The Dark Hour Iwatodai Dormitory 2nd Floor, Kazuto's room...
"Hi there."
Kazuto slowly leaned up from his bed, finding the little boy he met on the first day of arriving here standing in front of him.
Smiling.
"What...?"
"It looks like your teammates have found the girl. Good for them."
So they found Sachi...? That was faster than I thought it'd be. Kazuto thought, as he slowly leaned back into his bed.
"That girl's abilities will be something you'll need right now and in the future to come." The boy said.
"Mm..."
"Are you sure you shouldn't go?"
".....I don't know..." Kazuto mumbled, thinking back to earlier.

Time: 23:30
"I'll be honest with you guys....I can't wholeheartedly recommend this operation....I want to save Mochizuki as much as you all....but there is a large chance you could end up stranded like her..." Asuna said.
"Even still...I can't just stand by and watch as if there nothing we can do....If there is a chance to save her, I will do it. I vowed to protect my students, and I damn well ain't gonna stop! So if you guys aren't coming....then I'm going on my own! " Ryoutarou yelled, leaving those in the room with him in silence.
".....I'm with you, man." Andrew spoke up.
"I understand that there are risks....but you are right...if we do have a chance to save Sachi Mochizuki, then we have to take it." Asuna said, as she turned toward her field leader, who was once again being quiet the entire meeting.
"Kirigaya. I cannot guarantee your safety for this mission. But I hope we can count on you."
".....Understood." He replied.
"....I don't have the same kind of resolve that Mr. Tsuboi has....or Mr. Mills...." Shino spoke up, causing everyone to look over toward the girl.
"But even so....If I see someone....someone that needs help....I want to help them.....I want to help Mochizuki....but you..." Shino said, looking toward Kazuto.
"You don't even care....it's written all over your face....Don't come if you're just doing it because you were told to...that side of you....it really pisses me off..."
"...Understood." Kazuto replied, standing up from where he was seated, before walking out, ignoring his homeroom teacher calling him back.

"Are you sure you shouldn't go?"
"...I don't know..."
"Even though that other girl has gone there...?"
"....Hm?"
With that said, the little boy would disappear again, as Kazuto made his way toward Natsuki Moriyama was staying in for the night. Only to find her room empty. He would then look out the window, where he saw the moon shining.
"It's a full moon again...."
"Yes...a trial is coming tonight." the boy said, suddenly appearing behind Kazuto again.
"And it looks like....you'll be facing more than one trial tonight..."
"What do you mean....?"
"I'm saying that it will be difficult to overcome the....if you don't do something.....they will all die."
".....Die?"
"Will you accept the trial?"
"...Die..."
