"I never said the branches were your fault, jackass," she muttered under her breath. Regardless of what other girls thought of him, she barely knew the guy. Besides, it's not like it was<span style="font-style: italic">her</span>fault, she wasn't about to go pressing her chest up against him anytime soon. "How exactly do you explain three branches spontaneously severing from a tree, anyway?! If it's not paranormal, what the heck is it? Branches don't naturally split like that, and the tree looks perfectly healthy."<br/><br/>For the majority of the car ride, Yukiko stayed quiet, her mind absorbed in her own thoughts as well as planning their trip. "I dunno, depends on what kind of spirit we're dealing with. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a poltergeist, that would explain why it's so violent," she answered, in response to Hoshi. "Don't forget we'll be going there at night. We'll probably run into the ghost at some point, so you'll both be experiencing the danger up close, too."<br/><br/>She didn't respond to Kenji's answer, but quickly jotted the information down on her notepad. It was around 4pm now, so that left them with about an hour and a half for interviews, if they got there soon. That would be plenty of time. She obviously couldn't bring her investigation gear, it would look too suspicious, so they would need another hour and a half or so to go back to her house and get it. That would put them back at the factory at 7:30. The videos Hoshi mentioned would have to wait for another day, but this was far more important anyway.<br/><br/>"I wouldn't know what it's like. I wasn't really thinking about the possibility of a paranormal event at the time. I was a little preoccupied with a certain<span style="font-style: italic">someone</span>trying to take advantage of my womanly assets," she said, glaring daggers at the back of Kenji's head.<br/><br/>After a few more minutes, they finally arrived at the factory. Yukiko hopped out right away, taking the lead and walking towards the entrance. There wasn't a lot of protection around the place, considering it wasn't exactly full of astounding treasures. Sneaking in would be easy, she decided. They soon stepped inside and were greeted by a confused looking worker, asking them why they were there. Yukiko, being the 'official' leader of the group, was the one to respond, putting on her bubbliest voice and widest grin as she raised a hand in greeting.<br/>"Hello! We're three students from Yokohama High, here to interview you fine gentlemen about the fascinating world of glass production and manufacturing!"
