"Hey, I just thought of something. If the midnight channel shows us who's going to be thrown into the TV doesn't that mean we can rescue them just like you guys rescued me?" Yosuke asked.
"I think so, in that case we should keep an eye on the midnight channel. If anyone shows up we need to come back here." Yu said. "Alright Teddie?"
"Ok, but if you guys are going to do that you need to come in from the same place so I can meet you." Teddie said.
"The same place, you mean the TV at Junes?" Yosuke asked. "Alright, that shouldn't be a problem."
"Oh yeah, before you guys leave you should take these." Teddie said giving Yu and Yosuke glasses.
"What are these for?" Yosuke asked putting the glasses on. "Whoa, where did you find these Ted?"
"I made them." Teddie said. "They should let you see through the fog."
"That's a huge help, thanks Teddie." Yu said. "We'll stay in touch."
"Ok sensei." Teddie said just before Yu and Yosuke exited the TV.

"You guys came back." Chie said before sobbing.
"Chie, we…" Yosuke started to say before Chie threw the rope at him.
"You jerks, I hate you both." Chie said angrily running out of the store.
"We probably deserved that." Yosuke said. "I don't know about you, but I'm not feeling that good. I'll see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow Yosuke." Yu said calmly.

"Welcome back." Dojima said calmly.
"Thanks uncle." Yu said.
As Yu said that, an interview appeared on the TV depicting Yukiko in a kimono.
"So you're going to be the next manager for your family's inn?" the interviewer asked. "That certainly should get some attention, a high school manager."
"Well, I'm not sure." Yukiko said. "Right now I'm just helping out for my mother."
"I see, speaking of your mother what about the rumors that she's fallen ill?" the interviewer asked.
"What? No she's just tired." Yukiko said defensively.
"That guy doesn't know when to quit." Dojima said. "It's obvious she doesn't want to talk about that right now."
"You're right, actually I think I'm going to go to bed." Yu said.
"I see, alright then." Dojima said calmly.

"Morning Yu." Yosuke said.
"Morning Yosuke, are you alright?" Yu asked.
"Huh, oh yeah thanks man. I just needed some rest." Yosuke said. "Actually, I tried sticking my arm through the TV last night and it worked. It has to be related to having a persona."
"That makes sense, speaking of which about that promise we made Teddie. I think we should try and keep it." Yu said.
"Yeah, I agree." Yosuke said. "We're the only ones who can travel between this world and that one, so it has to be us."
As he said that, Yu and Yosuke shook hands before a mysterious voice spoke into Yu's mind.
Thou art I… And I art thou… Thou hast established a new bond… It brings thee closer to the truth… Thou shalt be blessed when creating Personas of the Magician Arcana…
"Oh yeah, we should head to class." Yosuke said. "Let's get going."
"Right behind you." Yu said calmly.

"Hey Chie, about yesterday…" Yosuke started to say.
"Never mind that, have you guys seen Yukiko yet today?" Chie asked.
"No, is everything alright?" Yu asked.
"I tried calling her last night but she didn't answer." Chie said nervously. "What if something bad happened?"
"Calm down Chie, have you tried calling her today?" Yosuke asked.
"Why do you think I'm so nervous, she isn't answering." Chie said. "Oh wait, maybe she's at the inn."
"That must be it, why don't you call and see if she's there." Yu suggested.
The moment Yu said that, Chie took out her phone and called the Amagi Inn.
"Hello, Yukiko?" Chie asked. "Oh never mind, I should probably let you get back to work."
"Is she alright?" Yosuke asked.
"Yeah, she's just working at the inn." Chie said.
"That's a relief." Yu said. "Oh yeah, it's supposed to rain again tonight right?"
"Yeah, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Yosuke asked.
"We should keep an eye on the midnight channel." Yu said.
"Huh, wait what are you guys talking about?" Chie asked. "Hold on, you're not thinking about going back there are you?"
"We may have to Chie." Yosuke said. "The important thing is just to keep an eye on the midnight channel."
"Alright shut your traps." Morooka said angrily while walking into the room. "We have a lot to cover today so I expect you to listen."
"We're not done talking about this Yosuke." Chie said quietly.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I'll see you guys tomorrow." Yu said calmly.
"See you partner." Yosuke said with a grin.
"Oh, good afternoon Yukiko." Yu said politely.
"Huh, oh thank you." Yukiko said. "I'm sorry I wasn't in class today, I had to help out at the inn."
"That's alright, oh I saw your interview yesterday." Yu said. "He was out of line acting like that."
"I suppose, though I am going to inherit the inn someday." Yukiko said.
"That might be true, but he went overboard with his questions." Yu said.
"I guess you're right, thanks." Yukiko said with a small smile.
"It's no problem." Yu said. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Hopefully, I might have to help out at the inn again." Yukiko said quietly.
"That makes sense, well it was nice to see you." Yu said.
"It was nice to see you too." Yukiko said calmly.

"Welcome back." Nanako said calmly.
"Thanks Nanako, is your dad working late today?" Yu asked.
"Uh-huh, he works late a lot." Nanako said quietly.
"Oh, well goodnight Nanako." Yu said.
"Goodnight." Nanako said before Yu walked up to his room.
"I feel bad for her, still I need to keep an eye on the midnight channel." Yu said glancing at his TV as a silhouette appeared on the screen. "Wait who is that? Maybe Yosuke knows, I'll ask him tomorrow."
(Yu and Yosuke have learned what's been happening to the people that get thrown into the TV and have a plan to prevent future deaths. Next chapter the identity of the person on the midnight channel will be revealed. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
