"Huh, where am I? Is this Teddie's world, it doesn't feel right though." Teddie said looking at the fog all around him. "Oh yeah, that's right. Nana-chan she… I couldn't do anything; I don't deserve to go back."

"That isn't true dad, Teddie has to come back." Nanako said.

"Teddie's upset, he feels like he failed to rescue you and that it's all his fault. All we can do is give him time." Dojima said.

"Ok, but we have to make sure Teddie comes back. He shouldn't be upset like that." Nanako said.

"I'm sure he'll be back at some point, he just needs some time to feel sad just like anybody else." Dojima said as the screen transitioned to the outside of Namatame's hospital room.

"Ok." Nanako said thoughtfully.

"So what are we missing exactly?" Yosuke asked.

"To be honest there's been something that's been bothering me as well." Naoto said thoughtfully. "Namatame was already interrogated regarding the death of Mayumi Yamano and he had no motive for the crime."

"What about insanity, isn't that a reason he could have killed her?" Chie asked.

"No, Namatame was judged to be perfectly sane during the interrogation. There's no reason to believe he would have been otherwise during the time of Mayumi Yamano's death." Naoto said.

"Well are you sure he wasn't just pretending to be sane?" Rise asked.

"Huh, what are you guys doing? You aren't allowed to be here." the game Adachi said while walking up with police officers.

"My apologies, we were just making sure the suspect was under observation. Had something happened if would have been detrimental to the Inaba police, and you as well Adachi-san." Naoto said quickly.

"Oh, I see well thanks." the game Adachi said while rubbing the back of his head. "Though we'll handle it from here."

"Excuse me, you need to come with me immediately." a nurse said running up to the group.

"What do you think's going on dad?" Nanako asked.

"I'm not sure, but we're about to find out." Dojima said as the Investigation team followed the nurse and the screen transitioned to the game Nanako's hospital room.

"Oh there they are." the doctor said calmly. "Nanako-chan came around."

"Huh, what did you say?" Chie asked in shock.

"Nanako-chan's alive?" Yukiko asked.

"Dad, is that what the doctor means?" Nanako asked. "The me in the game got better?"

"Apparently, but I have no idea how. I'm not going to complain about it though." Dojima said thoughtfully.

"You're really telling the truth, I mean this isn't a joke?" Yosuke asked.

"It's very rare to be resuscitated after one's heart and lungs fail, but it does happen." the doctor explained. "Still until we know why she collapsed in the first place we won't know how well she'll recover from here. That said, Nanako-chan is a fighter and she's trying desperately to stay alive."

"If we can find Teddie I'm sure he'll be glad to hear that." Dojima said.

"Yeah, you're right dad." Nanako said happily.

"I can't believe it I…" Rise started to say before sobbing into her hands.

"Miracles do happen, I'm so glad." Naoto said quietly.

"You all have had a long night and it's getting cold, you should all head home. If anything develops I'll let you know." the doctor said calmly.

"Right, thanks." Yosuke said before the screen transitioned to the shopping district.

"Do you think that road helped Teddie go home while everybody went after you dad?" Nanako asked.

"I'm not sure, if it did we'll be able to find him though." Dojima said calmly.

"Dang it Ted, I told him to keep his phone charged." Yosuke said putting his phone back in his pocket.

"He probably just went home." Kanji said just as a snowflake fell on his shoulder.

"Is that, snow?" Yukiko asked in surprise. "I guess the doctor was right, it has been getting colder recently."

"With all this fog I almost didn't notice it." Rise said.

"Well we should head back ourselves, let's meet up tomorrow." Chie said.

"Right, see you Chie." Yosuke said as everyone except for him and Junes Dojima walked off. "I should head back myself, Ted's probably waiting for me anyway. See you later partner."

As Yosuke walked away Junes Dojima took out his cell phone and turned it back on before noticing he had missed messages.

"Look dad, everybody we made friends with was worried about what happened." Nanako said with a smile.

"Yeah, it just goes to show how taking the initiative to get to know someone can help." Dojima said. "Speaking of which though, it's getting late so we should think about saving and stopping for tonight."

"Really?" Nanako asked sadly. "We still don't know who the bad guy is though."

"You're right, but we'll be able to figure it out faster if we've gotten some rest first." Dojima said. "Plus I'll see if Adachi can stop by tomorrow and we'll finish up the game alright Nanako?"

"Ok. Do you think we'll be able to catch the real bad guy dad?" Nanako said before yawning.

"I'm sure we'll catch him, but it sounds like you're starting to fall asleep. Thinking about it I'm starting to get tired myself." Dojima said before saving the game. "Goodnight Nanako."

"Goodnight dad." Nanako said going to her room.

There's something about this that's been bothering me, I hope I'm wrong but right now that's the only thing that makes any sense, Dojima thought. I just don't see any reason they would have done it.

"How intriguing, it seems that this time events will play out quite differently than they ever have before." Igor said thoughtfully.

"It would appear so, however if events change as drastically as you think will our guest be able to overcome the coming trials?" Margaret asked.

"That is something we'll have to see for ourselves, we can offer assistance to our guest but his destiny ultimately lies in his own hands." Igor said. "Still, this will be quite the interesting year."

(Nanako and Dojima's decision to spare Namatame brought the Nanako in the game back to life. Next chapter they will learn the identity of the true culprit. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
