Sachi and Shira both decide to occupy the dorm next to Otonashi's and Kanade's.

"I guess we'll take room 42. None of the dorms are any different anyway." Said Sachi.

"Yeah, and if we need anything from them, we literally just have to walk a couple of feet." Said Shira.

Shira heads into the restroom.

"I'm going to take a shower. Please set out a clean pair of clothes for me."

"Will do."

Sachi then realizes that the only clothes they have is the ones they currently are wearing. Sachi then hears a door close in the hall way.

That must be Kanade and Otonashi. I'll go ask them if they have any spare clothing.

Sachi walks across the hall way to room 43 and knocks on the door. The small, white haired beauty opens the door and greets Sachi with a gentle smile.

"Can I help you?"

"Yeah, umm.. you wouldn't happen to have spare clothing would you?"

Kanade looks across the hall at the wide open door of room 42.

"Oh, you guys took that room? Great, we won't have to walk long distances. And clothes? You should already have some in the dresser. Every dorm comes with bundles of clothing."

"Oh! Haha, I guess I should've looked around before coming to ask.. hehe, I feel silly. I'm sorry for wasting your time."

Kanade shakes her head in disagreement.

"Don't be. We're here to answer any question of yours, no matter how silly or crazy it is."

"Really..?"

"Yeah, really!"

"... Is there a god?"

Kanade stood silent. She didn't know how to answer.

"T-that's actually one question I don't reall-"

"Shouldn't you be asking your self that question?"

Otonashi interrupts Kanade.

"Do you believe in a god? If you do, then yes, there is. If you don't, no there isn't. Religion is almost just like an opinion. We don't know who's right, and who's wrong. Believe in whatever gives you hope, it might just be possible. But for now.. we don't know."

Everyone went silent.

"Do you have any other questions?" Asked Otonashi.

"Not that I can think of.. thanks anyway."

"Alright, you guys know where to find us. See ya."

Otonashi closes the door. Sachi walks back to the room and pulls open the dresser drawers.

Is this really all they have? Ugly uniforms?

She pulled out a uniform and set it on the bed. She then heard the water stop running from the bathroom. A few minutes later, Shira steps out of the restroom rapped in a towel.

"Is this some kind of joke?"
Shira asked, holding up the uniform.

"It's all they have. Deal with it for now."

Shira eagerly slips into the uniform.

"Hey Shira.."

"Yeah? "

"Do you think we'll be able to go home soon?"

"Why are you asking me this? I don't know. Ask the others. All I know is that this place is our home for now."

Sachi cringed at the thought of this place being her new home.

"Shira, can't we just tell them of our past already?! I really want to get out of here ASAP."

"No! Not yet. Soon enough though."

Sachi let out a sigh.

"Now you're just being selfish.."
