Within the extravagantly chaotic walls of the Sakamaki mansion, madness had once again seized control over what should've been a peaceful, moonlit evening.

In the meticulously organized solitude of his study, Reiji struggled to decipher a letter from their father, Karlheinz. Pale magenta eyes narrowed irritably behind impeccably polished spectacles as yet another shrill scream punctuated his brief moment of peace.

"Six centuries of disciplining these idiots," he seethed quietly, fingers tightening around the parchment, "and still they behave like sugar-fueled toddlers."

Meanwhile, on a velvet sofa in the grand living area, Shu sprawled listlessly, earbuds securely drowning out reality. Whether genuinely oblivious or just expertly uncaring was anyone’s guess; with Shu, either scenario seemed plausible.

His isolation abruptly ended as Kanato flung open a door with hysterical force, Teddy clutched protectively against his chest while tears streamed dramatically down porcelain-pale cheeks.

"AYATO!" Kanato’s voice cracked with despair. "THIS IS GOING TOO FAR! LEAVE TEDDY OUT OF THIS!"

On cue, Ayato burst after him, brandishing an impressively large beetle in one hand like a trophy. He cackled maniacally, thoroughly enjoying Kanato’s distress. "C'mon, Crybaby! Even Teddy agrees you and Bugsy here are a perfect match!"

Kanato’s anguished howls reached window-shattering octaves, "YOU HEARTLESS DEVIL!"

Outside in the gardens, Subaru stood beneath the moonlight, releasing a perfectly brooding sigh of teenage angst. His eyes narrowed moodily into the distance.

Upstairs in blissful ignorance, Laito lounged comfortably in his dimly lit room, grinning mischievously at the porn video illuminating his device. "Oh, la la~ Humans never disappoint, do they?"

Finally pushed beyond all resilience, Reiji snapped the parchment shut and stormed from his sanctuary. Throwing open the mansion doors dramatically, he found Ayato standing victorious atop the grand piano, waving his unfortunate beetle, while Kanato sobbed against velvet curtains with suspiciously smeared mascara.

"Ayato! Kanato!" Reiji’s icy tone halted them immediately. "Explain yourselves this instant!"

Ayato paused mid-wave, a sheepish grin fixed defiantly in place. "Uh...sharing brotherly affection?"

Kanato peeled from the drapery, dramatically choking back sobs. "He intends to feed poor Teddy to that ruthless monster! Is there no limit to the cruelty of this world?"

From the sofa, Shu cracked open a lazy eye and drawled softly, "Pathetic."

"Enough!" Reiji’s voice sharpened like polished steel. "Father’s letter informs me we have a visitor shortly. Is maintaining decorum truly too high a standard for you two buffoons?"

"Decorum?" Ayato snorted maliciously. "Never heard of her. Sounds boring."

"Teddy agrees completely!" Kanato whimpered theatrically, pressing the stuffed bear to his ear. "We don't even know what that word means!"

With a weary sigh, Reiji adjusted his gloves threateningly, gazing pointed daggers at his brothers. "Honestly, it's impressive you've survived this long without a fatal cup of tea. Clean up your act immediately, or I promise unpleasant consequences."

As Reiji swept away disdainfully, Ayato leaned in conspiratorially toward Kanato, whispering proudly, "I'm definitely putting this beetle in his tea later."

Kanato gasped in horror—and intrigue. "No. Let’s find something bigger. Perhaps a tarantula."
