Naru noticed something odd happened each time the clock ticked to 4.04 pm. And yet this time they're not alone. Mai must have had something from the school that connected her to that weird place. Naru was ravaging Mai's belonging to find something. He noticed the school uniform seem different from other school. He got back into his room and worn it again, and realized something, the button wasn't really a button but a charm.
"Did Mai worn her uniform when she's missing?" Naru asked.
"No, she didn't, but she did worn the skirt," Ayako replied.
Naru was searching for Mai's uniform amongst her belonging and found it. He showed it to Lin. And Lin's face was distorted in disgust as he knew the spell. Not, one that he's familiar with but he knew enough what it was.
"So what's the plan?" Takigawa asked.
"Wait for tomorrow at the same time where the wall was on the weakest," Naru sighed, "Or maybe we could try to illuminated some fake sun light to make it looks like it was 4.04 pm."
"You're not planning to go in with Mai, are you?" Yasuhara eyes glinted.
"No, I'm planning to bring Mai's back with the other," Naru sighed, he doesn't like to explain his action. "Although, I'm sure Mai can do it alone but knowing Mai, she would never leave the other."

Mai was trying to hide from it. But it's useless. And she saw something behind him. It's like the window was reflecting something. Mai was busy taking a hint of where the weakest wall was. And how did they end up here. And she remember something. Lin said 4.04 pm, they had encountered two mirror walls before but not 4.04 pm that's why they're harmless. Mai tried to tell them. But it's useless. every message she wrote on the wall would be erased by those spirit.
Mai sighed, it wasn't the first time it happened to her, but the last time on the blood labyrinth, it wasn't her. And this time she wasn't alone but she still got trapped here. She doesn't know how much time has passed for some of the girls. And who'll come out alive if they left this place. And she doesn't know how much time has passed for her too.
"Think Mai, did you carry anything suspicious," Mai was thinking out loud. She found a safe place beside Reiko's mirror wall. Both of them tried to break it. but it's useless. Reiko's been succumbed, her will to leave was weaker than two days ago. But she still banging on the mirror.
"Help me," she begged as her body was being ravaged. "Help me." she cried.
"I'm trying," Mai whispered with tears streaming down her face. She's worried when will her time come. She's wondering whether she could save other. Will she lost her virginity like this? Will she gave up like Sana or Sayaka?
Suddenly, the mirror shined, and there's a reflection of Naru with Lin behind him. She felt momentary relief as she saw them.
"I'll help you, just hang on," Naru mouthed.
Mai nodded. "I'm trying from this side too," she said, realizing it wasn't Gene. Somehow she felt relief.
Suddenly. she felt the urge to touch him. And so she touched the mirror as he did too. And a flash of light came from his side to her.
"No, Naru, what are you doing?!" Mai asked as she saw him beside her.
"It's better for two of us than only you," Naru said, he noticed that she's been crying as her eyes were swollen and he sighed. "I'm here Mai, not Gene."
"I know it's you, you narcissistic boss," Mai hugged him out of relief.
He averted his gaze and focused his eyes on Mai as she realized he's bothered by the sight of all the girls. Mai noticed his face got redden as he saw those girls.
"Now what are you planning to do?"
