Stuck on 'Fancy Sushi' and 'Hitomi's Help'

[Raith]

These are the last two paths I have unlocked, but both dead-end. The one with the schoolgirls just says "and so... they tried a new location" then closes out, and the detectives path ends when they go to the alley and encounter lady and private investigator.

Not certain what I'm supposed to do to advance here...

//THE SOLUTION//
You have to end with the 'and then' scene where the schoolgirls go to the high school, and then visit it with the detectives BEFORE visiting the alley.

Guah... I figured it out. That is some oblique design choices... but whatever.

But wait… what did you do
