"Oh dear..."<br/><br/>Today ended up being a bad day for Kichin. It started out well enough. Woke up, ate breakfast, went to work, ate lunch, left work. Pretty standard, not much worth mentioning. It was when he came back home that things started going south. For when he arrived home, he was greeted with an unfortunate surprise in his bedroom.<br/><br/>Kichin had always held a large fascination of bugs of all sorts, and has taken up arthropodology as a hobby from a very young age. Insects, arachnids, crustaceans, myriapods, and even other bug-like creatures such as annelids and gastropods. All of these creatures have always had a special place in his heart. That being said, it shouldn't be too surprising that he had kept many kinds of these animals as pets in the past. He was very diligent as a pet owner and had taken excellent care of all of them, without doubt.<br/><br/>However, even such a passion as his could not change the fact that he was only human and thus, has made a few mistakes down the road, and this was a testament to that fact.<br/><br/>Very recently, he had come into possession of his latest pet bug, a female Peacock Mantis Shrimp which he had named, "Remi". The Peacock Mantis Shrimp has many amazing qualities, one of the most notable ones being that it possesses the fastest punch in the animal kingdom, reaching speeds equal to a<i>22-caliber bullet.</i>With it being capable of such power, the Peacock Mantis Shrimp requires special accommodations, namely a terrarium strong enough to withstand it's punching blows. This is where Kichin messed up. It seemed that he had overestimated the cage that he had purchased for Remi. For when he arrived home and entered his room, he was greeted by the sight of shattered glass and substrate sprawled across a wet floor. And laying in the center was Remi, deceased, no doubt due to suffocating from the lack of water.<br/><br/>He gently cupped Remi in his hands and headed back outside. He dug a small grave and placed her in it, almost crying a little whilst doing so. The rest of the evening was very gloomy and uneventful after he went back inside. After cleaning up the mess in his room. The only thing he felt like cooking for dinner was some instant noodle, and he couldn't bring himself to watch T.V. or ready any books. All he could do was lounge about, mourning for Remi and beating himself up over causing her death due to his own stupid mistake. Feeling drained of energy, he decided it wouldn't be a bad idea to go to bed a bit earlier then usual. 'Tomorrow's the weekend' he thought as he entered the bedroom and got into bed. 'I'll feel at least a little better in the morning'<br/><br/>After turning off the lights, he quickly fell asleep. However, he certainly wasn't prepared for the sight he would witness in the morning. As rays of sunlight poured through the window and onto his face, he slowly opened his eyes and sat up, stretching his arms into the air.<br/><br/>The very first thing he saw that day...<br/><br/>Were girls. Three of them. All standing at the foot of his bed, looking directly at him. He blinked his eyes a couple times in disbelief. It was still early, so the only thing he could manage to say about situation was a mere.<br/><br/>"Huh?"
