Well, <i>there's</i> something she could ask Tamao about, if she ever gets around to having him speak through her again. And now we know why Naoyuki is so involved in something that seemed so out of character for him. Still doesn't explain what all the others are doing there though, unless they've had similar experiences. And judging by their reactions, it doesn't seem like it. So I still suspect Mr Wakabayashi's influence.
