"1!" Kido pointed to herself.

"2!" she pointed to Seto.

"3!" she pointed to Kano.

"What are you guys doing?" Shintaro asked.

"Member numbers!" Seto said.

"Member numbers?" the rest said simultaneously.

"Ah, it's a little gang we made, the numbers are our code names," Ayano explained.

"Then what number are you?" Shintaro asked.

"0!"

He looked at her weirdly.

"I-It's because I'm the founding leader, Kido's the actual leader since she's 1."

"And now that you guys know everything, you guys have to join too!" Kano said with a smirk.

...

...

...

"EH?!" everyone yelled in unison.

"Then, Mary is No. 4!" Kido pointed to Mary who gave a very hesitant 'yes!'

"Momo! No. 5!" she pointed to Momo.

"Takane is No. 6!" she pointed to Takane who grumbled.

"Shintaro is No. 7!" she pointed to Shintaro who smiled a very twitchy smile while sweating a bit, "I ask a few questions and this is what I get...?"

"And Haruka is No. 9!" she pointed to Haruka.

"You skipped 8," Momo said.

"Well, I thought that either Hibiya or Hiyori if we ever see them again would be number 8..."

"What kind of order did you even put us in?" Shintaro sweated.

"I... sorta did it depending on who came up in my mind first..." Kido smiled a twitchy smile too.


I remember everyone started laughing or gave a smirk... Ayano thought while walking through the school's courtyard.

Ayano kept walking and into the school building. She passed by her dad's classroom.

This was where Takane and Shintaro were playing the game and when we reunited...

She went up the stairs to find the classroom that Shintaro and herself were in.

In this route, he kept yelling at me, saying "Stop stuffing my desk with paper cranes" and he seemed to give me more company rather then say I'm a pest... I wonder if he does remember that unbeatable heat...

She kept going up the stairs to reach the top of the school building. She looks at where she is standing, feeling the breeze, and her red scarf fluttering. Ayano can see the entire city above here. The weather's nice up here, too bad she has to ruin it, but it's not like she has a choice, right?

After all, this is my lonely mission...

Ayano walks forward to the fence, she could see a ledge big enough so that a teenager could stand on it.

So I have to climb over this huh?

She grabs onto it and puts her feet on it and started climbing.

The news reporter and police will probably think I did suicide and everyone will probably hate me afterwards, but...

She grabs onto the the top of the fence.

I wonder if I'll become their "big sister" afterwards...

Ayano climbs up and sits down on top of the fence. It was a really nice view here. Now she just needs to jump down onto the ledge and jump down from the building.

"Ayano?"
