#### **Plot**

Monophanie is seated in the first floor hallway of the school, staring off into space. Upon the arrival of Kokoro Mitsume, she stands up and warmly asks if she's new, to which the tired girl confirms. Monophanie explains that she's Hope's Peak's supervisor, despite not doing much. She does say that she can answer questions, prompting Kokoro to request a map of the area as she holds her iPad closer to her side and glances away. Monophanie assures her to not worry and that a map should've been provided with her school guide earlier. Thanking her stoically, Kokoro turns around to walk away.

Keiji Carliet walks up to the robot, exclaiming to still get lost despite memorizing the entire map. Kokoro stops in her tracks and blankly stares at Keiji without uttering a word. After exclaiming that the school isn't that big and that the students will get used to it eventually, Monophanie remembers to take care of something then and there. After running a code, she explains that they can call her now by dialing '321' instead of having to find her for help. Keiji thanks the pink and white robot with a hug, getting Monophanie to gush a little. She verbally sends them on their way, saying the students can't spend all their time standing around and talking to her. Just as Monophanie disappears from their sight, Keiji makes it known that he wishes he could as he enjoys doing so.

As he tries to walk away, he runs right into Kokoro nearly instantly. She doesn't fall or stumble, however. Right away, he apologizes to the unfazed Kokoro. She tries reassuring him that it's fine. Finding her subdued voice to be an indicator of her anger, Keiji panics and apologies harder. The psychologist tells him to calm down and then introduces herself to further ease him. He does the same, shaking her hand before noticing her purple iPad. She tells him not to get any funny ideas as it is important, to which Keiji assures her he wouldn't, knowing that they cost a lot of money. Kokoro says it holds a lot of important information she doesn't want to share with anybody else, something he must relate to, being a scientist and all.

Suspicious of her and bewildered, Keiji asks how he she possible knew his Ultimate. Kokoro elaborates that she had only guessed, having narrowed it down to only a few guesses. She claims to be surprised as well about guessing it correctly. She further explains that her talent isn't being a psychic, but rather a psychologist, showing off her astounding intuition once more. Toshi Yamamoto meekly walks into the hallway, trying his best to go unnoticed. Kokoro catches sight of him, thanks to his reflection upon her glasses lenses as she held them up and stared into them. Wanting to know how she knew what he had thought in his mind, Keiji asks and is told by Kokoro that she had merely assumed he was wondering that. Toshi heads into ???, unaware that he was spotted by the "mind reader". Keiji even assumes she is one, to which Kokoro says she isn't but that he can believe whatever he wants.

Deciding to now go locate the dorms, Kokoro offers him to come along if he still needs to find his. Keiji says that he does and agrees to follow her. Without looking up at all, the psychologist gets a move on, staring at her iPad all the while. Keiji follows her lead.
