Outside Hibiya high school 9:32am
-So? What’s your plan?
-Plan? Oh, yeah I did tell you that.
-What?! You’re telling me that you’ve dragged me out of class with no plan in mind?
-I guess you could say that.

-You’re the worst.
-I know
At Hie shrine 9:37am
-Why are we here again?
-Well, since you decided to waste my time with no plan in mind, I thought maybe some praying to god to give you a brain might be useful.

Near Hie shrine 9:41am
The police arrived 9:46am
