After a failed attempt by Kamino clique members to trick and curry Mikoto's favour with a knockoff, Gaouin manages to find and return Mikoto's keyring to her.

Referbacks

• The Gekota strap that Mikoto lost was one that she acquired from the Handy Antenna pairing contest, the prize being recognized and recalled by Gaouin.
• The wheelchair that a despondent Mikoto was seated in is the same sort as Kuroko was previously in during the events of the Daihaseisai.
• Kouzaki expresses a dislike for vibrations, recalling Kuroko's countermeasure to her Liquid Shadow's echolocation from their fight.

Cultural References

• Gaouin refers to the artificial woods behind Tokiwadai as the Schwarzwald of Eternal Darkness (昼なお暗き黒い森（シュヴァルツヴァルト）, Hiruna o Kuraki Kuroi Mori (Shuvuarutsuvuaruto)^?). Schwarzwald is a German term, meaning 'black forest', and refers to forested mountain range in south-west Germany, bounded by the Rhine valley to the west and south, close to the French and Swiss borders, and source of the Danube and the Neckar.
