Watson attends Fujimizaka Middle School. On October 7, he is playing games with his friends and  at Success Academy when the guard tells them off. He decides to use a navigation app to return home, but it leads him into a winding direction that eventually crosses paths with a dog who attacks him. The next day, he heads to Kashinoki Books extremely disheveled, regaling his tale of woe to Haru Shinkai and Yuujin Oozora.
