"Do you mind explaining why the hell you've dragged us all out here on a Saturday morning?" Chiyo glared at the psychologist who stood before her and the three others in their group. "Some of us actually want to sleep, you know!"

"I know that, Chiyo." Kenjiro softly sighed before clearing his throat. "I thought-"

"There better be a good reason for bringing us to a place like this..." Shimura crossed his arms. "This is not my scene at all."

"I-I'm getting to the point! As I was going to say-"

Kenjiro was cut off once again, this time by Shouko's snores as she stood completely still, her head hanging low as she dozed off.

Satoshi quickly yet weakly slapped her on the back to wake her up. Even though the hit was light, it was enough to wake her up and startle her.

"H-Huh?!? Was that a-"

"No, it was not a ghost." Chiyo rapidly shut Shouko down without hesitation.

"Ah...right." The ghost hunter nodded, rubbing her eyes after her short-lived nap.

"Come on guys...!" Satoshi attempted to capture all of their attention and redirect it towards him and the shorter boy who was beside him with the two linking arms. "Kenjiro has a really good idea, s-so let's all hear it, alright?"

"Alright, go ahead then Kenji." Chiyo looked back at the psychologist with a tired sigh and a nod.

"Thank you..." Kenjiro then took a deep breath. "As I was saying, I heard that Kei's group of survivors got together for a picnic last week."

"...And?" Shouko blinked.

"Yeah, what does that have to do with us?" Shimura wondered, facing the two other boys.

"I-I'm getting to that part...!" Kenjiro stammered before shaking his head, mumbling to himself and then continuing. "The best way to develop bonds is by spending time together...so I figured we could all hang out like the other group of survivors."

"Look, it's a sweet idea, but this isn't exactly the coolest place. Kei and his friends went to some cool picnic and we're stuck..." Chiyo gestured to the large wall-mounted map beside her with a face of utter disinterest. "...in some shopping centre."

Satoshi rubbed the back of his head with a concerned look as he glanced between Kenjiro and the other three. "Uh...K-Kenji and I thought it would be a good idea! We all like shopping, right...?"

"Not just that, but..." Kenjiro rummaged in his pocket with his free hand until he pulled out five small tickets. "After a lot of convincing, I managed to get some all-day passes at the arcade. So I thought we could all go and have fun."

"Doesn't that sound fun?" Satoshi asked, adding to Kenjiro's words.

Shouko thought to herself for a moment before shrugging. "I guess it could be alright. As long as it's not boring..."

"Arcades aren't boring! They can be exciting." Satoshi perked up in an attempt to defend the idea once again.

"I'm sure it won't be boring." Kenjiro followed with a reassuring nod. "...At least I hope it will be fun."

"It sounds cool, I suppose." Chiyo stretched. "I haven't been to an arcade in a bit, so I might be a bit rusty with all the game and shit. I won't hold back though."

"That's the response I was looking for. I'm glad someone is pumped." The psychologist smiled before glancing at the final boy. "What about you S...Shimura?" His voice trailed off in confusion.
