Nanami was chatting with Ifurita at the Shinonome Diner again.

"There's something that I've never understood," Nanami asked. "Where exactly were you, while you waited ten thousand years for Makoto to find you?"

"I was adrift in a dimensional void," Ifurita said. "I was... nowhere."

"But everything-- and everyone-- has to be somewhere."

"Not true. I was in a protracted state of quantum indeterminacy. I was empty of inherent existence, but I existed in an undefined state of potentialities..."

Nanami sighed. "Don't try to explain it to me. You're getting nowhere, and I don't want to lead you back there."
