Kiran takes a seat next to Buttons and starts drawing Dogachu.
Buttons draws some kind of horrible demon. Surprise, surprise.
He looks over and sees Kiran drawing Dogachu when he notices him struggling with the tail. After Kiran draws and erase it twenty times or so because he can't get it to look right. Buttons laughs. "Most excellent, Kiran!"
Natsumi walks over and stands between you two. "Hm. You're both drawing... demons. Hmmm."
"What? Demon!? It's Dogachu!" Kiran protests.
"Oh! Of course, of course..." Natsumi says.
"But it has horns!" Buttons says.
"Those are ears."
"What about those spikes!?"
"That's supposed to be his fur..."
Natsumi gives Kiran a sympathetic smile and a par. "You, uh... Come by the club more often. We'll work on it."
"You guys are jerks..." Kiran mutters.
Natsumi gives Kiran a few pointers about how to draw a straight line. He feels like maybe he can express himself through his art a bit better... Maybe. No. No, it's still terrible. But he feels better about it!
Kiran gained 1 Charm!
People trickle out of the club as they wrap up. Soon enough there's just a handful of them left.
Natsumi pats Freya on the shoulder. Looks like Freya drew a sketch of a few flowers. She's surprisingly talented. "We're still on for the usual tonight, Freya?"
"Are you sure that's a good idea? You just got out of the hospital, remember?" Freya asks. She slugs her in the arm. Gently.
"Mmm... Good point." Natsumi looks unsure as she rubs her arm. "Well, we'll just go slow tonight..."
"Fair enough. And, hey! I got a nice bonus at work the other day, so I picked up a treat for after..."
Those two spend almost every Tuesday night together. Kiran doesn't really know what they do, but it's been going on for a while. Hm. Well, what to do for the night? Dad's away for the next few weeks, so no one can tell him what to do.
(A) Find Somnis and walk her home... she'll definitely want to hang out, of course (B) Head to the mall (C) Go to the park (D) Hang out at the graveyard because reasons (E) Go night fishing at the beach (F) Invite ____ to _____ (G) Study! (H) Cook a nice, healthy meal and walk Dogachu

Wait why is Somnis hanging out at the graveyard if she is still at the volunteer club?

Kiran says goodbye to the others, tells Natsumi to be careful with whatever she's doing with Freya, and tells Buttons to be careful not to get arrested again.
"Goodbye, Kiran! Tell Somnis hi!" Natsumi says.
"Make sure you get plenty of rest. Tomorrow's the first meeting of the Occult club..." Buttons says ominously. "Mwahahaha...!"
Kiran makes his way to the Volunteer club. There's... a small army of cats walking around and meowing.
Somnis notices him, then checks the clock. "Oh, wow. It's that late already? Sorry, everyone, it's time for the kitties to go home! But I'm sure they all really enjoyed a chance to get out and play! And remember - we're gonna be building a house tomorrow, which might not sound as fun, but it's so totally rewarding! And we'll do all sortsa other stuff throughout the year, so I hope to see you all back!"
Somnis and some animal control officer help round up all the cats to head back to the shelter. A pink-haired girl seems to be attracting them like a magnet, so they really just have her stand close to the crates and wait for them to wander in.
When everyone else is gone, Kiran jerks his thumb towards the door. "So, ready to go?"
Somnis throws an arm around Kiran's neck and swings herself up into his arms. "Carry me!" she insists.
"Absolutely not..." Kiran grunts. "You're too heavy. We wouldn't make it halfway before I collapsed."
"I'm not heavy, you're just scrawny..." Somnis pouts as she drops down and gets ready to go.
The walk back is uneventful. Somnis sends her mom a message that she'll be hanging out with Kiran, and a squirrel almost gets hit by a car before it slams on its brakes, but that's the most interesting thing that happens.
When you get home, Kiran opens the door and Somnis darts in past him. Dogachu practically tackles her to the ground. Then gives Kiran a 'woof,' then goes back to Somnis. Somnis, meanwhile, wastes no time making herself at home, tossing her backpack, shoes, and jacket aside.
"So, what d'ya want for dinner?" she asks.
"Just throw in some toaster strudel or something..."
Somnis plops her hands on her hips and stares up at Kiran. She's trying to look intimidating. But with how small she is, she just looks cute. "No deal! I promised your dad you'd eat at least one healthy meal a week, even if I have to force feed it to you!"
"OK, OK! Jeez, put down that funnel. I'll give you a hand."
"Hrk... U-um... OK..." Somnis looks scared. She cracks open the fridge and some cabinets, then decides on a meal. She cracks a few eggs into a bowl and hands it to Kiran. "Alright, just beat the eggs. Even you can't screw this one up. "
He proceeds to screw this one up, spilling the eggs on the floor. "Sorry..." he says. "Guess I need to work on my proficiency."
Somnis sighs and takes his gear away. "I'll get Dogachu to help me instead."
"Rrrff," he says with a wire whisk in his jowls.
Somnis gives him a fresh bowl of eggs to work on while she gets some spices and stuff together. "So, what d'ya wanna do after dinner? Study? Watch a movie, maybe?"
(A) Let's study. (B) Wanna watch some stupid action movie? (C) Think you can handle a horror movie this time? (D) Video games? (E) I got a new comic book yesterday. (F) I just wanna take a nap... (G) How about we lift some weights?

"Video games?" Kiran suggests.
Somnis shudders, nearly dropping a tomato.
"...Are you OK?" Kiran asks.
"Bad... memories..." she whispers.
"C'mon, I didn't beat you that bad last time..."
"...OK. But I get to pick the game. And you have to go easy on me!" Somnis points a spatula at you threateningly.
A few minutes later, and she finishes making dinner. Omelettes with cheese, chunks of tomato and mushroom, a bit of sliced ham... Honestly not that hard to cook, but well beyond Kiran's capabilities. Somnis isn't anything special at cooking, just... competent.
They sit together on the couch, watching whatever terrible show's on TV. Somnis leans against Kiran while they eat, and Dogachu lays across Somnis. They're both such a snuggle-monsters... Not that Kiran minds. Usually. It's a pretty enjoyable meal.
Afterwards, Somnis digs around Kiran's game collection before pulling out Kart Kart. Her favorite. Kind of a casual game, but still fun.
"Remember, you have to go easy on me!"
(A) Sure. (B) Sure (lie). (C) Sure (HUGE LIE). (D) I am going to dominate you! (E) I'll give you a big headstart, but then I'm going all out!

"Sure," Kiran lies. HARD.
The two sit together and start the game. Somnis stretches out on the couch and... loses. Badly. Kiran goes easy on Somnis for a little bit, then suddenly break out all the stops to positively destroy her. Multiple times.
"Jerk!" she says. She gives him a few gentle kicks. "You promised!"
"Fine, fine. I'll at least give you a headstart."
"Hmmmmph." Somnis sits up and starts racing while Kiran sits at the start. She's so focused. So very focused that Kiran just can't resist teasing her a bit while he waits. And he has a lot of time to wait, Somnis is very bad at this game. Poking her flank results in an adorable squeak and a giggle. Every time. Though Kiran always picks up his controller in time to win. He makes a game of seeing how long he can wait and still win.
He works up to letting her have half a lap to go before he stops teasing her and starts winning.
After 10 races, when he goes for his controller Dogachu scoops it up and runs off with it. "H-hey! Give that back!"
"Yeah! Go, Dogachu!" Somnis cheers. She trips Kiran when tries to chase the dog. That dog... he's pretty old, but for some reason he always acts like a puppy when Somnis is around. Kiran recovers his controller just as Somnis can see the finish line. He actually almost manages to win anyway...
Somnis manages to win. "Haha! Finally! I win!"
Kiran sits back down. "Yep... That makes it... One win for you to a couple hundred for me?"
Somnis flops her head into his lap and stares up at him with a grin. "The important thing is I'm on the scoreboard! So, what do I win? C'mon, I want a reward!"
(A) (Pat, pat) (B) Give her a hug (C) Give her a kiss (D) Walk into the kitchen and get her some of the chocolate you have hidden (E) Praise her (F) Tease her

Take out the chocolate, dangle it in front of her face, pull up when she bites for it and then drop it on her face so it lands between her eyes.

"Alright, alright. Let me up," Kiran says.
Somnis gives him a questioning look, but lets him hop up. He comes back from the kitchen with a small bar of chocolate. He sits back down, takes Somnis' head back into his lap, unwraps the chocolate and holds it out. "You're gonna feed me? How sweet! You know all 3 of my favorite things, huh? Chocolate, cuddling, and being waited on." She nuzzles Kiran before she closes her eyes and opens her mouth. "Aaaah~"
Kiran drops it on her face.
"Ow. ...Why are you being such a jerk today?" Somnis asks. She picks up the chocolate and munches on it while she stares up at him, expecting an answer.
She gets a shrug in response.
"Hm. Maybe I should just let you starve."
"Oh, hush," Kiran says. "I'm calling your bluff."
"At least rub my belly while I eat or something..." Somnis pleads.
"Fine, fine..." Kiran pats her stomach while she finishes the chocolate. Somnis seems extremely satisfied with the reward.
Dogachu's ears perk up. "Somnis! Time to come home!" a voice calls. Her mom's not even bothering to call her phone or anything, she's just shouting out the window.
"Whoops, gotta go. Later, Kiran!" Somnis disappears just as fast as she appeared.
...Kiran is left alone.
He finishes his homework, watches a bit of TV, and goes to bed.
He has a strange dream...
(A) Mercia (B) Death (C) Phenandran (D) Nova (E) Dragon (F) Hinoh (G) Shacegroth (H) Vega (I) Fionn (J) Inbrimmer (K) Lamia (L) Nirver (M) Vaazim
