They had a movie night during which they watched films about ghosts. And obviously someone was impressed after watching that they couldn’t even fall asleep.
By the way, today is the anniversary of Kakagai 07/07 (Tanabata is a traditional Japanese holiday, also called the "festival of stars" or "star festival". According to legend, only on this day Orihime and Hikoboshi in love can meet after the girl's father separated them)

Adorable note by Sayuri Sasai, showing a Tanabata (star festival) celebration in old Edo.
They stress that Tanabata, and its tradition of writing wishes on tanzaku (paper strips) before tying those up on bamboo, spread among Edo commoners thanks to the terakoya (temple elementary school system) which increased literacy.
The boy is anxiously wishing for his handwriting to get better, and below him you can see how the classical rectangular tanzaku could also be shaped like notebook, abacus or writing brush, or watermelon or gourd - something popular among young students ^^
The street peddlers below offers Tanabata related goods such as bamboo stalks and the tanzaku papers. Besides them, a popular summer dish of somen (cold noodles) is eaten for good luck (the longer the noodle, the longer the life).

[ID: a digital illustration of Zeronos Altair Form and Nogami Airi sitting back-to-back in a bamboo forest. Zeronos is looking up while Airi is staring down into a cup of coffee held in both of her hands. scattered among the bamboo like tanzaku are Zeronos transformation cards. the drawing is mostly done in a limited palette of muted greens and blues, aside from the yellow, red and brighter green of the cards. /END ID]
