Yosuke blasted away the last Shadow with Jiraiya's wind spells.
"I think that's it for now." Teddie said. "I don't sense any other active Shadows on the floor."
Yosuke wiped his brow. He and Kyoko had been fighting Shadows non-stop, on their way to find Chie. Honestly? He found the experience to be pretty exhilarating, albeit exhausting.
"Man, this feels like we've been at it for forever." He said. "How you holding up, Kyoko?"
Kyoko merely put away her knife and brushed her hair behind her shoulder.
"I'm fine, Yosuke."
Yosuke breathed out and leaned against the wall.
"Hey, Ted. Can you sense Chie yet? Or uh, smell her?"
Teddie put his nose up, where it twitched as he sniffed the air. You could almost see a loading bar above his head, which was completed.
"Ah! Yeah! I found her!"
Both Yosuke and Kyoko looked up at that, as Teddie began to run off. They quickly followed him down the halls. The lack of Shadows made it a lot less tedious, but they couldn't help but feel constricted in the castle's huge halls.
Eventually, they came to a stop at a huge set of double doors.
"Is this it, Ted?"
"Mmhm!" Teddie said. "I defiantly smell her!"
"Yosuke, we should probably proceed with caution." Kyoko told her friend.
"Yeah, I know." Yosuke said.
"You'll watch my back?" She asked, putting her hands on one of the doors.
"We've got each others." He replied with a thumbs-up.
They pushed back the two doors, which creaked open. The room inside was like a huge circular ballroom, lit up by a chandelier on the ceiling. Standing in the middle was...
"Chie!"
The blond girl had their back to them as they ran up.
"Yo! Are you alright?" Yosuke asked her. "...hey, Chie?"
Chie didn't respond. It seemed as if she didn't hear Yosuke.
"Chie." Kyoko asked. "Is something wro-"
She said red looks good on me...
Yukiko's voice echoed throughout the room, and Yosuke looked around.
"Yukiko-san?" Yosuke realized. "That was her voice just now..."
Kyoko put her hand on her chin in thought. "Wait... this is just like back then..."
I hated my name... Yukiko... "Snow"... Snow is cold and it melts quickly... It's transient... worthless... But it's perfect for me... Apart from inheriting the inn, I'm worthless... Still... Chie told me that red looks good on me.
"Are these... Yukiko-san's inner thoughts? I remember hearing Saki-senpai's, too..." Yosuke noted.
"Yeah." Teddie said. "This castle is probably here because of this Yukiko person."
"Yukiko..." Chie muttered, breaking her silence.
Chie was the only one who game my life meaning... She's bright and strong, and she can do anything... She has everything that I don't... Compared to Chie, I'm... I'm...
Chie could only make a face of shock, not knowing any of this.
Chie protects me... She looks after my worthless life... And I... I don't deserve any of it... Chie is so kind...
"Yukiko, I-I..." Chie stuttered.
"To think that she relies on you that much." Kyoko said. "Yukiko must truly-"
""Chie is so kind," huh? What a joke."
Chie took a step back. That voice... it sounded just like hers. "Wh-What...!?"
Stepping out of the Shadows was a perfect double of Chie. Right down to the blonde hair and green jacket. Side-by-side, it was hard to tell the difference.
But the eerie golden eyes and malevolent aura was a dead giveaway for the copy.
"Oh man... Is that...!?"
"I would assume so, Yosuke." Kyoko said, hand slowly going towards her weapon. "Be careful."
"She lost control over her suppressed self... Now it's a Shadow!" Teddie said.
"Oh, are we talking about THAT Yukiko!? She says that I'm protecting her!?" The Shadow laughed. "She says she's worthless! That's how it should be, right?"
"Wh-What're you saying?" Chie asked it, nervously.
"You should know full well, Chie." Kyoko said in a low voice, eyes Shadowed by her hair.
"Miss Detective here has the right idea." The Shadow said. "Lemmie just repeat those thoughts, shall I? Ahem, "Yukiko's sooo good looking... sooo fair-skinned... sooo feminine... She's the one all the guys drool over. When Yukiko looked at me with such jealousy... Man, did I get a charge out of that.""
"Did... did the Shadow just imply that you-?"
"It might as well have been, loser." The Shadow said, ignoring Yosuke's outcry at the insult. "Yukiko knows the score. She can't do anything if I'm not around. I'm much better than her. Much, MUCH better!"
"No!" Chie yelled. "I have never thought that!"
"Shit, it's getting worse." Yosuke noted. "At this rate..."
"Chie's safety is the top priority at the moment." Kyoko said.
"Yeah! We need to protect Chie-chan right now!" Teddie said.
"No!" She yelled. "Don't come near me! Don't look at me!"
"Chie, you've got to calm down!" Yosuke told her.
"No...! Not, this isn't me! I swear!"
Yosuke and Kyoko's expressions changed to that of alarm.
"Chie! Don't say anything like that!" Yosuke warned.
Chie's Shadow merely laughed. "Wow, you're just a helpless little bitch right now, aren't you?" She chuckled. "But that's right. I'm the one who can't do anything alone. Ooh, "I can't win as a girl, let along as a person. I'm pathetic. But Yukiko, she depends on me. That's why she's my friend. I'll never loosen my grip on her. She's too important to me.""
"No, no... that's not how I think of her, I swear..." Chie fell to her knees, hands on her ears.
"Hah, what a load of crap. So you're just gonna try blocking it out and deny me again? Keep dreaming, but when the time comes, I'll be the one left standing. You don't mind, right? I mean, I am you."
"Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!" Chie screamed. "You're-!"
"Chie!" Yosuke yelled. "No!"
"You're not me!"
The Shadow kept a straight face, before it cracked into a nightmarish grin. It began to laugh maniacally, as more malevolent aura surrounded it. As it began to mutate and transform, Kyoko ran up and grabbed Chie by the arm.
"Chie, get back, quickly!"
Chie just seemed out of it, as Kyoko struggled to move her.
"Jiraiya!"
Yosuke slashed apart his tarot card with his kunai, summoning his Persona.
"Bring them over here!"
Jiraiya made a hand symbol and a gust of wind pulled Chie and Kyoko to safety. Kyoko leaned Chie against a wall.
"Teddie, keep an eye out for her." Kyoko said, turning back to the Shadow's aura. "Yosuke and I will handle this."
"G-Got it! You can count on me, Sensei!"
The Shadow finished transforming just as Kyoko and Yosuke walked up to confront it. It's true form was more humanoid, in comparison to Yosuke's Shadow. It was wearing yellow dominatrix gear, with a yellow hood. She was sitting on three mechanical dolls that were wearing the Yasogami high female uniform, all attached by golden chains around their necks that led to the Shadow's hand. It had long black hair that reached the floor, despite the extra height. Several of them were tipped off with razor sharp blades. And in her other hand, she carried a red whip that had a spiked tip.
"I am the Shadow... the true self..." It boomed. "What do you guys think you're doing? Trying to defend the "real" me? Then you're gonna pay the price!"
"Wow, I didn't know what it would look like, but that's... not what I was expecting." Yosuke noted, ignoring the threat. "D-Does it have a banana as a head?"
"Yosuke, focus-"
She had the wind knocked out of her as Yosuke dived at her, pushing her out of the way as the red whip tore up the floor she was standing on seconds ago.
"I could tell you the same thing, Kyoko." Yosuke noted.
"You could have been a little less rough." She said, holding up her hand to smash the tarot card. "Izanagi!"
The black Persona appeared in a burst of light, brandishing its weapon.
"Zio!" Kyoko called, pointing at the Shadow, zapping it with a burst of electricity.
"Nice one! My turn!" Yosuke smashed a tarot card, and Jiraiya blasted Chie's Shadow with wind, knocking it down.
"It's weak to wind attacks!" Teddie called. "Now's your chance!"
"Right! Let's go!"
Kyoko and Yosuke dashed up and stabbed and slashed. They both jumped back and noticed that their strikes weren't as strong as they could have been.
"Pah! How lame! So serious and we've only gotten started!"
The Shadow whipped the ground and briefly glew green. Yosuke had Jiraiya launch another burst of wind, but it wasn't as effective as the last time.
"Crap, she's gotten some kind of resistance to my attacks!"
"So you're the cause of that?! You'll pay!"
The Shadow snapped her fingers, blasting both of them with electricity. They shouted in pain, but Yosuke took more damage than Kyoko. When the shocking stopped, Yosuke noticed that the red whip had wrapped around his wrist.
"GET OVER HERE!"
Chie's Shadow pulled Yosuke off his feet and smashed him into the wall. She pulled him off and then slammed him into the floor, before she threw him upwards towards the ceiling, releasing him.
"C-Crap!" Yosuke coughed out, mid-air. "Jiraiya-!"
"Ah ah ah!" Chie's Shadow said, wagging her finger. "I don't think so!"
The Shadow's hair lashed out and ensnared Jiraiya, tightening the grip and immobilizing Yosuke as well. Yosuke fell, looking at the fast approaching ground.
Not good... not good!
"Oh no, Yosuke's gonna crash!" Teddie yelled, waving his arms.
Yosuke closed his eyes and prepared for impact. Hopefully his friends would look away before he splattered on the ground.
"Izanagi!"
He changed his mind about his friends looking away, as Kyoko had summoned her Persona to catch him.
"Bearrific catch, Sensei!" Teddie cheered.
"Thanks for the save, Kyoko!" Yosuke said.
Kyoko nodded, before she and her Persona turned back to Chie's Shadow.
"Izanagi!" Kyoko called. "Cut Jiraiya free!"
Izanagi flew towards Jiraiya and raised its blade to slice the Persona free.
"Hands off!"
Chie's Shadow lashed its whip forward and slashed at Izanagi. The Persona quickly moved back, but the whip managed to strike its hands. Kyoko cried out and dropped her knife, her gloves now slightly torn to reveal the angry red skin underneath them. The lash from the whip hand drawn blood.
The sound of the whip and Kyoko's scream was what snapped Chie out of it.
"Well you two were complete disappointments." The Shadow said. "Maybe I should just end it!"
She turned her attention to Chie, who was now standing up.
"Oh, you're still there? I'd wish you'd die already. Oh don't worry, I promise to treat Yukiko very well... as my personal punching bag, that is!"
"You... will leave her alone..."
""I'm the one who can't do anything do anything on my own. I'm the one who's pathetic. But Yukiko truly needs me, that's the only reason I keep her around, that's why she's my friend! I can't lose her.""
"That's not... what I think..."
"Chie." Yosuke groaned. "You can't let that pain in the ass get to you-"
"SILENCE!"
The hair shot out again, and wrapped around Yosuke's neck. Yosuke struggled as he was slowly lifted up.
"Yosuke! I..."
Chie put her hands on her head, trying to block out the thoughts. Her thoughts. Everything that the Shadow had said was flooding to her at the same time.
Is this... how I truly feel...?
...
...
...
"So what if it is true? Who cares?"
"Y-Yosuke?"
"You're still her friend, aren't you?"
"Kyoko..."
"Can't you two idiots just SHUT UP?!"
The hair that had ensnared Yosuke slammed him against the wall, while the speared tips shot towards Kyoko. The girl shifted to the side to avoid getting skewered, but the blades grazed her shoulder. She grit her teeth and fell to one knee.
"Kyoko! Yosuke!"
"Don't worry..." Kyoko said.
"Just remember!" Yosuke called.
"Remember...?"
Memories began to push out the bad thoughts. She remembered how they first met on the floodplains as kids, and all the good times they had together. A few tears leaked out of her eyes, but they quickly stopped.
Chie's hand tightened into a fist, as she looked at the Shadow with a gaze of determination. She slowly walked forward to her Shadow.
"You know what? You're right."
"What? What's this bullshit?"
"Everything you said? It's all true. I did think all those horrible things, but do you know what won't change?"
"Seriously? Are you just going to accept me like that?!"
Chie stopped.
"Yukiko's my friend, and I'll do anything to save her."
Chie's Shadow stared at her, static shimmering on her body.
"Then how about you DIE FOR HER!"
Chie's Shadow reared its arm back and whipped forward. Chie brought up her arms to defend herself, but it turns out she didn't have to.
"IZANAGI!"
Chie's Shadow was struck by a burst of lighting, stunning it and making it cry out. Its grip loosened and it dropped Yosuke and his Persona. The teen quickly scrambled to his feet, a grin on his face.
"Time for some payback!" He said. "JIRAIYA!"
Jiraiya pulled its arms back before thrusting them forward to unleash a huge explosion of wind. Chie's Shadow could only shriek as the huge burst of wind engulfed her.
"NOW!"
Kyoko and Yosuke dashed forward and slashed past Chie's Shadow. With one final howl, the Shadow's malevolent aura faded, transforming it back into resembling Chie once more.
"I get it now." Chie said, stepping forward to her pacified other self. "You are me. A side I couldn't forgive... that I tried to ignore."
Chie's fist tightened. She wanted to punch it, make it go away so badly.
"But you still exist. You are a part of me."
Chie's Shadow nodded, glowing blue and transforming. It became a muscular samurai-esque figure, holding a dual tipped naginata. Draped around its waist was a metallic skirt of sorts. But notably, it was garbed in a yellow jumpsuit with black stripes lining its length. It transformed into another tarot card and fell into Chie's hands before disappearing.
"I hear a name... Tomoe..."
She heard footsteps and saw Yosuke, Kyoko and Teddie walk up to her. While the two were wounded, they had understanding expressions on their face.
"It's true. Part of me did feel that way towards Yukiko." Chie said. "But my feelings about being friends with Yukiko, that was never a lie."
"We knew that already, Chie." Yosuke said with a smile.
Chie returned the grin, before she fell to her knees.
"H-Hey! Chie!" Yosuke said, concerned.
"I'm alright." She reassured. "Just a little tired."
"It's probably the same thing you felt, Yosuke." Kyoko said, leaning down to help Chie onto her shoulder. "After you got yours."
"Oh, that's right!" He said, realizing what this means. "You can use the same power we have now."
"Huh? That Persona thing?" Chie asked.
"Yeah." Yosuke said. "But now, we're at another dilemma."
"What?"
"Kyoko and I are kinda beat up from the fight with your Shadow." Yosuke said. "And you're tired as well. We still have to rescue Yukiko, but..."
"We should go back." Kyoko said. "If we rush things now, we'll just make it worse on us."
"Yeah. We should let Chie rest."
"H-Hey! I never said I needed a breather!" Chie said. "I can still keep going."
"Don't overdo it." Teddie said.
"Look, Chie. We know you're worried about Yukiko more than we are. But now that you can fight with us, it would be much better for all of us if you had your strength back."
"Yosuke's right." Kyoko said. "We should fall back for now."
"But-but, Yukiko is still in here, isn't she?!" Chie argued. "What we heard before, if they were Yukiko's true feelings... then I have to tell her something."
She wanted to punch the ground to express her frustration, but was afraid she might throw Kyoko's balance off.
"I'm not as strong as she thinks... It was because she was with me... Because we were always together, I was able to act that way. If we weren't, I'd..."
"Well, you need to get back to full capabearity! Then you can tell her!" Teddie piped up. "Yuki-chan's normal. The Shadows don't attack normal people. They only attack when the fog lifts here."
"So Yukiko-san will be safe until then, right?" Yosuke asked.
"I'm positive." Teddie said.
"But why? I don't get it." Chie said, confused.
"Teddie said that the weather here is the opposite of our own world." Kyoko explained. "When the weather is foggy in our world, it lifts here, and that's when the Shadows attack their victim."
"So even if we leave for a while, Yukiko-san won't be in danger until the fog starts to cover Inaba. I'm sure of it. It was the same way for that announcer and Senpai." Yosuke added. "Don't you remember how it was foggy in town on the days they died?"
"You mean, they were killed by their other selves?" Chie asked.
"That's the assumption, yes." Kyoko said.
"The fog usually appears after it rains." Yosuke said. "But it has been sunny lately. I don't think we're gonna have some rain anytime soon."
"We'll check the weather forecast as well, Chie." Kyoko reassured.
"But we-we can't turn back now! We've come so far!" Chie protested. "Yukiko's still here! She's all alone... she must be so scared!"
"Alright, then you tell me how much further we gotta go to reach Yukiko-san!" Yosuke shot at her, clearly done with how much she was protesting.
"Th-That's-!"
"You don't know what's up ahead. For all we know, the enemies might be even stronger. If we push ourselves too hard and get wiped out, who'll save Yukiko-san then!? We can't fail, no matter what. Am I wrong?"
Chie sighed, clearly defeated. "...Alright."
Kyoko helped Chie to her feet as they started walking back.
"I'm sorry about before." Chie said. "I shouldn't have rushed in like that by myself..."
"We know how you feel, Chie." Kyoko reassured as she supported her friend, both metaphorically and literally.
"Yeah, no worries." Yosuke reassured. "We're definitely going to save Yukiko-san... Right?"
"...Right!"
Leaving the castle, they made their way back to the TV station-like area so they could go back home.
"Ugh, I'm feeling even worse than the last time I came in here..." Chie groaned. "I feel like my head is gonna split open... are you guys okay?"
"Ah, that's right." Kyoko realized. "You didn't get the glasses."
"Glasses...?" Chie asked, looking at her friends. "Oh yeah... what is up with those? Did your eyesight go bad?"
"Man, you didn't notice toll now?" Yosuke asked. "How panicked were you?"
"Don't worry! Da da da da daaaa!" Teddie held up a pair of yellow-rimmed glasses in his hands. "I got a pair ready for Chie-chan, too."
Chie took the glasses from Teddie and put them on, looking around in shock.
"Whoa, what the heck?! This is awesome! It's like the fog doesn't exist!"
"Yeah that was the same way Kyoko and I reacted." Yosuke said, before realizing something. "Hold up, Ted, why didn't you whip those out earlier if you had them?"
"I made them right now!" Teddie said, stamping his feet. "You didn't tell me she was coming! It was all so sadden! I mean, sudden!"
"Huh, so that's the trick." Chie said, looking at them. "I was wondering how you guys could see where you were going. Hey, can I keep these?"
"Fo' sho!" Teddie said, cheerfuly.
"Well, I guess we have to stop here today... But I'll be back with these puppies!" Chie said. "You guys better not come here without me, got it!?"
"Yeah, let's all promise each other." Yosuke said. "Nobody goes in alone. It's way too dangerous. If we don't work together, we won't be able to solve this case or save Yukiko-san, right?"
"Agreed." Kyoko said.
"Yeah, I agree. I promise too." Chie said.
"We'll solve this case and save Yukiko." Kyoko said, as the other two nodded in agreement.
"If that's the case, from tomorrow on, we'll try and come here as much as we can after school. That includes days off." Yosuke said. "Oh uh, hey, Kyoko."
"Yes?"
"Dunno if I'm asking too much, but do you mind being our leader?"
Kyoko's eyes widened. "Me?"
"Yeah. You were the first to get this power, and you're way better in a fight than either of us. Not to mention you're a genius with all those detective skills." Yosuke said. "I think it's best for all of us if you set the pace of the investigation, and we follow your lead. I mean, I'm cool playing second banana."
Kyoko paused at that. She wasn't really sure. Ironically, back at Hope's Peak Academy, she was the same as Yosuke when it came to roles. She'd rather be the supporter than the leader.
But then she thought of some of her friends, who have also complimented her skills and said she would be a great leader... though some compliments were better than others.
She remembered that being a leader, would bring hope. Was she fit to fill that role? Only time would tell, but they needed an answer now.
"Fine. Leave it to me." She said.
Perhaps this first new step would help her find something about herself.
"I had a feeling you'd say that." Yosuke said. "I mean, I'm more the adviser type, y'know? An ideas man, not an executive."
"I'm with Yosuke. If you're the one calling the shots, I'd feel a lot more comfortable about this." Chie added.
"I'm with Yosuke too!" Teddie said. "If you're the one calling the shots, my pillow will be a lot more comfortable at night."
"Teddie, would you please stop talking?" Chie asked. "I'm like, really on edge right now."
So I'm the leader now. Kyoko thought to herself. I suppose this means the days of pursuing this case with my friends have begun...
She heard the sound of shattering glass.
Thou art I... And I am Thou...
Thou has established a new bond...
It brings thee closer to the truth...
Thou shalt be blessed when creating Personas of the Fool Arcana...
Another bond? But this one felt just like the Hope Arcana earlier...
"Okay." Yosuke said, breaking her out of her thoughts. "Let's get some rest for today so we're ready for tomorrow on. Oh, and don't forget to check the weather forecast. It gets foggy after a lot of rain, so let's keep an eye out. And we should also probably gear up for next time."
They all nodded in agreement.
After returning though the Junes, Kyoko had returned home. After slipping on a new pair of gloves, she had come downstairs to join the Dojimas for dinner. The news was blaring on the television.
That's all for world news tonight. Coming up next, the local news.
Dojima was quiet, with a stern expression on his face. He turned to Kyoko.
"Hey, Kyoko. Mind if I ask something? You aren't getting involved with any strange business, are you?"
"Strange business is part of our family's career, Uncle."
"Fair enough, but what happened at the station this afternoon... it's still bothering me."
Kyoko remembered, and let out a quiet sigh, too low for Dojima to hear. She recalled Yosuke's impulsive move that had caused a huge scene and an equally huge problem.
"Is there anything you're not telling me?" He asked.
Kyoko thought for a second, before answering. "I don't hide anything important." Kyoko said. "Secrets tend to cause problems if left untold."
"...I see." Dojima said. "Well, it's just been nagging at me, that's all."
"What's wrong?" Nanako asked them. "Are you fighting?"
The two of them looked at Nanako, who stared at the two with wide eyes.
"No, we're not having a fight." Dojima reassured her.
"This isn't the police station." She said.
Dojima sighed, before turning to Kyoko. "I agreed to look after you. So don't get yourself involved in anything that could get you into trouble." He said. "I know you have experience in detective work as well, but..."
"It's fine. I understand your concern, Uncle." Kyoko said.
As soon as she finished the sentence, the TV program switched to the weather forecast.
Due to high-pressure fronts from the west, that sunny spring-like weather will stay with us for a while longer.
"Is this lady the one who decides the weather?" Nanako asked. "Cause when she says that it'll be sunny, it always is."
Dojima chuckled a bit at his daughter's innocence. "Uh, she's not really deciding it. Ah, never mind."
At school the next day, Kyoko was talking with Yosuke before class.
"I wonder how Chie's doing." He said. "Too much stuff happened yesterday. I hope she's back to her usual self..."
Almost as if on cue, Chie walked in. Spotting the two, she walked up.
"Oh, mornin'!" She cheerfully said.
"Are you alright?" Kyoko asked.
"Yep." Though the smile dropped a bit. "Um... Thanks for everything yesterday. It's... kinda embarrassing, ya know? You two were right there to see my hidden feelings and all."
"Don't sweat it." Yosuke said.
"Oh, and the same thing happened to Yosuke, right?" Chie asked. "Soooo... what was it like?"
"Huh?" Yosuke started to panic a bit. "Uhhh, how should I put this..."
"Well, Yosuke's shadow did have hidden feeling as well. Such as how-"
"Oh, I nearly forgot!" Yosuke talked over Kyoko, changing the subject. "None of that happened when yours awakened, huh? Hmmm, could that be because you've got nothing to hide?"
"Oh, so nothing happened for you?" Chie asked. "Huh, that's kinda weird. You seem like a pretty closed girl. There's a funny air about you."
"Well, it might be thanks to my friends back at Hope's Peak Academy." Kyoko said. "They taught me to open up about myself."
"You talk a lot about your friends." Yosuke said. "We really got to find some time to talk about them, cause they sound really cool."
"Maybe after we save Yukiko, I can make some time." Kyoko said.
"Speaking of which, that was what I was going to bring up." Chie said. "What's most important right now is to rescue Yukiko. I'm dead set on coming. Remember... You promised."
The bell rung, and Yosuke's expression changed to that of irritation. "Oh crap, I still haven't gone to the bathroom!"
He quickly ran out, leaving Kyoko with Chie.
"Oh uh... Hey, um..."
Chie struggled to get the words out correctly before taking a deep breath.
"Thanks for saving me." She said. "Yosuke's cool and all, but... there really is something different about you. I feel like you won't let me down."
Kyoko could feel Chie's gratitude, as she heard glass shatter again.
Thou art I... And I am Thou...
Thou has established a new bond...
It brings thee closer to the truth...
Thou shalt be blessed when creating Personas of the Chariot Arcana...
Now this bond? This one felt more like Yosuke's.
"Oh, that's right." Kyoko took out her phone. "I'll need your contact information."
"Ah, yeah. That'll definitely help." Chie said, taking out hers as well so they could exchange cell numbers.
After setting away their phones, Chie began to talk again.
"So we have to be careful of the fog that sets in after the rain, right? Let's save her before that happens!" Chie said, all pumped up and ready.
Kyoko admired Chie's enthusiasm. She only hoped she could live up to their expectations of being a leader.
A/N: For those of you that are hardcore Persona 4 fans, you may realize that some of the dialogue from the game/anime has a lot more new stuff compared to the last time. I'm finally heading into the territory where I'll be writing up more original dialogue. Thought I will be keeping a fair bit of of the dialogue from the game/anime intact, as sometimes there's no real point in rewording them.
I don't really have a lot to say about this chapter.
And starting from this point forward, at the end of my Author's Notes I will be keeping track of Kyoko's Social Link Ranks, to make things easier for all of us.
That's all from me, see y'all next time.
Kyoko's Social Links:
Magician (Yosuke Hanamura): Rank 1
Chariot (Chie Satonaka): Rank 1
Fool (The Investigation Team): Rank 1
Hope (Hope's Peak Academy Students): Rank 1
