After arriving at school, Keiichi and Rena notice that Satoko and Rika are not there. Keiichi assumes that Satoko has a fever. Soon after, Rika enters the class. Keiichi asks where Satoko is, and Rika says that Satoko will be late. During PE class, someone Oishi comes after Keiichi. He wants Keiichi to call Satoko but he keeps refusing. He then asks another student to call Satoko, which is not possible because Satoko is absent. Oishi then tells Keiichi that in place like Hinamizawa, it's better for him to not make enemies. Irie then stops Oishi, and he leaves. Irie then tells him more about Satoshi, how their uncle and aunt abused him and Satoko and what happened to their aunt. During lunch time, Rika remains gloomy and Keiichi asks Mion if she knows anything. Mion says that Satoko's uncle, Teppei, has come back to Hinamizawa.
