Scene 3: The Three Who Must Be Saved

◆September 16th, 9:00 Episode/ Route A――――

In that still image is the
projection of three children.
There's a boy with glasses and a blonde girl.
There's one more――the face can't be seen,
but it can been told it's another girl.
The three of them are wearing school uniforms.
At that time, Ena and Jun speak at the same time.

"No way, why are Tenkawa-kun and the others here!?"
"What!? Then Mashiro-chan and Louise-chan are over there!?"

"Huh, you two know them?"
"Of course! Those three are students in the class I'm working in as an assistant homeroom teacher."

"Last week, I unexpectedly became acquainted with those kids..."
"What!?"

Ukita speaks up from behind the surprised Watase.
"The truth is, I'm also acquainted with those three children."
"How so?"

"First, the boy and I are neighbors. Furthermore, the boy's mother also works in this institute. That's how."
"Then did they come to see his mother?"
"I don't know..."

"Anyway, there are several other images like this one. And the last image was at――"
"7:12, at Area 5."
When he hears those words, Watase realizes what Ukita is trying to say.

"Wait... this image was taken at 7:12, but the barrier wall was set up at 7:00, so..."
"Yes. With the exception of the six of us here, there are at least three other people trapped in LABO."
"What...!?"
Watase looks at the three in the image.
（What were they doing here?)

Did they come here to meet his mother, or was there another reason?
"Professor... what are the names of these high school students?"
"The boy is 'Natsuhiko Tenkawa'."
"The two girls are 'Mashiro Toba' and 'Louise Yui Sannomiya'."

"..."
Watase feels like he's heard those names somewhere before.
As if he's known them all this time, and he feels a sensation of intimacy.
（Could it be that... I went down underground to save these children?)
