Hyuuga nodded in response. "Mhm...Not only the students but the employees and teachers too; Even alumni, former students--everyone who either worked or studied here have a record book of their own," Hyuuga answered in a laidback tone, approaching the twins.

"...That means Nanamine-senpai's book is here too!-" Tsukasa cheered before getting cut off after feeling eyes bore at the back of his skull. "Don't be a stalker, Tsukasa." Amane 'tsked' as he shook his head.

Tsukasa sighed, putting his arms behind his head. "Maybe we could search for Hanako-san's book..." Amane mumbled, turning his head away. "And you tell me not to be a stalker," Tsukasa added, his voice laced with sarcasm.

"H-Hey! Hanako-san's dead, so it doesn't count as stalking; Think of it as...research for a project!" Amane argued, furrowing his eyebrows. 'I could help them find Hanako's book, so I could learn about her weakness and exorcise her!...' Hyuuga thought, smirking at the idea of finally being with Nanamine.

"You do have a point..." Tsukasa pondered, a finger on his chin. "Let's go!" Tsukasa chirped before climbing a ladder. "I'll assist the both of you," Hyuuga said, to which Amane and Tsukasa nodded in acknowledgment.

As the three students searched for Hanako's name in the book stacks, on the other hand, an uncomfortably eerie silence was exchanged between (̷̦͛͂̆͐̒͒͝͝N̵̊͗à̶̈́͂̓m̶̻̖̼̫̟͛e̴̊̒͊̾̓͝) Hanako and Yako. Yako looked at (Name) with a pleading gaze, frowning in an attempt to convince her.

"Look," Hanako started, swinging her legs hanging from the table as she observed a rock. "I know that I've fulfilled my purpose as a School Mystery decades ago, although..." Hanako paused, turning to Yako.

Hanako had an unrecognizable expression on her face that somehow gave Yako hope. "I'd like to keep my position as a school mystery," Hanako placed the rock beside her, hopping off the table as she approached the door.

"I know you're going to say something about going to heaven and live carefree or some shit, but I don't want to just-- stay quiet and observe like what I did before," Hanako stated before shutting the door behind her.

Yako pounded her fist on the table, her knees giving up as she fell on them. "Tch, damned brat..." Yako cursed, irritation laced in her voice. "(Last Name)'s/s' smart, but why can't she get that I'm trying to get her reincarnated and live a long, happy life she never got to experience through her dense skull?!..." She muttered, her voice cracking.

"Amane Yugi?..." Amane read out loud, looking at the book in curiosity. Opening the book, he started skimming through the pages. 'I guess this is legit-- They even have my diary entries?!' He noticed, his mouth left agape.

As he continued to skim through the pages, he saw a red page. "A...red page?" Amane muttered under his breath. Amane swallowed a lump in his throat before reading the contents. "I find out that Hanako-san's real name is-" "AMANE! WATCH OUT!" Tsukasa screamed as a large silhouette-like figure that looked like Amane appear behind his brother.
