Beeeen to neither of those! but I do see some similarities between Shibuya and Japonifornia.

All of this got you missing home?

... More than ever. It's not like I hang out in Shibuya all the time or anything, but I keep feeling like maybe I could hop on the train and head back home.

[ To be homesick... ]

Got anyone waiting for you?

Mm... I dunno if there's anyone waiting for me, really.

... No friends, either?

Well, I do have my friends...

I guess it'd depend on if we've been gone long enough for anyone to notice we're missing.

At most, I asked Kiichi about how we'd return... And I know that we wouldn't be put into a near-death situation if we were in one, then we'd keep our memories of our time here.

So I'm guessing time doesn't quite... Move.

Huh... So it'd be like picking up where we were last?

If we were to believe them, then that's what it is.

A little convenient. I don't know what it's like for people at different timelines, though.

... Me neither, but I don't have that to worry about.

That's good! Less of a headache.

... So I guess with going back to where you left off, "waiting for you" is not literal.

I don’t think so. I was in the middle of something, though… I wonder if I’ll just get thrown back into that.

What's this something? School?

[ What do little girls with pipes do. ]

Oh. No, I was… helping Date with his investigation. He’s a police detective.

With a testimony?

[ YOU ARE 12 ]

[ shakes her head ]

Nah, he's working on a case. I wanted to do my part.

... I really don't want to say now you have a lot of experience.

[ IT FEELS

BAD

BUT IT'S TRUE ]

Ugh. You're not wrong about that... Though, the police work way differently than we did.

I'm sure some of it is helpful!

Yeah, I'll know to tell our next suspect they gotta strip down to their underwear.

... I do think we missed some people because we didn't thoroughly check them, but at least police should have technology.

Yeah. I mean, we do already have a suspect back home based on an injury, but it's not like we took off his clothes to find out.

A lead is something... Better than nothing. Maybe you'll learn more from him? With... His clothes on.

We were going to confront him, actually...
