Yukiko: Good morning.

Pippa: It's raining. It's not going to last past nightfall, though.

Maddie: Every time it rained while I was "over there," you must have been...

Yukiko: Oh, I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be gloomy. I know! Golden Week starts tomorrow, right? Do you have any plans?

Y/N: I'll have a family outing.

Pippa: I-I see. That must be tough.

Maddie: But, at least it looks like we're going to have clear skies all week.

Yukiko: It'd be nice if it could stay peaceful like this, but the mystery hasn't been solved yet. Perhaps we should visit "over there" once in a while so we can become stronger.

Mr. Morooka: I'm hearing a lot of chatter about Golden Week, but don't forget that first and foremost, you're students! Your duty is to study! You don't have time to fool around, alright!? Do not misunderstand what freedom means! It does not mean that you can live without taking responsibility! Even Pythagoras said, "As soon as laws are necessary for men, they are no longer fit for freedom!" Next order of business! Midterms are coming up next week! The results will be posted to humiliate low-scoring losers! If you don't want to be shamed, study hard! It's that simple! If you do well, who knows!? You may become a more popular cretin! And you know, popularity leads to intimacy! On top of that, my reputation goes up. It's a win-win situation, people! Like I said, study hard!

Announcer: An Inaba Credit Union ATM to the north of town was destroyed by an earth mover, and all cash inside was stolen. The vehicle, which was abandoned at the scene, had been reported stolen by a local contractor. Since the culprit was able to act quickly before the security guards arrived on the scene, the police have...

Nanako: Dad's late and sis can go...

Phone: *RING RING*

Nanako: Hello, Dad? Yeah, I'm okay. Yeah...Yeah.
...Okay...Alright. He said to give you the phone.... He can't take those days off.

Dojima: Hello? Sorry, but I'm going to be late tonight. Make sure you lock up before you go to sleep. And about that time off on the 4th and the 5th...One of the younger guys got sick...And, well, that case he's handling, we can't just let it sit...Looks like I'm the only one who can take over for him.

Y/N: Poor Nanako...

Dojima: Sorry to spring this on you all of a sudden...
Um...How's Nanako holding up? Would you mind comforting her for me?...Thanks. All right then, see you.

Maddie: I'll comfort Nanako for you. You just go to bed.

Y/N goes to bed and falls asleep.
