  1. Old_TV [Ryou steps onto the street behind City N High School unnoticed, the portal closing silently behind him. It's much colder here than it is in Osaka, making him shiver slightly.]
  2. Ryou While he still has to wait for Chika to begin her lunch break, Ryou takes out his phone, texting Anna. "Hey Anna-san. Will you be in the club room after school today?"
  3. Old_TV [Anna]: "Uhh, no? I have an exam today."
  4. Ryou "That's fine. I was mostly checking in on you. I have some questions for you, but we can do that another time."
  5. Old_TV [Anna]: "kk, stay cool."
  6. [The school bell rings soon, and Ryou can see Chika walking out of the school entrance, unwrapping a lollypop.]
  7. Ryou walks up to Chika with a short wave and a wave. "Hello Chika-san."
  8. Old_TV [Chika] (Nodding and continuing walking): "Let's talk on the way. I haven't had anything since yesterday evening."
  9. Ryou "That's fine with me." He says, walking with her. "So I heard the robed man may be the one pulling the strings, so if you could tell me what happened when you met him it'd be a big help."
  10. Old_TV [Chika]: "Yeah. His name is Janus - he is the leader of the Craftsmen of Chaos. We ran into him when we were disarming Renegade-armed ballistic rockets."
  11. Ryou "Janus... Ad where was this?"
  12. Old_TV [Chika]: "He mostly dragged time by talking, explaining his plan or something in the key. Then we fought, he nearly handled our asses to us if not for Wildcard and then disappeared into thin air. This was north of here, in a small town by the other end of the forest.]
  13. Ryou "That's lucky. What did he say his plan was?"
  14. Old_TV [The girl leads the two to a small convenience store, beginning to stock up on lollypops, candybags and king-size twix bars.]
  15. [Chika]: "Something about the Afternight. We don't really deal with it often, but he was treating it like a "World made for Overeds". I think the whole gist of his was that he's planning to move all of the Overeds to the Afternight world, and then separate the two, making this one self-destruct. I think the guy's crazy, and people in R&D are saying that it's impossible."
  16. Ryou "I'm not so sure about that. Even if they can't do it, they won't be up to something good. There's something about the Afternight I want to tell you. It goes through phases, like the moon. In a week, it'll be in its full state and something major is going to happen. I don't know what, but it will."
  17. Old_TV [Chika]: "Oh yeah, he mentioned that too. That and using some sort of satellite prototype from an abandoned military base to start separating Afternight and our world."
  18. [By the time you arrive to the counter, Chika is carrying Halloween-worthy amounts of sugar.]
  19. Ryou "I can guess which military base it came from, too." He shakes his head. "And I can guess they needed the diamond for the satellite. I wish i didn't let that helicopter get away... Anyway, if ever you guys run in to a situation like that again, or want some back up, we can be there. I just traveled to here from Osaka, so the distance doesn't matter."
  20. Old_TV [Chika] (Paying the cashier): "Cool. I was wondering what you guys did all the time anyways. We've stopped so many world ends by this point it's almost like no one else does anything."

  22. Ryou "We've mostly been working on our own in the Afternight. I admit, we've been so focused on it that I think we've lost perspective. no matter how many Mirror Gjuams we kill, more keep coming. No matter what truths we end up learning we miss out on too much of the big picture. And when it really counts, we either make the wrong choice or don't have the firepower to stop them. We've killed two...
  23. ...of the Craftsmen members so far, but with the Chaos Strain now, we're just nowhere in their league."
  24. Old_TV [Chika]: "Oh, the whole thing about a ghost-thing they have? Don't worry about it. You just have to make them mad enough to get the ghost separate from them, and beat them with your fists. That's the only thing that worked on the Janus."
  25. [Chika] (Unwrapping a candy): "Though, I really hope they don't attack us during Afternight. Our powers just -poof- out of existence, even the Wildcard."
  26. Ryou "You have no activity during the After Night?"
  27. Old_TV [Chika]: "I just sleep through it. I know that Dogu doesn't, but he's just a normal statue during that time."
  28. Ryou "That's... Very Odd. So that means you haven't fought a single Chaos Strain enemy while in the After Night?
  29. Old_TV [Chika] (Confused): "What? No. Staying awake in the Afternight feels like pulling a week-long all-nighter, don't even plan on fighting in it."
  30. Ryou "It really isn't so bad once you get used to it." He chuckles. "No wonder we have no idea what each other is doing. Our team has been in the Afternight almost exclusively. It's my fault there, I became obsessed with it."
  31. "When it first started, we couldn't even sleep during the night."
  32. Old_TV [Chika] (Waving Ryou off): "Don't even try to sell me on it. Ria's been doing that lately, and I haven't seen her outside once."
  33. Ryou "I'm not trying to..." He blinks. "Oh, right. There's definitely something I need to tell her, or someone does. She may not be able to sleep at night any more. If she turns on warding before she goes to sleep, that won't be a problem anymore."
  34. Old_TV [Chika]: "Warding? Is that going to help me?"
  35. [Chika]: "Does it like, improve sleep quality or something?"
  36. Ryou "I'm specifically talking about Ria-san. She may be staying inside all the time because she can't sleep at night any more."
  37. "When that happens, if you put up warding you'll be able to fall asleep."
  38. *she'll
  39. Old_TV [Chika]: "Okay, I guess it won't help me then. Anything else you wanted to know?"
  40. Ryou "Nothing moe I can think of. Are there any questions you wanted to ask me?"
  41. Old_TV [Chika] (Packing her things): "I'm good - I need to get back to class anyways."
  42. [Chika]: "If I'll need something, I'll ask that creepy girl with a ghost about it."
  43. Ryou "Alright. We'll talk again another time. Thanks for telling me your story."
  44. Old_TV [Chika]: "No problem. Good luck out there."
  45. Ryou waves goodbye to the girl, making his way back to the apartments. He checks the same places as last time hoping that he will find Yin somewhere.
  46. Old_TV [Chika heads back to her high school, her bag now containing more sugar than books.]
