A Traitor Among Us...?

**A Traitor Among Us...?** (Japanese title TBA, *Romaji title TBA*) is a stage in *World's End Club*.

## Optional Dialogue

Pai: Vanilla reveals she had nothing to do with Pai forgetting the mastermind's identity after the Game of Fate. She still has more information to share, but she's not sure it's the right time.

Yuki: Yuki explains that Hyper Amygdaclear is a more potent version of Amygdaclear that can recover humans' natural ability to perceive objects in the spirit realm that normally goes away with age.

Kansai: Kansai wonders about the identity of the traitor Pielope had mentioned, but Vanilla suggests to Reycho that they should be more concerned with the threat that MAIK and Pielope pose.

Aniki: Aniki, Pai, Nyoro, and Mowchan discuss the powers Tattsun and Aniki had awakened on the train ride. Aniki notes that unlike superheroes who fight on their own, everyone's powers seem to work only when they need to help each other.

Chuko: Chuko talks about her power's main weakness: not having Karamucho at hand.

Mowchan: Mowchan tries to tell Reycho discreetly that he was responsible for Chuko not having any Karamucho earlier, but Chuko overhears.

Vanilla:

Vanilla recalls the events just after her death: she reappeared in her room and kept going to school, unable to accept that she was dead. She was happy just being around everyone again, but as she came to terms with her situation, the loneliness of not being able to communicate hurt. She confesses that Pai, Pochi and Reycho being able to see her was a big part of how she kept her sanity.

Being a ghost, Vanilla wasn't brainwashed for the Game of Fate. She theorizes that the brainwashing might have been responsible for everyone developing their powers. There was also a section of the Undersea Theme Park that was inaccessible to her, even with her ghost powers.

Vanilla reveals her reasons for going to Osaka: she wanted to meet with a member of an anti-MAIK resistance group who could perceive ghosts. The information about MAIK she shared earlier in the day came from this group.

Tattsun: Tattsun, Kansai, Jennu, and Chuko discuss and admire Tattsun's transformation.

Jennu: Jennu shares a saying from the Hosekizuka Theater Troupe: "The biggest sin in this world is to take advantage of human emotions". She declares she'll never forgive MAIK for kidnapping them and messing with humanity.

Nyoro: Nyoro wonders if Vanilla's death increased her aptitude for programming, allowing her to set up the Game of Fate.

Pochi: Pochi and Nyoro have finished fixing the train's brakes. Nyoro praises Pochi's mechanical engineering skills.

## Summary

Vanilla leaves the group to take a walk. Mowchan voices his concern for Aniki's injuries, but the latter says he's fine. He reveals that he briefly heard Vanilla arguing with Pielope earlier, and apologizes to the Go-Getters Club for doubting them and taking out his conflicted feelings on them. Aniki reminisces about Vanilla telling him she'd always be around to take care of him, and confesses that he blames himself for her death. He then resolves to find the Hyper Amygdaclear and speak with his sister again.

Now that the train car has been fixed, Pochi sets their next destination to Nagoya, and offers to drive through the night. Pai and Reycho leave camp to find Vanilla, who voices her suspicion that one of the members of the Go-Getters Club is MAIK's co-conspirator and the "traitor" that Pielope had mentioned.
