(In the school literature clubroom...) Monika: "Alright, that concludes today's club meeting!" Sayori: "Thanks for leading us, Monika!" Natsuki: "Yeah, thanks for all the fun activities, Monika." Yuri: "I enjoyed discussing the book with everyone today. Thank you, Monika." Monika: "Of course, I'm always happy to facilitate our discussions and help everyone explore their love for literature. See you all next time!" (As each of the girls leave for their houses, a mysterious figure watches them from afar.) ???: "Those four must be working for the Sakura Empire...I should probably send someone to watch them. But who? Knowing Laffey, she'd probably end up falling asleep while watching them. I should head back to the Eagle Union base for now. But mark my words, Sakura Empire - the Crimson Axis WILL fall."
