(Author's Note: In regards to the guest review, the point of this story is that Nanako and Dojima are seeing the future events through this game, it takes place before the real nephew arrives in Inaba. As for the gameplay, the opening sequence is fairly long, but once they get past that things should start speeding up.)

"Wait a second, someone murdered in town." Dojima said thoughtfully. "That sounds like a catastrophe to me."

"Really, wasn't that what Igor said?" Nanako asked.

"Yeah, we'd face a catastrophe." Dojima said. "If I'm right the mystery we need to solve is who killed her."

"Oh yeah almost forgot to introduce myself, I'm Yosuke Hanamura." the boy with the headphones said calmly. "So, are you getting used to Inaba yet?"

"I would hope so, we've lived here long enough." Dojima said selecting yes.

"That was quick." Yosuke said. "I actually moved here a while ago myself."

"Oh, that's right." Dojima said. "His father is the manager of Junes, I have a feeling we'll be going there quite a bit in this game."

"I hope so." Nanako said with a smile.

"Yosuke, you still owe me for my Trial of the Dragon." Chie said walking up to them. "I think he should treat us to grilled steak right Yukiko?"

"I'm sorry, I have to head back to help at the inn today." Yukiko said quietly.

"Oh yeah, Yukiko's family runs this cool inn." Chie said. "Maybe we can spend the night some time."

"Maybe, I'll see if my parents can get a room for you all." Yukiko said thoughtfully walking out of the classroom.

"Well that aside you're buying us steak Yosuke." Chie said.

"What are you talking about?" Yosuke asked in disbelief. "I can't afford three steaks."

"Then what will you do?" Chie asked.

"I don't have any other option, I'll treat you guys to some food from Junes." Yosuke said. "It's the best I can do."

"Oh fine, let's go." Chie said.

"Well, it sounds like we're heading to Junes." Dojima said.

"Yeah." Nanako said with a smile. "Everyday's great at your Junes."

"Well, I know it isn't much but consider this your unofficial welcome to Inaba." Yosuke said.

"Hope you enjoy it here." Chie said.

"Oh, excuse me for a minute." Yosuke said walking over to another table.

"Who's that dad?" Nanako asked.

"I think she's Saki Konishi. I didn't know she worked at Junes though." Dojima said calmly. "Looks like she wants to talk with us."

"You're the new transfer student aren't you?" Saki asked. "I'm Saki Konishi, it's nice to meet you."

"Saki-sempai is a year ahead of us." Chie explained.

"That's true, but I'm still a student." Saki said. "Anyway, if you ever need to talk just let me know."

After she said that, Junes Dojima nodded in agreement as Saki walked back to her own table.

"Anyway, have you heard about 'that' yet?" Chie asked.

"If you don't tell us what 'that' is how are we supposed to know what you're talking about?" Yosuke asked in annoyance.

"I'm talking about the midnight channel." Chie said. "You know, you stare at a TV at midnight on a rainy night and you'll see your soul mate."

"I've heard about that rumor, I guess it makes sense that you'd hear about it in high school." Dojima said.

"Are you serious, that has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard of Chie." Yosuke said. "I mean you can't really believe that works can you?"

"Fine, let's all see what happens tonight." Chie said. "That should prove it's real."

"Hold on, you mean you haven't even tried this yet?" Yosuke asked. "Man, this just keeps getting stupider."

"Look, we both know you've got nothing better to do so just try it." Chie said before the screen faded to black.

"The midnight channel, something tells me that's going to be more important than we think." Dojima said.

"Dad, who do you see when you look at the TV?" Nanako asked.

"Nobody, I've never watched the midnight channel." Dojima said. "Though if it is real we both know who would appear."

"Yeah." Nanako said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Oh, welcome back." the game Nanako said politely.

"I guess there's nothing left to do but see if the midnight channel is real." Dojima said calmly. "What do you think Nanako, will we see anyone?"

"Yeah, but who will it be?" Nanako asked.

"Only one way to find out." Dojima said. "Let's go see what's on."

"Ok." Nanako said just before a cutscene started depicting a silhouette of a frightened looking girl in front of two vending machines appeared.

"I am thou. Thou art I. Thou art the one, that opens the door." said a mysterious voice as Junes Dojima collapsed to his knees.

"Who was that?" Dojima asked. "It definitely wasn't Igor."

Suddenly Junes Dojima got back up and walked to the TV and placed his hand on the screen only for it to pass through followed by his head.

"Wow, people can reach go inside the TV?" Nanako asked.

"No, that's not possible." Dojima said in disbelief. "At least it shouldn't be possible."

As Dojima said that, Junes Dojima pulled himself out of the TV and crashed onto the table.

"Are you ok?" the game Nanako asked. "I heard a loud noise."

"Let's just apologize for waking you up Nanako, I don't think we can explain everything that just happened." Dojima said.

"Ok." Nanako said quietly. "Dad, if this is the future does that mean there's something in the TV?"

"I don't know, but I have a feeling we're going to find out soon." Dojima said.

"Excuse me." Chie said running under Junes Dojima's umbrella. "Sorry, I had my own umbrella, but I accidently broke it. Anyway, did you try it last night?"

"That's one way of putting it." Dojima said. "I wonder if they had similar experiences to ours."

"Actually, why don't we talk about it after class." Chie said. "I should give you some space."

"You aren't supposed to walk in the rain without an umbrella, you'll get sick." Nanako said.

"You're right." Dojima said calmly. "In that case we should walk with her."

(The midnight channel has been revealed to Dojima and Nanako, and the main character fell into his TV. Next chapter Junes Dojima will enter the TV world. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
