"A successful heist!"

They leap over a gap that appears in the floor. 

"Watch out for that hole!"

Skull stumbles as he sprints, tripping on the hole.

"Fuck!"

But he doesn't fall, and keeps going.

"Skull!"

Ann risks a glance backward. "Are you okay?"

"I'm good! Just gonna pay for it later!"

They can see the light of the gate drawing closer. 

Joker blocks a falling brick with her free arm and takes a nasty bruise, but keeps running. Almost there —

Mona makes it first across the drawbridge.

"Yes!"

Paladin runs across with Ann next!

Skull's panting, but makes it across.

Joker's last across, and that's everyone.

The world shimmers around them, and they're back in the alley, and in their school uniforms.

"Destination Deleted," the MetaNav chimes from their phones.

Joker looks down at the crown in her hands. It's turned into an Olympic gold medal. 

"Looks like we made it out." 

She stashes the medal quickly in her pack. "What time is it?"

Shiho pulls out her phone. "13:49. Lunch is already over."

"Shit. We'd be coming in late. What do we do? Cut or make excuses?"

"By almost an hour, too." Ann looks over at Joker. "Up to you."

"We went out to lunch together at a place near the school and completely lost track of time."

She adjusts her pack so the gold medal's deeper in its depths. "I don't like keeping this on me at school, but if I'm seen to have cut the principal will probably take the excuse to expel me."

She nods. "Okay. Let's do this."

Ryuji nods as well.

"I'll see you all after class."

Akira slips back into front and pastes on her trusty fake smile. 

I'll take this from here, Joker. You can't keep your mouth shut.

Alright. Good luck.

And Akira leads the group back toward the school together.

The halls are deserted. Everyone must be in class.

Kawakami gives Akira and Ann a Look when they come in, but doesn't otherwise say anything during that period.
