Inside the a warehouse Z23 sets a box on a shelf as Echo and Javelin sweep next to her.
"There we go." Z23 says.
"It really was quite dusty, huh?" Javelin questions.
"Because nobody really comes here."
Echo loudly sneezes. "GUH! So dusty!"
Ayanami walks over. "I'm tired."
"Me too." Kalk and Hobby walk over.
Z23 smiles. "Then why don't we go home and have some tea?"
The group then moves throughout the warehouse, looking for Laffey.
"Laffey-chan?" Javelin calls out.
"Miss Laffey?" Hobby calls out.
"We're going home!" Echo shouts.
They then all spot a large treasure chest sitting in one of the aisles. They all walks up to it in confusion.
"I don't remember seeing this before." Z23 says in confusion.
"Is that a treasure chest?" Ayanami asks.
"Is there money inside?" Echo asks. "For sweets!"
"Why don't we open it?" Javelin suggests.
"Isn't finding Laffey more important?" Z23 asks.
Javelin just shoots forward and slams the top of the treasure chest open.
"Hey!" Z23 shouts in shock. "What did I just say?"
Inside the chest is many jewels.
"Wow, look at this treasure!" Javelin says in amazement, but also in the chest is a sleeping Laffey. "And Laffey-chan, too!"
"What?!" Z23 shouts in shock, again.
"We found her." Ayanami says.
"What a weird place to sleep." Echo points out.
"Why would she be in the treasure chest?" Z23 asks in annoyance, but then sighs. "Come on, Laffey, wake up." She shakes Laffey's shoulder. Laffey opens her ruby eyes and sits up. "We're going home."
"Where am I?" Laffey asks, and Z23 grows confused. "Who are you?"
"Huh?" Kalk tilts her head in confusion.
"Laffey-chan, are you still sleeping?" Ayanami asks.
"I'd say she slept too much." Ayanami remarks.
"I'm..." Laffey looks down at her hands. "I can't remember. I... who am I?"
The six girls in front of Laffey look at her in worry.
"Did she... lose her memory?" Ayanami questions, and the others glance at her.
"What?!" The five others shout.
.
.
The girls are in the courtyard of the Academy and Laffey sits at the fountain.
"She doesn't really look any different." Z23 states. "Something feels off, though."
"What is it though?" Hobby puts a hand on her chin.
"Laffey-chan, is there anything you still remember?" Javelin asks.
Laffey thinks for a second. "I feel like I... went to sleep because I was sleepy."
"That's nothing new." Z23 sweat drops.
"Did the jewels in the treasure chest maybe look like a good pillow?" Javelin questions.
