[ Kiriona doesn't open the message, even when she sees a notification, because she's curled up in the corner of her room, watching a video.
In it, a shaky camera zooms in on a white-haired boy holding a large aquatic lizard, its tongue flopping all over the place. Someone off-camera shouts I bet lizards love trampolines! The camera pans over to a green-haired boy and a dark-haired boy. The green-haired boy keeps trying to be the voice of reason, with a oh, I don't know if this is a good idea... while the dark-haired boy is doing his very best not to appear incredibly stressed out. He's so relaxed right now. Look at him go.
A terse young woman mutters Griddle, give that here,, while the white-haired boy sets the lizard on the springy surface, and then climbs up onto it himself. Someone cheers, then goes shit, and the camera cuts to black.
She watches it again. And again. And she doesn't cry, and she doesn't think about any parties, or really, anything else. ]
