Kate goes to the LoFi café the next day to meet with Foun.

Kate enters the café, terrified of being captivated by Foun. When she looked around, she noticed that numerous slaves were serving clients. Kate sat down on an empty chair and quickly ordered her favorite dish. She was playing with her cellphone while waiting for the order.

When the order arrived, Kate noticed the server who was serving her. The waiter turned out to be Foun. Kate once wanted to grab her arm and ask if she wanted to talk to him or if it was all a fake. Foun whirled around and returned to the cashier in an instant.

Don't allow all of these meetings turn out to be a farce... - Kate.

Kate consumes the meal she has ordered. A recognizable voice, though, was heard.

"Who is Kate?"

Kate turns around, and it turns out to be Rena and her family.

"Rena? What exactly are you doing here?"

"I'm having dinner with my family. Why are you here by yourself?"

"Well, I'm alone because it's absurd."

"Okay."

Kate continues to eat. It turns out she felt uneasy at her first encounter with Rena in casual attire.

Oh my goodness, this is my first time meeting pals in non-school uniforms.

Then Kate notices Foun approaching her desk, smiles, and invites her to meet him outside the café. Kate accepts and exits the café to speak with Foun. They both entered the deserted lane. The room was dark and silent, with only one light on.

"Hello, Kate."

"Good day, Foun."

Kate can't see Foun's face since he's wearing a café hat.

"So, what do you want to discuss with me?" Kate inquired.

"Kate, please close your eyes."

"What do you desire? Don't be a fool..." Kate took a step back.

"I shall not do anything unusual. Please close your eyes for a moment. Okay?"

Kate couldn't help but close her eyes, anxious about herself.

Please... Don't be strange.

"Bring your eyes open."

Kate opens her eyes and realizes she has no idea who Foun has been...
