March in Japan is the season when cherry blossoms flourish.
It is also the season of graduations.
On the last day of March, Karin High School held its graduation ceremony.
It had been a long time since Kamiya, having obtained the status of a "special status student" from the Countermeasures Office, had been to school.
However, having just preliminarily completed the Strange Tale Game, and conveniently having some free time, he did attend the school on the day of the graduation ceremony.
The school auditorium.
The boys were all dressed in shirts and school blazers, while most of the girls had carefully applied light makeup.
Dressed in formal attire, Kamiya sat in his class's designated area.
A few classmates were quietly chatting with him—
"Eh? You went to Tokyo University with a special status? Tokyo University, wow, I'm so envious."
"No wonder Kamiya-kun hasn't been coming to school lately."
