It all starts with the most dangerous sentence known to the dorm:

"Let's let Taki be in charge for one day."

It's meant to be a joke. A lighthearted rotation. A way to give the manager a break.

It becomes a regime.

09:03 a.m. — The Declaration

Taki strides into the living room in full manager mode: sunglasses, clipboard, and what appears to be a bathrobe turned cape.

"I am not your friend today," he announces. "I am your ruler."

"...You're our manager," Maki mutters.

"Same thing."
He slaps a gold paper crown on his head.

10:17 a.m. — Triple Trouble

"You scheduled three vocal lessons at the same time?" Harua blinks.

"No. I scheduled one vocal lesson. With three of you. In one room. At full volume."

The neighbors complain.

Jo harmonizes with the sirens.

11:50 a.m. — Nicholas Protests

"I will not attend a 'Charisma Workshop' led by Taki," Nicholas says, arms crossed.

"You're ten minutes late," Taki replies. "That's ten minutes less charisma for you."

"Charisma can't be scheduled—"

"That's exactly what someone with no charisma would say."

Nicholas joins the workshop. He regrets everything.

1:03 p.m. — The Meal Debacle

Fuma walks into the kitchen and sees:

Yuma holding a toaster.

EJ reading a cooking blog aloud.

A blender full of glitter.

"Where's the real manager?" Fuma asks.

Taki pops up from behind the counter with a whisk and a clipboard.

"You don't need a manager when you have vision."

The fire alarm goes off.

2:46 p.m. — The Meeting

Taki drags everyone into a "team synergy summit."

There is a slideshow.

There are stickers.

There is an official decree that Jo is now "Head of Aesthetics & Vibes," and Maki is "Minister of Memes."

"Why does Nicholas get 'Supreme Communications Strategist'?" Yuma asks.

"He talks the loudest."

"That's not—"

"Next slide."

4:15 p.m. — The Downfall

Taki accidentally sends the group schedule to the CEO's office.

The subject line reads: "Operation: Global Domination via Dance."

There is an emergency call.

Taki picks up and says, "Hold. I'm in a press conference."

"No, you're not," Jo hisses.

"I could be."

6:03 p.m. — Peace Talks

The real manager returns. Chaos has peaked. Someone's in a tree. Nicholas is leading a failed mutiny. Jo's stuck in a beanbag chair.

Taki surrenders the crown.

"I was magnificent," he sighs, collapsing dramatically.

"You were exhausting," Harua says, dragging a whiteboard into the trash.

"But did we learn synergy?" Taki asks hopefully.

"No," everyone answers.

6:47 p.m. —

Taki is demoted.

He wears the crown anyway.

"This isn't over," he whispers to his clipboard.

And somewhere, someone accidentally books a photoshoot, dentist appointment, and fan meet at the same time next month.

...He planned that too. 👑

"Nicholas Stages a Coup"

Genre: Chaos | Revolution | Betrayal (but make it sparkly)
Tagline: "He wanted peace. But he looked too good in a sash to back down."

Phase One: The Rise

Nicholas has had enough. After the third day of Taki's self-appointed dictatorship (with Jo as his unofficial jester), he gathers the others in the laundry room under the code name:

"Operation Sparkle Reclaim."

His demands?

More protein in the group diet.

No more 7 a.m. "mandatory vibe check meetings."

His own title.

"I want to be High Commander of Sass," he declares.
"You already are," Yuma mutters.

Phase Two: The Campaign

Nicholas begins a coup d'cute:

Leaves personalized sticky notes with slogans like "Vote for a louder tomorrow"

Gives Maki five different lollipops to gain his "swing vote"

Promises Jo full aesthetic freedom (with glitter budget)

He appears in the hallway with sunglasses and says:

"You've been governed. Now be liberated."

Phase Three: The Fall of Taki

In the living room, a fake podium is built. Taki enters dramatically with his clipboard.

Nicholas slaps down a folder labeled:

"Reasons You Are No Longer Fit to Lead (Volume I-IV)"

Jo brings popcorn. Fuma starts live-commenting.

Taki, in defeat, removes his crown and puts it on Nicholas.

"I'll be back," he hisses.
"Not if I bedazzle this first," Nicholas says.

Aftermath:

Nicholas rules... for two hours.

Then he realizes managing isn't just yelling in style. It includes emails. Schedules. Snack budgets. Tax forms??

He gives the crown to Fuma, declaring:

"I'm too fabulous for paperwork."

 "Fuma Rewrites the Rulebook"

Genre: Calm Chaos | Leader Energy™ | Order vs. Gremlins
Tagline: "He doesn't yell. He doesn't fight. He simply fixes everything—and terrifies them in the process."

Chapter One: The Collapse

After the failed Nicholas regime and Taki's underground resistance (yes, he made pamphlets), Fuma wakes up at 6:03 a.m. to:

Jo stuck in the dryer

Maki taping motivational quotes on the ceiling

Harua sorting the pantry by moral alignment ("these snacks feel evil")

Fuma sighs. Puts on his slippers. Grabs his clipboard.

And begins The Rewriting.

Chapter Two: The Rulebook

Rule 1: Do not elect a manager without HR approval.
Rule 2: "Vibe Checks" must not be before sunrise.
Rule 3: Taki is banned from clipboards until further notice.
Rule 4: Nicholas may host charisma seminars. Not revolutions.
Rule 5: Jo is no longer allowed to define the word "aesthetic" without a citation.

Fuma posts the Rulebook on the fridge. In color-coded fonts.

Chapter Three: Resistance (Briefly)

Taki tries to argue. Fuma raises one eyebrow.
Nicholas suggests a stylist budget. Fuma hands him one. In coins.
Yuma starts to ask what happens if someone breaks a rule.

Fuma simply replies, "Try me."

They do not.

Chapter Four: Peace Restored

By sundown:

The dorm is clean.

Jo is doing laundry willingly.

Maki is labeling the snack drawer alphabetically.

They fear him. They love him.
He is Leader Dad Mode™ incarnate.

Epilogue:

Taki, Nicholas, and Yuma sit in the dark, plotting.

"We'll rise again," Taki whispers.

"After dinner," Nicholas says. "I'm not missing Fuma's pasta."

Jo hands out glitter pens. Harua lights a candle. Maki puts on his secret crown.

The next coup is coming.
And this time, it will be... themed.
