Transcript

Among the trees, the orange-haired boy and Milio listen to the pink-haired girl explain that people have been disappearing around town, including a woman who vanished after getting into her car. The pink-haired girl says, “Disappearing?” The pink-haired girl says, “Yep! People have been straight up disappearing all over town.” She continues, “One guy’s wife went outside to grab something from their car. When she didn’t come back, he went to check... and the car was empty” and “Their cameras showed her getting into it, but they never showed her getting back out.” She adds, “And it keeps happening in places that make no sense. Locked rooms, places with only one way in or out.” Turning away, she says, “She just vanished. Crazy, right?!” The orange-haired boy says, “Whoa!” Milio says, “Really..?” The pink-haired girl laughs and says, “Haha! Look at your faces! I knew that’d get you two!”
