Kaori Sasaki, a member of Uchihama Academy's Astronomy Club, confesses to Sou Akiyama, but later that evening she dies in a tragic road accident. Her friends and fellow club members mourn her death at a local hospital. Yet the next day she shows up at school, and no one senses anything amiss. The day passes without any unusual incidents, and the group of friends plans for the upcoming cultural festival. Suddenly, an unnatural earthquake shakes the room. Everyone splits up to investigate, except for Nagisa Hanamiya, who stays behind. As everyone leaves, Nagisa notices that the odd relic-like cube she was toying with starts emitting a strange blue light. Meanwhile, Sou stumbles upon an unconscious, naked girl lying in a pool of water.
