"This is waayyy too complicated!" Kano complained.
"What was Ayano and Shintaro thinking?!" Hibiya yelled while gripping his hair.
"I'm pretty sure that Ayano-nee is the one trying to solve it while Shintaro made this whole number mess..." Seto sweated.
"'Red crane paradise'...?" Haruka started thinking of different places.
"Guys, let's just forget about this!" Kano said.
"Forget about this?! I need to figure out what Shintaro is trying to do!" Hibiya yelled.
"'Need'? Is it getting to you that bad?" Seto asked.
"Uh- sure- why not!" Hibiya forgot that they don't remember Hiyori dying in the time loops.
Haruka didn't know any place with 'red cranes' or a 'paradise' for them until he thought about one place that might be it but immediately frowned at the idea of going to that place.
"Hm? Is something wrong, Haruka?" Seto asked worriedly realizing that Haruka was now frowning and sitting in a loose fetal position.
"I thought about what place Shintaro might be talking about... but..." Haruka tightened his grip on his pants.
"'But'...?" Hibiya asked.
"You're not going to like the idea..."
"OH NO!" Kano stood up, and by telling the look on his face, disagreeing strongly with Haruka's idea, "THERE IS NO WAY ANY OF US ARE GOING BACK IN THERE!"
"'There'?" Hibiya asked.
Seto was confused at first but soon realized what place they were talking about. He covered his mouth and looked towards the ground, not wanting to tell Hibiya the place they were talking about.
Hibiya caught up with them and frowned at the idea. "Oh... that place..."
"Jeez, Ayano, you missed out on a lot!" Momo grinned.
"Uh- what were you talking about?" Ayano switched her gaze to the hall but looked back to Momo once Takane closed the door.
"Like guys, do you have any guys on your mind?" Hiyori's eyes sparkled wanting to know who Ayano had her eyes on.
"Guys on my mind?" Ayano looked down remembering Shintaro.
"Ah! Did I bring something bad up?!" Hiyori immediately regretted bringing that up.
"Huh? Um- well- I'm wondering what the guys are doing down stairs!" Ayano sorta made up.
"I told you to forget about them! They can take care of themselves," Takane said.
"I know but..." Ayano sorta lied again, "D-Don't you think we're being a little rough on them?"
"That's true..." Mary murmured, "Maybe we should apologize for being so rough on them..."
"Ugh! This is ridiculous!" Takane yelled.
"We were over-reacting and been here for awhile too," Kido said.
"Well, since danchou says so..." Momo said while getting off of her bed and opening the door again.
"Dang it, why did I have to join the dan..." Takane murmured.
They walked out of Momo's room.
"Hey, I'll go," Hibiya decided while getting up.
"Eh?! Are you sure?!" Seto panicked over Hibiya being mentally stable when inside his room.
"Yeah, since you guys saw what happened you'll get unwanted memories back if you entered, and since I didn't it wouldn't happen to me."
"O-Okay... if you say so..." Seto looked back down.
Hibiya took the paper, just in case, walked up the stairs, and through the second floor hallway looking for a door with a bobby pin in it's keyhole.
He found it.
He took a deep breath and slowly reached out his hand to grab the knob.
"...anchou says so..." he heard a door open.
Crud! Auntie! he quickly opened the door, entered the room, and closed the door as quietly as possible.
Hibiya looked around the room.
The only abnormal things were the blood stains on his bed, and a decaying stench.
He started looking around the room, finding anything that might help. He realized that something sounded like it was trying to scratch through a cage and break free.
Hibiya realized that there was a rabbit in a cage by the nightstand and bed, and a piece of paper taped to the cage.
He took the piece of paper off and looked at the note.
'Hey Hibiya, can you take care of Tono (the rabbit) for me until 8/15 2 years later and let him roam around for a bit in my room?
- Shintaro'
Sure, why not... Hibiya looked towards the nightstand and found rabbit food and a bottle of water with a taped on label that said Tono.
Hibiya grabbed the bag and bottle and settled it on the ground and let out Tono.
Tono hopped out of her cage and onto Hibiya's lap.
He took the bowls out of her cage and poured in the food in one bowl and water in the other.
Tono hopped off and ate the food and drank the water.
Hibiya watched the rabbit hop around the room when he realized something about the letter.
He read the letter again.
'Hey Hibiya, can you take care of Tono for me until 8/15 2 years later'?! Then that means he does know about the heat haze daze! And why did he write my name instead of something along the lines of, 'Whoever is reading this please take care of Tono'?!
Hibiya soon heard Tono scratching the table that had a computer on it.
He walked over to the table and noticed that Tono was specifically scratching the drawer nearest to the ground (three drawers below the one Ayano opened).
Hibiya sat down, moved Tono, and opened the drawer she was scratching and noticed that there were multiple papers with the grade '100' that seemed to be lazily tossed in there.
Tono reached into the drawer and pulled a paper out by her mouth without denting it and putted it on the ground and kept doing that.
He realized that Tono was trying to get to the bottom of the drawer so he grabbed the entire stack and laid it on the ground and found an IPhone.
Hibiya looked to Tono only to find that she went back to her cage, sleeping.
Do I unlock it? he thought while picking up the phone and turning it on and saw that it needed a password.
It needs a password?! But I wouldn't know-! The paper! Hibiya grabbed the paper out of his pocket and typed the numbers and entered it and found out that the numbers were the password.
The phone opened and he saw that Shintaro saved a draft. He tapped on it and read the draft Shintaro saved.
...
...
...
"Tch..."
"Uh- hey guys..." Ayano said awkwardly and noticed that the paper was missing.
"Hey Ayano-nee, do you need something?" Kano asked.
"We came to apologize for over-reacting and ignoring you for awhile so... sorry," Kido said.
"It's okay, you guys didn't need to apologize," Seto smiled.
"Hey, where's that idiot?" Hiyori asked.
"You guys okay now?" Hibiya asked while coming down the stairs.
"Yeah, where were you?" Momo asked.
"Bathroom," Hibiya murmured while sitting down.
"Can we go home now? It's getting late," Takane murmured.
"Yeah, well, see you guys later!" Ayano said.
