OFFICE HOURS
If you'd like to speak privately with the class Prefect, this is your chance. Despite her general attitude, it would appear she takes most responsibilities of her role quite seriously, and she holds regular meeting times for students to speak with her one-on-one. Even the ones she doesn't get along with particularly well.
Over the course of the game, office hours offerings might change slightly based on the week's events. Please see this post for the Cliff's Notes if you want a sense of the general atmosphere when privately contacting Nanami!
Week 0: Since the upper floors are still restricted while they're being remodeled, meetings this week will take place in the A/V room as noted on the locations page. It's a temporary headquarters at best, though it has been - however slightly - redecorated to give it an atmosphere of bougie opulence. She's brought in a plush upholstered chair from the reception area so she has a fancy seat, for example.
It seems the week didn't get off to exactly the start that the Prefect was expecting, either. Given the importance the school spelling bee has, based on her explanation, it probably doesn't come as a surprise that pulling that event off without a hitch is clearly occupying most of her time right now. You'll probably find her thumbing through the student handbook or flipping through pages on a clipboard, a growing pile of work to delegate to the Little Brothers piling up next to her.
Week 1: After the reveal of the secondary option for graduating, The Prefect seems more high-strung than normal. She's jittery and suspicious. Though still set up at the same times in the A/V room, students might catch her poking her head outside the door to check the hallway or scrutinizing the tutoring and study group sign-ups. If you enter her office hours unannounced, she will scream in terror.
It might be easier to coax her to leave the A/V room or mingle with the other students now that things have been fully revealed. Her attempts to change the rules back to exclude murder aside, she continues to pore over the curriculum when left to her own devices, as if the behavior of trying to pull off a successful semester is ingrained.
Week 3: Following her harrowing washing machine ordeal, Nanami has a severely sprained wrist and a newfound skittishness. She's back in the AV room, where she slept off her spin cycle adventures. The good or bad news: Her personality seems significantly less delightful since the last time you saw her.
After Tuesday, she will be relocating to the locked room on the third floor for most of her free time, but you're likely still able to coax her out for public appearances or 1:1 private threads.
Week 4: Nanami is much more likely to be found out and about during the day. She hasn't completely shirked her responsibilities of being available to meet during regular hours, but instead of finding her in one fixed place
This might include the good old A/V room, but she can also be found lurking around her dorm quarters on the third floor. You may even be able to have your one-on-one conversation with her in there if you catch her at the right time. She is also available to be called down for meetings or explorations if asked, though she has less information from the Principal due to having mostly been removed from his circle.
Following the motive reveal, she's pale and jittery and always seems to have a piece of paper stuffed into her pocket.
Week 5: Nanami no longer has office hours, technically. She can be met with privately at any time a character would like to as long as they can find her (and we can handwave that your character can do that pretty easily). She'll pull you aside into the student council room on the fifth floor.

[ She smiles politely, but her question is prodding. It's better to be honest, right, Reika? ]
Okay, you can start by giving me your notes from math class. That's not a big deal, right?
no subject
[It has genuinely not occurred to Reika that any part of this might be something she should conceal.
Conversely, she's completely unsurprised by this request. Almost as if this isn't the first time she's been asked that. Or she noticed Prefect-senpai not entirely paying attention. Or both.]
I don't have my notes with me, but I can go get them.
no subject
And then, since you wanted to see me so badly, I'll make sure we have plenty of time afterward!
[ And she will be here, true to her word, if Reika chooses to go now.
Unless it's the end of her office hours. ]
no subject
[Reika goes now, and hurries back! Weird kidnapping and possible amnesia are one thing, but studying is serious business.]
no subject
[ She takes one sheet of notes and flips them a bit, front to back, only half-scanning them. ]
And, as promised, you have my undivided attention now!
[ While she is very much still looking at the notes. ]
no subject
After all the confusion yesterday, it seems clear that something is wrong with my memory. I want to understand better what I'm missing, and you're really the only one I can turn to for this.
no subject
Something's sure gone wrong, but maybe it's not just your memories. I already told you all; I really don't know what happened. Everything was perfectly fine!
no subject
[She'd ask about herself specifically, but this conversation definitely doesn't make it seem like they knew each other especially well.]
no subject
... Not that it wasn't anything I could handle! [ she says suddenly, preemptively defending herself from sounding insufficient. ]
But other than seeing you after you were first admitted, it's not like I was all that involved. I had so much on my mind, I barely remember anything about you except for your faces.
no subject
[Even if she wasn't especially close to most people, Reika's always at least had her family and Nao around.]
You really didn't have anyone else?
no subject
[ The Prefect doesn't give any particular indication whether she's particularly lonely or not, leaning on her elbow on the enormous stack of paperwork next to her. ]
I don't usually like getting my own hands dirty, but it's not like there's people I trust to work for me right now.
no subject
You say "right now..." are you expecting that to change?
no subject
[ She looks Reika up and down, the notes still clutched in her hand, and squints. ]
Are you volunteering? Do you think you have what it takes?
no subject
[Said in a tone that sounds suspiciously like "yes," since she has no particular reason to doubt it.]
no subject
You take notes for all of your classes, right? So it won't be a problem sharing them with me. But more than that - what about the other students? I can't be everywhere at once, can I?
no subject
You want me to watch over them for you?
no subject
The best person to keep an eye on them is someone else in the class, right?
no subject
no subject
no subject
[Mostly because Reika's like 90% sure it was actually the Prefect's idea, even if it does seem pretty in-character for her.]
So if you have my notes, and I'm also watching the other students for you, that will let you concentrate more fully on other tasks, won't it?
