Aichi stayed at Seiko's house out of loneliness at his apartment after his mother transformed.
"Wait, didn't you say you had a brother, Ai-kun?"
"Yeah. But he's outside Seijo, right now. I doubt he even knows what happened to Mom."
"Anyway, that Mojidori attack yesterday was the city's biggest. Classes were suspended so that the city can be repaired."
"You could say that, again."
Aichi lies down on his arm while sitting at the table positioned at Seiko's porch.
"Ai-kun?"
"I'm fine, I'm just really bored."
Seiko places her hand on Aichi's head. Aichi turns towards her to see her lightly smiling. Aichi also smiles and takes her hand.

"Yo!" Raigi makes his way to the front porch.
"What makes you here, Senpai?"
"Isn't it obvious? I'm here for work purposes. Especially since we have a new leader."
"Oh yeah... that...."
"So Aichi-sama, what should we do now?"
"Don't call me that.. I'll think of something soon."
"Come to think of it. We kinda strayed from our original goal of solving the mystery of The Metaform Effect."
"You're right. Seiko, call Ko-"
"No need for that, I'll do it myself."
"Hah?"
*
Sleeping Soundly on her bed is Kokoshi. After finding out that B.B. Classes were suspended, she planned to doze off the entire day.
Until..
"RISE AND SHINE KOKO-"
"Hey! Hey! I have a 2000 page encyclopedia ready to be hurled towards you at terminal velocity!"
"I thought you were asleep."
"I can't sleep as long as you are near me."
*
Aichi(A):So.. um.. we should start off with-
Seiko(S):Aichi, just imagine you're discussing your chemistry experiments.
A: Yeah, but if I do that, I'll have to bring out my egotistical side.
S: *sigh* As much as I dislike that side of you, that would be for the best.
Raigi(R): I second that.
Kokoshi(K): That settles it.
A: Alright.. I'll try to bring him out.
S: ...
R: ...
K: ...
S: ...
R: So... where is he?
A: I can't.. I don't think I can let him out..
R: Wait, if I remember correctly, he only came out after Seiko was hurt by the Mojido-
K: Don't even think about it.
S: Well, he almost let him out after I almost..
R: You almost what?
S: ....kissed him.
R: Then Kiss him!
K: Raigi.. Encylopediaaaaa...
R: *gulp*
K: To be honest, that might work.
A: Ahhh! It's fine. I'll just try to clench this.
R: Dammit! I wanted to see some development!
*
A: So let's start off with Simile.
S: Despite being called Energy, it, by definition, isn't.
R: True, energy is not visible Correct?
S: Yes, but whenever Figures activate, a bluish plasma is radiated, we can say that it isn't technically energy since the plasma is visible.
A: If Simile does have plasma properties, we can easily discern it's chemical composition, through the color.
S: Are you comparing it to Flame Coloration?
A: I do have a theory.
S: Continue.
A: Based on the coloration. Simile seems to have a connection to Copper Chloride.
S: Oh! That would make sense! Since Copper Chloride is used to accelerate chemical reactions!
A: I'm sure that Tokyo's Phenomenon Behaviorability Sector found this out a long time ago. They just don't announce scientific findings often.
R: Hey, what if we just experiment right now?
A: Good idea- wait what are we doing?
S: An experiment about measuring one's Simile. Good idea.
*
The experiment uses 2 thermometers, one to measure the catalytic effects of Copper Chloride. And another to detect plasma.
While Raigi and Kokoshi were setting up, Seiko compliments Aichi, "I told you, you could do it."
"That's a lie. You didn't tell me."
"Hmph. You could still understand what I'm talking about."
"Of course, I can. I'm no idiot."
*
"Alright Senpai, all you have to do is-"
"GET ME OFF OF HERE!"
"I'm still surprised that you managed to set all this up within 30 minutes."
Kokoshi was busy duck taping Raigi's mouth, "Oh. Yeah. This guy's amazing."
"Now all we have to do is-"
"I've got this."
"Oh. In that case, do whatever you need to do Kone-chan."
Kokoshi approached the incapacitated Raigi. And grabbed a book ready to obliterate him.
His muffled voice sounded like "AAAAAAA! IM SORRY IM SORRY, WHATEVER I DID WRONG IM SORRY. PLEASE DONT HUUURT MEEE!!" His wrist glowed as he was panicking and being on the verge of tears.
"Looks like even fear is enough to trigger his Figure."
"I'll just run analysis on the data. You two have whatever you want to have."
"Weird way to put it."
*
"I asked you to wait for my answer, didn't I?"
"Yeah. I'm a very patient person so I can wait."
"That's great. You know, I would immediately say Yes and we would be dating right now if it weren't for the fact that I still have School and Work to look after."
"Unfortunately.."
"Yeah. We are actually starting to make progress here."
"Mhmm. I haven't forgotten my promise."
"That's what I like about you. Anyway, we should check over to Kone-chan for her results."
*
"Hey, it just got finished. So here's the result. When Raigi's figure activated, both thermometers detected high Copper Chloride concentrations. You were right."
"Like I said, it's nothing special. Tokyo's PBR has probably already found this out."
"I did find something, quite interesting."
"Hm?"
"The Simile that was received contained more than just Copper Chloride. It contained foreign Simile."
"What?"
"Reverse Engineering Raigi's own Simile. I found out signatures that could be traced back to his figure. The foreign Simile had Signatures that corresponded to the figure, Other Side."
"That's... the Figure of Lieutenant General Dabu Jinosuke."
Just then, Aichi's phone rang with a message, "You just found something you're not supposed to.".
Raigi, takes off his ropes and glances at Kokoshi to see a red dot on her head. His eyes widen as..
BANG!
The window breaks as Kokoshi falls off her chair. A sniper had shot her.
Seiko cups her mouth.
"KONE-CHAN!"
