The stalker brings Minako along, planning to deal with her later

"So, what does Mitsuru-senpai need?" Minako asked, trailing a few steps behind the stalker.

"Well, to be honest, it's not Student Council business. Some scoundrel stole her clothes while she was showering after PE class! With my help, she tried to find the culprit, but the towel she had fell apart! Now she's hiding in a bathroom and asked for me to come get you." the stalker explained, rapidly speaking so Minako couldn't get a word in edgewise.

"What?! That's terrible!" Minako gasped, a hand over her mouth in shock. "If she needs my help, I'll do whatever she needs!"

"That's MY line!" the stalker fumed inwardly. This woman would dare usurp her position as Mitsuru's loyal aid? The nerve! The consequences of such audacity would be severe, to be sure. Still, if Mitsuru wanted this woman's help, the stalker wouldn't dare question it. "That's... very loyal of you." the stalker said through gritted teeth.

Arriving at Mitsuru's bathroom hideout, the stalker slowly pushed the door open. "Senpai? I've brought the person you asked for."

"Arisato? Thank heavens..." came Mitsuru's voice from behind one of the stall doors. "Arisato, I apologize for pulling you away from classes, but-"

"No need to explain, senpai! Your friend here already filled me in. Just tell me what you need me to do?" Minako said, her voice filled with determination.

"Well, this is a bit of an **** request. As you've been made aware, I am completely naked inside this stall. I need something to wear, and I know for a fact that I can trust you. So... I must request your uniform."

To the stalker's surprise, Minako seemed taken aback at Mitsuru's request. What had she been expecting? Mitsuru wouldn't have sent for her just for moral support, after all.

"Uh... Senpai? That, well... that might be a problem." Minako said, fidgeting with the hem of her skirt.

"I realize this, Arisato. Asking you to strip down to your underwear is an **** request, but necessary. You could hide here in my place while I acquire a replacement uniform from the school storeroom. I'm the only student with the authority to go there, you see, so I can't send anybody else."

"Well, senpai, you see... it's just, well...-"
