    a "Wow...you guys are really getting the ball rolling early this time, aren’t you?"

    "Ayane and I make our way back to the rest of the girls while Maya ventures off to do...Maya stuff. "
    "But considering the fact that none of them greeted either of us with concern or confusion tells me that, in our recent “absence,” things have stayed at least somewhat normal."
    "And that is something I can say with confidence given just how many “Sensei, are you okay?”s I have gotten succeeding my {i}blackouts{/i} over the past couple years."
    "But now comes that hard part — figuring out exactly how much we missed and what may have happened within that time."

    ay "So, Halloween. Am I right?"

    "Okay. Or Ayane’s just going to get right to work with the completely normal and not at all suspicious beach conversation topic of a holiday that may or may not have just happened."

    mo "No, I don’t believe you are."
    a "First my birthday, now Halloween? Why are you acting like you’ve gone back in time all of a sudden?"

    mo "Have you been microwaving any bananas lately? Are there secret government agencies on your trail? Because I can help you. I just need to know {i}how.{/i}"
    a "At least you’re acting normal, Sensei. Sudden and suspicious disappearances become a lot {i}more{/i} suspicious when {i}both{/i} people who disappeared are suddenly acting...you know. Suspicious."
    sa "Didn’t...um..."
    sa "Wasn’t...Maya...with you as well?"
    a "Hey, yeah. Where’d Maya go? They just opened some new stalls further down the beach and we were supposed to go buy some stuff for tonight. "

    mo "Pardon me for asking, Sir- but did you perhaps finish the rest of our routes and then proceed to erase our recollection of them? Because I always assumed the Maya route would be the last to unlock."
    a "There will be no Maya route. Or a Molly route. Or a Sana route or an Ayane route. Or any route other than an Ami route. "

    sa "Uh...how about we...don’t talk about...weird things like that? "

    ay "G...Getting things back on track, would anyone happen to remember what day it is?"
    mo "What track are you even on exactly? Because your entire appearance today has made it sound like you’re playing Crash Team Racing while the rest of us are cruising down Rainbow Road."
    a "Hm? It’s Monday."
    ay "If it’s Monday...why aren’t we in school? "
    s "What part of this is {i}natural{/i} to you?"

    scene beachmasthree7
    with dissolve

    mo "I’ve got it! You {i}have{/i} completed Ayane’s route! "
    mo "And the only reason she’s acting so strangely today is because her memories are slowly leaking back into her due to the sheer power of her love for you! "
    mo "There’s no need to tell me I’m right. I already know I am."
    s "You’re not. But strangely enough, I’m not really 100%% confident in saying that."
    a "Uhh...we’re not in school because we’re on Winter break, obviously."

    scene beachmasthree8
    with dissolve

    ay "How is that obvious?! We’re at the beach and it’s gotta be like...ninety-five degrees!"
    mo "Why are you using Fahrenheit? We live in Japan."
    a "It’s obvious because the calendar says it’s winter, so it’s obviously winter. I don’t see why you have to be so weird about it."
    a "Plus, even if it {i}wasn’t{/i} winter, we’d still have off for Christmas tomorrow. "

    scene beachmasthree9

    ay "C...Christmas is tomorrow?!"

    ay "Uhh...one last question. If tomorrow is Christmas, how come we’re at the beach {i}now?{/i} "
    ay "Don’t we normally hang out at that hotel in the urban district for Christmas? And...don’t we normally come to the beach {i}before{/i} Halloween?"
    a "Do we? I don’t know. Things seemed pretty normal to me. "
    a "The only complaint I have is that we still don’t know what the grand prize from the Dorm Wars is apart from the fact that it’s just Sensei."
    s "Am I not just rooming with the winning floor again?"

    scene beachmasthree12
    with dissolve

    a "No. Imani didn’t like that idea and she said you should just stay with her instead."
    s "Okay. And where is Imani being forced to sleep after you all joined hands and rejected that suggestion together?"
    a "Our room. Tied up in the corner."
    s "Oh well. Safer your room than the one is Kirin is in, I guess."
    s "How does that affect the Christmas party, though? If we’re still having one, that is."
    a "I told you earlier, didn’t I? That’s going to be in our room as well. All the fun stuff is happening in the first floor's room since it’s bigger."
    a "And also because we’re the superior floor that loves you more. "

    if dormwar2floor2win == True:
        mo "And yet...{i}my{/i} floor is the one that emerged victorious. How strange."
        a "Are you suggesting something, Molly?"
        mo "Oh, no. No..."
        mo "Just the fact that our floor will undoubtedly have the better h-scenes due to our more extreme personalities. "
        ay "{size=-15}Well, you’ll certainly have {i}more{/i} of them at this rate.{/size}"

    "Well...I guess that solves the “{i}Where are we in time?{/i}” question."
    "But if nearly a full two months have passed since the ending of the Dorm Wars...just what {i}else{/i} has happened within that time?"
    "And, better question, what happened between {i}Yumi{/i} and me? Because I was talking to her when the sudden transition came and..."
    "And if the way she looked is any indicator of how that must have gone from her perspective, there’s no doubt she’d be confused."
    "..."
    "I should...probably go and find her."

    s "Uhh...have any of you seen Yumi, by any chance?"

    scene beachmasthree13
    with dissolve

    a "Was being with her all morning not enough?"
    s "What?"
    mo "I believe Arborea is referring to the mass amount of affection points you have been grinding with her lately."
    sa "It’s true that you...have been spending more time with her than normal lately..."

    "Ayane and I exchange a glance of mutual confusion as to what this must mean, but it doesn’t detract from the fact that I need to see her {i}now{/i} to clear all of that up."

    s "I-"
    a "No one’s seen her since you scared her off a little while ago. And I wouldn’t bother chasing after her if I were you."
    s "Well, you’re {i}not{/i} me. And I’m free to chase whoever I want to chase after."

    scene beachmasthree14
    with dissolve

    a "Hey, don’t be mean! I’m only saying that because you’ve seemed really exhausted lately and I worry about you."
    a "I know it’s {i}my{/i} job to take care of you, but if you don’t start taking {i}some{/i} sort of care of yourself,  you’ll wind up-"

    to "That’s not true at all. In fact, I’ve always admired what you do for the class. "
    to "And if it weren’t for the worksheets you would make me when I first transferred in, I can’t say I’d even {i}be{/i} here right now."
