[Hiyori's eyebrows raise.]

So you do remember that far.

[As well he should. They were coming up on New Year's, the qualifiers were over, and the main competition was just about to start! Hiyori remembers all of this distinctly. But the two other people he's seen from home didn't remember SS at all, which only added to his vexation. Encountering someone who does remember comes as a relief.

Not that it solves any of their problems.]

It sounds awful to say, but I don't understand the point if it's not being broadcast. Someone must be getting their kicks somehow, right? But I'm not too adept at searching for hidden cameras, that's more Ibara's area of expertise. I guess we could always try, though? Two heads are better than one, so we might get somewhere if we form a team and work together! And then if we get Leo-kun and Rinne-senpai involved, it'll be a team of four! Though, between you and me, neither one of them seems remotely reliable, so I'd much rather have you as my teammate.

[Don't mind him while he casually reveals that he's already seen two familiar faces.]
