"You want to have a signal?"

As the two of them had just finished training, Yachiho and Nagisa were sitting at a table as they were discussing a plan. Considering the nature of her ability, Yachiho wanted to find a way for her and Nagisa to be on the same page after she manipulates time. While the two of them were deep in thought, Nagisa had an idea form in his head.

"Eyes are the window to the soul."

"Hmmm, what does that have to do with anything?"

"Simple, we'll use our eyes as the signal. Your ability let's you manipulate time, so obviously only you would retain any memories of events that occured before you used your ability.

The moment Yuuki and Himari were in the air, Nagisa had already leapt upwards. Afterwards, Nagisa swung his sword vertically in a flowing motion which caused Himari and Yuuki to fall back towards the ground.
