tsumihoroboshi (atonement arc)

question arc: tatarigoroshi

pov character: keiichi & rena (swapping)

timeframe: june 1982

• pov keiichi: the club kids are gathered at the dam dump where rena confesses to a grave crime. announces that what follows is "the story of rena ryuugu doing her best"
• pov keiichi: the class is all joining in for a club activity of watergun fight during pe. somewhat dramatically, keiichi and rena resolve to fight against one another at the end. arc1's zombie tag is mentioned. culminates in rena and keiichi 1on1 to be continued stalemate tie that they keep wishing "could go on forever", mion lost
tips:

• Pleasant Weather
• pov rika?; describes the weather being great but unusual (skipped the rainy season, mentioned in several arcs). compares this "lucky" weather to the chances of rolling die, that rolling sixes twice in a row is rare
ch2

• rena picks keiichi up to go to okinomiya for their punishment game. shes close with keiichis mom from bumping into eachother at the grocery store, ergo she has dinner knowledge (arc1..?)
• keiichi asks about her parents, and she says theyre lovey dovey (but i swear there was a tip mention that renas mom was out of the picture...). shes cagey on the topic of her mom / keiichi ever visiting but keeps the conversation lighthearted
• the kids arrive at angel mort for its dessert event (arc2); the punishment game is for mion, satoko and rika to wear creepy costumes on waitress shifts. the dessert pervert (arc3, it sounds like the baseball game happened in this timeline too) and irie are present. this sucks
• they rematch yesterdays club activity with more members as an eating competition: rena wins
• pov swaps to rena mid-game with pink text; notes that similar to rena's "kyute mode", every time keiichi says to himself "you can do it, keiichi maebara" he speaks to himself aloud very goofy
• rena is very concerned about her happy days like this coming to a definitive close soon
• heading over to the restroom, rena bumps into a woman who calls her reina (arc1 tip); its rina (arc3: teppeis mistress). she buys shortcakes for rena and a man (presumably teppei)
• gives off the impression that rena secretly cannot stand rina
tips:

• Business Card
• seems like a business card of rinas that either has a flattering quote of hers, or someone has written upon asking her out on a date. shes the manager of the club the arc4 mahjong party wanted to go to; shes ambiguously either a strip club dancer or a sex worker
