Time Regression

Time Regression (時間退行）is the first phenomenon caused by No.2 and the third phenomenon the members of the StuCS experience. This phenomenon was featured during the Kako Random arc.

Description
Random members of the club physically and mentally revert to younger age between the hours of 12 - 5 pm. As such, while reverted, the members will act in a manner appropriate to their respective ages and do not recall memories that only their older selves would know of, though they do retain a degree of knowledge of their fellow club members. When the members return to their original ages, their memories from their younger ages will still be clear to them. Initially, only Taichi remains completely immune to the phenomenon. However, after Taichi reveals the existence of No.2 to the other members, the 12 - 5 pm time frame and Taichi's immunity were disregarded, allowing the phenomenon to affect all members at random times throughout the entire day, and possibly for the rest of their lives. The pheonomen was not as serious in the anime when compared to the novel. The basic necessities such as going to the washroom, finding food, heat, and money were not mentioned in the anime. Taichi even mentioned that they are in a life or death situation if some gets sick. Inaba was worried that if someone found out about they turning to kids. they might be taken to a research facility and studied.
