Keiichi borrows magical trunks that cause self-love after he writes his own name on them.
Feb 25, 2009Rushing to meet friends at the pool, Keiichi borrows trunks from Mion's uncle, who claims they make women attracted to the wearer. Mion later learns the uncle made a mistake: the person whose name is written on the briefs falls in love with the wearer. Since Keiichi wrote his own name, he becomes infatuated with himself. The girls attempt to convince him to remove the trunks, but Keiichi suspects a trick to force him into embarrassing clothing. The group chases him to retrieve the item, even turning his friends Tomitake, Oishi, and Irie against each other. The trunks are removed before the three-hour limit expires, yet Keiichi remains naked and refuses to wear the alternative garments provided by the girls.

Rika faces a new Hinamizawa after a fatal collision ends her previous loop.
Mar 25, 2009Having escaped the repeating tragedies of June 1983, Rika dies in a bicycle accident and awakens in an alternate Hinamizawa. This world differs significantly from previous loops: Keiichi, Takano, Irie, and Hanyuu are absent, and she lacks close friends, with Satoko being particularly hostile. The dam project threatening the town continues, and the usual series of disasters have not occurred, meaning Satoshi and her parents remain alive. Unlike her past experiences where she knew the outcome, Rika finds herself in a completely unfamiliar situation with no knowledge of how to proceed or what dangers lie ahead.

May 22, 2009Hanyuu informs Rika that returning to her original world requires locating and eliminating a specific artifact blocking Hanyuu’s entry. This obstruction also prevents Rika’s reincarnation, and if the artifact is human, she must kill them. Initially motivated by this goal, Rika assaults Satoko in response to bullying. However, her perspective shifts as she experiences maternal care and builds friendships with Mion, Rena, and Satoshi, eventually reconciling with Satoko. She begins weighing which world to inhabit until discovering that her mother, revealed to be the reincarnation of Oyashiro rather than Rika, is the very item she must dispose of.
