"Well, Mis. Kawakami," said Futaba. "You see, my mom was a cognitive psientist. And I've been really fascinated by the concept of all that stuff for a while, so I looked up some hypnosis techniques on the Internet."

"Uh huh," Kawakami nodded.

"The thing is," Futaba continued. "I've never tested it on, you know, people. So I figured maybe I could find someone today to help out."

"Well," Kawakami gave a small smile. "I suppose I could help you out. Seeing as how you're the friend of one of my best old students."

"Um, you mean Ren, right?" Futaba asked.

"Yes," said Kawakami. "Besides, I haven't had much sleep lately due to...tutoring after school. Maybe this would be just the thing to help me relax."

Kawakami took a seat behind her desk as Futaba readied the coin.
