Boogiepop and Others

Keiji Takeda is waiting for his girlfriend, Touka Miyashita, a junior at the same school. When she does not show up at the appointed time, does not get in touch and the sun starts setting, he gives up and starts walking home. On his way, he sees a peculiar man, and like the rest of the crowd now gathering decides to not get involved. But then, a figure draped in a large cloak and wearing a strange hat rushes to the man's aid. This new figure looks exactly like his missing girlfriend.

One day after school, Kinoshita Kyouko asks Suema Kazuko to walk home with her. As they're walking along the river going home, Kyouko asks Kazuko if she knows another way home. Kazuko teases her, asking her if she thinks someone's going to kill her. Kyouko stays silent and Kazuko tells her she's overthinking things, when suddenly Kirima Nagi appears before them. Nagi then pins Kyouko to the ground.

Tanaka Shiro is worried about Kamikishiro Naoko because she disappeared, so he went to ask Niitoki Kei from the disciplinary committee for help. Kei just figured Naoko was skipping again, but Tanaka tells her that Naoko had her reasons for not showing up to school. Saotome Masami happens to hear them talking and tells them that they should talk to Kirima Nagi. Naoko and Nagi are good friends and she might know something. The three of them then go to look for Nagi.
