Chiyo is working, and despite a few disruptions by Ganma, she's doing fine at her work. Riko's the one in school (university). There's some advantage to having Makoto's single-mindedness. Sometmes.

Riko is currently hoping that Chiyo will run with her family. Riko will join them if needs be. And deliberately not know about where they're going if she does't join them, so that the Ganma can't find out. Chiyo herself is really hoping for something that doesn't involve running or being sent to what her father says is a hell dimension.

Kanon, it occurs to me, could at least introduce Chiyo to Alain and ask him to talk about his world for a while. She'd present it to the others as a way to keep Alain off their backs for a while, but she also kind of hopes that Alain will bond with his daughter somehow.
