Referbacks

 * The Kotatsu Syndrome is an evolution of the Winter Cleaning, arising from the trial of Accelerator and the actions of R&C Occutlics - instigated by Anna Sprengel, which was occurring in the background during Touma's last encounter with Alice.
 * Touma recalls and was about to activate the GPS tracker that Kumokawa Seria slipped onto the Bologna Succubus.
