[It's Wednesday, now. Souji didn't come to school yesterday. He was gone today, too. It's official now: He's been reported missing.

The atmosphere over the usual Supernatural Investigation Club meeting is heavier than usual. The silence from the empty seat Souji usuall sits in seems awfully loud.

After one stretch of silence, Alice speaks up.]

...I don't exactly believe it, but I at least want to say it once.

What if Seta-san's disappearance has something to do with what we did last weekend?

OSAKA is only an apprentice witch!

[You're not a high enough level to seriously mess anyone up yet.]

[ohmygah]

So... There's no way I coulda hurt anybody?

[independent_dollmaker]

Osaka is a good girl.

1/2

[ohmygah]

[Oh okay. That's a load off her mind.]

[ohmygah]

[...But that just brings them back to the witch, doesn't it?]

You really think Shigetsuna-sama mighta had something to do with it then?

[independent_dollmaker]

Ah... I don't know if Shigetsuna-sama exists or not, but maybe it could also be someone pretending to be the witch.

[ohmygah]

Like that American dog with the van!

[independent_dollmaker]

And I'm lost again.

[ohmygah]

You know, the group of teenagers that go about pretending to be monsters for insurance money!

[Not how that show worked, Osaka.]

[independent_dollmaker]

...Are you talking about Scooby Doo?

[ohmygah]

Yeah, him and his criminal friends!
