They both enjoy playing the game, and they have trouble finding Rika. She is an expert in hiding, and they look for her until sundown, and Keichi started to wonder what is happening. He realizes that Rika told her that they wouldn’t be able to find her. Satoko reveals that Rika has been acting strange ever since in the morning, and something might be troubling her.
