Hinako shows up for P.E. class 5 minutes late due to her wounds slowing her down.
Coach: What's wrong with you!? Stop walking funny.
Hinako: I'm sorry. I'm hurt badly.
Coach: I'm not falling for that silly excuse! Drop and give me 20!
Hinako: But…
Coach: Now!
Hinako panicked went down and tried to do push-ups, but when she tried, she nearly collapsed in pain.
Coach: What's wrong with her!?
The coach faced towards the rest of the class and the class pays attention while Hinako tries to do push-ups.
Coach: OK class! Today is going to be a very active day.
Hinako (in pain): Ohhh…
Coach: Did I tell you to stop!?
Hinako proceeds to do her push-ups.
Coach: Anyways, it's workout day today. We're going to the fitness room and you get to choose the fitness equipment you would like. It's first come, first serve however. I'll catch up with you guys as soon as Hinako finishes.
The class rushes towards the fitness room while the coach watches Hinako finish.
Shingo: Oof… first not getting food, now having to do push-ups. She's not getting a break, isn't she.
Kyo: Shingo! Focus! I'll race you to the treadmill! I'll win like always.
Shingo: Oh… not this time!
The fitness room with the fitness equipment like treadmills, bikes, weights, a giant ball, and loud music is shown.
Kyo: Ha! I win again. You get the elliptical.
Shingo: Grrrr…
Scene goes back to Hinako and the coach.
Coach: All right. That's 20 push-ups. Now go to the fitness room before the good equipment gets taken.
Hinako (thinking and crying): That felt a lot more than 20 push-ups.
Hinako made it to the fitness room only to find out that the less intensive equipment has been taken, so she had no choice but to take the stair stepper, the one she didn't want to do.
Hinako: Umm… can I…
Kyo: Dude. Just get on. You don't want the coach to get mad. He never takes excuses. Especially ones that involve pain.
Hinako tears up as she tries to do the stair stepper. As expected, she didn't even last 10 seconds without suffering and there was still 40 minutes left in class. Eventually, she fainted. With 20 minutes left in class, everyone takes a 5 minute water break.
Shingo: Whoa! What's up with her?
Kyo: I got this.
Kyo proceeds to perform CPR on poor Hinako. Hinako manages to wake up.
Hinako: Thank you so much.
Kyo: Don't mention it.
Hinako: No, I really mean…
Kyo: Ever…
Hinako: But…
Hinako continues to be depressed after that incident. They proceed to workout until the school bell rings. Hinako struggles to get to her next class. Kyo and Shingo meet up with Kyo's girlfriend, Yuki.
Yuki: Kyo! You should check this out.
The three take a peek in the classroom to find the classroom equipment ruined and the phony Hinako there.
Shingo: I thought Hinako was wounded.
Yuki: How could she do such a thing? It's the same thing as the marketplace incident yesterday.
Kyo: That's not her. She has blonde hair. That one has pink hair. And do you really think Hinako can actually beat us to this class under the condition she's in?
Yuki: Well, no.
Kyo: Exactly. She must have some really rotten luck because of that clone.
Yuki: But you didn't suffer from bad luck from your clones.
Shingo: Maybe he got lucky K' was there to exterminate them.
Kyo: I'm surprised they didn't do much considering how many there were. We should get to class. Good luck in class Yuki.
Yuki: Thanks.
Kyo and Shingo proceed to their next class. Hinako shows up a few minutes later.
Yuki: Hinako. You need to get out of here right now.
Hinako: Why? I'm not going to miss class.
Yuki: Do it before the scientist gets here.
The scientist shows up.
Yuki: Oh… too late.
Scientist: What happened to all of this stuff?
Yuki: I can explain.
Scientist: You did this!?
Yuki: No, there's this girl who looks like this girl except with pink hair and…
Scientist: So, you changed your hair color and caused havoc in this class!?
Yuki: Wait! I'm not finished!
Scientist: I heard enough. Hinako, you have done enough damage here.
Hinako (crying): No! Please…
Scientist: See me after school for detention.
Hinako: Ohhh…
The class ends and while Hinako stays in class to clean up for detention, Yuki reunites with Kyo and Shingo just outside.
Yuki: I think I got Hinako in trouble.
Shingo: Such a shame. She really didn't catch a break today.
Kyo: You didn't do anything wrong Yuki. And she really did get some rotten luck.
Out of nowhere, Hotaru appears having overheard their conversation.
Hotaru: What are you talking about? Where's Hinako?
Yuki: I got her in trouble and now…
Hotaru: You what!?
Kyo: She tried to explain the mess, but Hinako ended up in detention. She was trying to help.
Shingo: She's got the worst luck anyone could possibly have. And just because of that one person who looks like her.
Hotaru: Wait! So her doppelganger did this mess?
Yuki: I think it was her clone, but yes.
Hotaru: Clone?
Shingo: But it's just one clone. Kyo had to deal like, how much?
Kyo: Like Shingo said, I had to deal with a baseball team of clones of myself with K'. I'm pretty sure you and Hinako can deal with one.
Hotaru: What is this clone?
Shingo: They're made-up people by NESTS. Their activity as of now is unknown.
Hotaru (thinking): So, there's hope. Hope that this isn't a doppelganger's doing.
Kyo: Still, it sucks to be her.
Yuki: Kyo, we should go now. Bye now.
Hotaru: Umm… bye.
Kyo, Shingo, and Yuki leave the school while Hotaru stays behind waiting for detention to finish. In the meantime, she calls Malin for more help. Instead, another voice came through.
Hotaru: Yuri!? What are you doing in Malin's apartment?
Yuri: She requested that I would come to keep her company. Anyways, what's wrong?
Hotaru: Where's Malin?
Yuri: She's playing video games right now and can't pick up.
Hotaru: And I want to talk about clones.
Yuri: Clones? As in NESTS clones?
Hotaru: Yes. I want to know more about them. Do you know about them?
Yuri (faintly): Malin? Do you know about clones?
Yuri: Apparently she doesn't know about clones. As for me, all I know is that they are exact duplicates of someone and follow the commands of NESTS, but I just talked to Angel recently. She told me that NESTS shut down and all the clones they made have been terminated. Why do you ask?
Hotaru: I was hoping that Hinako wasn't effected by the doppelganger's effects.
Yuri: Not sure what you mean. Oh… Malin wants to talk to you now that she finished.
Malin: Hotaru, what's wrong?
Hotaru: It seems that Hinako keeps getting bad luck.
Malin: Sorry to hear. I'd like to help you, but you know I'm busy trying to catch up.
Hotaru: So what were you doing playing video games recently?
Malin: Well, uh, you know I get distracted easily. I always need to entertain myself to avoid boredom.
Hotaru: Please finish as soon as you can that way you can help us more.
Malin: Ok, I'll try. All I can say is you should try to seek help from other friends. I mean, Yuri just gave you information I didn't know.
Hotaru: I don't know who to ask though.
Malin: I know. You should ask Nakoruru. Surely she can help being the guardian of nature and all.
Hotaru: I don't know where she is though.
Malin: Try sending a letter to her then.
Hotaru: Ok, thanks.
Malin: I hope you get this figured out. I worry about you.
Hotaru: I know. I hope Hinako's issue is resolved too. Bye now.
Malin: Good bye.
Malin hangs up and Hinako comes out soon after.
Hinako: What were you talking about?
Hotaru: Your doppelganger is not a clone by NESTS.
Hinako: I figured. May Lee and I finished them off a while back.
Hotaru: But Hinako, your bad luck today, and I couldn't help you when you needed it.
Hinako: Don't worry about it.
Hotaru: But I have to, because you are my friend. A friend that I care about. Come on. Let's go home.
Hinako (crying): Hotaru… thank you.
Being careful about Hinako's wounds, Hotaru takes her back to her house where she will rest after a long day of bad luck.
Hotaru: Um… Hinako. I'm worried about how tomorrow will go.
Hinako: Well, hopefully you'll be there by my side this time.
Hotaru sees the phony Hinako again and covers the real Hinako's eyes as soon as she noticed. The phony Hinako was just staring at them the whole time.
