Matt and Masato are going to do a little investigating, but I think that's all that's really planned.  I don't think the school is a bad place to figure out a way to stick the characters together, though I'm guessing the inevitable confrontation with those responsible for the disappearances will by the big unifying event.<br/><br/>Regardless, while Masato is a loner by nature, I will likely invent some reason that he'd need to associate with everyone else if one does not present itself, so hopefully it won't be necessary to jury-rig the story to suit those ends.  I'll take care 'o mine. :)
