Sen and Shu await the usual arrival of Yoshimori, Tokine, Madarao, and Hakubi at Karasumori Academy. However, Sen immediately notices that Sumiko is with them, and wonders who she is. Sumiko introduces herself to the gathered Night Troop members and thanks them for looking after Yoshimori. Both Takemitsu and Todoroki are surprised by how young Sumiko looks. Makio introduces himself and mentions how Masamori always takes care of him. Sen notices that Yoshimori seems strangely subdued.
