[She answers. "Hello?"] ["Kyon! Cool! Sorry about cancelling our date."] ["Cool. I'm up in the paper room, as usual."] ["You mean right now? I'm pretty swamped with work..."] ["But if you really want I'll make an exception. It's cool."] ["That's cool. What's up?"] ["Hmmmmm....." Chikako muses a bit. "Ah! Doesn't she go to Seiryuu Girls School? That school is cool, really high class. I don't know much about her, though."] ["Nuh-uh."] [Chikako gasps. "Her? Um... Not really. I mean she skipped school yesterday and today, but that's not unusual. Why?"] ["Nope, sorry. I dunno what you'd wanna ask someone like her, though. She's not cool. Um... Have you seen Katie lately? How has she been?"] ["Oh, no, I don't... I don't know if she'd want to hear from me. She's changed a lot since you went to China, and not in a cool way. I'm worried" Chikako pauses a bit, then adds, "And scared."] ["I don't- I can't-.... I'm not ready to talk to her yet. I might make things worse."] ["I'm not..." there's a pause, and some other talking, and then: "I've gotta go, Arisu's here."] ["Cool. Bye!"]
