"I see a more....practical demonstration is in order to show you what I mean. You."
Yukihira motions to Giallo, passing him a coin.
"Stand at arm's length away from me, and when I tell you to, throw this coin, as hard as you can, at my head."
_{"Y-Yuki-chan!"} Fuuka quietly cries, but Yukihira smiles at her reassuringly.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine."

Kotaro slowly nods.

The red-haired girl stands up, addressing everyone present.
"Hello. My name is Yukihira Kisaragi. My friend here is Fuuka Ibarazaki. We're seniors, here, in Kazuraba.

Now....I know you're wondering why you're here.

At the risk of....looking like a cliche, have you ever wanted to....go beyond the world you live in? To...accelerate beyond the boundaries, so to speak?"

"Funny. I expected more of you to come. Oh well."
The red-haired girl looks around, making sure that anyone she did message is around, at least.

"U-um...." The black-haired girl tries to avoid Giallo's face, as if trying to shrink out of existence. Her voice is small, high and fragile.
"Be patient. I'm waiting for everyone. Please, don't scare my friend." The red-haired girl has a more confident, deeper and more motherly voice. She seems even less intimidated; in fact, she seems rather commanding.

_{"B-by....c-cable transfer...."}
Kotaro could not want to cease his own existence any more than he does right now.

Kotaro refuses to speak further unless prompted.

The black-haired girl shies away from Giallo's stare, pressing up closer against her red-haired companion, who merely stares back calmly.
