[Name] laid on her bed late at night as she stared at the glow-in-the-dark star stickers on her ceiling thinking about that encounter with Hanako's twin, who apparently is the guy he murdered. Hanako is a twin, just like her, but why would you kill someone who could be your other half? Maybe they had issues or they hated each other. What [Name] couldn't get is that why is the murderer afraid of their victim? "I shouldn't be thinking about this. I have classes tomorrow." [Name] covered her face and tossed to the side, trying to get some sleep.

From morning to noon, [Name] was still thinking about it. Hanako's backstory was shown to her like some kind of trail while the ghost itself barely said a word. "Maybe people from different species can't really share braincells together." [Name] raised her chopsticks to her mouth, spacing out as imaginary planets and stars started to surround her. Yashiro and Aoi looked at their friend in concern.

"What have you fallen in love with this time?" Aoi asked.

"The only thing I could pull is a push door." [Name] deadpanned. "It's probably for the best if I were a supernatural." After lunch, [Name] was called to the faculty room for some career counseling since she had been avoiding that from the start. She dreaded talking about her future because years ago she couldn't imagine herself being in her shoes in the present.

"Actually [Surname]-san," A female faculty smiled apologetically at [Name], she was sure that this woman is her counselor according to what she was assigned to. "I'm really sorry, I'm not available for today. I decided to pass you to Tsuchigomori-san as a temporary replacement. He seems to have known you since he volunteered." [Name] sighed in relief, she felt comfortable talking to the spider supernatural after what she saw in the 4PM bookstacks.

[Name] arrived in the Science prep room where Tsuchigomori is chilling there smoking his pipe. "Sensei, thanks for picking me-actually, can I not have career counseling for today?" She asked as she made her way to him. "There's something that's been bothering me lately."

Tsuchigomori offered a swivel chair for her to sit on. "Is it about Honorable Number Seven?"

[Name] nodded as she sat down, placing her hands on her lap. "Yeah, I haven't been able to find him lately whenever I go to the bathroom. I tried looking around but he didn't want to show up." [Name] explained as she frowned while scraping the sides of her nails. "I noticed that his past was only shown to me but he never said a word about anything. I figured that Hanako hated talking about himself but I want him to open up to me."

Tsuchigmori sighed, as much as he didn't want to be involved between the two of them since it is something that they should talk about together. But he had students ask him for better relationship advice so might as well just apply his knowledge. "You're going to have to ask him." Tsuchigomori replied. "At the very least, Honorable Number Seven isn't ready to let you know yet. That's why he hasn't said anything." [Name] looked down on her lap as she grasped to the skirt of her uniform.
