Chiyo found Osaka alone in a classroom after school. "Miss Osaka?" asked Chiyo. "Why are you still here?"

"Sh!" Osaka said. "Listen, Chiyo-chan."

Chiyo blinked. "Um, I don't hear anything—"

"Listen real close," Osaka said. "It took me awhile to notice it."

"Hmm..." Chiyo frowned with the effort. "Oh... a faint electric humming sound?"

"Yeah!" Osaka said. "That's it!"

"Maybe it's the flourescent lights," Chiyo thought out loud. "I wonder why we never noticed it before?"

Tomo suddenly barged into the room. "HAY, GUYS!! What's goin' on!? MAN, it sure is QUIET in here!!"

Chiyo and Osaka sighed sadly together.
