Medusa and four other students were gathered in a dark room when the Detective from his previous memories enters. Per usual, Medusa's name is not mentioned, but there's a different sound used to censor the name of one of the other students- The so-called god we all know as C.
It seems C has invited the detective to take part in a strange seance to replace a person who, allegedly, is an intelligent machine. Everyone else agrees, and the Machine is begrudgingly excused from the room. With that out of the way, Medusa explains the significance of the large magic circle he drew on the ground with purifying salt from memory, and asks the Detective to remember the lyrics of a song they must sing. The seance requires... A female medium. A sacrifice of sorts. The Magician offers herself, but the Aikido Master quickly volunteers instead. Just so the former can talk to the dead Artist.
A wonderful turn of events, it seems.
The Aikido Master exchanges a few parting words of encouragement to the Magician before taking her place in the center of the circle. Medusa instructs her to crouch down and rest her forehead on a stone marker. Then C and the Detective are told to put an iron cage over her so Medusa may cover it with a sheet... That is hiding a sickle? No, it's called a kama. What is it doing there when Medusa never mentioned its purpose?
The next step is for everyone to place a large wooden statue of a dog on top of everything, suspended by the cage. After that, Medusa asks everyone to exit the circle and stand at the corners of the room after telling the Aikido Master she mustn't speak another word from this point on. Medusa instructs the Detective and C to blow out the candles and darken the room...
The memory ends as the lights are extinguished.

That boy in white is definitely C. Medusa will have to question him when he gets the chance.
Something's off. Medusa doesn't remember everything he was thinking, but the ritual was being done incorrectly on purpose. For one, the magic circle looked different from what was in the book... And that kama shouldn't have been involved at all...
Why was he so happy about that girl's involvement? He vaguely remembers something about friends... Was he unable to befriend anyone until now? It seems unlikely...
