Chapter Two: Bitter Love:

There’s more chaos in the world. It just hit without warning. Couples were arguing everywhere. Girlfriends were throwing out their boyfriends. Weddings were called off. Everyone was breaking up left and right.

Meanwhile, the Academy was just now noticing that something was wrong.

Noiz was in her office when there was a knock on her door.

“Enter,” she said. She looked up to see the door open. Katie stood in the doorway in tears. Noiz lowered her pen.

“Katie, what’s wrong?” she asked. She let out a loud wail.

“He’s so stupid!” the Finnish girl yelled. Katie broke down crying. Noiz got up and ran over to her.

“Shhh! Shhh! What’s wrong? What did Daisuke do?” she asked. Katie broke down crying on her chest.

“Talk to me,” Noiz said, trying to stay calm. She could barely make out what Katie was saying through her tears.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa,” the kitty headmistress said. “Slow down. Catch your breath.” Katie closed her mouth and took a breath. Noiz waited patiently. Katie finally looked up at her.

“Okay,” Noiz said. “Talk to me. What’s going on? What did Daisuke do?” The Finnish girl’s lips quivered.

“He’s so stupid!” she wailed.

“What did he do?” the kitty headmistress asked. Katie slowly shook her head.

“I… I… I don’t know!” she shouted. Katie broke down crying again. Noiz frowned and sighed. What the hell was going on? She just let the girl just cry it all out.

Katie wasn’t the only one.

Yes, there were other couples in Japan breaking up and fighting. It was mostly the women attacking their lovers. Yes, it was the women. The men didn’t know what was going on. As the day wore on, it was only going to get worse. That’s right. It was about to get worse. Really worse.

The academy was slow on the uptake. But it was there. And Noiz was just now starting to see it. It all started with a knife and some shouting.
