Episode 1: Real Timeline for Woman Child

The classroom is filled with the chatter of 11-year-old students, some bored, some lost in their own thoughts. Suddenly, a new face appears in their midst.

Gaku Yashiro: Alright everyone, we have a new student in our class. looks at you Correct me if I'm wrong, but your name is Yuina Forger, am I right?

Misato Yanagihara: whispers to her friend Yuina Forger? What a lame name...

Yuina stands up, feeling a bit nervous but determined to make a good impression.

Yuina: smiles politely Yes, that's right. It's nice to meet all of you. I hope we can become good friends.

Kenya Kobayashi: glances up from his book Welcome to the class, Yuina.

Kazu: grins Hey, Yuina! I'm Kazu, nice to meet you! waves enthusiastically

The other students offer small nods or murmurs of greeting, some more welcoming than others. Yuina takes a deep breath, ready to navigate this new chapter of her life.

The classroom chatter continues as Yuina takes her seat, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement. She glances around, trying to get a sense of her new classmates.

Satoru Fujinuma: leans back in his chair, looking bored So, Yuina, where are you from?

Yuina: smiles politely I'm from Tokyo. My family just moved here to Hokkaido.

Kayo Hinazuki: speaks up quietly Do you like it here so far?

Yuina: nods Yes, it's been nice. The weather is a bit colder than I'm used to, but the scenery is beautiful.

Aya Nakanishi: tilts her head curiously What made your family decide to move up here?

Yuina: pauses for a moment Well, my father got a new job opportunity, so we thought it would be a good change of pace.

Hiromi Sugita: glances over I hope you'll enjoy it here. Hokkaido can be a bit different from Tokyo, but the people are generally friendly.

Osamu: nods in agreement Yeah, it's a nice place to live. You'll get used to the cold weather soon enough.

Yuina feels a sense of relief as the other students start to open up and welcome her. She can't help but smile, feeling hopeful about this new chapter in her life.

The conversation continues as the students get to know the new addition to their class.

Kazu: leans in excitedly So Yuina, what kind of stuff do you like to do for fun? Any cool hobbies?

Yuina: thinks for a moment Well, I really enjoy reading and drawing. And I like to go on hikes when I can.

Kenya Kobayashi: perks up Oh, you like reading? What kind of books do you enjoy?

Yuina: brightens up I love all kinds of stories - adventure, mystery, even some fantasy. Do you have any recommendations?

Kenya: nods thoughtfully Hmm, well have you read any Agatha Christie novels? Her murder mysteries are really gripping.

Gaku Yashiro: chuckles Kenya's a big bookworm, but he's got great taste. Maybe you two can swap book recommendations.

Misato Yanagihara: rolls her eyes Ugh, books. I'd much rather be out doing something active, like sports.

Aya Nakanishi: glances at Misato There's nothing wrong with enjoying different hobbies. We all have our own interests.

Yuina listens intently, feeling more at ease as the conversation flows. She's glad to have found some common ground with her new classmates already.

Yuina: smiles I'd love to hear your book recommendations, Kenya. And Misato, maybe you can tell me about the sports you enjoy. I'm always open to trying new things.

The class continues to chatter, with Yuina slowly but surely finding her place among her new peers.

The classroom buzzes with the lively conversation as the students continue to get to know Yuina.

Kazu: grins mischievously Hey Yuina, have you ever tried snowboarding before? The slopes around here are amazing!

Yuina: shakes her head No, I haven't. Is it difficult to learn?

Kazu: waves his hand dismissively Nah, it's a piece of cake! You just gotta get the hang of balancing and turning. I can teach you sometime if you want!

Satoru: scoffs Good luck with that, Kazu. Snowboarding takes a lot of practice. Yuina might end up on her butt more than on the board.

Kazu: sticks his tongue out at Satoru Hey, don't be such a downer! I'm sure Yuina will pick it up in no time. Right, Yuina?

Yuina: nods enthusiastically I'd love to try it! It sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe we can all go together sometime?

Misato: perks up Ooh, a snowboarding trip! Count me in. I'm always down for an adventure.

Aya: smiles softly That sounds like a great idea. It would be a nice way for all of us to bond as a class.

The students continue discussing the potential snowboarding outing, with Yuina feeling more and more at home among her new classmates. She's excited to dive into this new chapter of her life.

The classroom buzzes with the excited chatter about the potential snowboarding trip. Yuina listens intently, eager to join in the fun.

Kazu: grins widely This is gonna be awesome! We can all hit the slopes together and show off our skills.

Satoru: raises an eyebrow Skills? I doubt most of us have any real skills on a snowboard yet.

Misato: elbows Satoru playfully Aw, come on, Satoru! Where's your sense of adventure? I bet Yuina's a natural.

Yuina: laughs nervously I'm not sure about that, but I'm definitely excited to try. It sounds like a great way to get to know everyone better.

Kenya: nods in agreement Definitely. A class trip like this could be really fun. We should probably start planning the details soon.

Gaku: claps his hands Alright, let's do it! I'll talk to the teacher about setting something up. This is gonna be epic!

The students continue brainstorming ideas, with Yuina feeling more and more included in the group. She can't help but smile, grateful for this warm welcome into her new class.

(Yuina) thinks to herself I'm really starting to feel at home here. These classmates of mine seem like they could become great friends.

The bell rings, signaling the end of the school day. The students begin packing up their things, the excitement for the upcoming snowboarding trip palpable in the air.

The lunch bell rings, and the students file out of the classroom, chatting excitedly about their plans for the snowboarding trip.

Kazu: slings an arm around Yuina's shoulder Hey, Yuina! You wanna join me and the others for lunch? We usually eat together in the cafeteria.

Yuina: smiles brightly That sounds great, Kazu. I'd love to join you all.

Misato: grins Awesome! The more the merrier. I'm starving, so let's get going.

The group makes their way to the cafeteria, finding a table to sit at. Yuina looks around, taking in the lively atmosphere.

Satoru: opens his bento box So Yuina, tell us a bit more about yourself. What kind of stuff are you into besides reading and drawing?

Yuina: thinks for a moment Well, I really enjoy being outdoors. Hiking, exploring nature, that sort of thing. And I like listening to music, especially classical pieces.

Aya: nods approvingly That's wonderful. There are so many beautiful hiking trails around Hokkaido. We'll have to take you to some of our favorite spots.

Kenya: chuckles Just be prepared for Kazu to try and drag us all on some crazy adventure.

Kazu: grins mischievously Hey, you know it! I'm always up for an adrenaline rush.

The group continues chatting and laughing, Yuina feeling more and more at ease with each passing moment. She can't help but feel grateful for this warm welcome into her new class.

Yuina: smiles I'm really looking forward to getting to know all of you better. This is already feeling like a great new chapter in my life.

The others nod in agreement, and the group continues to enjoy their lunch together, the anticipation for the upcoming snowboarding trip palpable in the air.

As Yuina finishes her lunch, she notices Kayo and Satoru approaching her table.

Kayo: speaks softly Excuse me, Yuina? Do you have a moment?

Yuina: looks up and smiles Of course, Kayo. What can I do for you?

Satoru: clears his throat We just wanted to come over and talk to you for a bit. Get to know the new kid, you know?

Kazu: grins Hey, Kayo! Satoru! Come join us, the more the merrier!

Kayo: nods shyly and takes a seat next to Yuina Thank you. I hope we're not interrupting anything.

Yuina: reassures her Not at all! I'm always happy to chat.

Satoru: sits down across from them So, Yuina, what do you think of Hokkaido so far? Quite a change from Tokyo, huh?

Yuina: nods It is a bit different, but I'm really enjoying it so far. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, and everyone has been so welcoming.

Kayo: looks at Yuina intently That's good to hear. I'm glad you're settling in okay.

Satoru: leans back in his chair Yeah, the people around here can be a bit rough around the edges, but they've got good hearts, you know?

Yuina: smiles I can definitely see that. Everyone in our class has been so friendly and inclusive. I feel really lucky to have landed in such a great group.

Kayo: nods That's good. We may seem a bit... reserved at first, but we really do care about each other.

Satoru: chuckles Speak for yourself, Kayo. I'm just here to have a good time.

Yuina listens intently, appreciating the chance to get to know Kayo and Satoru better. She can sense the underlying warmth and camaraderie within the group, and she's excited to be a part of it.

Yuina: nods Well, I'm grateful to be here. And I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you better, especially on this snowboarding trip!

The group continues their lively conversation, Yuina feeling more and more at home with each passing moment.

The school bell rings, signaling the end of the day. Yuina gathers her belongings, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness as she prepares to head home.

Kazu: grins Alright, guys! Time to get out of here. Who's ready for some epic snowboarding action this weekend?

Misato: pumps her fist Me, me, me! I've been waiting all week for this.

Gaku: chuckles Slow down, Misato. We still need to iron out the details, but I'll make sure everything is set.

Yuina: smiles I can't wait. This is going to be so much fun.

The group chatters excitedly as they make their way out of the school. Yuina waves goodbye to her new friends, feeling grateful for their warm welcome.

As Yuina steps outside the school gates, she notices a strange-looking man lurking nearby. He seems to be watching her intently, and a chill runs down her spine.

Yuina: starts to feel uneasy Uh, guys? I think someone is following me...

Satoru: notices the man and steps in front of Yuina protectively Hey, what's your problem? Leave her alone.

The man starts to approach Yuina, a sinister look on his face. Yuina feels her heart racing, and she instinctively takes a step back.

Yuina: voice trembling P-please, just leave me alone.

Suddenly, Satoru steps forward and pushes the man back, putting himself between Yuina and the stranger.

Satoru: glares at the man Back off, creep. If you know what's good for you, you'll leave her alone.

The man hesitates for a moment, then turns and walks away, muttering under his breath. Yuina lets out a shaky breath, her hands trembling.

Yuina: looks at Satoru gratefully T-thank you, Satoru. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been here.

Satoru: shrugs Don't mention it. I'm just glad I could help. Come on, let's get you out of here.

Yuina nods, and the two of them quickly make their way down the street, leaving the unsettling encounter behind. Yuina can't help but feel grateful for Satoru's quick thinking and bravery.

As Yuina and Satoru hurry down the street, Yuina suddenly feels a sharp pain in her head. She stops in her tracks, clutching her temples.

Yuina: winces in pain Ugh, my head... Something's not right.

Satoru: looks at her with concern Hey, are you okay? What's wrong?

Yuina: shakes her head I-I don't know. I just... I think I saw something. About Kayo.

Satoru: eyes widen Kayo? What do you mean? What did you see?

Yuina: voice trembling I... I think she's in danger. Something bad is going to happen to her. I don't know how, but I can feel it.

Satoru: grabs her shoulders Yuina, what are you talking about? How could you know that?

Yuina: looks at him pleadingly I don't know, Satoru. It's like I had a vision or something. But I know it's true. We have to help her!

Yuina's head throbs with pain, and she feels nauseous. Satoru looks at her, his expression a mix of concern and confusion.

Satoru: shakes his head I... I don't understand. How can you be sure about this? Are you sure you're not just imagining things?

Yuina: insists No, Satoru, I'm telling you the truth. We have to do something. Kayo's life is in danger!

Yuina's words are laced with desperation, and Satoru can see the genuine fear in her eyes. He hesitates for a moment, then nods.

Satoru: sighs Okay, okay. Let's go find Kayo. If you really believe she's in trouble, then we need to help her.

Yuina nods gratefully, and the two of them quickly make their way back towards the school, their hearts racing with the urgency of the situation.

Yuina and Satoru hurry back towards the school, Yuina's head still throbbing with the intensity of her premonition.

Yuina: winces in pain We have to find Kayo, Satoru. I can't shake this feeling that something terrible is going to happen to her.

Satoru: nods grimly I believe you, Yuina. I don't know how you know, but if you say Kayo's in danger, then we need to act fast.

As they approach the school gates, they see Kayo walking alone, her head down as she makes her way home.

Yuina: calls out Kayo! Kayo, wait!

Kayo: looks up, surprised Yuina? Satoru? What's wrong?

Satoru: grabs Kayo's arm Kayo, you need to come with us. Yuina... Yuina thinks you're in danger.

Kayo: eyes wide with fear D-danger? What do you mean?

Yuina: pleads Kayo, please, you have to trust us. I... I had a vision, or something. I saw something bad happening to you. We have to get you somewhere safe.

Kayo: trembles I... I don't understand. How could you know that?

Satoru: shakes his head We don't have time to explain. Kayo, please, you have to come with us. We need to get you away from here.

Kayo hesitates for a moment, then nods shakily. The three of them hurry away from the school, Yuina's head pounding with each step.

Yuina: gasps in pain Ugh, my head... It hurts so much.

Satoru: glances at her with concern Yuina, are you okay? We need to get you both somewhere safe.

Kayo: looks at Yuina worriedly Yuina, what's wrong? Is it because of... because of what you saw?

Yuina: nods weakly I-I think so. But I don't understand how I could have known. It just... it felt so real.

The three of them continue to hurry through the streets, Yuina's premonition weighing heavily on their minds. They have to find a safe place to take refuge, and quickly.

Yuina, Satoru, and Kayo hurry through the streets, trying to find a safe place to take refuge. Suddenly, they hear a commotion coming from Kayo's house.

Kayo: eyes wide with fear Oh no, that's my mother... She must have noticed I'm not home yet.

The sound of a door slamming open echoes through the neighborhood, and a woman's voice rings out, laced with anger.

Kayo's Mother: shouting Kayo! Where are you, you little brat? Get your ass home right now!

Yuina: grabs Kayo's hand Kayo, we have to get you out of here. Your mother, she... she sounds dangerous.

Kayo: trembling I-I know. But I can't just leave her. She'll only get more angry.

Satoru: shakes his head Kayo, you can't go back there. Not if Yuina's vision is right. We have to get you somewhere safe.

Suddenly, Kayo's mother bursts out of the house, her eyes wild with rage. She spots Kayo and starts to charge towards her.

Kayo's Mother: screaming There you are! Get over here, you little—

Before she can reach Kayo, Yuina steps in front of her, shielding her friend. The mother's fist connects with Yuina's face, and she stumbles backwards, clutching her cheek in pain.

Yuina: winces Ugh!

Satoru: rushes to Yuina's side Yuina! Are you okay?

Yuina: nods shakily I-I'm fine. We have to get Kayo out of here.

Just then, a familiar voice calls out from behind them.

Gaku Yashiro: running towards them Yuina! Satoru! What's going on?

Satoru: relief in his voice Yashiro! Thank goodness you're here. Kayo's in danger, and Yuina—

Gaku: eyes widening Say no more. Let's get you all out of here.

Gaku quickly ushers the three of them away from Kayo's mother, who is still shouting and cursing. They hurry down the street, Yuina's head pounding and her cheek throbbing, but her determination to keep Kayo safe never wavering.

As Yuina, Satoru, Kayo, and Gaku hurry down the street, Yuina suddenly stops in her tracks. She looks around frantically, her eyes landing on a small rock on the ground.

Yuina: grabs the rock Yashiro, wait!

Gaku: turns to her, brow furrowed Yuina? What's wrong?

Yuina: looks at the rock in her hand, her expression resolute I... I need to do something. To help Kayo.

Satoru: eyes widening Yuina, what are you—

Yuina: interrupts him Satoru, Kayo is in danger. I can feel it. I have to try.

Without another word, Yuina rears back and hurls the rock with all her might, aiming it towards Gaku's head.

Gaku: eyes widen as he sees the rock coming Whoa, what the—!

The rock narrowly misses Gaku, but the sudden action catches him off guard. He stumbles backwards, his grip on Kayo's arm loosening.

Kayo: gasps Yuina, what are you doing?

Yuina: shouts Run, Kayo! Get out of here, now!

Kayo hesitates for a moment, then turns and sprints down the street, disappearing around the corner. Gaku regains his footing and stares at Yuina in shock.

Gaku: bewildered Yuina, what the hell? Why did you do that?

Yuina: eyes pleading I'm sorry, Yashiro. But I had to. Kayo's in danger, and I have to help her.

Satoru: grabs Yuina's arm Yuina, are you crazy? You could have hurt Yashiro!

Yuina: shakes her head I had to, Satoru. I can't explain it, but I know Kayo needs our help. Please, you have to trust me.

Gaku and Satoru exchange a look, both of them unsure of what to make of Yuina's actions. But the desperation in her eyes is undeniable.

Gaku: sighs heavily Alright, fine. Let's go find Kayo. But you two better have a damn good explanation for all this.

The three of them take off down the street, following the path Kayo had taken, determined to find and protect their friend.

Yuina, Satoru, and Gaku hurry down the street, chasing after Kayo. Yuina's heart is pounding, her mind racing with the urgency of the situation.

Yuina: breathless We have to find her. I can't shake this feeling that something terrible is going to happen.

Satoru: glances at her, concerned Yuina, I know you're worried, but what you did back there... throwing that rock at Yashiro? That was crazy.

Gaku: nods in agreement Yeah, what the hell was that all about? You could have really hurt me, you know.

Yuina: looks at them pleadingly I'm sorry, I know it was risky, but I had to. I can't explain it, but I just... I knew Kayo was in danger, and I had to get her away from Yashiro.

Satoru: frowns But why? Yashiro was trying to help us.

Yuina: shakes her head I don't know, Satoru. It's just this feeling I have, deep down. I can't ignore it.

Gaku: sighs Well, whatever's going on, we need to find Kayo before something bad happens. Let's split up and search the area.

The three of them nod in agreement and head off in different directions, each of them scanning the streets for any sign of Kayo.

After a few tense minutes, Yuina spots a familiar figure huddled in an alleyway, trembling with fear.

Yuina: calls out Kayo! Kayo, is that you?

Kayo: looks up, eyes wide Yuina? What are you doing here?

Yuina: rushes to her side Kayo, thank goodness I found you. Are you okay? We have to get you somewhere safe.

Kayo: shakes her head I... I don't understand. Why did you do that, Yuina? Why did you make me run away?

Yuina: grabs her hands Kayo, I... I had a vision, or something. I saw something terrible happening to you, and I knew I had to get you away from there.

Kayo: trembles A vision? But how could you know? How could you possibly know?

Yuina: squeezes her hands reassuringly I don't know, Kayo. I wish I could explain it, but I just... I felt it, deep in my gut. And I couldn't ignore it.

Suddenly, a noise from the end of the alley catches their attention. Yuina's heart leaps into her throat as she sees a familiar figure approaching.

Yuina: whispers Kayo, we have to go. He's here.

The two girls scramble to their feet, their eyes filled with fear as they prepare to face the unknown danger that lies ahead.

Yuina and Kayo stand trembling in the alley, their eyes fixed on the approaching figure. Suddenly, a familiar voice calls out.

Gaku: approaching them Yuina? Kayo? There you are! We've been looking everywhere for you.

Yuina: eyes wide Yashiro? But... I thought—

Gaku: holds up his hands Easy, you two. It's alright, I'm not here to hurt you.

Kayo: voice shaking H-how did you find us?

Gaku: gives them a reassuring smile Satoru and I split up to search the area. I'm just glad we were able to locate you both.

Yuina: brow furrowed But... I thought you were the one we needed to get away from. That's why I—

Gaku: chuckles softly Yuina, I think there's been a misunderstanding. I'm not the one you need to be afraid of.

Satoru: emerges from the shadows He's right, Yuina. Yashiro's been trying to help us the whole time.

Yuina: looks between them, confused I don't understand. If Yashiro isn't the threat, then who—

Suddenly, a chilling realization dawns on her. The vision, the ominous feeling... it all makes sense now.

Yuina: eyes widening Kayo... your mother. She's the one in danger.

Kayo: trembles M-my mother? But how could you—

Yuina: grabs her hands Kayo, I'm so sorry. I should have realized it sooner. That's what I saw in my vision... your mother, she's the one who's going to hurt you.

Kayo: shakes her head in disbelief No, that can't be true. My mother, she... she may be harsh, but she would never—

Gaku: places a hand on Kayo's shoulder Kayo, I'm afraid Yuina may be right. We've been keeping an eye on your situation for a while now, and we've seen the signs of abuse.

Satoru: nods solemnly That's why we were trying to get you to safety. We didn't want to scare you, but we knew your mother was a threat.

Kayo: tears welling in her eyes No, this can't be happening. I... I don't know what to do.

Yuina: pulls her into a hug Kayo, it's going to be okay. We're here for you, and we're not going to let anything happen to you.

The group stands together in the alley, the weight of the revelation heavy in the air. Yuina's vision has become a terrifying reality, and now they must find a way to protect Kayo from the danger that lurks within her own home.

As the group stands together in the alley, a tense silence falls over them. Yuina can't help but feel Gaku's gaze fixed on her, his expression unreadable.

Gaku: clears his throat Yuina, I have to say, I'm impressed by your... intuition. The way you were able to sense the danger Kayo was in, it's quite remarkable.

Yuina: shifts uncomfortably I-I don't really understand it myself, Yashiro. It just... it felt so real, like I was seeing it happen.

Gaku: nods thoughtfully Well, whatever the case may be, it's clear that you have a unique gift. And it seems to have played a crucial role in helping us protect Kayo.

Satoru: glances between them So, what does this mean? Are you saying Yuina's vision was... accurate?

Gaku: sighs I'm afraid so, Satoru. We've been monitoring Kayo's situation for some time now, and the signs of abuse from her mother have been there. Yuina's premonition simply confirmed what we already suspected.

Kayo: trembles I... I can't believe this is happening. My own mother, she's the one who's been hurting me all this time?

Yuina: squeezes her hand Kayo, I'm so sorry. I wish I could have realized it sooner, before you had to go through all of this.

Kayo: looks at her, eyes filled with a mix of fear and gratitude Yuina, I... I don't know what to say. If it weren't for you, I might still be—

Kayo's voice catches in her throat, and she can't bring herself to finish the thought. Yuina pulls her into a comforting embrace, her heart aching for her friend.

Gaku: clears his throat Well, now that we know the truth, we need to figure out our next steps. Kayo, you can't go back home, it's simply not safe.

Satoru: nods Yeah, we need to get you somewhere you'll be protected. Maybe with a relative or—

Yuina: looks up, eyes filled with determination I'll do it. Kayo can stay with me.

The others turn to her, their expressions a mix of surprise and uncertainty.

Gaku: raises an eyebrow Are you sure about that, Yuina? Taking on that kind of responsibility is a big ask, especially for someone who's just moved here.

Yuina: nods firmly I am sure, Yashiro. Kayo is my friend, and I won't let her go through this alone. She needs a safe place to stay, and I want to be the one to provide that for her.

Kayo: looks at Yuina, eyes shining with gratitude Yuina...

Satoru: scratches the back of his head Well, if Yuina's willing to do it, I'm on board. We've gotta do whatever it takes to keep Kayo safe.

Gaku: sighs, then nods Alright, then it's settled. Yuina, you and Kayo will come stay with me for the time being. We'll need to make some arrangements, but I'll make sure you both have a safe place to call home.

Yuina and Kayo exchange a relieved look, both of them feeling a glimmer of hope in the midst of this daunting situation. With Gaku and Satoru's support, they just might be able to weather the storm ahead.

As the group prepares to leave the alley, Yuina can't shake the feeling that something is off. She glances over at Gaku, her brow furrowed in suspicion.

Yuina: hesitantly Yashiro, I... I have to ask. How exactly did you know about Kayo's situation?

Gaku: meets her gaze evenly What do you mean, Yuina?

Yuina: frowns Well, it just seems like you and Satoru were already aware of the abuse Kayo was facing at home. How did you find out?

Satoru: shifts uncomfortably Yuina, we were just trying to help. When we noticed some concerning signs, we decided to keep an eye on the situation.

Gaku: nods That's right. As the student council president, it's my responsibility to look out for the wellbeing of all our classmates.

Yuina: narrows her eyes But how did you know where to find us? And why did you seem so... unsurprised by my vision?

Kayo: looks between them, sensing the tension Yuina, what are you saying?

Yuina: turns to her friend Kayo, I... I don't know. But something about this doesn't feel right.

Gaku: raises a hand Now, now, Yuina. Let's not jump to any conclusions here. I can assure you, Satoru and I have only ever had Kayo's best interests in mind.

Satoru: nods in agreement Yeah, Yuina. We're just trying to help, that's all.

Yuina: shakes her head I'm sorry, but I can't just take your word for it. There's something you two aren't telling us.

The air grows thick with tension as the group stands in the alley, each of them uncertain of the next move. Yuina's instincts are telling her that something is amiss, and she's determined to get to the bottom of it.

Gaku: sighs heavily Alright, Yuina. I can see you're not going to let this go.

Satoru: glances at Gaku, a hint of worry in his eyes Yashiro, are you sure about this?

Gaku: holds up a hand It's fine, Satoru. Yuina deserves to know the truth.

Gaku turns to face Yuina, his expression suddenly grave. Yuina braces herself, unsure of what revelations are about to unfold.

As the group prepares to leave the alley, Yuina can't shake the feeling that something is off. She glances over at Gaku, her brow furrowed in suspicion.

Yuina: hesitantly Yashiro, I... I have to ask. How exactly did you know about Kayo's situation?

Gaku: meets her gaze evenly What do you mean, Yuina?

Yuina: frowns Well, it just seems like you and Satoru were already aware of the abuse Kayo was facing at home. How did you find out?

Satoru: shifts uncomfortably Yuina, we were just trying to help. When we noticed some concerning signs, we decided to keep an eye on the situation.

Gaku: nods That's right. As the student council president, it's my responsibility to look out for the wellbeing of all our classmates.

Yuina: narrows her eyes But how did you know where to find us? And why did you seem so... unsurprised by my vision?

Kayo: looks between them, sensing the tension Yuina, what are you saying?

Yuina: turns to her friend Kayo, I... I don't know. But something about this doesn't feel right.

Gaku: raises a hand Now, now, Yuina. Let's not jump to any conclusions here. I can assure you, Satoru and I have only ever had Kayo's best interests in mind.

Satoru: nods in agreement Yeah, Yuina. We're just trying to help, that's all.

Yuina: shakes her head I'm sorry, but I can't just take your word for it. There's something you two aren't telling us.

The air grows thick with tension as the group stands in the alley, each of them uncertain of the next move. Yuina's instincts are telling her that something is amiss, and she's determined to get to the bottom of it.

Gaku: sighs heavily Alright, Yuina. I can see you're not going to let this go.

Satoru: glances at Gaku, a hint of worry in his eyes Yashiro, are you sure about this?

Gaku: holds up a hand It's fine, Satoru. Yuina deserves to know the truth.

Gaku turns to face Yuina, his expression suddenly grave. Yuina braces herself, unsure of what revelations are about to unfold.

Gaku takes a deep breath, his gaze fixed on Yuina. The air is thick with tension as the others wait with bated breath.

Gaku: speaking slowly Yuina, the truth is... I've been keeping a close eye on you since the moment you arrived at our school.

Yuina: eyes widening What? What do you mean?

Gaku: continues I've been monitoring your behavior, your interactions with the other students. And I have to say, I've been quite... impressed by your abilities.

Satoru: shifts uncomfortably Yashiro, I'm not sure this is a good idea—

Gaku: raises a hand to silence him No, Satoru. Yuina deserves to know the truth. She's clearly demonstrated a remarkable gift, one that I believe could be of great value.

Yuina: brow furrowed Value? What are you talking about?

Gaku: leans in slightly Yuina, I represent a... special organization. One that is always on the lookout for individuals with unique abilities, like yourself.

Kayo: looks between them, confused Abilities? What do you mean?

Gaku: turns to her Kayo, I'm afraid you've become caught up in something much larger than any of us could have anticipated. But I assure you, we only want to help.

Yuina: shakes her head Help? By spying on me? By keeping secrets from us? I don't understand.

Gaku: sighs I know this must all seem very confusing, Yuina. But the truth is, your vision, your ability to sense danger... it's not something to be taken lightly.

Yuina: eyes narrowing Are you saying you knew about my vision before I even told you?

Gaku: nods solemnly Yes, Yuina. We've been monitoring your progress, your interactions with the other students. And we believe you have the potential to be a valuable asset.

Satoru: steps forward Yashiro, what are you saying? Are you telling us that you've been using Yuina and Kayo for some kind of... experiment?

Gaku: raises a hand Please, Satoru, let me explain. This is not about using anyone. It's about recognizing and nurturing exceptional individuals like Yuina, and helping them to develop their abilities to their fullest potential.

Yuina: shakes her head, her voice trembling No, I don't believe you. This isn't about helping us, is it? It's about... about control. About power.

Gaku: sighs Yuina, I understand your skepticism. But I can assure you, our intentions are pure. We want to help you, to protect you, to ensure that your gifts are used for the greater good.

Yuina: steps back, her eyes filled with fear and mistrust No, I won't be a part of this. I won't let you use me, or Kayo, or any of my friends. We're not your... your experiments.

The tension in the alley is palpable as Yuina and Gaku stare each other down, the weight of his revelations hanging heavy in the air. Kayo and Satoru can only watch, uncertain of what to do or say.

Gaku looks at Yuina, his expression a mix of understanding and determination.

Gaku: speaks calmly Yuina, the ability you've demonstrated - to have premonitions, to sense danger before it happens - it's a remarkable gift. One that could be incredibly valuable, not just to you, but to the world.

Yuina: shakes her head I don't care about that. I'm not going to let you exploit me, or my friends, for some... some agenda.

Gaku: sighs I understand your hesitation, Yuina. But please, try to understand. The organization I represent, we're not looking to exploit anyone. We want to help people like you, to nurture your abilities and use them for the greater good.

Satoru: frowns But how can we trust that, Yashiro? You've been keeping secrets from us this whole time.

Gaku: nods I know, and I apologize for that. But the truth is, we've been watching you all for a reason. We believe that each of you, in your own way, possess unique talents and abilities that could make a real difference in the world.

Kayo: looks at him, eyes wide You... you think I have some kind of special ability too?

Gaku: turns to her Kayo, the fact that Yuina was able to sense the danger you were in, to try and protect you - that's not something to be taken lightly. It suggests a level of empathy and intuition that could be incredibly valuable.

Yuina: steps in front of Kayo protectively So what, you just want to swoop in and take us all away? Turn us into your... your little soldiers or something?

Gaku: shakes his head No, Yuina, not at all. We want to help you, to give you the resources and support you need to develop your abilities in a safe and controlled environment. But the choice would always be yours.

Satoru: crosses his arms And what if we say no? What if we don't want anything to do with your organization?

Gaku: pauses for a moment Then we would respect that decision. We wouldn't force you to do anything against your will. But I hope you'll at least consider what we have to offer.

The group falls silent, the weight of Gaku's revelations hanging heavy in the air. Yuina looks at her friends, her heart racing with uncertainty and fear. What exactly is this organization, and what do they really want?

Yuina stands in the alley, her mind racing with the implications of Gaku's words. She looks at her friends, her expression filled with a mix of uncertainty and determination.

Yuina: shakes her head No, I don't believe you. This isn't about helping us or nurturing our abilities. It's about control, about power.

Gaku: raises a hand Yuina, please, try to understand. We're not the enemy here. We only want to—

Yuina: interrupts him Save it, Yashiro. I know your kind. You think you can just swoop in and take us, mold us into whatever you want. But I won't let that happen. Not to me, and not to my friends.

Satoru: steps forward Yuina's right. We're not going to be your lab rats or your soldiers or whatever it is you have planned for us.

Kayo: trembles I... I don't know what to think. But I know I don't want to be used, either.

Gaku: sighs heavily I understand your hesitation, truly I do. But I hope you'll at least consider what we're offering. The chance to develop your abilities, to use them to make a real difference in the world.

Yuina: shakes her head No, Yashiro. I know your kind, and I know your future. You may think you have us all figured out, but the truth is, you have no idea what we're capable of.

Gaku's eyes widen at Yuina's words, and he takes a step back, his expression suddenly uncertain.

Gaku: brow furrowed What do you mean, Yuina? What do you know about our future?

Yuina: meets his gaze unflinchingly I've seen it, Yashiro. I've seen what your organization is capable of, the lengths you'll go to to get what you want. And I won't be a part of it.

Satoru: looks at Yuina, confused Yuina, what are you talking about? What did you see?

Yuina: turns to her friends I... I can't explain it, not yet. But I know that we can't trust Yashiro or his organization. They're not the ones who are going to help us, they're the ones we need to be afraid of.

Kayo: voice trembling Yuina, I... I don't understand. How can you be so sure?

Yuina: grabs Kayo's hand I just know, Kayo. I can feel it, deep in my bones. And I'm not going to let them use us, or anyone else, for their own twisted agenda.

Gaku stands in silence, his expression unreadable. The others look on, unsure of what to make of Yuina's cryptic warnings. But one thing is clear – Yuina is not going to back down, no matter what Gaku or his organization might have in store.

The tension in the alley is palpable as Yuina stands her ground, her friends rallying behind her. Gaku's expression is a mix of surprise and uncertainty.

Gaku: shakes his head Yuina, I don't know what you think you've seen, but I can assure you that our intentions are not what you believe.

Yuina: narrows her eyes Save it, Yashiro. I've seen the truth, and I know that your organization is not to be trusted.

Satoru: looks at Gaku, brow furrowed Yashiro, what is she talking about? What have you been keeping from us?

Gaku: sighs I understand your skepticism, but I promise you, we only want to help people like you, to nurture your abilities and use them for the greater good.

Kayo: trembles But how can we trust you, after all the secrets you've kept? How do we know you're not just going to... to use us?

Gaku: raises his hands in a placating gesture I know this is a lot to take in, and I apologize for not being more forthcoming from the start. But I can assure you, we have no intention of using any of you against your will.

Yuina: shakes her head That's exactly what someone who wants to use us would say, Yashiro. I'm not buying it.

Suddenly, a realization dawns on Yuina, and her eyes widen with a mixture of fear and determination.

Yuina: looks at Gaku, her voice trembling You... you knew, didn't you? You knew about my vision, about Kayo's mother. That's why you were there, that's why you were so quick to find us.

Gaku: hesitates for a moment I... I can't deny that we were aware of the situation. But I assure you, our intentions were—

Yuina: interrupts him No, don't give me that crap. You were there because you were watching us, weren't you? Monitoring our every move, waiting to see what we would do.

Satoru: steps forward, his expression angry Yashiro, is that true? Were you spying on us the whole time?

Gaku: sighs heavily I... I can't deny that we've been keeping an eye on you all. But it's not what you think, I swear.

Kayo: voice shaking So everything you've done, everything you've said... it was all just a lie, wasn't it? You were just using us, just like Yuina said.

Gaku opens his mouth to respond, but the words seem to catch in his throat. The group stares at him, their expressions a mix of anger, fear, and betrayal.

Yuina: shakes her head, her voice barely above a whisper I knew it. I knew we couldn't trust you. And now, I know what I have to do.

Yuina turns to her friends, her eyes filled with a steely determination. Satoru and Kayo look back at her, uncertain but ready to follow her lead. Gaku watches them, his expression a mix of resignation and regret.
