A.N: So sorry for the delay!

Mitsuru called a scientist to try the experiment on dying, sickly children. No one approved since it would have been done on them with or without her permission, like the last scientist had and didn't bother to argue with her about.

Teddie stated that he could analyze the water since he was part shadow and it wouldn't be a risk to him.

Aigis nudged Nanako to say something and she did.

"Everyone...I need to face my true self."

Souji raised a finger but she stood her ground.

"I need dad to know what I've been going through, I need him to finally understand me."

"Like any parent, there will be that fear, the doubt, the hesitation to let his kid, especially his only child, to do-"

"If I could take out a whole biker gang myself without Kanji help-"

Kanji groaned as Souji wheeled on him. He had his arms crossed, his face void of emotion. Kanji was sweating bullets.

Kanji felt the weight of their stares pierce him. He looked down but furrowed his brow then stared straight at Souji.

"A- A week after you left Inaba, she came to shop pretending to buy a doll from me when really she wanted to learn how to fight, to defend herself. At first I was against it but then she convinced me because of what happened between her and Namatame. That and she was always home alone, ya know?" He said carefully.

Souji's face softened then turned to the rest of his team.

"Is there anything else to inform me about?"

"S-She wanted to learn how to make ordinary house items into tools to help her should she be home alone. I taught her science, how to get evidence and read people."

"This explains how she would always take me down when we sparred..." Ken whispered.

"No I just went easy on you." Nanako said sternly.

"I even built her gadgets among other things to help her. Say if she got into trouble, I would be on her watch radio and be able to help her as soon as I get there."

"I taught her how to take a hit. How to exercise properly without pulling anything, how to stretch and how to dish it out. Wu-tah!" Chie said before blushing and remembering the serious situation and finishing with a "heh-heh" and a head scratch while blushing.

"I've got nothing to teach her, partner." Yosuke said hands out, with an innocent look.

"If I had time, I would have taught her how to sing." Rise said, using Nanako as a shield by hugging her from behind.

Souji was about to say more before his stomach made a grumbling noise. Yosuke almost laughed.

"I suggest we get lunch." Aigis stated.

They had ridden out with cars Mitsuru called.

They were downtown, they had a buffet of places to choose from.

They eventually ended up at the inn where they told Yukiko everything that had happened.

"Instense." Was all she after a gasp.

Chie told her that they needed her should something else happen like the previous injuries, she was the team healer after all. Yukiko nodded.

"Then you're going to have to work overtime to make up for lost time or Mitsuru-sempai is going to need to buy out the inn." Chie said jokingly.

Mitsuru handed Mrs. Amagi the check and the mother fainted.

"Should I move her next to Mrs. Tatsumi?" Mitsuru asked Yukiko who was at her waist crying thanking her.

"You know we stayed here once for a trip." Fuuka told the others as Mitsuru led Nanako away. Souji, thankfully helped Mrs. Amagi to a bed.

"Aigis told me everything. I want to join too." She told the heiress.

"Its good to see that you learned your lesson from what she told you but this is the last time we're going to address this. Are you prepared to not come home? To make your...father...worry? To put your life in jeopardy? To never see another sunrise?"

She thought Maiko, Souji, his friends, Ken and his friends. Mom. Dad.

"You've read the news enough to know that this mist isn't natural. It's similar to the one that almost consumed your town years ago. The only difference is that, that one wasn't lethal until a few months of being around and this has toxins in it. Once enough time passes, I assume that people will drop like flies and all because we lacked the manpower to stop this."

Nanako's eyes were glistening with fear but she focused on the gun on the older woman's holster.

She grabbed the gun from Mitsuru's side.

She heard a faint voice on the other end as she put it to her throat.
