As she interacted with Sen, her knowledge of him from their investigation into the missing persons started to clash with memories that Joy would<em>know</em>could not exist, as she'd never laid eyes on him before now.  And yet...they<em>felt</em>entirely real, as if she was really remembering them.  Sen was the student council secretary, and had been since he'd fallen in with the group the previous year.  Joy had transferred partway through that school year to Hisashiro High, and Sen had been the student council representative that had helped with her acclimation to the new school.  He was smart (duh, he was on the council); he was funny; he loved games (they had once spent an entire Saturday afternoon at the Inayama Arcade and blew a bunch of money together).<br/><br/>And he wasn't put off by her funny American accent or the fact that she was freakishly tall compared to Japanese girls.  People had treated her alright, and the student council even invited her out (though she wasn't a part of the group) when they did things together, but Sen had been the first guy that really accepted her into the school's social scene.  That was the reason why...both of them had gotten some grief when it became common knowledge that they were going out.  She got it from the other girls who had been Sen's 'fans' (really they were into<em>any</em>of the boys on the student council); Sen had gotten it from guys in Joy's class (who were really just interested in her big American tits, she knew).  But they were still seeing each other, and...<br/><br/>...there was...something, something at the edge of her memory, but it wasn't coming to her.  Not now.  Maybe she would 'remember' soon enough.<br/><br/>Sen nodded when she replied that she was going to stay at school to help keep her grades up.<tt class="bbc_tt">"Alright, Joy-chan.  I'll be here; you can find me easily enough."</tt>He returned the kiss, and let her leave to go back to class, only sitting down once Joy was out of the room, and the door once again closed.<br/><br/>As she walked out of the student council building, she would discover that another prompt appeared before her.<br/><br/><tt class="bbc_tt">&gt; CONTINUE INVESTIGATION<br/>&gt; FIND PERSON<br/>&gt; HEAD TO ROOF<br/>&gt; GO BACK</tt><br/><br/>Those were all of the options available to her, and they seemed straightforward enough - she would even discover that<tt class="bbc_tt">FIND PERSON</tt>functioned the same way as<tt class="bbc_tt">CONTINUE INVESTIGATION</tt>, with a sub-prompt appearing after selecting the action.  The list of names was fairly short - Sen was on it, of course, but so were the names of the missing people she'd also encountered, and...Aika<em>was</em>on the list, as 'Aika-sensei.'  The person she'd heard about this morning, too, this Souji-sensei, he was on it, as well.
