morning – Monday)
Inside a deep dark room drape in shadows, there lied a white and black haired boy on his bed wearing a peaceful face, oblivious to the oncoming depression of school.
He lied down on his bed for a few more minutes until rays of light entered his room, directly hitting his blank face as his eyes started to move, indicating the equilibrium between his state of sleep and awakening.
"Gasp! Its Monday!" said by the heterochromatic haired person of black and white as he shot out off his bed as he looks at his phone with wide and stressed eyes.
"Shit! What time is it already? Phew, its still 5 am, I thought I lost my biological clock there for a sec" muttered by the person as he ruffled his own hair while he yawned, indicating his tired mental state.
"Hmm, should I change my hair color back? But how will I explain this to Nari when she suddenly sees my hair reverting back to black? Sigh, it would bring more attention to me in class but everyone should have some noticeable changes to them with the quirk event, gah, fate will decide how my school life will go. Yawn, its still very early today so I guess I can shitpost on Twatter, oh yeah, what happened to Kaleido?" muttered by Rintarou as he once again lied down on his comfy bed and opened his phone while a ball of light flew out of his palm and went to his ceiling, acting as a source of light for he was too lazy to turn on the switch.
"As expected, its all according to keikaku" said by the person in a lazy tone as he saw his videos and pictures received over a hundred thousand likes, his Kaleido account on Twatter now has over 10k in a span of a day and more as he saw tons of people was talking about him online.
"Hehehe, there's already so much conspiracy theories like Isekai, returnee, cgi, quirks, time travel" said by Rintarou as he chuckled and watch the world go into an uproar for his fun little ARG of sorts.
"Hmm, does Nari also go to school? Like she already has a job so maybe no, meh, I'll still make her a bento box for lunch, its kinda weird how I became her own cook but at least I have someone who can appreciate my food" muttered by Rintarou as he lied down on his bed, enjoying the cozy and cold weather.
(A Few Hours Later)
Inside a kitchen, Rintarou could be seen wearing an apron over his casual clothes while he looks at two identical bento boxes lying on the table in front of him.
"Finally finish, one for me and one for Nari, I already also made her breakfast so might as well wake her up" thought by Rintarou as he grabs a plate of food and also Nari's bento box as he headed out to the cold snow.
"Oi Nari! Its already 6:30! Its time to wake up! I made you breakfast!" shouted by Rintarou as he heard a shout of surprise coming from Nari's voice upstairs.
"Coming!" shouted by Nari from her room up stairs as he heard rapid footsteps tapping on the hard floor, and after a while, the door opened with Nari's unkempt appearance, indicating that she just woke up.
"Thank you Rintarou" said by Nari with a wry smile as she grabs the plate but look at the bento box in confusion.
"What's that?" ask by Nari while pointing at the bento box.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to ask but do you go to school?" ask by Rintarou.
"Yeah" said by Nari.
"Great! I made you a bento box for lunch" said by Rintarou with a smile.
"Oh! Thank you!" said by Nari with a wide smile.
"No problem, well I gotta go, I still have school and I usually go out early out of habit" said by Rintarou as he headed back to his house, leaving Nari looking at his back with a contemplative face.
"Uwah, its time to take a shower" muttered by RIntarou as he grabs a towel and went to his bathroom and took a shower for a few minutes and headed outside and look at himself in the mirror.
"Huh, I kinda expected some ancient archaic runes of space time that glows in a white and black light to just sprout out of nowhere throughout my whole body, I guess it only affects my hair and eyes" muttered by RIntarou as he took out a pair of clothes from his drawer and put on his Seoul High winter uniform.
"Hmm, the winter uniform is really cozy in this cold weather" muttered by Rintarou as he felt the high quality materials touching his skin, bringing it a feeling of a cool touch that doesn't make someone uncomfortable, it consist of a long sleeve white colored shirt tied with a red tie covered with a black blazer draping over the clothes with the Seoul High school symbol embroidered into the chest, acting as a symbol of pride of sorts. The pants is just a simple black pants with a thicker feel to it that protects the fragile legs from the cold.
"Uwah, goodbye RIntarou Okabe, welcome Okabe Rintarou of Seoul High" said by Rintarou as his face became emotionless and cold as he put on some glasses.
"Hello" said by Rintarou while he waves to the mirror with a monotone voice as he looks like the otaku at school, a loser in fact.
For Rintarou was indeed the weird little boy, he felt the need to act different in school, even with his family. He even hid the fact he works out for years to his family and when he was "expose", he felt a huge amount of embarrassment.
"God, that was so weird! Why do I even do this in the first place!" said by Rintarou as he looks at the mirror with a wry smile.
"Enough about that, the status quo has been like this for years already since middle school, I am the lonely otaku in school with no friends and I will let fate decide if I continue this act or go by my true self" muttered by Rintarou as he took a deep breathe and went back to his school persona while grabbing his school bag from the side.
"Don't be naughty Aranea, okay! You have the portal to your friends back in my dimension so you can just visit them when you're feeling lonely" said by Rintarou to Aranea who was inside its cage.
Aranea then nodded inside her cage as Rintarou nodded.
"Goodbye then! Take care of the house for me" said by Rintarou as he went out of his room and walk out of his house and took in a deep breathe.
"Its time for Okabe Rintarou to go back to the wilder stage of this theatrical play!" said by Rintarou as his face became blank and started to walk to school.
AN: Now we get to see more of Rintarou and his weird traits. The next arc will be more focus on character development and surprise, some action.
Writing is hard, so send me some of that sweet juicy power stones to not let the Sword of Damocles drop and incur one of the greatest tragedies in your life.
