Naoto's P.O.V.
Those four high school students…
Yes, the ones I came across when I was at the textile shop.
I'm quite curious.
What business did they have with Kanji-kun's mother?
It's not every day you would see a group of high schoolers walk into a fabric store and have a small chat with the caretaker of the shop.
No, it seems illogical and suspicious, too suspicious I might add.
There's a good possible chance that they were up to something, leading me to believe that maybe, just maybe they were related to the murder cases that has been stirring around in Inaba, recently.
If so… it would be wise for me to keep a close eye on them, especially the one with the silver hair. Out of the whole bunch, he is the most mysterious and intriguing of them all.
For one thing, he didn't budge a single muscle from his spot when I walked past him and gave him a cold glare for butting into my investigation.
No.
He stood there and took my glare like it was nothing, no matter how intimidating it was. He just took it.
I must say, for someone who's quite quiet with a mysterious personality, he sure is calm, too calm.
I need to keep a close eye on him. That's what my instincts are telling me.
For whatever reason, he interests me more than Kanji-kun and the rest.
He was different.
As for his friends, I find them quite peculiar, especially those two with the brown hair.
Why were they stalking Kanji-kun and me? And for that matter, why were they doing a running gag with Kanji-kun all over the place?
Who knows?
Whatever the case was, that's not going to stop me from doing my job as the ace detective to keep a close eye on my suspects.
No matter how weird and strange they were.
A/N: So… how was it? Was it good? I hope it wasn't too OOC. If it was, then I apologize. As much as Naoto is my favorite character in the Persona series, it's still pretty hard to keep her in character. Anyway, did anyone took notice of the brief mention about the running gag I put it from episode 6? Yeah, I did that because that one scene was pretty funny and made my day. I hope you guys go watch it on YouTube. It's worth it. At any rate, please R & R! Thank you!
