She walks through the gate and looks at the scenery.
The buildings, despite being made of stone walls with metal roofs, look old and tattered enough to break down soon.
A lone wooden power pole juts from the ground, with a piece of paper nailed to it.
"What a miserable place..." She mutters as she sees a nearby person, wearing a dark grey cloak.
"Excuse me, sir?" She asks.
His head, judging by the cloak, turns toward her, but doesn't make a sound at all as he soon turns his head back to where it once was.
Feeling as though Monoe only wanted to get rid of her, she wonders if anyone can talk in this place.
As she sees another person when walking through the barracks, she approaches him and says, "Hi there!"
He turns around and, this time, lets out a noise similar to an ice cream truck song.
She suddenly whisks away to another area, this time a grassy area surrounded by trees.
She sees a house to the east and walks towards it.
As she touches the door knob, she hears something rub against the wall and hit the floor with a thud.
She opens the door to find the Grey Suited Man from before. he starts to walk towards her and, despite Madotsuki closing the door, follow her relentlessly.
"Who are you?!" She asks, freaked out at this point.
He reaches out a gray hand, once again it smells of rotting meat.
She closes her eyes as she feels a stinging pain in her head when he comes in contact with her forehead.
"Trust me, you'll visit 308 if you want to know something." He states before Madotsuki hears a whooshing sound, followed by seeing the area fade away to white.
The white area slowly turns dark and the whooshing still increases bit by bit as the seconds pass.
Eventually, the sound peaks and she quickly jolts awake.
Still in the chair in Masada's living room, she looks around to see if anything somehow changed.
Though everything seems normal, she feels something in her right pocket that she didn't notice before.
After reaching into her pocket for the unfamiliar object, she grabs it and removes it from her pocket.
Madotsuki's face displays a frightened look as she holds the coin from her dreams, with the "308" inscription and all.
She hops out of the chair and looks over to the kitchen clock.
"4:45pm? Oh boy..." She thinks as she walks toward Masada's bedroom door.
She knocks on it twice, but doesn't here anything.
After boldly deciding what to do, she opens the door slowly and quietly to find Masada is asleep on the bed, snoozing away silently.
She climbs up and whispers into his ear, "Sleep well, Sensei."
She kisses him softly on the cheek and hops off the bed to exit the room.
Feeling a little bit hungry, she stops by his fridge and opens the door.
Inside she sees some left over chicken, some soup from a diner, some wine, some milk,
and some of the "Home made fire cake" Monoko made.
She closes the fridge and opens the pantry. Madotsuki immediately starts drooling from all the food the guy has.
Chips, crackers, marshmellows, cans of beans, tortillas, dried noodles, hot sauce, blueberry bagels...
"Wow... Sensei sure knows how to eat." She says as she looks at everything.
She takes the box of crackers from the pantry and carries them with her to Masada's room.
As she walks through the doorway and climbs up the bed, she pops a cracker into her mouth as she watches Masada sleeping.
He starts waking up from the noises Madotsuki makes chewing the cracker.
"Madotsuki?" He asks, rubbing his eyes "Why are you in my room, and eating crackers on the bed?"
She shrugs as she hops off the bed.
He soon gets off the bed as well and follows her into the kitchen where she puts the box back in the pantry.
"Sensei?" She asks, "I saw this coin in a dream and found it in my pocket after waking up. I don't remember picking it up before I slept. What does this mean?"
He replies, "Maybe someone put it in your pocket when you were asleep? Though, that would be impossible, after I locked the door while you were asleep."
She asks, "I might have a stalker?"
He gives her a stern look and says, "Madotsuki, try not to think about it right now. I'm sure there is a logical reason for it."
She nods and hugs him goodbye. As she exits the apartment, Masada sits in a nearby chair and thinks,
"A coin she found in a dream that somehow carried over to the real world? Something doesn't sound right with that at all."
Madotsuki is walking down the hallway and comes across Monoe's room.
She opens the door and walks down the apartment hallway, where she sees Monoe playing Snake Eater and Poniko as a spectator on the couch.
"Not going to lie, Monoe, you're terrible at this game." Poniko comments as she watches Monoe die ingame.
"Excuse me for not playing Metal Gear Solid religiously since its debut." Monoe responds.
Poniko simply laughs as she grabs her drink from the nearby coffee table.
"Hey, Mado." Poniko greets just before belching.
"Poniko, your breath doesn't smell too bad..." Monoe says with her eye brow raised.
"You're not so bad yourself." Poniko replies, softly feeling Monoe's face with her hand.
"Stop it." Monoe sharply utters. Poniko, quick to learn, goes back to her side on the couch.
Madotsuki simply walks away into the sisters' bedroom and sees Monoko at the computer, playing Super C on an NES emulator.
"Hi Mado!" She happily says after pausing the game.
Madotsuki says, "I found a coin labeled '308, 8-18-2008' in my pocket after waking up from a dream. I think something is going on."
Monoko just stares at Madotsuki and says, "I can't help you with that."
Madotsuki sighs and says goodbye to Monoko.
She leaves the apartment and casually walks toward the stairs.
When Madotsuki goes up the stairs and reaches the fourth floor, she walks to her door. She opens the door and walks to her room.
"Urgh... I need to right this stuff down..." She mumbles.
She begins writing, "August 17th, 2008; I saw Sensei at the McDonalds today.
He was angry at someone and said some hurtful things, but the guy he talked to seemed like a pretty big jerk.
After we got back to Sensei's place, he let me have the rest of his chicken nuggets.
Monoko knocked on the door and came in to help with eating the chicken nuggets after telling him about deleting an email.
I took a long nap and woke up later with a weird coin in my pocket.
It read out as '308, 8-18-2008', like it's hinting to something happening tomorrow.
I'll find out about it soon enough."
She closes her journal and sits down on the floor to play some NASU.
As the opening theme starts, she presses the start button and begins playing.
After reaching a score of 317 and failing to catch the eggplant in time, she is greeted by the game over screen.
The time is now 5:34pm.
She turns off her old television set and famicom.
