“We need to chase after Rise’s flame or we're going to lose it forever.” You tell everyone, then you look at Uccelli. “Take care of Yu Yan, someone help her move to a bed.”
“W-wait, didn’t you call me ‘Rise’? How did you know my name?” Rise is now both confused and hyperventilating! Good one! It appears her real name is indeed ‘Yu Yan’ and that wasn't a lie.
“I’ll help her.” Osgood doesn’t want to chase after the flame; yeah, the thing was moving slowly, but he has a car!
“Let’s go, boss.” Henry seems ready, already at the door.
“He has a broken arm, you help me.” Uccelli shushes away Osgood’s aid. Henry seems confident in dealing with his teacher.
“W-why are you guys wearing masks by the way, except for that one guy?” Yu Yan wonders. Uccelli takes hers off at this.
“We want to help you, just relax... I'll take the ropes off.” Damn, Uccelli is good at this.

“The rest should be getting here, we’ll catch up with them outside.” Osgood says as he checks on his phone.

You two ran from the clinic! The flame move slowly, so catching up with it shouldn't be a big deal. Luckily outside, both Bradford and Amelia were about to walk in! You had to ignore them for a second as you quickly search where her flame could be. There it is, it’s in the sky up there moving slowly…!

“Johnny! Are you okay? Nothing happened to you, right? Let me check!” Amelia says talking real fast, worried for you.
“He was inside the clinic, he’s probably fine.” Bradford calms your sister, did they get here together?
“Guys! Rise’s flame escaped! It’s over there, we need to chase after it!”
“But I can’t see it…” Amelia says. Bradford takes his camera and takes a pic of where you're pointing.
“That should make things clearer.” Bradford shows off his pic.
“You two will need to give me directions, cuz I'm blind over here.” Osgood says as everyone gets on board the van!

Instead of taking pictures, Bradford used the camera’s little screen to show to everyone where the flame was, in real time… And so, the van slowly chased the flame. It’s kinda awkward…

“…” From Osgood's face, it looks like he's thinking if it’s illegal to move this slowly.
“Where is it going…?” Bradford keeps his camera steady on the flame.
“Weren’t the flames attracted to Constance a while ago? She used to put them back together!” Amelia remembers old plot points! Good for her!
“Maybe it’s searching for a Judge?” You ask aloud. You feel stupid right after, because Athelone is a Judge already, and you're probably wrong.
“Don’t they have free wills? Why would they do something like that?” Osgood seems annoyed driving his baby at low speed. “For all we know, the Judges just eat them up.”

After painful hours of the worst car chase ever to happen, the flame entered a tall building through the outer wall, and hasn’t left it from any direction at all. Must be staying inside for some reason, if it hasn't moved on by now.

“I guess this is it.” Osgood states, as he checks the gas on the vehicle, putting it on park.
“Ka-shing Corp.? Do you think they would let us in?” Amelia wonders as she reads the name on the front of the building.
“Should we go inside…?” Bradford turns off his camera and puts it away.

What are you going to do?

>Ask the security if you can get inside. Osgood is a college student right? Maybe he's here to tour the premises
>Leave, the thing is not leaving anytime soon, and you need to plan what you are going to do next.

Ask if they have a floor directory, then try to figure out which floor the flame went into, and write down what time the flame got to the tower. You might not be able to enter in, but if you can get access to the employee timeclock, you might be able to whittle down who now has the flame.

“That looks unreasonably evil, even from a design choice…” You say, bewildered just by looking at it.
“That’s… not quite the response I was looking for.” Bradford says in a jokingly tone.
“I’m going to call Jackson. Maybe we can get some info on this place.” You tell the group, pulling your phone out as you do so.
“Then Bradford and I are going to go ask security what’s going on in there.” Osgood nudges Bradford on the shoulder. “You two keep an eye on my baby, you hear?”
“Be safe.” Amelia nods, and you start dialing the ex-officer’s number.

You call Roger Jackson! He was happy to hear how you're doing, and you explain the reason for your call to him. He said that the Ka-shing Corporation is an extremely new company no more than two months old, that appeared out of nowhere and became one of the big giants in Pokyo Lokyo’s real-estate. Obviously, it was under investigation by another branch of the police, suspecting that the CEO had a hand in the assassination of multiple leaders of other rival companies. Jackson said the police knew it was flame related, but no one could prove how any of this stuff occurs – so they couldn’t 'officially' move forward with the case – though that didn't stop them from continuing to collect small evidence and watching their activites. It’s a strange feeling to know that the police are actually aware of these supernatural happenings – but by the sound of it, it’s just a small group inside the force. The owner seems to be the eccentric philanthropist type and he’s very flashy; those in the force say he’s exactly the type of person you'd imagine him to be, complete with dirty laundry here and there.

Oh, he also mentioned he got Craig’s number and that he’s going to be a regular at Poker Nights from now on…! Is it going to still be Poker Night next time? Who knows!

“Soooo… Anything good?” Amelia asks while sitting in the driver’s seat.
“What are you doing in there? You want to make Osgood mad?” You lose focus! But it’s Amelia’s fault, so it's okay.
“Uhm… Sorry…” She moves back to her seat. That happened. Anyway, you tell her what you know, and the dudes come back as soon as you finish. They don't look too happy.
“I have only bad news; they won’t let anyone in unless we have an appointment.” Osgood explains, deflated.
“Don’t worry, I got the perfect pic! Presto!” Bradford shows off a picture of the flame getting through the building seconds before disappearing. “Look, if my math ain’t wrong – the flame is on the 57th floor!”
“How tall is that building?” Amelia turns and looks back at the tower of a building, her voice sounding apprehensive and small. Understandable, especially with how noticably intimidating and cold the skyscraper looks, compared to the others in the city.
“Okay. This is the info I got from Jackson…” You tell both Bradford and Osgood what you just told Amelia.

“They must have a connection with the girl somehow, if the flame got drawn here over that much distance. They'll probably have people look for her.” Osgood says, all business. “If we don’t do this right, we'll have to fight her again.”
“You really think the owner has something to do with the crazy girl?” Bradford questions without looking away from watching the building. He doesn’t seem that convinced.
“It would be very naïve of us to think that this is all just a big coincidence. We've been through too much interconnected crap to think otherwise.” Osgood frowns, folding his arms.
“And what do we do? It’s not like we can sneak in and take the flame, none of us can grab it or anything.” Amelia says, as the four of you stare at the ground in silence for a bit.
“…Maybe we could find a way to lure it out?” Bradford speaks up first.
“How?” Amelia asks.
“I don’t know… but if it got pulled this whole way here, then maybe we could pull it somewhere else?” Bradford has no idea how to make his idea work.

What do you do?

>Go back to the Clinic! You know where to look now, it’s not like the flame is lost! Maybe the others might have a clue, or something. Either way, you can afford to leave this to later.
>Wait! Maybe you will spot the owner, and asking him kindly could get you in! If he's as much of a philanthropist as you were told, then Osgood's excuse could work!
>Write In.

“Pull it? I feel like you’re trying to think outside the box without putting too much ‘think’ into it.” Osgood isn’t impressed in the slightest.
“We should go back to the clinic. Maybe the others might have a clue or something.” You tell the group.
“Why there of all places?” Osgood grumbles before getting back inside the van.

And the group goes back to the clinic! It appears Calamity is now checking on Ri— Yu Yan! You need to get used to calling her by her real name; Trent is resting in another room. Anyway, the whole gang is here at the reception!

“Is she going to be fine?” You ask as you entered with the other three.
“Define ‘fine’, because I don't think this is it.” Henry says, a little deflated; maybe dealing with Yu Yan's tantrum wasn't as easy as you think it was.
“Dr. Calamity said her wounds were ‘unusual’ but he didn’t say anything about her being at risk.” Uccelli explains. “How did it go for you guys?”

Osgood explains the situation with extreme detail! As slowly as the chase was.

“Never heard about that place before.” Uccelli seems lost too.
“Jackson did say it was relatively new.” Osgood shrugs.
“Man… This only happened because shit was looking dangerous back there, her partner was killing her! You guys said she never took it that far.” Henry seems somewhat pissed about the situation; it’s true, you guys never saw her magic bullshit getting to that point – blood pouring out of orifices and all. Uccelli stares at Henry with a vexed expression. “S-Sorry, m-my bad… But you’re seriously going to get like that every time I swear?”
“It’s not the time to discuss this, and you know it.” Uccelli shuts Henry down hard.
“But what are we going to do? It’s not like we can grab it, right? Unless we bring Constance with us…” Osgood throws some suggestions out.
“That’s way too risky, not to mention super visible.” You shut the idea down.
“I was just saying, but I know it’s a terrible idea.” Osgood replies back. “Point is, if we leave it there, we have no idea what'll happen to it… Or if it will ever come back to Rise.”
“Maybe we should sneak in with the girl, and let them go back to how they were before!” Henry says, pumping his fist.
“So they can attack us for our troubles? Suuuuuuure.” Bradford shuts the jock down.
“Maybe we can drug her up or something. We just need her there, not awake.” Henry clarifies.
“That’s totally going to convince the flame to go back to her…” Osgood backs Bradford's sarcasm up.
“I don’t get why we're trying to take back her flame in the first place, though. Yeah she knows a thing or two about the whole mess, but is it really worth the risk in the end?” Bradford brings up a valid point. Rise/Yu Yan isn't the only person you can get information from, there's other factions you can very well choose to go after.

“The flame itself is the dangerous thing here, Bradford.” Osgood counters Bradford's point. “Letting it loose will cause us more problems in the long run.”
“How can you be so sure? Haven't more than half of the participants in this war been killed already, or something? What can this one little entity do that the others couldn't? Not only did it lose once, but some of the killed people might have had more overpowered abilities than this thing.” Bradford again makes a valid point. Amelia raises her hand, having something to say.
“What is it, Amelia?” Uccelli interrupts everyone and brings attention to your sister.

“I was thinking about it on the way here, about a way to grab the flame... but it made me think, isn’t the way flames behave a bit strange?"
“What do you mean?” Bradford now turns to Amelia, still interested.
“I don’t know if you knew this, but Johnny used to be able to grab them and communicate with them before he got a partner. One thing that got me thinking was that there wasn’t any set procedure or weird magic stuff involved in taking them away from us, or anyone else for that matter, different from what Athelone does, and there wasn’t any brain damage.” Amelia explains this so well you almost forget she's your ditzy sister. She must be learning a lot from that bear of hers… Good for her, you suppose.
“It wasn’t like we couldn’t use them again.” Uccelli says, holding her flame hand up and looking at you, remembering the first time you did that to her, all the way back. “Athelone goes far beyond what Johnny could do, and eliminates every trace of the entity inside their host. At least, that’s how I view it.”
“I see… So the flame can return to their host no problem even after removed, right?” Amelia closes her eyes in deep thought, then suddenly opens them wide. “W-wait, nevermind!” Amelia seems to just realize the implications of her plan, whatever that may be…

What do you plan to do about the missing flame?

>Plan A: Sneak Constance into the building and use her to grab the flame!
>Plan B: Sneak Yu Yan into the building and hope the flame comes back to her!
>Plan C: Leave things as they are. Fuck that flame! Target another group instead!
>Plan D: Leave it for later! Maybe you can come up with something better eventually.
>Plan E: Anonymously contact the CEO of that company directly, and assume they're in on all this. Completely skip all the bullshit in your way! Refuge in audacity… or something like that!

“I know what you were thinking, Amelia. I can temporarily remove my flame to grab Yu Yan’s, right? It’s not a bad idea, you know.” You admit to your little sister.
“No! No no no! It’s a bad idea! I don’t want you to do anything stupid!” Amelia grabs your arm and moves it for every ‘no’ she said.
“That’s a bold move, boss.” Henry is impressed by how quick you are to self-sacrifice for the team.
“You sure about this, dude?” Osgood stares at you, wanting confirmation.
“Yeah, I am.” You nod determined.
“You always act so recklessly…” Uccelli doesn’t seem too pleased, but the look she gives you says something else.
“Ehm… I don’t want to ruin the moment, but we really can’t do anything without the little girl, Constance. Isn’t she unconscious?” Bradford cools off the situation.
“Yeah! That’s right! We can’t do anything! Nope!” Amelia nods furiously in agreement with the overweight man.

“So the idea is to sneak in the place, right?” Osgood says, to clarify for the future.
“Nah, we should anonymously contact the CEO of that company directly, assuming the police are right and they are in on all this. We should skip all the bullshit that we know is going to happen from sneaking in, and just tell them to give the flame back or there will be consequences.” You explain calmly.
“Okay, now I agree with Ms. Teacher here, you’re just acting recklessly.” You lost Osgood.
“Nah! We clearly could beat them in a fight, five on one! We have the app thing to turn off their guns and stuff.” Henry agrees with you.
“What makes you think he’s the only one with a flame in that corporation of his?” Osgood raises an eyebrow at Henry.
“What makes you think we're even at a disadvantage to begin with?” Henry asks back.
“Either way, we can’t do it now, can we? Let’s wait for Constance to wake up.” You tell everyone.
“Yeah, we should wait until tomorrow.” Uccelli sighs a little. “Dr. Calamity said she is usually up in the mornings, since her condition isn’t getting any better…”
“I think everyone is forgetting something, what are we going to do with the crazy girl?” Bradford reminds everyone what made the issue in the first place.
“Dr. Calamity said he will patch her up and she'll be good to go…” Uccelli’s face looks grim, she has no idea what you guys are going to do with her.

What are you going to do with Yu Yan in the meantime?

>Bring her home, you will have a new hobo to go with your old hobo!
>Leave her at the clinic, tell Doctor Calamity to tell Constance to leave her unconscious.
>Leave her at the clinic, convince the doctor to just pretend she can’t leave until she fully recovers.
>Ask if anyone in the group can take care of her…

“I guess I’ll have to bring her home with me…” Another hobo for you… Hooray? “We need her as far away as possible from Constance.”
“B-b-but can anyone else do it? You already have someone to take care of, and it’s already really hard to get some privacy in your apartment…” Uccelli says, wanting for someone else to bite the bullet.
“Shouldn’t Johnny be the one complaining about his own privacy, and not you?” Osgood smells something fishy.
“That’s exactly what I meant! He's still growing, and living in such small place crowded with girls isn’t good for him!” Uccelli for some reason is against the idea. Jealous maybe?
“Then take her yourself.” Henry says dismissively, gaining Uccelli’s death glare for his trouble. “W-what…?”
“Ohhhhhh, I get what she means!” Bradford’s eyes are wide open now.
“Y-you do?” Uccelli seems surprised.
“Yeah, he can’t afford to feed two mouths by himself! Let’s help him out.” Bradford nods, starting to pull out his wallet.
“Uh… Yeah… That… That's totally what I meant.” Uccelli sounds disappointed.

After a small talk between the group, you gained 80 Gor$ for food expenses. Hooray! You now have 136 Gor$ in total.

“Johnny, are you sure you want to take her in? Isn’t she dangerous?” Amelia asks, while the rest seems to be talking about food for some reason.
“Honestly, I have no idea what to expect. Remember, Nariko’s personality is supposedly completely different.” You remind your sister.
“I’ll call dad; I’m going to stay the night just in case! I can’t go right now because I have to do my homework, but as soon as I finish I’ll be there.” Amelia doesn’t want anyone to hurt you.
“Amelia, don’t worry. I’ll call you first if anything happens, okay?”
“O. K.” Amelia nods to you.
Osgood needed to leave, so like always most of the group left with him… Cheap bastards. You’re now left with only Uccelli! Why? It appears Yu Yan only took a liking to her, so suddenly being alone with you wasn’t a good idea. Nina explained that she hasn’t disclosed any information with her, not even her name – as she knows that if she recovers her memories, everything can and will get dangerous. You enter the room where the doc left Yu Yan. It’s the only room with multiple beds in the clinic, and Trent is there too – but he’s still asleep. Yu Yan is resting on her bed awake, staring at the ceiling with an expression you can't quite place.

“…” Yu Yan doesn’t seem to be happy in the slightest.
“Hey Yu Yan, it’s me. How did everything go?” Uccelli tenderly asks.
“Good, I guess…” She responds half-assedly, turning to her. “Hey, you’re with that guy, you know my name! Tell me what’s going on, please!” Yu Yan gets all excited when she finally sees you. She looks just like how Nariko did.

>>2401128

“I’ll explain what happened so far and tell you why I can’t say much. Hopefully that’s alright with you.” You tell her, while Uccelli sits on Yu Yan’s bed.
“…” Yu Yan doesn’t seem amused, but she’s willing to listen anyway.

You tell her more or less what happened that left her injured, what is going to happen, that you’re going to take care of her, and that you are looking for her memories.

“…And that’s it.” You finish! With Uccelli’s help everything is clearer to Yu Yan…! Though she still barely knows a thing about what’s going on.
“Why do I have to go with you guys?” Yu Yan is in the dark.
“For your safety and our safety.” You respond, you need to keep her safe because… Uh…
“I do remember you guys yelling at someone to stop hurting me. What happened there?” Yu Yan asks.
“I can't tell you that.” You say a little quickly.
“So what’s your name?”
“Can’t tell you either.”
“There must be something you can tell me! My mind goes dark every time I’m trying to remember anything, my friends, my family – it’s all gone! Why don’t you lock me up in a cage or something if I’m that dangerous?! That’s probably what you two are planning, right? Just give me something, god damn it!” She grabs you and desperately shakes you. Her eyes go pitch dark for second-long flashes, she looks quite desperate.
“Calm down, you must understand this isn’t easy for us either.” Uccelli grabs Yu Yan’s arm, and tries to calm her down.
“Then let me go! I’ll find the answers myself! I’ll find my memories alone, who needs you two?!” Yu Yan pulls her arm away, looking quite determined. “By the looks of it, if I end up dead in a ditch somewhere, that'd be great for you two, right?! So why don’t you stop playing around and let me be!”

She's in a completely different state than Nariko! This isn't going to be easy to deal with... How will you go about doing this?

“You really want to try living on your own with memory loss like this…?” You fold your arms as you stare at her. She looks back at you in anguish, that slowly gives way to determination.
“I’ll do whatever I want!” She gets out of her bed and immediately trips after taking two steps… You injured her right leg before and it doesn't seem to have recovered to its fullest.
“Are you okay?!” Uccelli seems worried, why? She tried to kill you before. Her having lost her memories doesn't erase what happened.
“Tch, do you honestly care?” Yu Yan is one rude lady.
“Okay, Yu Yan. I’m sorry, My name is Johnny.” You move in front of Yu Yan and try to help her against her wishes. “I honestly don’t want anything bad to happen to you.”
“Yeah, you'll be safe, we promise.” Uccelli says. “We will try to recover your memories too.” Okay, now you’re getting ahead of yourself, Nina.
“Just please help me…” Yu Yan looks like she’s about to burst into tears, not acting like how you were expecting at all.
Something really fucked up must have happened to her, for her to become as crazy as she was before. What could it have been? Family related? Just issues of circumstance? Events building on each other over time until the last straw? And could Nariko have gone through similar things before her own memory got wiped? You don't have the answers to any of these questions, but you feel a little less callous towards Yu Yan now…

You and Uccelli took Yu Yan to your apartment! Trent isn’t going to wake up any time soon, so you left him at Calamity's.

“Hey Johnny and Miss Uccelli... and… who's this?” Nariko says hi from the couch, watching her dramas on TV.
“Hey Nariko, this is Yu Yan. She’s going to start living with us for a short amount of time.”
“…Hi.” Yu Yan looks depressed, but she's still looking around your apartment with subdued interest.
“She experienced something similar to you, Nariko.” Uccelli explains to Nariko.
“She lost her memories too?” Nariko goes straight to the point, straightening in her seat, attention on Yu Yan.
“Wait, I'm not the only one?” Yu Yan now seems a little scared.
“Yeah, long before I met Johnny…” Nariko nods and gives Yu Yan a genuine smile of understanding. The scared expression on Yu Yan’s face is gone.

Yu Yan went to the bathroom shortly after, and you and Nariko watched TV in the meantime.

“Hey, Uccelli was it?” Yu Yan asks Uccelli.
“Yes?”
“Do you know how to cut hair? Mine is a little too long for my liking. And what’s with the white streak? It's kinda weird.” Yu Yan shits on old Yu Yan’s fashion.
“I’m no stylist, but I can get the job done.” Uccelli stares at a bowl on the table… You have a bad feeling about this.

Well, it’s going to be slow, but Yu Yan will have to get used to the apartment now, right?

“I’ll be making a special dinner while you all decide what to do, just to make our new guest feel welcomed.” You tell the girls, Nariko seems excited.

“I’ll help. You must be tired after what happened today.” Uccelli seems to want to spend some quality time alone with you! The two of you leave to the kitchen, not before you overhear Yu Yan and Nariko’s conversation...

“Wait, what about my haircut?” Yu really wants her hair to be cut. “I guess it isn’t really important right now…”
“W-wanna watch TV together?” Nariko shyly asked.
“…I’m guessing I’m not allowed to leave by myself to cut by hair, so might as well kill time.” Yu Yan resigns to her fate and limps to the couch. Nariko leans in to hug Yu Yan, while Yu moves further and further away from her.
“W-what are you doing…?” Yu Yan seems surprised.
“I want to help you feel relax. I know what it feels like, it’s lonely not knowing who you are… But you don’t have to feel lonely, I’m here for you!” Nariko replies, trying her best to not break her smile. Sounds like something straight out of her soap operas.
“You’re weird, you know that?” Yu Yan looks uncomfortable.
“S-sorry…” Nariko backs off. Her smile disappearing along with her confidence.
“Wait, no, I- it’s not like don’t appreciate it but-” Yu Yan tries to fix the awkward mood.

“…Like water and oil.” You keep staring at this weird scene, makes you feel like things aren’t going to be as easy from now on.
“They’re going to be fine, don’t worry.” Nina calms you down. She's a teacher so she knows about this, right?
“I can’t help it, I always stress over my friends.” You tell her.
“Too much stress you will end up with these.” Nina shows you her eye bags. “I’ll be here, so relax; you already had an exhausting day.”

With the help of your girlfriend, you made fried chicken with curry on rice! While everyone is enjoying the meal, Yu Yan thought it was a good moment to start a conversation…

“Ehm… I…” Yu Yan stares at her plate.
“What? Are you a vegetarian?” Uccelli jokes.
“No… It’s just that… Does she really stay here all day watching TV?” Yu Yan worryingly asked. “Is that what I’m only allowed to do here?”
“Not really, Nariko just likes watching TV.” You explain.
“It’s very entertaining.” Nariko joyfully remarks.
“…But can I like leave the apartment or something? Like go to school or work or… anything?” Yu Yan asks.
“We’ll discuss that after your wounds have healed. Okay?” Uccelli interrupts.
“Meh… I guess I could always pick up a hobby or browse the internet all day like a neet.” Yu Yan seems conflicted.

After eating dinner, you explain to Yu Yan that she will have to share beds with Nariko, she was upset and threw a minor tantrum. But hey, that’s real life for you, girl!

Now the bored Yu Yan seems to be teaching Nariko how to act normally, whatever normal is to a person like Ri- you mean Yu Yan, something you and Amelia should have done before… Maybe Amelia did but definitely not you. After washing the dishes, you and your girlfriend have some free time to spend together.

What do you do with Nina?

“Should we watch a movie? I’m beat…” You ask your girlfriend as you touch your neck. Do you even know what type of movies Nina likes?
“Let’s see what they have on TV…” Nina takes the remote from the nearby table.

“Hey, hey, hey, I’m doing something here! Watch your dumb movie somewhere else! I don’t want this goofball to get distracted.” Yu Yan angrily yells while pointing her thumb at Nariko right next to her, she’s a little bit annoying.
“Goofball…?” Nariko seems mildly offended by her comment despite the deadpan.
“You need to watch your manners, young lady. That’s not the way to treat anyone, now ask nicely or we’re going to watch our movie here.” Uccelli draws the line!
“Y-yes ma’am.” Yu Yan for some reason respects your girlfriend. “I-I guess we can go somewhere else, right?” Yu Yan seems to have reconsidered while she tells Nariko. She didn’t get the point, but she's willing to move.
“Mhm…” Nariko agrees, and they both leave the living room to your father’s room.

“Now let’s see what we can catch…” Uccelli sits on the now unoccupied couch and starts surfing between the channels. You go get a soda from the fridge in the meantime.
“You know we have a streaming service, right? Let’s browse their library.” You tell her, taking a sip as you do so. Your dad was so used to cable he never really considered cancelling it when you told him about the wonders of technology. Your dad was quite the idiot, you feel.
“Uhm… Yeah, alright.” Uccelli isn’t that good with technology?

You decided to put on a horror movie! If things get scary enough, she'll be all over you! Now, let’s find something terrifying.

“A horror movie? That’s fine; did you know Osgood loves the genre?” Uccelli small talks as you set everything ready.
“No, I didn’t.” That’s not really a surprise, knowing how he is. But when did they talk about this without you there?
“Ask him about it, he'll be all over you…” Uccelli is reliving a bad memory. Guess she must have got Osgood hype without intending to.
And the movie begins! Slowly but surely your girlfriend and you were getting closer and closer as the movie went on, not particularly because you were scared – but because it felt like the right thing to do. You two slowly sink on the couch, closer to each other. The movie is basically background noise for the two of you, as your heads slowly started to get closer, both of your eyes met… the mood is the correct one and…!

“AAAAAaaah!” Someone yells behind you loudly enough to jumpscare both of you, it’s Nariko… and she’s with Yu Yan! Both are watching the movie from all the way in the back corner of the living room! It’s seems the scene was particularly scary, though Yu Yan isn’t impressed at all.
“…Hey, calm down, it’s just a movie.” Yu Yan taps Nariko on the shoulder.
“B-but…” Nariko tries to reply but can’t find the words.
"Look, I've seen worse than this shit. Trust me, this is nothing."

“Hey you two, what are you doing over there? And stop swearing!” Uccelli moves away from you after the mood was ruined.
“What? We're not allowed to watch movies?” Yu Yan says with disdain.
“It’s creepy if you girls don’t say anything.” You respond. Hey, Philonune didn't even let you know you were being watched! Was he watching the horror movie too intently to tell you?
“Bah… Can we sit on the couch too? It’s a pain watching it standing up.” Yu Yan brings Nariko by the arm to where you two are…

The ‘romantic’ scene was completely destroyed! This turned into a movie night all of the sudden, maybe taking care of everyone isn’t that great of an idea. After the movie ended, it was time for everyone to go to bed! Uccelli told you she was going to crash at Carmella’s place, so you don't worry!
After leaving her outside and having a passionate kiss, it was time for you to resume your student duties and go to bed.

It’s Tuesday! Your body feels heavy, but nothing you can’t endure. You briefly remember something from a dream you had overnight – you standing over Yu Yan as Rise while she's injured on the alley floor, and one of her eyes reflects you while the other reflects Philonune. Both of you were laughing. The vision disappears as quickly as it popped up in your mind, and you shrug it off to go start your morning.

During breakfast you explained the remainder of the things you need to Yu Yan, like about the food and stuff. She asked how you ended up with an apartment all to yourself, and you explained more or less your backstory without going into much detail. You begged Yu Yan to not do anything stupid, and that Nariko will be the man of the house, even though she’s an absentminded woman incapable of having any type of responsibility in her state.
You have a bad feeling in your gut, and it isn’t your breakfast… It’s just the feeling Yu Yan is going to do something stupid when you least expect her to. Anyway, you have time to decide on what to do after classes!

>Operation getting Rise back to Yu Yan begins! Time to get things rolling!

Having a break is important. It’s time to have a proper date with your girlfriend, you two have neglected each other way too much in your honeymoon-esque period. You send the all-important text message to Uccelli right now! She quickly responds back and it’s on. It’s time for love, gosh darn it!

And classes go by rather quickly. Someone really smart with crazy hair once said that time is relative – he’s probably dead and deservedly so, so what are you even thinking? Going back on topic, you need to get to where Nina is! And by getting there, you mean waiting for her to finish working and coming to you, teachers having to do extra work after classes should be illegal! Do note that you laughed at that fact a while before, and now you’re a complete hypocrite for complaining about it.

“Hey Johnny, do you have any plans now?” Scarlet comes closer to ask, snapping you out of your thoughts.
“Ehm… Yeah, I do.” You try to sound as gentle as possible.
“Oh… That sucks, maybe we could go somewhere another day.” She seems disappointed, but not broken. Good for her!
“I'll be looking forward to it.” That’s almost a lie, but not completely a lie. Part of you is still wondering just how much of an impact you made on her with that talk of yours.
“Me too!” She awkwardly laughs. “I need to go, I’ll see you tomorrow!”

Well that wasn’t awkward at all…

“Hey, Johnny, you busy right now?” It’s Terry, carrying a box full of art supplies, looks pretty heavy.
“Yeah… Sorry about that.” You apologize, trying to sound like you mean it.
“That’s all right, I’ll see if I can catch someone from my club. See ya.” Terry leaves, you wave him off.

You kind of feel a little bad about him, but nothing you can really do about it.

“Hey Johnny, I’ll send you a report later tonight, so keep an eye on your phone.” Matilda comes out of nowhere to report to you. You gave her lunch early today, since she’s depending on you to feed her.
“How did you get here?”
“The door.”
“I meant more like when did you…” Is Amelia’s airheadedness contagious now?!
“I did, just now. Are you okay? Are you suffering from brain damage? I can take you to the infirmary, free of charge.”
“No, I’m okay, thank you. Is that all you came to tell me?”
“No… I just wanted to tell you I want steak for tomorrow, that’s all.”
“Why not text me this?”
“I wanted to check something in this classroom, and you gave me a good reason to not look out of place.” She has her poker face on.
“What exactly?”
“Nothing important, just business.” It’s almost like she’s planning a robbery.
“Just be safe…” You sigh at her, Matilda is a bit reckless sometimes.
“Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine. Bye.” Her deed is done and she’s gone!

Matilda, what new weird situation have you got yourself into this time?

“Hey boss, you busy?” It’s Henry! Why the fuck is everyone coming to you today?!
“I will be; what’s up?”
“Oh, sorry, I thought doing a little team bonding would be a good idea.” Henry says as he hides the coupons he had in his hand. You still noticed them anyway.
“Maybe next time, okay?” Again, why is everyone asking you out today?
“We should do something as a team soon, I want to get to know you guys and the first real battle is coming soon. I can feel it in my bones, you know?”
“You can always text the group, don’t need to talk directly to me.”
“Yeah, my bad – you’re always in the middle of everything so I thought you're really the leader in everything but name. So… I guess I’ll eat by myself now, bye!” He waves at you, still cheerful, and walks off out of the room. You still have to admit, despite how new and reckless he is, it's good that he's this gung-ho about the team.

You receive a text message from Uccelli! She’s finally free to have some fun! But what activity will you two do?

Karaoke is one of the few things you haven’t done with her, but you’re a terrible singer! Well, it’s a test of courage if you’re going to be able to show off your non-existent musical skills, right? On the other hand, you supposedly sucked at pool – but in reality you’re a bloody god! So maybe having confidence is the way to go with these things. You wait for her outside at the gate! Finally Uccelli arrives with the good old combo of sunglasses and dumb hat. You're starting to get used to this now.

“I’m ready!” Uccelli cheerfully says.
“Let’s get moving so we can talk.” You tell to your hot teacher girlfriend.
At the station, you two can finally discuss what activity you want to do, and you propose Karaoke.
“Karaoke? I love Karaoke!” Uccelli seems delighted.
There's two kinds of people in the world who like Karaoke: those who are completely dreadful at it, or those who are superb – hopefully Nina is part of the latter. “I know one close to my apartment; I used to be a regular until my rent went up months ago.”
“Let’s have some fun!” You can’t wait! You have an extra t-shirt ready so Uccelli can relax about having a date with a student.

During the trip, you asked Uccelli about her drunk friend…
“Oh my god, Carmella, why did you do that…” She just gets embarrassed thinking about it. She’s all red in shame, hands over her face.
“It wasn’t that bad.” You try to ease her pain, even though it really was that bad, and you know it.
“I’m a terrible friend, I shouldn’t have left her in that state – I deserve the embarrassment.”
“Don’t say that…”
“B-but anyway, who does she think she is? I never did anything like that, and her boyfriend was actually a deadbeat loser. She was too good for that manwhore, seriously…!” Uccelli’s bitterness is showing. “Oh wow, I’m starting to sound like her now.”
“I told you its okay to vent. That’s what I'm here for.” You adjust your glasses, trying to look cool. Going by Uccelli's expression, you think it worked!
“No, not right now. We’re going to finally pass time together, I’m so excited!” Her whole demeanor changes! You want to get used to her smiling and not looking so tired all the time, so this is a good first step.

You finally get to the Karaoke Parlor! The Reachers of the Stars! You rent a room… You’re feeling stage fright, but Uccelli is going first, so you take the time to relax yourself mentally.

“Are you really okay with me starting?” Uccelli looks excited, more hype than you've ever seen her be.
“Yeah, break a leg…” Well, here she goes.

Uccelli picks a song you've never heard before… It’s kind of a catchy pop song, sounds rather old… And woah, Nina is amazing! What the hell?! You didn’t expect this at all! You’re starting to wonder why the fuck she's a teacher at all, with a voice like that! You applaud her proudly!

“Hehe… It wasn’t that good, right?”
“I really really liked it.” You nod furiously, channelling Amelia into your nodding! Uccelli can’t be any happier.
“Now it’s your turn! You know these songs, right? I know they added a lot of new ones since I was last here…”

It’s time for Johnny to show off! And by showing off, you mean totally ruining this pleasant date! Will you overcome the odds yet again, or shall you succumb to the mysterious and harsh world of singing?! We will find out next thread! Thanks for playing!
