I. Winter Mourning

[ Since arriving, it's been hard for Rena to find safe places. She doesn't know where she belongs into this new world or really what to do with herself. Without her friends and family, she feels lost.

Sapphora has been a nice place at least. She doesn't drink, being underaged, but they don't seem to mind her presence there. In fact some of the women working there have been more than kind and try to help her out. One of the suggestions is to get into the spirit of the season to maybe feel more at home. So they help her build a Winter Mourning.

Maybe you happen to be at Sapphora at the time or maybe you happen to run into Rena as she's taking it back home. Either way, you're both dragged into an unwanted memory. ]

A. [ One of the memories is a happy one. Just a simple scene of a group of friends enjoying a picnic together and goofing around. Sometimes those are the best memories, though, and the present Rena, who’s clearly aged since then, doesn’t hesitate to join you with a smile on her face in greeting. She doesn’t mind sharing this even with a stranger.

Her gaze turns back to the group, and their antics make her laugh. She puts her hand over her heart as if it threatens to overflow with happiness. ]

It’s so strange to think then that Keiichi-kun was so new to our group… but he fit right in. He was a natural addition to the club. [ She nods quietly. ] Every day was so fun with them. Never a dull moment… I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

B. [ Or maybe you see a bad memory instead. You can try to interact with it, but nothing will happen. The terrible scenes play out as intended. There’s no changing the past no matter how much Rena wishes she could even to this day.

Speaking of her, the clearly older, present Rena makes herself known by speaking in a feeble, shaking voice that somehow breaks through her younger self’s loud sobbing. ]

D-Don’t look… pl-please don’t look… [ She covers her face with her hands, clearly trying to hide her crying while she shakes her head. ] H-He didn’t mean it… i-it was my fault… please… don’t…

C. [ Perhaps it's your memory instead! What do Rena see? Can she interactive or not? Spare no details! ]

II. Run Rabbit Run

[ Taking the path, Rena heads into the woods once more. She’s been warned plenty of times how dangerous it is, but still, she keeps going back. Why isn’t clear and asking her will get a nonanswer from her. The only way to find out is to follow her. Though, it’s clearly unwise to approach her while she carriesa weapon.

She continues on for what feels way too long and too far into the woods, but at some point, Rena will leave the path. She goes into the woods but not deeply so. No, right off the path, there’s the clear reason why she’s been coming off here: a van. It’s old, and the lack of tires makes it clear it doesn’t run anymore. She approaches it with clear familiarity but slows suddenly.

It takes only a moment to realize why, but it’s disorienting. One minute you have your feet firmly on the ground, and then next, you’re up in the air and upside down, hanging by your ankle in a tree. Rena approaches you with a frown, still holding that weapon in her hands. ]

Well… I’m no trap master like Satoko-chan, but I think I did a pretty good job. [ Her expression darkens. ] Why are you following me? Why?
