=Kyon and Chikako's mother= Kyon gets an answer! "Ishikawa residence! It's so neat!" ( It's her mother. ) "Why, no, she stopped by for a bit to change, then ran off. She probably has some things to do with friends after school." She sighs. "Kids today are so neat!" "Actually, I'm not sure! She said she would be back in time for dinner, though. Isn't that neat?" "Why, yes, she does have that neat little thing... although she got two phonecalls before she left, and didn't answer either one. I wonder why?" "That's neat!" "Goodbye, dearie!" =Kyon and Chikako= "Cool... Um... Hi." "Ummmm...." "Did you see the paper?" Chikako hesitates. After a long minute, she finally blurts: "Did they kill him? Yushiro?" "Yesterday, Katie and Haruko and Satoshi came to the office to develop pictures, which was cool. But they said it was something they could use to stop Yushiro." "... It's cool. Later?" "Um..." "I guess now is cool." "Oh. I thought you meant over the phone." "Sure, it's cool." "Um... Anywhere's cool." "I dunno..." She doesn't really respond to that. "I'm... kinda near Harajuku. But I went walking." "Okay. Cool." "Cool. Bye."
