When Jin opened the door to the cabin where she would be staying, Chihiro knew immediately that she was going to like these people. There were lots of kids crammed into this one cabin, which made Jin noticeably angry, which in turn made Chihiro happier. Deciding to try and figure out exactly what she was getting into, she took time to take a close look at the kids.

A lean, muscled biker-looking guy with a jet black pompadour was lying with an equally black-haired girl with freckles peppered on her cheeks on the bottom bunk of one of the bunkbeds. A strawberry blonde haired girl with twin pigtails held by two black and white bear clips was lying across them, reading a magazine. Neither of them really seemed to notice, as their eyes were trained on the chaos happening between the two bunk beds.

A black haired girl with drills and a large, brown-haired boy were watching another boy with a brownish-blonde pompadour and long black hair in the back get chased by a much smaller, busty brown-haired girl with a ponytail, who seemed to be after whatever he held in his hand. Laughing, the boy clambered to the top of the second bunk, where a girl with dark twin braids and large glasses sat, writing in a notebook. As the boy hid behind her, she flinched and started stammering something incomprehensible.

"Mondo! Give me back my bathing suit!" The ponytailed girl yelled, and Mondo (Chihiro assumed the boy she'd been chasing was Mondo) peeked out from around the braids girl.

"Not a chance!"

From the bottom bunk of the second bunk bed, a red haired boy and a boy with dreadlocks peered up at Mondo, giggling as he used the other girl as a human shield.

"M-M-Mondo, please, let go of me, the head counselor is here," the girl yelped, and everyone seemed to notice Jin all at once. There was a chorus of groaning and eye-rolling, and one violet-haired girl near the back turned her head completely away.

"Touko, honey, listen to me," Mondo said flatly, putting an arm around her shoulders. "No. One. Cares. About. The. Guy."

"Don't say that too loud, Kiyotaka's still asleep," the raven-haired boy (whom Chihiro guessed, based on how similar they looked, was Mondo's brother) muttered, pointing to an unmoving lump of blankets on the floor in a corner.

At that, Jin cleared his throat loudly, moving to put a hand on Chihiro's shoulder. She was quick to jump away, not keen on letting him touch her. "Everyone, this is Chihiro Fujisaki. He—"

"She."

It was the first time Chihiro had spoken since she'd arrived at the camp. Noticing the correction, Mondo looked down at the ponytailed girl, who winked at him. The raven-haired boy giggled. Jin continued speaking.

"–is going to be staying with you all. And I know you know that you're not all supposed to be in here, you should be in your own cabins."

Completely ignoring his order, the kids all looked over at Chihiro, some winking, some smiling, some emotionless. Realizing that he wasn't being acknowledged, Jin sighed.

"I'll be back when quiet time is over."

"Don't bother," the strawberry blonde laughed as he left, and then, as if queued by some imaginary force, all of the children who were awake swarmed towards Chihiro like dogs.

"Hi there!"

"Nice to meet you!"

"Where ya' from?"

"She's like, one of us already. Did you see the way she talked back to Jin? She's a natural."

"Guys, ladies, non-binaries, please," Mondo said, rolling his eyes as he pushed through them and put an arm around Chihiro. He'd descended from the top bunk, along with Touko, who was standing in the back shyly. "The poor girl's obviously traumatized. She needs time ta' settle in before ya' go crowdin' her with questions an' shit, now back, back!" He motioned as if he was stabbing at them with swords, and they backed up to give Chihiro and Mondo space. "So. Yer Chihiro Fujisaki?"

"Yes," she responded quietly. "And...who are all of you?"

"Mondo Oowada," he replied, then pointed at the raven haired boy. "An' that's Daiya, he's my older brother, don't pay him any attention 'cause he's kind of dead in the brain."

"Hey!"

"It's true."

After his initial statements, she was bombarded with names: Touko Fukawa, Leon Kuwata, Yasuhiro Hagakure (who she had to admit was kind of cute I mean what?), Aoi Asahina, Mukuro Ikusaba, Junko Enoshima, Celestia Ludenberg, Hifumi Yamada, Kiyotaka Ishimaru (the lump of blankets). She did her best to tick them off mentally, try to put the name to the face.

"Our first day was yesterday, but I guess yer folks were a lil' late getting' you signed up for summer camp, eh?" Mondo joked, inviting her to splay out on the bottom bunk with his brother and Mukuro. Carefully, Chihiro laid beside him, and he pulled her in close. His grip was warm and comforting.

"Yes. They...they gave me three days to change my mind," Chihiro murmured, playing with the string on her jacket. "But I didn't."

"That took a lotta' guts," Mondo laughed, ruffling her hair. "Y'know what? From this day forward, yer gonna be my little sister."

Although she didn't know it then, Chihiro had just gained a huge, amazing family, that would be able to give her everything that her blood relatives never could.

[Notes: As of right now, Chihiro's just referring to people as "he" and "she" based on what she sees them presenting as. The pronouns will change after the next chapter.]
