So looking at the timings there... Kei sent her a mail. He didn't know the reason she was not responding at the time. Then somewhen between 8:07 PM and 8:30 PM he got a mail from Big Sister warning him about Yuuko not feeling well, and got running. Which makes an "important business" she was involved in... what exactly? Kei already knows about Silas' invitation, so that's not it.
Apparently, unless her sense of time is messed up, it happened an hour before Yuuko caught Silas at the station, but she forgot what it was about. She remembers her meeting with Silas clearly, though. Does her head hurt because of a cognitohazard, or because of her running into a wall headfirst? Or was she supposed to deploy it on Silas and then accidentally deployed it on herself when she missed the tackle? Was it the reason for her sudden visions of the past, or are they an independent constant?
As an aside, isn't 8 P.M. a super late time to come back from school, even if you have a club? Did Silas and Hana schedule their library visit at 9 P.M.?
Yes, getting caught by Metropol is the real risk here, Yuuko. Not climbing however many stories he did... wait, did he at least take the rooftops? I think people would have caught him long before he got to Yuuko's apartment if he ran through the snow-covered streets in pajamas. His skill says he's roof-hopping too, but why would Yuuko mention taking the fire escape on 2nd floor? That's only relevant if you climb up, not down.
On the other hand, if you scale a building in a snowstorm wearing only pajamas, and someone has a change of clothes ready just for that case while being more worried about the cold, you know you have... something.
Or you don't, because you are obtuse and/or too busy crushing on boys from another class.
I love the dynamics between the two. From the outside they look like twins, but they are much more distinct up close. Yuuko almost looks like a different person in her natural environment. She is a lot more confident and... I don't know, adult-like? than when she gets her starry-eyed stare on. She needs her friend to get through the day, but she also manages to look out for him and make sure he keeps his cockiness in check. A perfect symbiosis.
On an unrelated note, I tried imagining Silas entering Nanami's room through the window in a manner similar to Kei's, and doubled over laughing. I suppose it would be possible if a swarm of drones boosted him up. Ah well, he has other redeeming qualities. Not everyone gets to be a cool and dashing parkour rogue...
...please teach us your ways, Kei-senpai!
Er, kouhai. Whatever, just help a brother out!
If Kei gets the Stalker promotion before Silas does I am going to be livid.
I tried to find if this too was a reference to something, and this is all I've got to show for my efforts:
Was it the Literature Club room that Nanami was holed in?
But didn't Hanamura find it filthy (which is not something I would attribute to Nanami), and weren't there shell casings? Why would there be shell casings?
That's the most blatant dodge of the question. Isn't it basically "because"? And I was kinda curious about what makes BigSis special, too!
I know it's a shot in the dark, but I really want to try this. I ran out of ideas how else could Silas be made aware of the situation with his best friend. So what if it has a snowball's chance in hell? We could still luck out, and it's just the matter of statistics before it works!
Even a failure could suggest a way forward.
[x] [INTRIGUE] (DC 18) Where the FUCK did that backup of Big Sister she gave Silas go?! Big Sister should find it, posthaste. Wouldn't do for it to fall into evil hands.
And this one, because BigSis is long overdue for a break.
[x] [HOBBY] FIND A HOBBY. Big Sister has seriously limited time... but that doesn't mean she can't try to figure out if anything strikes her fancy. Right? (Big Sister fumbles around trying to figure out her passion.)
Which leaves the last action something like...
[x] [INTRIGUE] (DC 6) Activate COMINT module: (Rakuyama Riku)
What? I'm curious.
