BAD END ... Replay?

[ Rika woke up that morning as she did any other morning... a little on edge, maybe, because what was that TV thing last night, but otherwise just fine. She cheerfully went to make her family breakfast and cheerfully went outside to check for mail and wave happily to her neighbors. All was well in Mayfield.

Until she saw a flying saucer.

Though not abducted, Rika got a good glimpse none the less. And after that talk with Bernkastel last night, well... ]

m-mi...!!! Mayfield... please do not fall to Bernkastel's lows...

[ Phone ☆ Morning ]
mi~i. Good morning, everyone. I am sorry to bother you so early in the morning... am I the only one who has seen things flying in the sky this morning? They look very strange... combined with the television program last night, I would feel much better if perhaps we all kept a close on each other today!

... Please call me back soon if you do not intend to be at school, so that I will not worry. Thank you!

[ Action ☆ Afternoon ]
[ Not gonna lie; Rika's really bothered by all of this. Seeing so many people act like mean drones is creeping her out. She may even be a bit visibly bothered, which is unusual for Rika, as she casually moves around high school. It did not help her mood to see those pods all over town either. In her classes and at lunch, Rika will migrate towards anyone who seems remotely normal and sit next to them.

Even strangers. As long as she has sane company. ]

Y-you are not acting strangely, are you? May I please sit with you?
