Lada and ibrahim have already slept, while míngxīng was the only one wide wake at this ungodly hour of the night, it seems he doesn’t sleep often because his magic allows him to, so yeah he’s kinda a power abuser.
As the sun rises, its light going through the windows to reflect on their faces, the birds wake up, chipping all around.
The windows can be seen opening, people from everywhere going out to work or school, some going on their daily walks with headphones in.
As ibrahim wakes up, her rubs his eyes then stares out the window, trying to appreciate the view outside for a moment but he just stops and washes his face then gets a hair tie out of his travel bag and puts his hair in a ponytail.
Ibrahim knocked on Lada’s door first and she just told him to use his spare key, which yes he did get spare ones since he’s the responsible one and you can’t really trust Lada when she’s alone, ibrahim came in Lada’s room, Lada was laying on her bed with the blanket over her entirely, she seemed to be a little depressed, but Ibrahim looked like he has dealt with this before.
“Did you take your medicine?” Ibrahim said, he crossed his arms over his chest, a little concerned. “I don’t want to, just.. leave me alone.” Lada said between her and herself but she didn’t say it out loud. “I-I did….” She said, She seemed nervous and like she just made an answer up, which yeah she probably did.
Ibrahim just sighed and went to his room to grab something then he returned with a bottle of medicine. He gets closer to the bed and opens the medicine can. “We both know you didn’t, so there’s no need to try and cover it up..I get you hate taking it but it’s just in your favour in the long run.” Ibrahim said. Lada finally got out of her blanket and put her head in her hands. “I don’t like taking medicine! I-“ “in fact.. I-I don’t even need it!! Th-there’s nothing wrong with me..!!” Lada said, Her voice was shaky like she was lying to herself to feel better, which is a common thing in her disorder. She didn’t seem like she’s crying but did seem like she was having a psychological meltdown.
“There’s something wrong but…. No! There isn’t! Why would I think of something so impossible!” She said between her and herself, a part of her seemed to Believe she was sane which is yeah.. questionable.

Ibrahim just sighed and gave her a look of concern with a little confusion in the mix, he didn’t know how to properly handle her depressed episodes, as he mostly sees her in her manic episodes.
He can’t think of another answer other than throwing the pill in her mouth, so he waits till she finally faces him, she looks at the bottle then at his expression and seems upset with both. “Leave..I don’t wanna take those..the-” Lada said, and before she finishes her sentence Ibrahim puts the pill on her tongue, she gets visibly shocked and wide eyed at his audacity, as he just stares at her with a semi dull expression, “the audacity of this man..” she said between her and herself, then her shock turns to anger and she kicks him straight in the leg. “LEAVE! I DON’T WANNA SEE YOUR FACE EVER AGAIN, EVER.IF YOU SHOWED YOUR FACE NEAR ME AGAIN I WILL PULL OUT THOSE COLD, INSENSITIVE EYES OF YOURS!!” She yelled and yea it’s obvious she wasn’t really happy with that.. “IF YOU STAY JUST A SECOND LONGER I AM SMASHING THAT HEAD OF YOURS IN THE WALL TILL I SEE YOUR SKULL!!” She yelled again.
Ibrahim understood her response, it was a manic episode. He just took the pills and left, he went to míngxīng’s room, when he opened the door, míngxīng was already fully dressed, prepared and sitting on the bed, looking at the ceiling with his knees to his chest and his arms around his legs.
“How early did you prepare?” Ibrahim said, he was more curious than concerned. “When you stay awake all night you have no other choice.” Míngxīng just looked at him, his face was really blank, he surprisingly didn’t have eye bags. “You could’ve just slept, míngxīng.” Ibrahim said, he was a little disappointed with míngxīng’s behaviour. “I don’t need to.. even if I wanted to I feel like I can.” Said míngxīng. “You can’t just depend on feelings in this life, you have to see things for yourself.” Said Ibrahim.
He just sighed in disappointment and went to his room to change, he wore a casual hoodie with baggy Jeans, then he went to see Lada.
When he knocked, she said she was getting dressed so he went back to his room and waited, she called him to tell him that she’ll take a long time which he just said “yes.” At. Ibrahim went to míngxīng’s room to wait with him, they didn’t talk about anything at all, just hi and hello, it makes sense, míngxīng did seem like the quiet type.. or more of the isolated type.
She called ibrahim and said she’d meet them at the breakfast buffet, Ibrahim was a little hesitant at first because he knows you can’t place your full trust in her but this time he tried to give her the benefit of the doubt and both him and míngxīng went to the buffet, after around 6 minutes she showed up, she wore a casual dress but did a kind of complicated hairstyle which isn’t really her thing but whatever makes her happy for once.
Ibrahim got eggs with sasuge and a side of vegetables, Lada got pancakes and míngxīng got nothing.
