Pt. 10 (Final)
Penny woke up. She groggily – and somewhat frustratedly – untangled her phone from one of the sheets, her eyes barely capable of opening. She unlocked her phone without looking at it, and then very gradually opened her eyes until she could read the time: 6:59AM.

Pt. 9
Penny, Eve and Leslie sat at a table by the large window overlooking the street below. It was a wide but quiet street, with a police station located directly across from them, a glossy patrol car parked out front. Penny wondered what types of crimes the Akihabara otaku would be committing, and whether it was a good thing the car looked like it had never been driven before.

Pt. 8
Penny and Eve found themselves in a dark, covered, mazelike alley that was packed with old vending machines, where the only light came from the dim, sometimes flickering display lights.

Pt. 7
Smoke permeated the air at the busy Takeshita Street entrance in Harajuku, the gate decorated with a cute, colourful owl, gift-wrapped boxes, and stars, all of which were made out of artificial flowers. Despite a building being on fire farther down the street, Harajuku was popping off, the dense crowds largely made up of pedestrians wearing bold, individualistic outfits. Just about everyone was masked, as well, to cut down on the amount of smoke they were breathing in.

Pt. 6
The next day was brighter, though still overcast; the layer of clouds covering the sky glowed white, and the air was still chilly without a fully-revealed sun. Penny, Eve and Maaya dressed warmly, Penny with a purple long-sleeved shirt depicting the silhouette of Eva Unit 01, Eve wearing a little wool sweater over her comfortable blue dress, and Maaya wearing the same jacket she’d been wearing since Penny and Eve had met her.

Pt. 5
Penny and Eve arrived at the Mister Donut on Akihabara’s perpetually-busy main street. Maaya was standing out front with her back to the shop’s large windows and idly checking her phone. She was dressed largely in black, with pastel pink and blue paint strokes on her black t-shirt, which she wore under a black jacket that had several underground band pins on it.

Pt. 4
Penny dreamed she was already back in her hometown and exploring a pet store. She was by herself, going from cage to cage as she looked at the animals, imagining what it would be like to have a pet. Eventually she made her way to the aquariums, expecting some colourful but otherwise uninteresting fish, but near the end of the row she stopped at the largest tank in the store.

Pt. 3
“Did the elevator take us to the basement by mistake?” Eve asked as they peered into the hallway through the opened doors.

Pt. 2
The maids completed the routine, which encompassed all 12-and-a-half minutes of the song. The lights on the stage went out, and the customers and floor maids applauded as the stage maids held their final poses for several seconds. The maids on either side of the flyer girl then hopped off, leaving the flyer girl standing casually onstage as she looked at Penny and Eve with a curious smile.

Pt. 1
Penny, Eve, and Penny’s mother arrived late in Akihabara, Tokyo, the three entering their 20th floor hotel room at around 6:30PM. Penny’s mother was in Akihabara – or “Akiba”, after the deity of a shrine – on business; Penny had convinced her mother to let her come with her, and Eve had convinced Penny to convince her mother to let her come as well.
A young woman wakes up in a dead field surrounded by five buildings. Unable to remember who she is or how she got there, she searches her shoulder bag, discovering a college architecture textbook, a test sheet with the name Iris on it, and a ring of five keys.
Is the young woman's name really Iris, and will these keys lead her back to her memories, as well as her home?
