WHO: Keiichi and Kozue
WHERE: Butterfly Room.
WHEN: Before summer break begins. During gym.
WHAT: Kozue is in her favorite spot to skip things. Keiichi is running errands for Ito-Sensei.
WHY: We said so.


In the past, when Kozue had felt like skipping gym class, she had made vague, foreboding excuses to Aomori-sensei about not wanting to screw up her tennis game, or "feminine problems"—and that had always been effective enough to buy her an excuse note. But that had been when she'd needed an excuse note. Now, she had a secret otherworldly Class Skipping room. Well, she and nearly twenty of her peers did, but… hell, it wasn't like people like Reizo or Kanaye were going to tattle on her for blowing off a day of gym here and there.

And they were doing wrestling. Again. Wrestling with all of its attendant miseries, like Ito-sensei's encouragements and Shirou's enthusiasm and exceedingly dire possibilities of public humiliation. Who wouldn't skip that?

Hiding in the Butterfly Room had gotten creepier, though, since the introduction of the hands. But Kozue was trying her best to ignore them; it was largely effective. Instead, she was sitting on the floor, engaged in adding another coat of pink polish to her toenails. (She was also counting down the days to summer, when she could paint her fingernails as well without risking punishment from the school. Imagine! Weeks and weeks of fingernail polish and makeup and cute outfits with no restriction! And swimsuit season!)
