"Man, that thing looks straaaaange..." Shirako added immediately after Naomi, also giving it an odd look, though shrugged and continued to listen to his music.

"I'll admit, it is a little weird,' Mayuri admitted, "and perhaps slightly creepy, but...well, it was recommended to me on the net, and the charm is actually really quite nice."

"What do we have to do?" Quizzed Jinta, who was now fidgeting a little impatiently.

"In order to perform the ritual, at least two to ten participants are needed." Mayuri began as she counted the number of students in her head, momentarily pausing. "With the paper Sachiko doll in hand, everyone needs to gather around in a circle and each individual must grip firmly onto the proxy doll."

"Then you must invoke Sachiko by chanting the phrase in your head, "Sachiko, we beg of you", one time for each participant present plus once more for Sachiko herself. After chanting, everyone holding onto the paper doll pulls it apart, leaving each person with a paper doll scrap. It is suggested to keep this paper scrap on your person, such as putting it inside your student ID holder or wallet. Well, that's what the website I got it from said, anyway."

"What's the charm called?" Asked Jinta, genuinely curious about the name.

"It's called the "Sachiko Ever After" Charm. It's based on an old tale some 30-odd years ago, when a young schoolgirl named Sachiko died. I know that if we perform the charm right, we get Sachiko's blessing and we remains friends forever!" Mayuri couldn't help but smile at the thought. 

"Well, I guess we should give it a try... Personally, I've never been one for charms n' stuff, but if that's what your like us do I have no objections." Shrugged Jinta in reply, looking at the others for their response.
