As expected for Jake there is still bitter resentment within avant rouge and trust may take a long time

As Jake alone was just eating in the cafeteria table but it was just him sitting

(Chewing)

While the girls whispers about Jake

Female Avant rouge 1 (whisper) : I still don't trust him

Female Avant rouge 2 (whisper) : even with that friendly introduction he's suspicious

Female Avant rouge 3 (whisper) : I know right bet he's just waiting for us to let our guard down for him to take advantage of us

But some familiar faces came by to sit with Jake

Unknown Avant rouge 1 : Jake!

Unknown Avant rouge 2 : how are you?

He smiles a bit

Jake : I'm good

He recalls not asking their names before

Jake : oh I never asked for your names

As they begin to introduce themselves

Mai : h…hi it's good to see you again

Jake : it's good to see ya

Meimei sits nexts to him

Meimei : how's your first day in here ?

Jake : I'd say it's good and all but nothing good hasn't been going well

Shizuoka : they're just jealous because Amagane speaks good things about you.

Jake : yeah maybe but there's so much I could do you know besides just run Errands

As the girls cheers Jake up

Meimei : don't things will be different I'm sure of it!
