"Um...hello?" Naoi said with a confused expression. He had no idea what he just witnessed, which intrigued him even more.

"Please...go away…" he heard a soft, nervous voice say. "I really don't like 'visitors'."

"Where are you? I'm not trying to hurt you, just come out." Naoi said calmly, hoping that his tone of voice would make the person less nervous. He would be very angry if he came all the way to the Guild in the middle of the night for nothing.

"You...won't hurt me? Promise?" The voice said shyly. Naoi felt like this situation was kinda ridiculous.

"Of course not. P-promise…" He was unsure about making a promise with someone he can't even see. He started seeing pixels forming together in front of him.

The pixels formed into the shape of the girl he saw. He was amazed, and couldn't wait to tell Otonashi!

"Okay...I'm here. But we should probably get out of this place." She said, back to her nervous tone.

"Why is tha-" he was cut off by the sound of the floor vibrating under his feet. Eventually rocks started falling from the ceiling as well.

"Is this some kind of avalanche?!" He panicked. Maybe this was the after effects of unlocking the door, he thought.

"Please! We have to hurry!" The girl grabbed his hand and dragged him throughout the Guild quickly. Naoi could only see rocks falling everywhere through his blurred vision.

He blacked out.

He woke up in the infirmary.

He looked around and the girl appeared to be nowhere in sight. He thought it could've been a dream, but it was far too real to be something like that. Apparently, the girl was nice enough to bring him all the way to the infirmary and wrap bandages around his head. He guessed that he was hit on the head with a rock. No wonder he fainted.

The Bell rung. Which meant it was time for either class or lunch. Naoi didn't care. He went to the cafeteria anyway. The night before was exhausting.

Lunchroom! -

He had a meal ticket for rice, so that was his lunch. Luckily, he saw Otonashi and Hinata having a conversation at one of the tables. He didn't really care about the latter, but seeing Otonashi was good enough to convince him to sit with them.

...He looked to his side and saw the girl from the night before, sitting at a table in a dark corner alone.

He really wanted to talk to Otonashi, but he could wait long enough for Naoi to talk to the mysterious girl. So, he slowly advanced to the table she was at.

When he walked close enough, she still didn't notice him. He cleared his throat to clarify his presence. She jumped, with that same nervous look as before.

"Hello there." He said with a kind smile. When he does something like that, he calls it his "charm", or more specifically, his "student council president charm". Otonashi always scoffs when he mentions it.

"Oh...hello." She whispered. He could already tell she wasn't fond of talking to people. How could she be when she's been trapped behind a door the whole time?

"I deeply apologize for the incident last night. Did you rest well?" She spoke a little louder. It seems that she must've escaped without a scratch. She spoke so properly. Naoi wasn't used to people around him speaking like that, except for Angel, NPCs, and sometimes Yuri.

"I'm fine, by the way, I'm Ayato Naoi, student body vice president. You can call me God." She giggled.

"Mr. Naoi, huh? That's a wonderful name." She smiled. No one called him " " before, he felt like someone finally respected him.

"I have a few questions for you, if you don't mind." He said, determined to seek information from this mysterious, "glitchy" girl. She started to look nervous.

"Okay… hopefully I can remember the answers." She said.

"Alright then, what's your name?" He asked. He wanted to start with a simple question to not overwhelm her.

"M- my name? On no… Ggrh... m̖̮̦̹̗̊ͧ̀̕͢ͅͅȩ̥̭̭̹͔̪̤ͣ̈ͥ͘a̾̌̇ͩ̏́̕... ̷͉̦̱̍̒͐͝t̪͓̬͍͍̤̟͈͗͋̒̊̽h̷̨̠̩̰̯̭̻̙̓͒͢i̓͂̒ͮ…" She started to shake and glitch in and out. It really hurt Naoi's eyes to be honest.

"OK! OK! Please stop! You're going to hurt yourself!" Naoi yelled. He looked behind him to see if anyone was looking. She eventually calmed down.

"What was that?" Naoi looked in shock.

"I am so sorry! That happens when I get too nervous or confused!" She apologized.

"So you can't remember?" Naoi asked. If would be a shame if the poor girl couldn't remember her own name.

"Not at the moment…" she said, completely restored to her timid personality.

"OK. Then I'll make you a name. How about 'glitch girl'?" Naoi pitched the terrible idea to her. Her look almost turned to disappointment.

"Please don't call me that. That sounds mean " she said as if Naoi was purposely picking on her. He thought she was being too sensitive at this point, but he reminded himself that she's been sheltered from everyone the whole time.

Naoi thought hard about a name the girl would accept…

"Nanami!"

"What?"

"I'll call you Nanami from now on! How's that?" He said excitedly.

"But why 'Nanami', Mr. Naoi?" She asked, confused.

"Nanami means 'seven seas' and when I look at the blue color your hair fades into, it reminds me of the sea. It can also mean beautiful." He winked at her cheerfully. She blushed for a moment.

"Well, I guess Nanami isn't so bad, its actually kind of nice." She smiled happily. Her stomach started rumbling. She started to blush really hard.

"Hey...want to share my rice? You must be hungry." He offered her.

"No! I couldn't possibly take your lunch!" She rejected.

"Come on! It won't bother me. You need it more than I do." She looked at the rice for a minute…

"Thank you so much!" She said and quietly started to eat the rice.

"It's no problem." Naoi was looking forward to knowing more about Nanami.
