Tao whistled low as he peered out the window, watching the snow as it drifted down from the sky by the bucketful. "Haven't seen snow like this for a while."

"I've never seen it that deep before," M-21 said, coming up beside him and leaning on the wall to look outside, crossing his arms.

"You haven't?" Tao mused. "Oh, you were probably usually sent to urban places, right?"

M-21 nodded.

Tao looked down at the street, where telling the difference between the road and the pavement was the least of your problems. You couldn't walk through that – at best, you'd have to wade through it, the snow piled so high it probably reached Takeo's chest.

"Well," Tao sighed, zipping up his jacket (he wasn't affected by the temperature that much, but it'd look suspicious if he was in his regular suit and not shivering), popping the window open, "best way to get to work it via the rooftops." It was quicker, and it meant they'd stay marginally drier that way.

They didn't have to wait long for Takeo to join them, and then they jumped out the window, making their way to the school.

"…Huh." Tao stared at the closed and locked gate of the school and then checked the time. The gate should be open by now… There weren't any signs of disturbance in the snow (which wasn't surprising considering – they hadn't seen any vehicles on the way to the school) so maybe…

Tao's phone vibrated, and he pulled it out his pocket, checking to see who it was. "Hey, Boss!"

"…Where are you?"

That sounded ominous. He shared a look with the others, shrugging. Boss didn't sound annoyed though. "We're perched on top of the gate wall." Since there was less snow there.

There was a rustle and then a sigh. "At the school?"

"Yeees?" Where they were supposed to be, right?

"If you had stayed behind for a little longer, I would have been able to inform you that the school closes once the weather makes it impossible for the students or teachers to travel to the school."

Tao eyed the depth of the snow that surrounded them. "Ahaha. Oh." Whoops. They probably should have realised that. "We'll be back as soon as we can then, Boss!"

"Make sure you do," was Boss' wry reply, before ending the call.

Tao stored his phone away, and then declared: "Race you back home!" He shot off before he'd finished speaking, laughing as he heard startled exclamations behind him. He was going to need all the speed advantages he could get with these two.
