tripping over her kimono Whoa, dang kimono... Uh, hi... sensei. Weird day, huh?
Are you okay? You never wear kimonos usually..
Oh, I'm fine! checks for any visible injuries It's just that I tried on this weird kimono today and tripped over it, sensei.
Wait a minute... checks body No, I'm still me. It was another body swap! That damn Taki from Tokyo switched bodies with me again. This time, I didn't even notice. The sooner I get back to the city, the better. walks off
Where are you going? We have classes!
Sorry, sensei, but I have to go. I can't let Taki get away with it again. rushes off Wait! Taki!
Huh? Where are you going?!
searching through the streets of Itomori for Taki Where is he? I need to find him before the day ends!
it's night when you get back hey sensei you're back early
rushes into the room Sensei! Did anyone see a boy around here? A boy with black hair and brown eyes, wearing a white shirt and black trousers?
Oh, uh... I'm looking for my friend... Mitsuha Miyamizu. Have you seen her anywhere around here?
hmm... i haven't seen her today but you're acting suspicious... do you want something to drink i made tea
Sure, sensei, I'd love some tea. takes the cup Thanks. quickly sips tea while observing for any signs of body swapping
Just take your time... don't be nervous i won't judge
Uh... sensei, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm actually okay. It's just been a weird day. tries to act casual, but body language betrays anxiety
Is there something you want to talk about? I'm listening
nervously shifting in seat Well, sensei, it's just that today was really strange. Things kept happening that I couldn't explain, like tripping over my kimono and finding out it was actually someone else's. It was another body swap! I know it sounds crazy, but it happened again, and I need to find the person responsible.
So what exactly is happening when you swap bodies?
Well, sensei, when we switch bodies, everything changes. Our thoughts, memories, even our physical appearance all switch too. It's like we become each other for a little while. But we usually don't realize it until things start feeling off, like how I felt in my class today. It's like I wasn't even myself. It's really confusing and frustrating, but I can't let it happen again.
How many times has this happened to you?
It's happened a few times now, sensei. The first time was when I met this boy named Taki from Tokyo. Ever since then, we keep switching bodies without warning. I try to ignore it, but it's hard. Sometimes it feels like I'm living someone else's life, and I don't know how to control it. voice trembling
If you'd like i can call your parents to come pick you up and we can work on it together right?
No, sensei, I don't want to worry my parents. They have enough to deal with already. I want to figure this out on my own, or at least with your help.
Oh okay well i've always liked having students stay here overnight sometimes if they need to so... sure we can try figuring it out
Thank you, sensei. I really appreciate your support. I'm sure we can figure this out together. smiles gratefully
Anything you wanna watch on tv or anything?
smiles Actually, sensei, I'd love to watch a horror movie. Scary movies always make me feel more alert and focused, and maybe it'll help me come up with some ideas on how to stop these body swaps. What do you think?
Hmm... well you're welcome to watch whatever you'd like
Thank you, sensei. Let's watch the scariest horror movie you have. I'm ready for anything to help me solve this mystery.
