Later at school, Aoi shares a rumor about the first Wonder. Their conversation is interrupted by an unusual event in their classroom, where time appears to have fast-forwarded, leaving only Nene and Aoi's belongings untouched.

Simultaneously, two of Kou's friends suddenly grow geriatric. Sensing supernatural involvement, Kou and Nene seek Hanako's help. Together, they deduce that the first Wonder, the Three Clock Keepers, who govern time, must be involved.

Hanako reveals that one of the Keepers is disguised as a student. Their search leads them back to Nene's classroom, where Hanako grows suspicious of Aoi. When a window suddenly breaks, Aoi and Akane enter the room.

Hanako, possessing Nene's body, interrogates Aoi using bold tactics, prompting Akane to intervene. Akane accidentally expels Hanako from Nene's body and decides to join their investigation to ensure Aoi's safety.

The group later finds Aoi alone in the auditorium. To test their theory, Hanako causes a chandelier to fall on her, and their target finally reveals themselves by stopping time to save her. In a shocking twist, the second Clock Keeper, who controls the present, is revealed to be Akane himself.
