"...You okay, Sara?" [Name] asked hesitantly, watching the high-schooler rub her head.

"Y-Yes...I'm fine."

Reko growled. "Goddamn piece of shit! He's spouting more stupid lies!"

"So's it really a lie...?"

"Obviously! He's at a disadvantage, so he's pretending like he doesn't remember!"

"That said..." Keiji muttered. "...he's not going to answer us like that, either."

"Um..." Kanna raised her hand. "Could you trust Kanna to handle it?" The group looked to her with bewildered stares.

"I'll try to find the truth behind what Sou's thinking...I'm sure he'll be less wary of me than the rest of you...!"

After a moment of silence, Keiji chuckled. "...Sounds good."

Reko whipped her head around to face him. "The hell are you on about?! That guy's, like...a bad influence on Kanna!"

"I think you're thinking too little of her, Reko." [Name] spoke up. "Just cause she's a kid doesn't mean she can't handle herself."

"...We've been underestimating Kanna, I'd say." The blond man scratched the back of his neck. "She might be a stronger girl than we thought."

"[Name]...! Mr. Policeman...!" Kanna looked at the two with wide eyes.

"...But don't let him use you, Kanna. Adults with bad intentions...are scarier than you can imagine."

She nodded with a determined smile. "...Right!"

"So...what do we do now, meow?" Gin asked.

"We got three whole days. No use in rushin' the attractions and hurtin' ourselves." Q-Taro pointed out.

"...It might be wise to discuss how we're going to use these tokens, too."

"...Tokens...meow..." The elementary-schooler looked at the coins with a conflicted expression.

Soon enough, the group split up to trade tokens with others.

"[N-Name]?" A voice quietly called, making them turn around.

"Kanna? I thought you were gonna go back to Sou's room?"

"I will...but Kanna wanted to talk, if that's alright..."

[Name] blinked, their eyebrows furrowing. "You sure? I don't mind, but..."

"Besides, I can get more information or new dialogue this way..." They immediately slapped themselves after that thought. "No, shut up. That's rude to Kanna."

"Sara's busy talking with Alice, so Kanna doesn't want to bother her." She explained. "Um...and I also wanted to get to know you more, [Name]."

"Hm...well, alright then. We can chat for a bit if you want."
