[The door is partially open, so Lalli is free to walk right on it! Rude!
The third floor turns out to be a studio room, sectioned into a mini kitchen, a common area with a half wall for a bed, and a bathroom. The room itself follows the same architectural pattern the student dorms do, done in the same colors of Fall Dorm. Mounted on the wall over the couch is a strange sword.
Luke has turned around to glance at Lalli from a simple desk and chair on one side of the common area. Some books and a laptop are opened in front of him. Above the desk behind him is a dual dry-erase and corkboard. There are several pictures on the corkboard. One is of a very young, silver-haired boy squatting beside two other children: a brown-haired boy holding up the peace sign, and a red-haired girl smiling happily on a beach. There's a picture of Fall Dorm posing with a cardboard cut out of Claude. And there's a picture of the (hopefully) decorate Christmas tree.
Beside the desk in the corner is a baseball equipment bag with a varsity jacket thrown over it.]
but aww, Luke is the sentimental type. How sweet!]
Hi.
[Lalli has a flower crown in his hands. It's one of the ones he made with Nier earlier. And unless Luke dodges or tells Lalli not to do it, Lalli's going to walk over to drop it onto Luke's head.]
Because I wanted to. Not everything is about dorm points and extra credit.
[He's saying that last part because the cookie baking last night was definitely about the task. And it feels important for him to clarify the difference.]
Nier and I both had one, and we matched since we both have light hair. You have light hair too, so you can match the two of us.
[He looks a little wryly amused by the explanation.] Is Nier trying to big brother you, too? [Though he seems fine with matching the two of them. He isn't taking it off.]
Onni already does that, I don't need two big brother figures.
[This is said with a touch of dryness; as much as he loves his cousin, he doesn't like being babied by him.]
I asked him to help me make it. Since I didn't know how to. Kids used to make these back home, but I left school before I learned that skill on the playground.
You did a better job than I would be able to do. I like it.
[He offers Lalli the hint of a small smile of appreciation, but then his brows sort of furrow under his fringe. Almost like what happens when you have a headache.
Gently, his face pinches, and his head lowers. When he looks up again, he's already standing so swiftly the desk chair falls over sideways. There's an entirely more focused look in his eyes.]
Sora! [Hm. Well, Lalli is not this person it seems.] The first weekend...!
[Oh, that's something. And the...well, it wasn't quite a smile, but Lalli had a calm, contented look on his face before this moment. But now that Riku is standing up suddenly and saying weird things, Lalli takes a step back as concern washes over him.]
[Again, his face pinches. He reaches up to to press his palms into his head, and then hunches. A familiar pained groan comes out of him before he drops to the floor on his hands and knees.
(lalli voice) oh shit the rash]
Not Luke... My name... is...!
[He falls over and goes ka-thunk right onto the floor which sounds awfully familiar, too.]

What's the occasion? I'm not sure I deserve all these supposed blessings.
