Tomoko walked down the stairs, passed the gate and reached the platform, all in a quick pace. She was in a hurry, leaving the scene of crime as quick as she could, but she knew she isn't safe out there. First arrest warrants were issued and quickly reached the main cities of Japan. Only the ones for Tomoko as she is the highest priority. She got herself all covered up, wearing a hoodie, a mask so she's unrecognizable.

She went to hide in Tokyo for a few days but decided to leave by taking the main Yamanote lines, went through the suburbs of Tokyo, taking a plane to Kobe, then another train to Okayama. That city means quite a lot to her, it's Rena's birthplace and she promised herself to go back there.

Tomoko found an isolated place in Miyama park, close to the city of Tamano. She was lost in her thoughts. That park was one of Rena's favorite places. She loved hanging out there during her vacations, when visiting her family. A moment of peace and silence she really needed. She tried hard not to burst in tears to avoid being noticed by the people passing by. 

She put her hair in a ponytail and swept her bangs to the side, she was wearing a black hoodie, jumpers and white sneakers. She wasn't smiling, in fact, her serious facial expression made her look a lot more mature. She was looking up the sky for long hours until the sun finally came down. She left the park in the evening and reached her hotel room.

She then got several messages on her phone. One from Takumi, who was worried about her suddenly disappearing. It just said "Where are you Tomo-chan ? Please come back, I miss you. I need you, you're not safe over there."

then two other messages from an unknown sender: "You're not safe over there" , "Don't hide !" with a picture of a sign embedded in it. It was a road sign indicating Okayama.

Those messages were strange and slightly creeped the young girl out. She felt suddenly uncomfortable, someone might actually be after her.


She also received another message that said: "This place is no longer safe for you. You should leave as soon as possible. Police patrols around Okayama and Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture, Take that blue envelope while checking out, Remember your name is now Sayaka Sato. Go as far as possible. -Chaì"


Tomoko didn't recall Chaì at that very moment because the intonation of the message seems concerning and very unusual coming from her. Chaì's messages are usually light hearted and short. She would be very worried about Tomoko's situation.


She woke up the next morning very early, washed her hair and dyed it black. She put on make up, fancy jewelry and a classy suit. She left the hotel, took the blue envelope and left by taxi which took her to Okayama's main station. She took another train back to Osaka and went straight to Kansai Airport.

She took the first flight to Paris the next morning. It was obvious this couldn't last for long and she would have to return at some point. She's now Sayaka Sato until her next flight back to Japan.
