"Edge?"
"Thank goodness, you're finally here!"
"Hurry over! We should go in. We'll definitely crack the clue Halliday left this time. We've just figured out what it means, and we're sure we're right!"
"Come on!"
"Don't ask yet. A-Shu and Minrou are about to lose their patience!"

"You're all here early, huh?"
"But wait a minute!"
"We're still missing someone. Let's wait for her a little longer!"
Seeing that all his friends were there, Edge let out a sigh of relief. But when he looked around and realized a certain little one was still missing, he hurriedly stopped the others from going in and asked them to wait a while longer.

"???"
"Waiting for someone? Who?"
"Looks like all our friends are here..."
"Yeah, Edge, who are we waiting for?"
"Annie!!"
"!!"
"Ha! I knew you were waiting for her! But don't you think we should all go wait for her in the library lobby? You know we're all famous names near the top of the scoreboard now. It wouldn't be great if someone with bad intentions saw us all gathered here."
"Especially those despicable IOI people!"
Artemis glanced at the crowds streaming past in the distance, then at their own group standing out conspicuously in front of the library. Deciding that waiting around here was a bad idea, she waved everyone toward the library entrance. She planned to wait for their friend in the lobby
