There's a pale, wide-eyed, stringy-haired spectre hovering just behind her... and ''then'' Yuina turns around and shows it the cute viral video she was showing to Hikari!

Despite Hikari's initial suspicions and misgivings, it turns out "Reiko" is perfectly harmless, just lonely and not used to life in the 21st century. But Yuina is more than happy to introduce her new friend to all the wonders of the modern world, from boba tea to video arcades, and Hikari finds herself warming up to this strange new friend.
