What's going on, Morimoto?
It's really early in the morning.
I'm sorry.
I could have given you this in the classroom...
But I thought a quieter place would be better.
Huh?
No way!
You serious? Isn't this place?
Sakakiba-kun.
Morning...
Jun, be sure to lock up every night.
And the table...
Clean it up.
Okay...
But I didn...
Um, hey... Ryo-niichan...
What?
No, it's nothing.
Huh? Where's Shin-niichan?
I'm sorry, Morimoto!
What?
I appreciate your feelings for me, but...
Um... I...
But if you don't take it, I'll...
But... I... I like Megu...
Yo.
Good morning.
Hey, now...
Be more considerate, will ya!?
What's going on?
Can't you tell?
She's asking me out!
Uh-huh...
Um...
Kanzato-kun, just five minutes...
Oh, sorry. Am I a little early?
No, um...
What!? Were you trying to!?
Excuse me...
How do I get to the second-year classrooms?
Kanaru?
Mayuri... chan?
Sakakiba Takuro Mayuri... chan?

That camphor tree is known as the spot for love confessions.
I'd take it the wrong way if I were in your shoes, too.
See? I really thought...
At least you got to feel the rush when Kanaru-chan asked you to talk.
I got upset for a second when I thought she was considering dating us both.
Anyway, how did the test I failed end up in Morimoto's desk?
And Shin, why did she wanna talk to you?
I said...
I see...
That Mayuri-chan must be really cute.
Yeah, she's up there. Even if you assume all new students will look cuter.
I even misplaced my test because I couldn't stop staring at her.
What's the matter with you?
Well... That Yamasaki girl...
I feel like I've met her before.
Again?
This is the Home Economics classroom. We're sewing a dress now.
And that's the Science lab.
Ooh, we've got a really cool anatomy model.
It's got a pulsing heart with flowing blood, an asymmetrical rib cage...
and the liver is exchangeable with a cirrhosis-infected one.
Right, Kanaru?
Huh?
She said that the human anatomy model is cool.
Oh... yes, that's right! It's battery-powered.
Hello, Jun-kun.
This is Kanzato-kun's brother.
Nice to meet you. I'm Yamasaki Mayuri.
Hello...
Have we met before?
Sorry. I may just be mistaken.
Well, bye.
See ya.
Oh, this is just great.
I can't say who's better than who.
I just wanna tackle both of them!
Hey, respond or something.
I sound like a perverted old man.
Yeah...
I really think I've...
What's wrong?
Hey.
Was this tree like this before?
I don't know... If you say it was, then I guess it was...
Oh!
Takuro Oh!
Takuro There it is.
Who the hell buried it so everyone can see the score?
That's crazy. How did they manage that?
Don't sound so impressed.
We should meet up with the others.
Let's go.
W-wait...
I have to go back to the dorms first, and then go to my club meeting.
You should come visit sometime.
The dorm manager's pet dog is really cute.
It's super old, though.
See you tomorrow.
Bye.
Bye-bye.
...Um, do you wanna come over to my place?
Someday, maybe.
Mayuri-chan!
I'm fine.
Once I'm all settled...
I'll come over.
Morning.
Hey, wait.
Are you all right?
Owww... Dammit.
What the-?
The school is... weird.
Weird?
Huh? There's something in here.
Kayano
A P.E. uniform...
Kayano?
No, this is some kind of mistake.
I see...
Of course rumors would start.
Yeah, it's all over the place.
Anything happening over by your classes?
Not at the moment.
So what do you think about it?
Maybe a pixie did it while we were sleeping.
I was asking a serious question.
What else could do such a thing?
You went to see it, too?
Yeah. It sounded interesting.
But that's what everyone is saying anyway.
Like, aliens or... ghosts.
Did you know? Our school is built on an old cemetery.
Oh right, you're not good with ghosts, huh?
Whatever...
Isn't the thought of a wicked, tormenting ghost scary, though?
It's not like they cause explosions.
There are wandering ghosts, possessing ghosts...
You seem to know a lot.
But you're fine with Personas. That's weird.
This is surreal.
Quite surreal.
Look, isn't that the girl?
I mean, she's...
The bell is gonna ring. Hurry back to your classes!
Persona?
It came up when I was talking with Jun last night.
But what's being done seems so pointless.
Yeah, but it's more realistic for us to think that way, instead of aliens and ghosts.
True...
It sure doesn't seem like a human's actions.
What?
It's him!
That flat-haired guy!
That flatty looked the type to do stuff like this.
I don't really agree.
Why don't we come investigate at night?
...No, nevermind.
That's it.
Let's see it happen for ourselves!
If it's a ghost, then we'll take funny pictures with it and go home!
Don't make it sound like it's some fun adventure.
Something really wrong is happening, you know?
What're you gonna do if a ghost really appears?
Don't worry. I'll protect you!
There it is...
Hmm... whatever.
A school at night is really like... a school at night.
Yeah...
Don't back out now.
What did you say!?
Um... What did you say!?
Um...
Good evening.
Sorry I'm late...
What is it?
Are you trying to scare us?
Jun-kun?
I spoke with security and had them disarm the security system.
Hey, Takuro, you're walking too fast!
Are you listening!?
You can grab onto me if you're scared.
Idiot...
Hey, have you heard the rumor?
Rumor?
How all these things started happening when Yamasaki-san came to the school.
Really?
I think Kanaru suggested this out of concern.
What was that!?
Over there! I saw something!
I swear there was someone...
Don't say stuff like that!
Y-you're scaring me!
Hey, Takuro!
Seriously, I can't take ghosts!
I thought you were gonna take pictures with them!
Not today! Today's a bad day!
You're not making any sense!
They sound like they're having fun.
Yeah? Is that right?
Oh yeah...
What did you need the other day?
That morning...
I had a favor to ask... but it's okay now.
It wasn't about Shadow Extraction, was it?
What? No...
I-It wasn't!
How long have you two known each other?
Huh?
Yamasaki-san... She's kind of mysterious.
We were raised at the same orphanage.
It's coming.
Do you hear that?
What the-?
Run!
Takuro and Megumi are coming to meet with us.
Are you okay?
Yeah...
I-I'm sorry...
It's fine...
Mayuri-chan!
Yamasaki! Hey, are you okay!?
Shouldn't we get the ambulance?
Y-you're right.
It's not going through.
What is it? Low battery?
Can't be...
We were just using it earlier...
Whoa, hey, Shin...
Where's Jun?
Huh?
No way, did we lose him?
I'll stay here, so please go look for him.
But...
We'll be fine.
Okay.
I'll try calling from outside.
Okay.
Takuro, let's go.
S-sure.
A protective charm.
Mayuri-chan...
Are you looking for someone?
You must be lonely.
I'm sorry... This is all I can do...
Mayuri-chan! I'm so glad...
Huh?
Jun-kun! Jun!
Where were you?
I just needed to...
It's over now, though.
What? Is it working now?
Hello?
Really!?
Yamasaki-san is awake!
Nothing's wrong today.
I never would have imagined the camphor tree was haunted...
But I'm more surprised Jun had that kind of sixth sense.
Haunting ghosts...
What is it, Kanzato-kun?
Personas are pretty much the same thing as ghosts.
Yeah? Is that right?
You two get way too scared!
I had this in my hand until I got back home.
Thank you.
Good Health
Oh, this is Kanzato-kun's...
Oh...
See you later.
Are you better now?
Yes... but I don't remember much about last night.
I hope you'll find the person you're looking for.
Make sure you hold onto her.
She can be dangerous.
Sure. Sunday, right? Got it.
Okay. I'm looking forward to seeing the manager's dog.
See ya. Bye-bye.
That thing is scaring me.
Can you pull it back in?
Has your childhood friend changed at all, Saki?
Nope. There should be no problems.
That's good to hear.
Take this.
Don't you think you're taking too much of it?
You look better than I expected, though.
They treated me like I was a ghost.
Are you gonna come back?
Or are you gonna keep playing school?
I may have found him.
Are you talking about Toma?
No...
I think I'll keep playing school a little while longer.

Admiration
An unexpected visit by the pale phase.
An abiding look to cross a subtle heartbeat.
A bright and gentle afternoon.
Singing
Consciousnesses flickering deeply.
An invisible broken heart everyone has touched.
The truth that she knows.
The truth that only he knows.
