It started off with a moderate sized night time earthquake that disrupted Mitsuko from studying.
And after the quake had subsided, Mitsuko's teacup mysteriously fell down from her desk, which was followed along with her entire doll collection floating around.
The next day, Uiharu wound up getting informed by Daigo that she was getting a new roommate, a transfer student named Erii Haruue.
Misaka, myself, and Saten, then took Erii out to show her around while Uiharu, Kuroko and Konori had to attend a meeting held by Therestina Kihara, Lifeline of the Multi Active Rescue (MAR), concerning earthquake-like "Poltergeist incidents" caused by multiple espers simultaneously losing control of their abilities.
Later that night, Misaka, myself and Kuroko wound up skipping out on our curfew to celebrate Erii's arrival, with Saten and Konori at the local fireworks festival.
"I just don't know what it is, but fireworks are just so beautiful at night," I said.
"I agree Keiko, you are indeed right, they truly are beautiful," Misaka said in response as we, along with everyone else that was present, gazed up at the fireworks.
It was at this point however, that Erii then started to reminisce about her past with us, but wound up falling into a trance, to which she then wandered off on her own.
Kuroko then got a call from Konori, who had recently discovered that the Poltergeist incidents were being created on purpose.
But, at that very moment, another Poltergeist incident then occurred near Uiharu and Erii, who were then saved from a falling lamppost by Therestina.
And it was then that though, that we all slowly realized what had just happened.
And as for what lay ahead regarding the timeline.
It was only a matter of time now, before we would all need to prepare ourselves.
