The next time we see the girl, she's in high school, and she tells us that she still hasn't given up on her crush, Kota. She's also worried about what's going to happen to her friend, sagano, now that he's back at school. She wonders if he'll be able to drop out of school, since he was at the crime scene that night. Finally, the school year comes to a close, and the girl asks the paper girl if she has to ask her to go to college. The paper girl says no, but the girl still wants to go. The girl tells the girl to take care of her self, and to always be on her guard.
