DS Lab

The **Dark Science Research Encouragement Association** (DS研究奨励会, *DS Kenkyū Shōrei-kai*?), also known as **DS Lab** (DS研, *DS-ken*?) is an organization first introduced in File 8: Little Bird in a Box. They are a General Incorporated Foundation originally founded to explore the UBL (Ultra Blue Landscape) but later shifted focus on protecting the victims of the place and seeking ways to treat them.

## Background

Founded in the early nineties, the DS Lab originated as a study group inside a certain large electronics manufacturer. Their main goal is to research the unknown areas of science called *Dark Science* (which nowadays is called marginal science, trans-science, or non-traditional science). After discovering the UBL, their goal shifted more specifically to explore the unknown world named UBL or the Ultra Blue Landscape. However, not long after DS Lab began their research and expeditions, victims appear one after another. The organization then shifted its goal to protecting the victims and seeking ways to treat them instead. Even after losing their original purpose, DS Lab continues to exist, only maintaining status quo, through financial support from relatives of the victim, VIPs from companies involved in the founding of the DS Lab, and even members themselves. The organization still continues its research about the UBL, collecting UBL artifacts like the items they bought from Sorawo and Toriko.

## Surviving the Eight-Foot-Tall Lady I

**Surviving the Eight-Foot-Tall Lady I** (八尺様 サバイバル I, *Hasshaku-sama Sabaibaru I*?) is the third chapter of the Otherside Picnic manga adaptation.

## Summary

With Sorawo’s right eye turned blue and Toriko’s fingertips now transparent, likely due to the Kunekune, Toriko proposes they meet an acquaintance of hers that researches the Otherside’s various phenomena and also buys the peculiar objects from the Otherside. The two go to the house of a reclusive former university student named Kozakura. The solitary girl examines both of the girl’s affected areas and discloses to Sorawo that it was due to the Kunekune. Kozakura explains to them the “Fourth Kind,” a pattern of physical effects that result from contact from the Otherside.

Toriko remembers what had happened similarly to her friend, Satsuki and how she had also been a Fourth Kind contactee. Kozakura reveals her and Satsuki’s connection. Kozakura had initially been Satsuki’s companion and she had pulled Kozakura in to do “collaborative research” together. One day, Satsuki had gotten a lively assistant, who was Toriko. Toriko was taught by Satsuki about the Otherside and was going to accompany Satsuki on an expedition. However, around three months ago, Toriko was unable to get in touch with her. Toriko went alone to the Otherside several times in hopes of finding Satsuki there but was still unsuccessful. After going back and forth to the Otherside a number of times, she eventually meets Sorawo.

The group then hypothesizes what the Otherside is and then Toriko brings out the cube object dropped by the Kunekune. Kozakura studies the cube object and pays the pair 1,000,000 yen for the item. She then theorizes that the cube is Sorawo’s interface of recognition and that the point of view of the Kunekune is captured within the mirror rock, which is reflecting its surroundings except for the trio. Kozakura was unable to cure Sorawo’s eye and Toriko’s fingertips and the two soon leave.

Before going on their separate ways, Toriko splits the money between them, 500,000 yen each. Toriko thanks Sorawo for accompanying her to the Otherside and tells her they may find Satsuki more easily now that she has Sorawo. After Sorawo hears this, she feels that Toriko had grabbed her to look for Satsuki together since it had made searching for her convenient. Sorawo gets sullen and angry at Toriko. Three days later, at Tokyo Jinbouchou, Sorawo and Toriko head back into the Otherside once again. However, Sorawo is still mad at Toriko for telling her that three days ago.

## Station February IV

**Station February IV** (ステーション・フェブラリー IV, *Sutēshon Feburarī IV*?) is the tenth chapter of the Otherside Picnic manga adaptation.

## Summary

Inside of the tent, Sorawo pulls out her phone and shows it to Toriko. The signal fluctuates. Nevertheless, it can go through. Toriko suggests calling Kozakura. Luckily, she answers it, but a back and forth ensues between her and Toriko. Finally, the girls settle down, and Sorawo tells her how they landed on the Otherside. They tell Kozakura that they've run into the USFJ, the Palehorse Battalion.

Kozakura finds that weird and momentarily confuses them with the Darkhorse Battalion, a unit that tests next-generation equipment. But she can't find anything about the Palehorse Battalion, meaning they're likely a secret unit. Before Kozakura can suggest to the girls what to do, the signal falls. However, weird voices exclaiming how the girls "can't escape" and "must stay  *start coming out of Sorawo's mobile. Even more bizarre, it starts to tell the girls that a train is approaching, and then the phone cuts out.*

Sorawo looks to Toriko, who looks to be shaken up more than usual. Consequently, Sorawo suggests that for now, to worry about themselves, which Toriko does but is a bit reluctant to do so.

Lieutenant Drake walks into their tent, and he notices that the girls are shaken up. He points out that that is the reason the girls were told not to use their phones. Also, the Lieutenant tells them to not leave the tent, a battle is about to start, and Sorawo and Toriko would be safe if they stay inside the tent. With that, he goes. However, the girls don't follow his suggestion and leave the tent.

Outside, the soldiers are preparing for battle, and they're heavily armed. The girls climb on top of a truck to see what's happening. The darkness stretches out endlessly, with only the mountains' shadow dividing the night sky and grassy plains. No one is talking. Only the loud hum of the generator can be heard. However, Sorawo hears something else, music, festival music.

The sound is descending from the mountain, and the soldiers start to fire. They hit right in front of the trail, but it didn't hit the target, the Face Dogs.

Youichirou Migiwa

* Novel
* Manga

**Youichirou Migiwa** (汀 (みぎわ)  曜 (よう) 一 (いち) 郎 (ろう) , *Migiwa Yōichirō*?) is the current director of the organization DS Lab *(Dark Science Research Encouragement Association)*.

## Appearance

Migiwa is tall man with long arms and legs, a thin face with sunken cheeks, and his long, curly hair was neatly set in place. His arms are covered in Mayan text tattoos that he explained to be 'of youth discretion'. He always appears professional, often wearing an expensive-looking tailored three-piece suit.

## Personality

Migiwa is a friendly guy who would always speaks politely to other people. He carries himself in a mature way, making it hard to be certain of his age. He also is good at taking care of people, probably because of his job as director at DS Lab, who looks after the victims of the otherside. Granted that, he is more than what he looks, and seemingly has experience, and was actually more versed in violence when he had to. Sorawo Kamikoshi noted that he might not be a law-abiding citizen after all.

## Background

Not much is known of Migiwa before from his position as director of DS Lab, but he used to work with Torchlight Inc., a private military corporation. He joined DS Lab later on, and because of the funding received by the organization to continue its operations, he was able to live his life well to his preferences for a quite while.

## Etymology

* The name **Youichirou** means "weekday, sunday" (曜) (**you**), "one" (一) (**ichi**) and "son" (郎) (**rou**)
* Youichirou's surname **Migiwa** means "shore, water's edge" (汀).
Red Person

The Red Person is an indescript, tall (over seven feet), warm, red entity that appears at several points during Sorawo's life, encouraging her to commit murder-suicide with kerosene, and generally seems to be associated with flames. The Red Person is defeated by Toriko, using an axe, during File 15.

**Satsuki Uruma** (閏 (うる) 間 (ま)  冴 (さ) 月 (つき) , *Uruma Satsuki*?) is a missing friend to Kozakura and mentor/private tutor to Toriko Nishina.

## Appearance

Satsuki is described as a tall woman with pale skin, a long stark black hair, wears thick-rimmed glasses and has a nasty look in her eyes. When she appeared in  File 4: Time, Space, and a Middle-aged Man only as a trap made for Toriko and Sorawo, her eyes were incredibly blue.

## Personality

Satsuki is known to be charismatic and a "natural born alpha female", being able to charm everyone who came near her. She is noted to have a habit of treating people like tools, rather than as people, and when people ceased to be useful to her, she would lose interest in them. Her skills in seduction were not reduced upon vanishing into the Otherside, as shown in Volume 7, and Toriko notes that when Satsuki tempts someone, that person tends to become dizzy from her temptation.

## Background

Satsuki was originally Kozakura's friend, and were in the same class in university. Before she invited Kozakura to do a 'collaborative research' project with her, she had already known the existence of the Otherside. Satsuki had made contact with the DS Lab some years ago, claiming to have a safer way of going to and from the other world, bring back UBL artifacts with her. With her experience and knowledge of the Otherside, DS Lab invited her as a researcher. She was also recruiting promising individuals to expand her investigation of the Otherside. As part of this recruitment scheme, she would give "tests" to those she took an interest in, ranging from giving them cursed objects to see how they would handle them, to simply taking them directly to the Otherside.

Satsuki's disappearance continues to be a mystery as she was not the type of person to discuss future plans and all her research notes were encrypted by her back at DS Lab. In Volume 7, it is suggested that she had been "swallowed up by the Otherside, never to return".

## Abilities

Satsuki's incredible skill of seduction and charm seems to have been her greatest strength. It is unknown whether she was a Fourth Kind, or purely human, or perhaps she even became a phenomenon that merely took her name and shape. She seems to have the ability to selectively appear only to certain people, primarily Sorawo, and on one occasion, her reflection appeared in a Mirror Cube. She also exerted some kind of influence on Toriko in Volume 7, which nearly led to Toriko vanishing entirely. When she was summoned at her funeral in File 23, Sorawo observed her as a human-shaped hole leading to the Ultrablue, and looking directly at her caused Runa Urumi to fall unconscious.

## Surviving the Eight-Foot-Tall Lady II

**Surviving the Eight-Foot-Tall Lady II** (八尺様 サバイバル II, *Hasshaku-sama Sabaibaru II*?) is the fourth chapter of the Otherside Picnic manga adaptation.

## Summary

Toriko and Sorawo return to the Otherside to search for Satsuki. The times before, Toriko scoured the north and west sides, so this time they’ll head to an old building on the southwest side. It is to see if Satsuki had taken refuge there. On their way to the building, Toriko asks Sorawo if she is in a bad mood. Sorawo replies that Toriko’s resolve is only firm and that she hasn’t given a thought on how to go on about saving Satsuki. The blonde woman then notices Sorawo’s sulky tone of voice and calls her out on it. Just as Sorawo was about to reply to Toriko, they hear somebody say stop.

In front of them, they encounter an armed middle-aged man. He warns and saves the pair from an invisible barrier that evaporates anything that makes contact with it. He explains that these are “glitches,” spacial abnormalities that are not easily seen.
Though the ladies are thankful to the middle-aged man, in a state of panic, he mistakes Toriko for someone named Michiko. Toriko, however, snaps him out of his trance. The middle-aged man introduces himself as Abarato, and he has been searching for his wife in Otherside for thirty-eight days.

Abarato apparently lost his wife when he left her for a brief period of time in their small apartment. After consulting many people, a psychic informs him that his wife had been “Spirited Away.” This leads Abarato to research much folklore about disappearances involving being Spirited Away and through it found Otherside. When asked by Abarato about why the two ladies are there, Toriko discloses that looking for their friend Satsuki. Hearing this, Abarato becomes emotional, and Toriko sympathizes, which astonishes Sorawo. With their new acquaintance, they’re offered to be led to their destination by a safe route, which they accept.

Kunekune

* Anime
* Manga

The **Kunekune** (くねくね, *Kunekune*?), also known as **Wiggle-Waggle** or **Wiggle-Wiggle**, is a creature found on the Otherside. It was the first creature of the Otherside encountered by the protagonist, Sorawo Kamikoshi.

## Appearance

The Kunekune is a spindly and gangly creature with twisted arms and a hole in the center of its face. It was white, reminiscent of the color of smoke with an inscrutable shape, like a long shadow cast on the ground by the setting sun.

## Background

Looking at this creature causes an intensely sickening feeling. The person looking will have their mind go blank and their limbs to go numb. Despite the sickening feeling, its victim also experiences the feeling of wanting to look further into this entity. While in this condition, the Kunekune enters the perison's cognition and creates an interface for the contact between the human and the Kunekune. It almost killed Sorawo Kamikoshi on her third trip to the Otherside with Toriko Nishina.

Recognizing it in its true form allows it to manifest a physical form that can easily be defeated by throwing rock salt or shooting at it. When defeated, the Kunekune disappears, leaving only a silver hexahedron, or a mirror stone, that reflects everything except humans. Kozakura theorized that the mirror stone can be a person's cognitive interface in physical form and is reflecting the perspective of the Kunekune, which is trapped inside in some way.

## Lore

The Kunekune is a well-known ghost story that had started to be told primarily on the internet around 2003. The narrator encounters a white shadow that wriggles unnaturally, and looking at it messes with their head. In some other variations of the story, if a person touches the Kunekune or comes too close, the creature will kill them. If the person chose not to approach or make contact, it is said that the Kunekune will ignore them. The Kunekune is said to linger in widely extended rice fields or acres; in rare cases, it might be found over the open sea. Alleged sightings of the creature are sometimes associated with confusion to scarecrows, which can also be found in rice or barley fields.

Kasumi

**Kasumi** (霞 (かすみ) , *Kasumi*?) is a girl brought back by Sorawo and Toriko from the Otherside.

## Appearance

Kasumi is described as a child looking approximately five or six years old, with long black hair. She originally appears wearing a black one-piece, with messy hair, but after she is bathed by Kozakura and living at DS Research, she is seen wearing pink pajamas. She is described as having black eyes, and when asked her name, claims to be "not Michiko". No Otherside mutation has been described on her body, despite her curious abilities.

## Personality

Kasumi is somewhat wild at first, running from Sorawo and Toriko apparently as a result of living on her own in the Otherside for a long time and struggling to survive. She calms down once Sorawo sympathizes with her, and assists the girls in escaping the Otherside. When living at DS Research, Kasumi acts as a curious child, though she still doesn't talk much, and wanders into dangerous locations such as the DS Warehouse. She does show some understanding of human traditions and emotions, as she creates pillow forts, funeral offerings, and appears to be slowly learning how to speak normally.

## Background

Kasumi's background is largely unknown. She apparently claims to be an "interface" between the Otherside and humanity, although Sorawo concludes that she's a genuine human who was set up as an interface. Sorawo and Toriko encounter her in the deep Otherside's "sunset town" while searching for Abarato.

## Abilities

Kasumi possesses two main abilities - "shifting" and "conversation reading". She can move through different layers of reality at will - the Surface, the Interstitial Space, and the Otherside, though it seems that they must be passed through in order. This ability creates a very small, temporary gate, which can be used by Toriko to follow her across the layers. She also seems to possess some psychic ability, as she speaks only in "conversation fragments" from past conversations the people around her have had. She also calms down in apparent response to Sorawo sympathizing with her, and knows somehow that listening to Runa Urumi can be dangerous, suggesting some amount of more "classic" mind-reading.

## Etymology

* The name **Kasumi** means "mist" (霞) (**kasumi**).
Mayohiga

The Mayohiga is a fancy house in the Otherside, situated on a hill and surrounded by a large wall. Todate and Hana live in it, and admit it doesn't quite belong to them. The Mayohiga's legend stems from a traditional Japanese story, which states that you will receive good luck if you steal an item from a Mayohiga. The Mayohiga is adjacent to a dark and unknown path, which gives a forbidding air.

Sorawo and Toriko visit the Mayohiga in File 18.

## Synopsis

Sorawo was invited to a launch party by Toriko and says that Kozakura and Akari will also be there. When she arrives at the meeting place, she receives a phone call from Akari, who had gone to the restaurant to check the seats available. She said she got on the elevator but couldn't get to the restaurant she wanted. After Akari's inexplicable words and actions, the call is cut off.

## Station February I

**Station February I** (ステーション・フェブラリー I, *Sutēshon Feburarī I*?) is the seventh chapter of the Otherside Picnic manga adaptation.

## Summary

Sorawo and Toriko are at Shinjuku celebrating their second Otherside expedition at a restaurant. Toriko has quite an appetite and orders almost everything on the menu. But her friend reminds her that the last time she ordered that much, Toriko passed out halfway through, and then Sorawo had to eat it all by herself.

Toriko tells her friend the hat they brought back, the one from the Hasshaku-sama, she brought it to Kozakura's house. But Kozakura wouldn't buy it from her because it looked like an ordinary hat.

But it wasn't an ordinary hat because Sorawo points out that it had a silver shine to it. With that, Toriko notices that Sorawo's left-eye went back to normal. But the latter also points out that Toriko is even wearing gloves. It seems the encounter the girls had with Kunekune changed their bodies.

Their food arrives. The girls start to reminisce about Seiji Abarato and his AK-101 and how Toriko manages to hit in her bag. She has extensive knowledge about weapons, which makes Sorawo curious about her friend. Toriko explains that she learned to use a gun overseas but doesn't share any more details. Sorawo respects her friend's decision not to share anymore. However, Toriko thinks otherwise. Sorawo comes clean and says that she didn't know Toriko wouldn't be interested in getting to know her. But it's the opposite.

Toriko tells her that she will find out everything there's to know about Sorawo. They are enjoying their food when Suddenly Toriko asks Sorawo when she wants to go back to the Otherside. Sorawo is hesitant to go back, but Toriko has a goal, to find her missing friend, Satsuki. Despite the pair almost dying, Toriko still wants to go back, even though she's afraid.

Sorawo pays for the bill, and Toriko manages to get into a food coma. Suddenly the waiter tells them, 'this is kubiriyarai, so the aburagarasu will be coming.' Sorawo doesn't understand what he means, and the waiter walks away. She asks Toriko if she caught what the waiter just said, but she wasn't listening.

The girls leave the restaurant, but Sorawo has a weird feeling that something isn't right. Nevertheless, they walk to the station. Sorawo notices that the streets of Shinjuku are quiet despite it being 8 p.m.

Suddenly, a giant black bird flies overhead, and without realizing it, they find themselves in a field.

Hasshaku-sama

* Anime
* Manga

The **Hasshaku-sama** (八 (はっ) 尺 (しゃく) 様 (さま) , *Hasshakusama*?) is one of the creatures of the Otherside. She is a famous internet ghost story, just like the Kunekune. In the ghost story, she is described as a monster with a height of eight feet or about 240 centimeters and a female appearance that attacked young men.

## Appearance

She wears a long, pure white dress, and her long, black hair cascades down her back. To Sorawo's right eye, Hasshaku-sama appears as a warped frame-like construct of a torii outlined by a faint silver halo that emits a vivid blue light supported by two straight pillars with several horizontal bars intersecting it.

## Background

Being within proximity to Hasshaku-sama causes a strong feeling of nostalgia as she superimposes the image of someone close to its victim onto itself, luring them to come close enough and vanish to the blue light.

The Hasshaku-sama was defeated by Toriko holding the blue light with her translucent fingers and Sorawo looking at it with her right eye. Being able to recognize and touch the light in its true form, Sorawo was able to fire her Makarov on the light. Black orbs have erupted from the bullet hole and vanished without a trace. Hasshaku-sama shrank and faded, and the eruption of black orbs stopped. What was left of Hasshaku-sama is a wide-brimmed hat, which Toriko picked up afterward.

## Lore

Hasshaku-sama is an urban legend that originated as a ghost story on the anonymous Japanese posting board 2channel. The story involves the narrator returning to his grandparent’s house in the countryside, where he sees a woman over two meters tall wearing a wide-brimmed hat. Her story is one of the more popular urban legends to be created on 2chan, and her influence can be felt in many later stories that followed.

She targets young people and children in particular. Her clothes vary depending on the person who sees her, but she’s traditionally depicted as wearing a flowing white sundress and a wide-brimmed white hat. It is said that piles of salt and amulets can temporarily protect you from her.

## Wriggler Hunting II

**Wriggler Hunting II** (くねくね ハンティング II, *Kunekune Hantingu II*?) is the second chapter of the Otherside Picnic manga adaptation.

## Summary

A reluctant Sorawo follows Toriko back into the Otherside in order to hunt the Kunekune. As the two of them go back to where the Kunekune is, Toriko notes that she should have changed her clothes to be more befitting of where she is right now. The pair then talk about the origin of the Kunekune and also the Hasshaku-sama. While Sorawo was talking about the two creatures, the two come across a dead male, who apparently was a victim of the Kunekune. This man had translucent foreign matter growing from his face and it seems that he had thrust his fingertips into his eyes. While they were observing the dead body, a raw fish-like stench emerges.

The Kunekune appears, and Toriko tries to hit it with some rock salt. The rock salt hits the Kunekune, but nothing happens. When hitting the Kunekune with rock salt doesn't work, Toriko uses her gun instead. Toriko fires her gun at it and soon learns after several shots that it did not affect the Kunekune whatsoever, much to their dismay. Sorawo accidentally looks at the Kunekune once again. Hit by a powerful wave of dizziness, Sorawo falls to her knees and so does Toriko. Sorawo senses that the Kunekune is drawing closer to them. Sorawo and Toriko review their current situation when suddenly, Sorawo gains an idea on how to defeat the Kunekune. Sorawo deduces that if she keeps on looking at the Kunekune without averting her eyes, they might have a chance to defeat it.

Sorawo looks at the Kunekune and bizarre words flow out of her mouth. Sorawo tries to understand the Kunekune and successfully does so. Sorawo now recognizes the Kunekune and shouts out over and over again that she gets it. Suddenly, Toriko is in front of Sorawo, trying to get rid of the foreign matter in Sorawo’s face. Doing so causes Toriko’s fingers to be translucent. Toriko then tells her that she has gone too far in understanding it. Sorawo snaps out of it and tells Toriko that she must shoot the Kunekune. Toriko shoots and destroys the Kunekune, which disappears and turns into a hexahedron, similar to what they had seen before.

After defeating the Kunekune, Sorawo and Toriko are relieved of what happened and they scream in unison. Toriko picks up its remains and decides to have a celebratory party after what they had encountered today. After that, Sorawo and Toriko head back to their world.

そっと遠ざかるたった一人の空

夢見てたもの

小さい日の記憶の隙間に忘れてきたの

知らない感情

生まれたての鼓動をきいた

街を抜けて二人駆け出す

風のゆく方へ

寂しさ引き合う

湖の水面が揺れる静けさの中

透けて消えてしまうその手

繋ぎ止めた

がれきを越えどこまで行こう

君が望むのならば

終末の向こう側壊れた画面が映す

本当の空の色を誰も知らない

世界を見よう

鳥が高く舞い踊ってゆく

街を抜けて追いかけてゆく

君が笑うのならば何もいらない

どうか捜さないで

Sotto tozakaru tatta hitori no sora

Yumemiteta mono

Chiisai hi no kioku no sukima ni wasuretekita no

Shiranai kanjou

Umaretate no kodou wo kiita

Machi wo nukete futari kakedasu

Kaze no yuku hou e

Sabishisa hikiau

Mizuumi no suimen ga yureru shizukesa no naka

Sukete kieteshimau sono te

Tsunagitometa

Gareki wo koe doko made yukou

Kimi ga nozomu no naraba

Shuumatsu no mukougawa kowareta gamen ga utsusu

Sekai wo miyou

Tori ga takaku maiagatteyuku

Machi wo nukete oikaketeyuku

Kimi ga warau no naraba nanimo iranai

Douka sagasanaide

Softly fading, only one person's sky

A thing seen in a dream

Forgotten in the memory gap of small days

Unknown emotions

I heard a heartbeat being born

Starting to run through the city

Following the wind

Attracting loneliness

The surface of the lake shivers in the quiet

Transparent, disappearing, that hand

That I took

Wherever we would go through the debris

If you want it

Beyond the ending, a broken screen reflects

The color of the true sky that no one knows

Let's see the world

High up, the bird will dance

I'll chase it through the city

If you smile, I don't need anything else

Please don't go looking for us

* English

**Ms. Yozakura's Late-Night Livestream** (夜桜おねえさんの深夜配信, *Yozakura Onēsan no Shinya Haishin*?) is the first bonus side-story chapter written by Iori Miyazawa exclusively for the first volume of the Otherside Picnic manga adaptation.

## Summary

Kozakura, who was writing a research paper, decides she's done for the night and eats leftover pizza and microwaved cola for dinner. She then explains the reason she heats it up is because she needs a lot of sugar to keep going, but she's bad with fizzy drinks. In the summer, Kozakura would also heat up her cola then puts ice to cool it down.

She starts a stream on YouTube, where she became popular as a late-night VTuber. She made her 3D avatar by herself, and at first, it initially looked similar to her real appearance. But because it attracted the wrong crowd, she made a new one resembling her friend, Satsuki Uruma. The model is very tall compared to herself, so one time when she was drinking her hot cola during a stream, the motion tracking got confused, and it looked like she was drinking with her boobs, which became a meme among her fans.

She mentions being more angry than sad about Satsuki's disappearance because it's something she expected would eventually happen. Her viewers then tried to make her sing, then play a horror game, but she refused, and she played PUBG until morning. When she ends the stream and is about to go to sleep, Toriko Nishina knocks on her door.

As a VTuber she calls herself "big sister Yozakura," which is her name with the first kanji changed to "night."
