Walking to school one day Tsubasa Hanekawa encounters a huge white tiger
apparition at a crossroads that talks to her. The next day her house
burns down. Homeless, and not wanting to stay with her family, she lies
and tells them she has a place to stay, but instead sleeps in the old
cram school. She's awakened by an angry and upset Hitagi Senjogahara who
ridicules her for worrying her and drags her to her place to stay
instead. The two of them soon discover that Araragi has gone missing and
has urged them in a text message not to look for him.
