She hit us hard enough to break our nose for our own safety?
I believe @chocolote12 was referring to her "being in touch with her wrath" mentioned before. We know she is a wrathful person, regardless of whether or not she's trying to be better, she has in the past, and by her actions, probably currently responds violently to things she doesn't like.Care to elaborate? Because I have no idea what you are getting at.
My interpretation of events is that she didn't want us to talk/get close to her, but we pushed, which made her angry, so she lost control and lashed out.

I was talking about meeting her family and her reaction to it. And yes, though her hitting people who grate on her nerves is impulsive, she claims she is pushing people away on purpose, to protect them. It yet remains to be seen from what. Maybe she is irritable to the extent that none of her friends managed to remain in one piece for long.
Good thing we chose to play a sturdy protag either way.
011 - Welcome to My House
- Location
- [REDACTED]
[X] Let her come over to your apartment. There's no way this could go wrong.
You smile warmly at her. "I have a better idea." You suggest helpfully.
For some strange reason, all the blood drains from her face and she quickly reaches out to steady herself with the railing of the staircase.
"…yes?" she inquires finally.
You blink bewilderedly at her. "Is something wrong?"
"...I'm just concerned this will be hazardous to my health. You seem to come up with dangerous ideas "
"And you insist on quibbling about things of no importance." You retort promptly. "But I was thinking, if you don't want me to come over to your house, you could just come over to my apartment."
She's staring at you again. "Really. You're just going to invite a girl you've known for less than a week over to your apartment. Just like that."
"It's more convenient than staying at school, and for some reason, you don't want to invite me to your house." You explain reasonably.
"People will talk." She finally points out.
"They'll talk about me anyway. I may as well provide them something interesting to gossip about."
She sighs, and rests her head in her hands. "…let's just go. Before you say something stupid. Again."
That is both cruel and inaccurate. Everything you say or do is brilliant- people just don't realize it sometimes.
Your journey back to the apartment is mostly uneventful, aside from a strange interlude. Kaho stops you at the school gates, tells you to wait, and walks away. She returns two minutes later with her hands in fists, wearing what you have taken to affectionately calling her "murderface", and is impressively even more ill-tempered on the walk to your apartment than she usually is.
No, you wouldn't have believed it possible either if you hadn't seen it yourself.
On the bright side, she seems irked at something other than yourself, which is an opportunity for you! It's also something of a novelty, you'll admit. Usually, the only thing that can get that sort of anger out of her is you, which makes you feel special. And a little bit threatened.
As the two of you walk towards your apartment, you try to engage her in conversation. Unsurprisingly, your efforts prove to be fruitless, for the most part. You do, however, learn one detail of interest. The conversation goes something like this.
"So, what was that about, Kaho?"
"Don't ask."
"Why not?"
"It's family business, which means you need to keep your nose out of it. Now change the subject."
"...so how about that weather?"
You continue to chatter on about innocuous topics like the weather, school, and the current state of the world. The longer you talk about these random topics, the calmer she seems. By the time the two of you reach your apartment, she's downgraded all the way from 'will murder anyone who breathes at her too loudly' to 'wants to strangle Victor because he won't shut up', which is practically her normal emotional state. You're quite proud of yourself for managing that.
As you deliberately fumble with the key, you run through your mental lists. First, your stuff. Your sword is hidden inside the lining of your bedding, your crown is in its case and hidden in the closet, and your books have jackets from random novels and are mixed with other books. Second, your objectives. You want to get your project done. That should be feasible. You also want to get Kaho more comfortable with the thought of working with you, and less inclined to punch you in the face. Again.
All this flashes through your mind as you unlock the door and usher Kaho in. Your apartment is not large, but it is big enough for you. There is a front room, which also doubles as a very small entrance hall. There is a dining room which also functions as a living room. The kitchen is located past the dining room, at the very end of the apartment, and is sectioned off. The bathroom is on the immediate left as you enter the apartment, and the bedroom is just past the bathroom.
"Welcome to my humble abode." You murmur dryly.
"More like, come in to my parlor, said the spider to the fly." She snorts.
"Oh, you wound me so."You retort. "Want anything before we get started?"
She considers. "Not now, thank you."
You blink at the sudden politeness. She reddens slightly at your sudden incredulity. Apparently, even you merit some politeness when offering someone the rights of a guest. You shrug it off, and get to work. The two of you spend the next several hours complaining at each other as you write up a report on the life and times of Takeda Shingen. Kaho proves to be very good at this, and is a font of obscure and interesting information. It makes it much easier for you to write your report and begin drawing the poster the two of you have designed. She is also good company, and is quite willing to socialize with you while you work. The work is complete much earlier than you expected, and your report is completely written as well. You sit back and smile.
"That, I think, was well done." You declare happily. "We work well together."
"I suppose you're not useless, when you're not doing your creepy friendship thing." Kaho responds.
"I'm not creepy." You protest wryly. "Well, I'm going to start on dinner. Would you-"
You are abruptly interrupted by the sound of a loud knock on the door. Kaho's head swivels, and all the blood drains from her face. She snaps to her feet and sprints to the door, slamming it open with such force that she's probably dented the wall.
At the door stands a young lady with a flower in her hair, fist still raised to knock. She's dressed in a very nice suit, and the blue flower almost matches her eyes.
"Hello, sister" she breathes, and her voice is like a melody. You blink dumbfoundedly.
"Where have you been? Mother and Father have been worried sick about you." She leans in to the apartment. "I see you've made a new friend. Is this the classmate who you're doing a project with."
"He's not my friend." Kaho hisses. "Let's go." And with that delightful comment, Kaho grabs her sister by the arm and drags her off into the night, slamming the door behind her. You're starting to worry about the structural integrity of your apartment.
You pull yourself to your feet and check. Yes, it seems Kaho did actually dent the wall when she opened the door. You need friends who cause less property damage.
So, that was your week. Now you have a weekend. What do you want to do with it? (Pick 2.)

Kaho is adorable. Like an angry sabertooth kitten with a mean streak.
So now Kaho's family knows where we live. Perfect. It is only a matter of time until we get famous in all the right circles.

I want to look into our classmates, see if there are any more individuals worthy of our curiosity. As for the other action, no preference there. I am a bit tired of looking at gear, though, so I'd rather do some information gathering, on whatever topic we find most amusing currently.

Lacking knowledge on specifics for the write-ins, I'll postpone going for those and see if we can get more basic information about where everything is and who the people are. Hopefully we can get a ledger or map to refer to out of this.
