When Minami woke up from her deep sleep, the first thing she saw was Chen Yu and his wife conversing tranquilly with the Shrine Maiden, as well as the others who, like her, were just beginning to rouse and climb up from the ground.
Minami felt quite confused, glancing at Kohinata Kaori beside her. She noticed that Kaori didn't seem to have any discomfort—her expression was as if she'd just had a good night's sleep.

For some reason, Minami felt an overwhelming urge in her heart—a yearning to take a closer look at him.
At the same time Minami looked at Inomata Naoki, he coincidentally looked back at her. A similarly strong impulse surged in his heart—the desire to truly take her in.
