"Do you think we'll be able to tell who it is this time dad?" Nanako asked, "
"I don't know, we'll just have to wait and see what happens." Dojima said as Junes Dojima walked over to look at his TV and the same silhouette appeared. "Alright, now I'm positive that was Kanji Tatsumi."
"Really, but you said he didn't make sense." Nanako said in confusion.
"I know, which means the culprit isn't going after girls. The question is what is his pattern?" Dojima asked.
Suddenly Junes Dojima's phone rang.
"Hey, did you see that?" Yosuke asked. "Who was that?"
"Looks like the game agrees with me." Dojima said as a menu popped up before selecting the option saying it was Kanji.
"Yeah I think so too." Yosuke said. "Man that guys one scary dude, he was even yelling at the camera to get bent."
"What does that mean dad?" Nanako asked.
"It means he didn't want to answer any questions or be interviewed." Dojima said.
"Oh yeah, not to mix words or anything but Chie or Yukiko, which ones your type?" Yosuke asked.
"Did he really just ask that?" Dojima asked in shock before a menu popped up. "Well Nanako, who do you think you'd want as a big sister?"
"I don't know, we don't know them yet." Nanako said.
"Yeah, you have a point." Dojima said. "In that case for now the answer is neither."
"Ok." Nanako said while Dojima selected the option.
"Yeah, I had a feeling you'd say that. After all you saw their bad side right away." Yosuke said. "Anyway, we should talk about this tomorrow."
"He's right, if Kanji is the next victim we should try and catch the culprit in the act." Dojima said calmly as the screen faded to black.

"That guy last night, it had to be him right?" Chie asked.
"Yeah, Kanji Tatsumi." Yosuke said in agreement.
"It's strange, he wasn't like that when he was younger." Yukiko said thoughtfully.
"Wait, you know him Yukiko?" Chie asked in shock.
"His family owns a local textile shop, my mother buys things from them for the inn." Yukiko said calmly.
"Oh, that makes sense." Chie said.
"Well we know one thing for sure, he hasn't been thrown in yet which means we might be able to protect him from the culprit." Yosuke said. "Let's head over there after school."
"Good idea." Yukiko said calmly.

"I'm sorry, that's all I can tell you about that." said an older woman
"I see, thank you for your time." said a slender looking boy in a blue outfit.
"I'm sorry I couldn't have been more helpful." the woman said.
"No you've been very helpful, you've given me plenty to think about." the boy said walking out of the shop.
"Oh, hello Yukiko. You look lovely today, even more like your mother." the woman said.
"Thank you, actually we were wondering if we could talk to your son for a few minutes." Yukiko said politely.
"Oh, he hasn't gotten home yet." Kanji's mother said. "You're more than welcome to wait though."
"That's alright, thank you very much." Yukiko said.
"Tell your mother I hope she feels better." Kanji's mother said kindly.
"I will, thank you." Yukiko said before the four of them walked out of the store.
"Hey, that's Kanji right there." Yosuke said. "Quick hide."
"Why are they hiding dad?" Nanako asked.
"They're probably watching to make sure that Kanji isn't going to get kidnapped." Dojima said before the screen shifted to show Junes Dojima, Yosuke, Chie, and Yukiko hiding in an alley while the boy from earlier was talking with a tall blonde boy.
"School, of course I'm going to school." the blonde boy said.
"I see, well in that case I'll see you after school then." the boy in blue said calmly.
"Sure, that's fine with me." the blonde boy said before the other boy walked away. "Wait so he's a guy, and I'm a guy, but he wants to see me."
"I see, well that's not something I was expecting this game to show." Dojima said calmly.
"What do you mean dad?" Nanako asked.
"I'll…" Dojima started to say.
"Huh, what are you punks looking at?" the blonde boy asked suddenly noticing the group.
"Oh crap, run." Yosuke said nervously before the group ran sprinted away from the blonde boy as the screen faded to black again.
"Oh man, my life just flashed before my eyes." Chie said nervously. "We could have died."
"Well at least we know where Kanji-kun will be tomorrow." Yukiko said. "That means we can keep an eye on him."
"Yeah, I agree. He's supposed to meet up with that other guy tomorrow so if we just wait at the school we can follow them without it looking suspicious." Yosuke said.
"Wait though, haven't all the victims been women?" Yukiko asked. "That would mean the culprit is going after Kanji's mother, not Kanji."
"Yeah, I thought of that too, we'll split up into two groups and keep on eye on them both." Yosuke said.
"That makes sense." Chie said. "Oh yeah, I need to head home."
"Yeah, we should do the same." Yosuke said. "See you guys tomorrow."
As Yosuke said that, the screen faded to black again.
"Do you think the bad guy is going to hurt that nice lady dad?" Nanako asked.
"I don't know, hopefully not but we'll have to wait and see what happens." Dojima said. "Still, if I had to guess the culprit is going to kidnap Kanji. He's the one who showed up on the midnight channel."
"Maybe, do you think the bad guy will try to throw them both in the TV?" Nanako asked.
"I don't know, if they both get thrown into the TV it would mean there's more than one bad guy. Right now we should hope that neither of them get thrown into the TV." Dojima said.
"I hope so." Nanako said quietly. "Oh yeah, should we tell your friend about the game?"
"My friend, oh you mean Adachi?" Dojima asked. "I don't see why not, I'll call him tomorrow and see if he has time to stop by."
"Ok." Nanako said happily.
(The person on the midnight channel has been revealed to be Kanji Tatsumi, but so far he hasn't been thrown into the TV. Next chapter Dojima will inform Adachi about the game and the three of them will arrive at the second dungeon. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
