(After School, Junes Food Court)
Everyone already gathering at Junes Food Court for discussion about Midnight Channel on yesterday
"So, about the Midnight Channel last night… That had to be Rise Kujikawa, it even showed her face this time" Yosuke said
"And the body figure…Hmhm" Jirayia said excite himself
"Shut up, Jirayia. We're not talking about that stuff" Tomoe told him annoyed
"What? Are you jealous about her because her body really beautiful? Don't worried Tomoe your body is nice and the good part of you is- *BAM Argh! You don't need kicked me like that! I just comment on you!" Jirayia yelled to Tomoe after she kicked on him
"We know one more thing now, the culprit targeting they're was broadcasted on TV" Souji said figure
"Exactly!" Yosuke said
"We can rule out the assumption that all the victims are connected to the incident with Mayumi Yamano now" Tsubaki said, everyone nodded it
"As for Rise, I took a peek this morning, and she was still at the shop, so I'm guessing that "TV show" thing doesn't appear on the Midnight Channel until after the persons enters the TV" Yosuke said to everyone
"Teddie said before that it might be the victim's own creation upon entering that world. I didn't understand at all at first, but now I feel it may be true" Yukiko said remember about Teddie's said
"Yeah, I thinking about that too" Konohana said agreed to Yukiko
"The one that appear on the TV is your other self and the victim's true feelings are shown unconsciously" Souji said
"Yes, I agreed about that" Izanagi said
"But… We see them on the Midnight Channel before they disappear. You know, when it's still really fuzzy and you can't tell who it is. How do you explain that part?" Chie asked confuse
"Yeah… It always happens before the person disappears, like an advance notice…" Yosuke said confuse too
"Or like ransom note. But who are they announcing it to? And for what?" Tomoe asked
"We're dunno, ask the killer" Jirayia told to Tomoe
"There's a bunch of stuff I still don't understand." Yosuke said
"Is it possible that we see those images for same reason?" Yukiko asked
"What do you mean?" Tsubaki asked
"If the Midnight Channel shows the victim's true feelings… maybe it does the same for the culprit, maybe what we're seeing is the culprit's intentions" Yukiko said suggestion
"That's possibility" Souji said agreed to Yukiko
"Yeah, the killer can throw people into the TV after all, which means they must have the same power that we do" Yosuke said
"So… When the killer thinks "I'm gonna attack someone now", that's what we see on TV?" Chie asked
"I don't know about that…" Yukiko said depression
"Yes… Sorry…" Konohana said apologize
"You don't need to apologize Konohana" Izanagi said to Konohana
"We're still need to figure out" Souji said
"Well, if we're gonna go that far with it. We might as well say that's the basis for that entire world" Yosuke said
"You mean, like some kind a mix of the minds of the victims and the killer?" Tsubaki said
"Or that's everyone's minds?" Alastor said
"I think so too" Souji said, and everyone suddenly depression
"*sigh As always, nothing makes sense" Chie said depression
"Hey Kanji-kun, you still with us? You haven't said a word yet" Chie asked Kanji who still silent all the time
"Yeah, and you too Take-kun" Tomoe asked Take same goes like Kanji
"Whaa…? Uh… Well, um…" Kanji cannot said anything
"You weren't sleeping, were you…?"Chie asked him annoyed
"O-Of course not! I was uh, lost in thought" Kanji said quickly to her
"But Take has sleep" Alastor said
"ZzZzZ…."
"What!?" Jirayia said shock and float to Take's face
"Oi! Take wake up!" *plak *plak Jirayia hit him on his face
"ZzZ…Hah?" Take suddenly half wake up
"Hah, you already wak- *SMACK GRAH!" Jirayia suddenly get smacked from Take use his right hand, and knock down on the floor
"Hm? Did I smacked someone?" Take asked when he already full wake up
"Yes, you did" Izanagi said and look on Jirayia still lie down on the floor
"O-OH! I sorry Jirayia-senpai! I thought you're mosquito!" Take said apologize
"This is fine, you don't need to apologize to him" Tomoe said
"Hahaha! You're still remember about that, like we're meet on the first time" Alastor said laugh
"Why I always get the suffering…." Jirayia said sad, everyone ignored Jirayia and continue their conversation
"*sigh I wish I knew what that world's all about. Teddie's explanations have so many "maybes" in them that I don't understand the first thing about it" Chie said depression
"Why would the culprit throw people inside the TV in the first place?" Yukiko asked
"They must know by now that people die when they're in there long enough… There's no doubt it's attempted murder" Yosuke said
"Yeah, the TV's good place for do that stuff, because the police unable to prove anything about the crime" Tsubaki said agreed to Yosuke
"Murder, huh? So the killers got a grudge against certain people?" Kanji asked
"*sigh Well, I know there's shitload of people who've got my number" Kanji said sighing himself
"Yeah! They're always said something bad to Oyabun!" Take said
"How' bout you Yukiko-senpai? Anyone hate you so bad they'd get rid of you forever?" Kanji asked
"No" Yukiko told him
"Uh, Yukiko… There's always a slight chance and you just don't realize it… Haha" Chie said to Yukiko kind a worried
"But if we're trying think of a common grudge someone would have against all the victims" Tomoe said
"Yeah, I'm drawing a blank" Chie said agreed to Tomoe
"The thing is, we have another shot at getting ahead of the killer" Souji said
"We can leave the culprit's motive leave side now" Izanagi said
"Yeah, once we catch 'em, we'll make' em talk" Jiraiyia said
"The only thing we can be sure of now is that Rise is in danger" Yosuke said
"Wait… We get to do another stakeout!?" Chie asked
"Hell yeah! This time we'll catch' em in the act!" Yosuke said and everyone agreed
"I hope not something bad happens on her…" Tsubaki thought himself worried
