These are Niko's 7 Mysteries
Mystery One:
Why was Niko on the train?
This one is hard but as soon as Niko is a little stronger, I think Mama or someone will explain this.
Mystery Two:
Where was Niko on the train?
A Japan Railroad investigator called the house when Mama was away. Niko told him she could only speak to him with a lawyer present. He begged Niko to answer questions, and for some reason Niko believed him. Very roughly:
"If you can remember anything, it will help us investigate."
"Niko remembers being in the dark and her body flying into things and every time she flew into something, she felt something break inside. Niko doesn't remember anything before that." And even that, Nikki-chan, I only remember as a dream Niko had a couple of times.
"It's a pity ... Yazawa-san, we know you bought a ticket for the train. But no one punched it or checked it, and you happen to be the only passenger, alive or dead, on that run that had that status. Also, where you were found was where people thrown from the first car were found, mostly crew and some people having breakfast. But no one who survived said they saw you in the crew area or having breakfast. Our video footage doesn't show you there at any time, either. It's as if you sprinted for the first car just as the train was derailing. But no one remembers that, either. Stranger things have happened in high speed train crashes, but your case is, nonetheless, quite strange. If you remember anything, please contact me, as my job is not to minimize the damages for JR but rather to fix any shortcomings our trains or crew or procedures have which caused this to be such a tragic derailment."
Mystery Three:
The former Idol Research Club.
Why were Ah-chan and Mim-chan still there when Nozomi said they were gone, why did they both leave suddenly, at the same time, to the same place? Why did my Rin-san and Yuzu-san both leave suddenly at the same time?
Mystery Four:
The music room.
It is a cliche, but when we passed the music room, we suddenly heard the piano start playing. Nozomi said it was a ghost. It was very beautiful and skilled playing.
However, it's not a proper mystery anymore nowadays, so:
Mystery Four:
The new Idol Research Club.
How did they suddenly materialize at Otonokizaka, already second- and third-years, all knowing each other and all friendly, and immediately start doing routines? Is it that they were all in that Muse thing in middle school, and they are recreating it now? Of course, if we had had six more members like them, the work for me and Ageha and Mimi would have been much less, and more fun.
Mystery Five:
Nozomi and Eli
What is going on with them? Are they fighting? Is Alisa siding with Nozomi? Did Nozomi confess? A couple of times Nozomi rubbed Niko's breasts to tease her, but normal girls don't do that. Why hasn't Eli come back from her college hunting, or has she? This is an important mystery, since Niko is unfortunately somewhat dependent on Nozomi, Eli, and now Maki for help. Also, why does Nozomi have so much time off from school chores to help Niko? Niko is grateful, though. It seems like it is Principal Minami's doing, but I hope it doesn't harm Nozomi's school progress.
Mystery Six:
Maki
Who is she, and why did she do the weird things she did at first and how did she and Niko get so close in such a short time? In a way it's like the mystery of Nozomi. Nozomi told me the car that took me to Maki's party was Maki's family car and that a hired driver drove it. If Maki's family can afford a hired driver whenever they feel like it, why would she need to tutor anyone, including Niko? But she seems to be good at it. Is she a girl-liking girl, or just a lonely friend-seeking girl?
Mystery Seven:
Niko.
How badly is Niko crippled? Have I lost my memory or my ability to do school work? Will I have seizures? Will my arm and leg heal straight or be crooked for life? How long was Niko in the hospital before she woke up?
This one should clear up soon, too. Doctor Nishikino is probably ready to tell Niko the answers now. Or after the surgeries, at least.
