Date: April 17:
You yawned softly as you woke up. You felt… better today. After all of the information you'd gathered so far, you were really starting to feel like you could make a difference and talking to Igor had really made you feel better; even though, he didn't really provide you with much information on the case. He said he'd be an asset to helping you in the case and you wondered exactly how. Izanagi seemed to be a great help to you as well… Your persona...
Since you'd gotten up early this morning, you took a chance to go over all that you'd learned thus far with Izanagi.
1.) There's a killer throwing people into the TV world.
2.) It's not the killer that kills them, it's their shadow; their suppressed feelings, that comes out of them.
3.) When the fog clears in 'Teddie's' world, then the fog appears in 'our' world. This is when the shadows get violent and attack whoever may be in there.
4.) When the person dies, their body returns to this world in an unusual fashion, like the way they were hanging upside down.
5.) The first victim was Mayumi Yamano; a TV reporter who had an affair with the council secretary Taro Namatame. Her appearances were canceled she ended up staying at the Amagi Inn to 'escape the media', before she was found dead shortly after. A lot had happened before then though. The council secretary's wife; Misuzu Hiiragi spoke out on the affair and was the only one who DIDN'T suffer from it. Taro Namatame was fired and had to return here to Inaba and Mayumi had to go into hiding, but Misuzu Hiiragi continued to sing.
6.) The second victim was Saki Konishi, a third year at Yasogami High. She worked at Junes against her family's wishes… she was Yosuke's senpai… She was also the one who discovered the body; Mayumi's body.
"Do you think the murderer is the council secretary? After all, he lost his job and everything over the scandal." Izanagi pointed out.
"No, I mean, it wasn't Ms. Yamano who spoke out on the affair, it was Misuzu Hiiragi; if he was bitter over getting fired, then he'd want to kill his wife." You said.
"True, but you suspected that girl yesterday."
"I didn't suspect her! I just said it was possible!"
"It's also possible for the council secretary…"
"Shut up Izanagi!"
"Wasn't it you who wanted to talk about this?"
"Ugh, whatever. Maybe it was Misuzu Hiiragi? I mean, maybe she wanted revenge?"
"Why? She was the only one that didn't have problems. She's more famous now then she ever was thanks to the media broadcasting the scandal"
"Good point…"
"Looks like we'll need to find some more evidence."
"Yeah…" You said as you started to get dressed, before you paused. "W-wait! Can you… see me?"
"….Yes?" He replied.
"T-then you can see me getting dressed?!" Izanagi sweat dropped.
"I'm YOU, so it's not like I haven't see you before."
"T-that's so creepy!"
"Just get dressed. You're going to be late for school."
"D-don't look!"
"How am I supposed to not look? I'm you!"
"Fine I'll close my eyes!" Izanagi sighed.
After getting dressed, with your eyes closed, you walked down the steps and into the kitchen.
"Good morning-" Dojima started before raised an eyebrow. "Did you get up late or something?" You blinked.
"No, why?" You asked him.
"Your… shirt is on backwards…" Dojima answered and Nanako giggled.
"Were you THAT sleepy?" Nanako asked you. Izanagi snickered. You blushed lightly.
"O-oops, heh, I guess so." You said chuckling. Dojima chuckled and took his lunch from Nanako and left the house.
You pouted fixing your shirt and sitting down to eat breakfast with Nanako.
"I'm going to go to a friend's house after school today!" She said happily.
"Oh yeah?" You questioned with a smile. "A boy or girl?"
"A girl! We have to do a project together."
"What kinda project?"
"It has to do with the solar system. We have to make all of the planets revolving around the sun!"
"That's cool~!" You said and she giggled.
"Yeah! Ours is gonna be the best!"
"I'm sure it will!"
After eating breakfast with Nanako, you grabbed your lunch and jacket and left the house. It wasn't raining today, so you didn't need your umbrella, thankfully. After parting with Nanako, you continued on your way. As you approached 'Yosuke's trashcans' you heard his squeaky bike approaching you.
"Yo!" He greeted. "You saw what was on last night, right? I couldn't tell who it was, but if someone's shown on TV, we can't ignore it. Let's go check it out after school. Maybe Teddie can tell us something. If it turns out someone was thrown in again, there really might be a culprit behind all this. Even if it is something about that place that's killing the victims… If someone's using that world as a weapon, that's unforgivable. We need to find the culprit… no matter what it takes! There's no way the police can do it… Who'd believe that the murderer kills people by throwing them into the TV?" Yosuke did have a point.
"Yeah, we definitely got this." You said smiling.
"Hehe… Cool. It's reassuring to hear someone else say it. You know, I tried sticking my head inside the TV last night, the way you did, and it actually worked! I think I can do that now because I have the same power… Persona, wasn't it? Could be that we got this gift from someone specifically so we could solve this case. Then again, you managed to go inside the TV and get your Persona first… I feel like, as long as you're with me, I can find the culprit and crack this case… Well, let's do our best!" Yosuke said grinning. You smiled a bit, glad that he seemed to be trying to move on from what had happened the day before. Even if Yosuke acted like an idiot sometimes, he really was a strong person at heart. You blinked rapidly as you heard voices in your head.
"Thou art I… and I am thou…"
"Thou hast established a new bond…"
"It brings thee closer to the truth…"
"Thou shalt be blessed with creating personas of the Magician Arcana…" As you formed a bond with Yosuke, you feel the power in your heart strengthening… You recalled Igor's words.
"The Persona ability is the power to control one's own heart… And the heart is strengthened through bonds. As you form bonds by becoming involved with others, your own Social Links will gradually develop. The power of these Social Links is what will determine your Persona's abilities." He said. 'Social Links… Is this bond with Yosuke what Igor was talking about…?' You wondered.
"Hm… seems like you're at the beginning of a very… interesting relationship with Yosuke…" Izanagi said.
"H-huh? What's that supposed to mean?!" You asked and he chuckled.
"[Y/N], helllooooo," Yosuke said waving a hand in front of your face knocking you out of your thoughts.
"H-huh?" You asked looking up at him. He raised an eyebrow.
"I said let's go, we're gonna be late." He said and you nodded.
"O-oh, yeah, let's go." You said smiling and he smiled back. The two of you continued onto school as Yosuke walked with his bike at his side.
"I thought your bike was broken?" You questioned curiously.
"Heh, yeah it is, but I got up late today." He said. You raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean? We're early today…" You said. Yosuke blushed lightly.
"O-oh yeah? Maybe my clock's a little fast, hehe…" He said. Izanagi sweat dropped.
"Hm… well come on let's go." You said and he nodded following after you.
When you arrived in the classroom, you saw that Yukiko wasn't there again. 'Hm… she said she'd be here…' You thought.
"Well didn't she sorta look like the girl on the Midnight Channel?" Izanagi asked.
"Well… maybe." You said. You and Yosuke sat down in your selected seats and chatted among yourselves for a moment before Chie burst into the room and ran over to you.
You glanced over at Chie, preparing to run away if she decided to kick you in the face.
"Uh… Chie!" Yosuke started seeing the frantic teen. "Um… About yesterday… We're sorry we worried you…"
"WE…" You said frowning.
"Oh-never mind that. Is Yukiko still not here?" Chie said.
"Huh? Y-Yukiko-san? Uh… no…? At least, I haven't seen her today." Yosuke responded.
"I spoke to her last night and she said she'd see me in school today…" You said.
"Oh man… What should I do…? Hey, is that stuff you were talking about for real? You know… All that about how people showing up on the Midnight Channel is related to that other world." Chie said worriedly.
"Oh, we were just talking about that. We're thinking of checking it out later-" Yosuke stated.
"The person on TV yesterday… I think it was Yukiko. That kimono looks like the one she wears at the inn, a-and she wore it during the interview a few days ago too. I got worried, so I emailed her last night, but she hasn't responded… I called her earlier in the evening, though, and she said she'd be at school today… I-I…" Chie said worriedly.
"Ha! Who's a genius god? This god!" Izanagi said grinning.
"Shut up Izanagi, this is not the time for that, plus we don't know if it's really Yukiko…" You grumbled.
"Calm down we get the picture. And you still haven't heard from her?" Yosuke asked taking charge for once.
"No…" Chie said her worry only growing. You and Yosuke shared a glance before explaining to Chie all that had happened yesterday inside of the TV.
"What's that supposed to mean…? Wait, are you saying… Yukiko was thrown in there!?" Chie asked.
"We don't know yet for sure. We should check to see if she's safe first. Give her another call." Yosuke suggested.
"Yeah, maybe she's just late this morning…?" You said attempting to ease her worries. Chie nodded as she dialed Yukiko's number shakily and listened to it ring.
"No good… Her voicemail picked up… She's not answering…" Chie said worriedly. Yosuke looked at you worriedly.
"Are you serious…? Then is Yukiko-san inside that place…?" Yosuke asked.
"Jus-S-Stop it! Something must've come up, like an errand or something…Oh, or she might be helping at the inn… She wouldn't be able to answer her cell if that's it…" Chie said and the two of you shared worried glances.
"Yeah, but would she skip school for that?" Yosuke asked.
"Well… She's missed school the last few days to help out in the inn. Try calling the inn." You suggested.
"Y-yeah, I'll give the inn a call… Umm… I've got the number here somewhere… C'mon, Yukiko… Pick up…" Chie said desperately. "Oh! Is this Yukiko?!... Thank God she's there!"
"You're welcome." Izanagi said.
"Not you!" You said to him.
"h-huh… Uh-huh, I see… Hm? Oh. Nah, it was nothing. I'll text you again later…" Chie said hanging up the phone and returning her attention to you and Yosuke. "She was over at the inn. She said they had a big group reservation and she had to help out. Yeah… Now that I think about it, this has happened before, too. At least once a year. She said she'll be at the inn tomorrow, too. Oh, for crying out loud, Yosuke! You got me worried over nothing! She was totally fine! And you were all "Is Yukiko-san inside that place…?" Hmph…" You rolled your eyes. 'Wasn't SHE the one that overreacted when she first came in?' You thought.
"All women are like that…" Izanagi commented.
"I am not!"
"Look, overreacting!"
"You're ME, so you're a woman too!"
"… Touché…"
"S-Sorry… But there is a reason we thought that." Yosuke said and you nodded.
"Oh yeah…? What?" Chie asked crossing her arms over her chest as she waited for a response.
"Well, we thought people showed up on the Midnight Channel, because they're already in the other world." He said. I mean, it makes sense, right? People show up on the TV because they're inside the TV… But Yukiko-san's still here, in our world. We might want to see what this is about. Alright, let's meet up at Junes after school." The three of you nodded as class started soon after.
Lunchtime came quickly, as usual, and you sat in the classroom with Yosuke and Chie, as usual. You took out your lunch and Chie cringed.
"N-Nanako-chan didn't make that did she?" Chie asked you.
"She sure did!" You exclaimed not wanting to share your food. You happily dug in and Chie made a face before pouting.
"Liar!" She said reaching for it. "You owe me for yesterday!"
"I do not! Yosuke-kun does!" You said.
"Me?! Aw, come on!" He said pouting. Chie paused leaning half on you and half on the desk as she sniffed the air. You blinked raising an eyebrow.
"I-Is that steak, Yosuke?!" She demanded looking at the boy. His eyes widened.
"N-No!" He lied trying to eat it all before she could get it.
"Aw, come on! Share with me!" She practically begged. "I forgot my lunch at home!"
"Tch, fine." He said giving it to her and she practically swallowed it in one bite.
"[Y/N] can I-" Yosuke started.
"Nope, it has tofu in it." You said and he groaned.
"Dammit, Chie!" He said glaring at her.
"Sorry~" she said.
"Why don't you just buy something from the cafeteria, Yosuke-kun?" You suggested. Yosuke pouted.
"It's closed!" He said over dramatically. You sighed.
"Alright, alright, you can share with me. Just make sure you pick out the tofu." You said and he grinned.
"Okay, thanks! You're the best." Yosuke said scooting over next to you.
"Can I-" Chie started.
"NO!" You and Yosuke said.
School flew by and you were granted with your first homework assignment today. Of course Mooroka HAD to make it really long. You sighed as You walked to Junes with Yosuke and Chie.
"Man who the hell assigns so much homework on a Saturday?" You grumbled as you walked toward the electronics section.
"Only King Moron…" Chie answered as you stepped toward the same TV you used before.
"Hey, what if someone wants to buy this TV? What do we do then?" You asked curiously. "I mean, if we put a TV in it's place, does it not matter, or is it different for every TV?" The two blinked.
"Huh… Good question…" Yosuke said. "But this is just a display unit, so it won't be sold unless we run out of TV's and that's not going to happen."
"Hm… I guess you're right. No use in thinking about it." You said shrugging.
"So… explain to me again what happened… I'm not really sure I understood everything with the whole… Yukiko disappearing thing…" Chie said. You nodded explaining to her once again what had taken place yesterday.
"O-Okay, I think that's more than enough about my sorry escapades." Yosuke said and you chuckled.
"If I hadn't seen the place first hand… I'd never have believed a story like that." Chie said shaking her head.
"Yeah, no kidding. Anyways, we need to know what's going on inside." Yosuke said.
"Wh-How? By talking to that Teddie guy?" Chie asked.
"Yeah. Too bad there's so many customers around… I forgot there's a sale in the electronics department today… I got it! C'mere a sec. Try sticking your hand in and calling him over. I bet that bear's wandering around the entrance anyway. Hey Chie, stand over here. Make a wall with me."
"A wall?" Chie asked.
"Wait, I have to talk to Teddie? Why you have power now too…" You grumbled before sighing. You jumped feeling something bite you. You quickly pulled your hand out of the TV.
"O-ow!"
"Wh-What's wrong!?" Yosuke asked worried examining your finger.
"Shhh! Not so loud, you idiot!" Chie scolded him. "D-Dude, is that a bite mark!? Are you okay!?"
"I-I think so…" You muttered.
"That's good… Sheesh, that stupid bear must've done it… Hey, you! We know you're in there!" Chie said frowning.
"Ooh ooh, is this a game?" Teddie asked excitedly.
"No, it's not a game! Can you sense anyone inside there right now?" Yosuke asked him.
"Who's "anyone"? I'm a lonely little bear like always." Teddie insisted. "This land feels so bear-ren…" The three of you sweat dropped.
"Shut it!" Chie scolded him. "So there's no one inside…? You're sure?"
"I-I'm not lying! My nose is running as good as ever!" Teddie said.
"I'm gonna go warn Yukiko anyway. Since she'll be busy this weekend helping out at the inn, I doubt she'd go anywhere alone, but still…" Chie said a bit worriedly.
"Yeah… You'll walk with her to school on Monday, right?" Yosuke questioned.
"Sure, I'll go pick her up at her house." Chie said nodding.
"Maybe we'll find out more on tonight's Midnight Channel. Cross your fingers that this is all just a misunderstanding…" Yosuke said and you nodded. "What's your cell number? I'll call you when I watch it tonight."
"Ohh, you want her cell number, huh?" Chie said nudging him.
"Wha- just for the Midnight Channel, jeez!" He said frowning, but you could see the blush on his cheeks.
"Suuuure," Chie said and Izangi snickered. "Oh, I want your number too!" You rolled your eyes.
"Sure," you said exchanging numbers with the two of them. Yosuke cleared his throat after exchanging numbers with you.
"He didn't ask Chie for HER number~" Izanagi teased.
"H-he probably already has it!" You reasoned.
"I seriously doubt that."
"Just shut up!"
"Alright, don't forget to watch tonight." He said changing the subject.
"Well, I'm gonna go warn Yukiko, I'll see you guys later." Chie said and you nodded waving to her as she ran off.
"Yeah, I better get to work…" Yosuke grumbled irritably.
"Okay, I need to get some stuff for dinner anyway."
"Oh yeah? Wait for me and I'll give you the employee discount I get." He said running off to get changed. You sighed before going to look for something to have.
"Hm… breakfast food sounds nice…" You muttered.
"Breakfast for dinner is so unethical." Izanagi said.
"It's just food."
"If it was just food, then it wouldn't be called BREAKFAST food. It'd be called food."
"That doesn't matter! You can have breakfast food whenever you want."
"It's for breakfast, not for dinner. Buy dinner foods."
"Oh yeah? Like what?"
"How should I know? I don't have to eat."
"Well you're the one advising me on what to eat and you don't even eat!"
"I was simply telling you it was unethical to eat breakfast food for dinner. It's meant for breakfast, that's why it's called breakfast food." Izanagi said. You groaned slamming the food down in frustration.
"Having some trouble choosing?" Yosuke asked chuckling.
"H-huh? No, I'm just fighting with Izanagi…" You grumbled. It was nice to able to talk to Yosuke about it, now that he can relate.
"You can talk to yours too? Well I guess you can, huh?" He said. "About what?"
"He says breakfast food for dinner in unethical."
"How? It's just food right?"
"That's what I said!" The two of you laughed.
"Why not just call Nanako-chan and ask her what she wants?" He suggested. You blinked.
"Oh yeah, good idea!" You said. "Wait! I don't have the house number saved in my phone!" You groaned and sighed. "Plus she's at a friend's house today and probably won't even BE home for dinner…" You sighed. "I give up. I'll just eat ramen…" Yosuke laughed at you.
"Why don't you just eat dinner with me and my family?" He suggested. You blinked.
"Is that… really okay? I wouldn't want to impose or anything."
"Na, it's fine. They won't mind; I'm sure." He said
"Well… okay then, sure I'll go. Thanks for inviting me Yosuke-kun."
"Ah, it's no problem." He said draping and arm over your shoulder. "What are friends for, right?"
After getting suckered into helping Yosuke with his work, you met up with his father at his office.
"Hey dad is it cool if I have a friend over for dinner?" Yosuke asked him through the door. You sweat dropped. 'He's asking after inviting me…?' You thought.
"Yeah sure, tell him to wait by my car. I'll be out in a minute." He answered.
"Hear that, [Y/N]? Come on let's g-" He started before the door was opened.
"[Y/N]? That's a girls name." His father said opening the door to peer down at you. You blinked raising an eyebrow. His father patted Yosuke's back.
"Good going Yosuke~ and just when I was starting to think you were gay!" He said and you sweat dropped. Yosuke cheeks flushed.
"W-what?! No! I-It's not like that. We're just friends." Yosuke clarified and his father sighed.
"Yeah, too good to be true I guess." He said walked off. You sweat dropped and Izanagi seemed to have laughed the entire time.
"H-hey! What's that supposed to mean?" Yosuke asked pouting as the two of you followed him out to his car.
Yosuke's house wasn't too far away from Junes, so it wasn't a long ride. It was mostly silent, since Yosuke was too embarrassed to talk to you after what his father said and his father seemed to be too busy talking on the phone. As you walked toward the house Yosuke finally decided to speak to you.
"Uh, so that homework for King Moron, did you look at it yet?" He asked. You shook your head.
"No, but I'm sure I'll do fine. I took notes in class today." You said. "It's just… a lot." Yosuke nodded.
"I uh… fell asleep…" He said.
"Yeah, I know. Chie took pictures of you drooling on your desk." You said.
"Wha- seriously?!"
"Uh-huh. She said something like 'that's what he gets for sleeping in class~'" You said attempting to mimic Chie laughing. Yosuke groaned just as the door was thrown open and a woman ran over to you.
"Ah! You must be, [Y/N]-chan, right?" She asked.
"Oh, um, yes." You replied.
"Ah! It's soooooo nice to meet you. Oh, you ARE adorable. Ya know, when I heard Yosuke-kun was having a girl coming over for dinner I almost thought he was kidding or you'd be some creepy looking thing, but you're not!" She said hugging you tightly.
"T-thank you… I think?" You said as she crushed you.
"S-seriously mom!" Yosuke said blushing brightly, seriously regretting suggesting you come over.
After she released you, she ushered you inside, along with Yosuke.
"Sooooo~ how did it happen?" She asked and you raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, they're not a couple." His father spoke up as he sat down at the table. His mother's smile faded.
"R-really?!" She said disappointed. "Why not?"
"C-come on mom seriously!" Yosuke said. "I-It's not like that, okay? We're just friends."
"Just friends for now or…" She pressed. Yosuke sighed.
"Dad!" Yosuke said trying to get him to reason with her. You chuckled softly.
"Alright, alright, let's just eat." His father said as he started eating and the others followed suit. You smiled slightly. His family seemed rather nice.
"Are you two in the same class?" His mother asked and you nodded.
"Yeah, we are." You said and she smiled.
"Well that's nice." She said and you nodded. "Do you spend a lot of time together?"
"Mom!" Yosuke said frowning.
"Well, I just arrived not too long ago, but I've spent just about everyday with him since I arrived." You admitted.
"Oh, so you're the transfer student! Yosuke's spoken about you, but I didn't know you were a girl!" She said excitedly. Yosuke groaned.
"I just mentioned her it's not like we had a conversation…" He said. You chuckled softly finishing your dinner shortly after everyone else. His mother chuckled and smiled.
"Yosuke-kun, could you go into the kitchen and get the dessert please?" She requested and he nodded leaving the room. Suddenly the atmosphere became very serious between his parents and you raised an eyebrow.
"[Y/N]-chan…" His mother started. "I'm glad that Yosuke-kun met you…" Your eyes widened.
"Yosuke may think we don't pay attention to him, but we do." His father said. "We've known about his… infatuation with Saki for quite some time." You blinked wondering just where exactly this was going.
"It's not that we didn't like Saki, because we did!" His mother clarified. "But… we just didn't think she was right for our son." His father nodded.
"Then, you arrived and it seemed like his attention shifted to you more so than her, even before her passing." He said. "And, personally, you seem like a much better fit for our son than she did."
"When she passed away, I thought he'd never get over it, but when he came home yesterday… He seemed so much happier. When I asked him what he did, he said 'I hung out with [Y/N]'." she said chuckling. You smiled slightly. It wasn't really YOU who made him feel better, it was that other world that helped him better understand what had happened to Saki and how he was able to better understand himself, but if it weren't for you he'd never know those things.
"I'm not trying to convince you to commit to our son, I promise!" His mother insisted. "I just… wanted you to know that we're really grateful to you."
"Yosuke's always resented me for making him come out here to the country and have to deal with criticism from the town's people, but I do want him to be happy and you seem to provide that comfort and happiness." He said.
"All we're asking is… please take care of our son." His mother told you smiling. You smiled slightly and nodded.
"I will, don't worry." You said and they smiled back as Yosuke came in with the pie and you happily ate it with his family.
After you ate, you were about to leave, when Yosuke's mother insisted he walk you home. You walked home with Yosuke as you looked up at the sky. It was rather dark out and this was the first time you'd taken the time to gaze up at the moon and the stars. Yosuke raised an eyebrow following your gaze.
"If you look at it over the riverbank you can see the moon reflecting off of the river." He said. You smiled looking over at him.
"R-really?" You asked. "Let's go see!" You ran off toward the riverbank, Yosuke chasing after you.
"H-hey, wait up!" He said. You smiled when you finally arrived at the riverbank with Yosuke and you gazed at the reflection of the moon on the river adoringly.
"Wow… It's so pretty…" You said.
"Heh… yeah…" He said watching you for a moment. You sat down on the pier and looked out across the water and Yosuke sat beside you.
"Thanks for telling me about this Yosuke-kun," you said. "I never would've considered looking here on my own." He smiled.
"Heh, it's no problem. I come here sometimes to clear my head. I like it here. It's always really quiet and peacefully." You nodded glancing over at him.
"Yeah… it is…" You said. Yosuke looked over at you as your eyes met for a short moment.
"[y/n]..." He started before you cell phone rang. You glanced down picking it up.
"O-oh it's Ojisama!" You said answering it. "Hello?"
"Hey, it's late. You know it's dangerous out there right now. Where are you?" He asked you.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Yosuke-kun invited me to have dinner with his family. I'm actually on my way home now." You replied.
"Alright, just be careful." He advised before hanging up. You hung up placing your phone back in your pocket.
"Well… I should get going…" You said. "See you later Yosuke-kun." He nodded.
"Y-yeah… See you later…" He replied. "Oh! Don't forget to watch tonight."
"Don't worry, I wont." You said running off toward your house.
Once inside, you were greeted by Dojima who was sitting on the couch.
"I'm sorry, but I have a lot of homework, so I'm going to go upstairs." You said and Dojima nodded.
"Alright, don't stay up too late." He said and you nodded. You went up to your room and got started on your homework.
After finishing all of the work Morooka gave you, it was almost midnight. You walked over to the TV watching the clock that rested on top of it. When the clock struck midnight, you saw an image start to appear. It was perfectly clear and it was definitely Yukiko! But something was off… She was staying stuff like 'scoring herself a hot stud' and talking about her 'lacy unmentionables.'
"…." You started as you watched.
"Yukiko is secretly a hoe." Izanagi joked.
"That is not funny!" You said. You were taken from your thoughts as your cell phone began to ring. You check it, seeing that it was Yosuke.
"Hello," you started.
"H-hey, did you see that?!" Yosuke asked surprised. "That was Yukiko-san for sure! It looked like her, and I mean, she even said her name! But didn't the stuff she was saying sound weird!? And she looked like she was on some low-budget TV show… Was it like this before, too? What's going on…?"
"Let's calm down. Do you have Yukiko's number?" You said.
"O-oh yeah maybe she can- crap no I don't!" He said. "Oh yeah I can just call Chie! Tomorrow's Sunday, so let's meet up at Junes first thing in the morning!" He said.
"Yeah, okay see you then." You said hanging up.
"What if Yukiko IS in there?!" You thought.
"It'd prove I was right." Izanagi said.
"This isn't about who was right and who was wrong, Izanagi!"
"Yeah, yeah, you're right. Don't worry, if she IS in there, we'll save her, just like we saved Yosuke."
"R-right, you're right." You sighed, a bit stressed. You quickly changed you clothes and got into bed, trying to fall asleep.
