WHO: Renju, Tom, Kozue, and any others who choose to drop in.
WHAT: Research.
WHERE: Nanakamado library.
WHEN: Saturday after school.
WHY: Because Renju needs to stay sane somehow.

Work was Renju's usual coping mechanism when things went outside the ordinary. Denied it, she'd go crazy. She knew this from experience--leaving school last term was probably the worst thing she could have done. Lack of work led to boredom led to dwelling on things best not dwelled on.

But today she couldn't concentrate... or rather, she could only concentrate on all the wrong things. The other world--or whatever "Paradise" was--and the strange behavior of the others who apparently knew about it had crowded everything else from her head. And as if that weren't bad enough, even she couldn't help but notice all the gossip surrounding the abrupt end to the school trip. Too many fragments, and nothing she could get from them.

She retreated deeper into her pile of books, trying to shut it out. The book on Western mythology she was flipping through right now wasn't really much help in finding the... whatever it was that had emerged back at the museum, but damned if she wasn't going to try anyway.

Renju's carefully neutral expression slipped into a slight frown as Tom settled in near her. She didn't know anything about the book he'd taken, but was it meant to be a hint? Had Ito-san told him about meeting her in Paradise? Was he trying to signal that he knew?

If she thought about this for too long, it was going to turn into a convoluted train of "I know that you know that I know..." and that was something Renju didn't particularly care to deal with.

"So I've heard." She looked back up, seeing... someone she didn't recognize. No, wait, she'd been in that group in the woods, too, hadn't she? There were too many people there for her to really remember too clearly, and she'd had other things on her mind.
