[ It’s noon, and Entranceway’s newest arrival is curious as fuck. She’ll be wandering about the gardens, snooping around the mansion, peeking in through windows, staring at the blue skies that make up the entrance hall’s ceiling, sniffing the food in the kitchen, and everything in between.

There are mysteries here, and Naoto Shirogane, ace detective, is on the case. If that means interrogating the shit out of anyone who crosses her path, so be it.

Eventually, she’ll find the communications system and, after spending a while figuring it out (it's not hard to find previous posts and others' conversations), she’ll send out a brief, private message: ]



To Souji Seta & Yousuke Hanamura--
IMPT MESSAGE:
HELLO.
ARE U THERE?
PLZ RESPOND ASAP.

About as trustworthy as they get. He's one of my best friends.

[ Smile and nod. ]

Good. He had... a lot of information about our circumstances, which I assumed meant that he had to be well acquainted with either you or Senpai. Perhaps both. I just wanted to be sure, though. [ She contemplates mentioning her notebook-- the one she apparently gave Minato when she was last here but doesn't remember. In the end, though, she'll keep it to herself. At least until she can sift through all the information contained within it. ]

He knows all of us pretty well. About Inaba and the Midnight Channel-- he's been here a long time, like us. And he had Persona too, like Souji does. He had a whole group himself that went through a different shadow world to stop something really dangerous. He knows how all this goes.

It's strange, isn't it? I had thought we were an isolated case. I wonder how many other groups-- like our Investigation Team, are out there?

[masukukunai]

I did too, but... if shadows come from people's hearts, I guess they'll always find a way to sneak into existence. There may be tons of people out there with the power of persona.

I don't know whether to be glad that we're not alone, or... Well, worried, I suppose. Worried and sad for the others who must also face the dangers that we do.

...Worried and sad?

I'm sorry, but was that just empathy I heard coming out of you?

[tenoritantei]

Hey, wait a minute! I am perfectly capable of empathy!

[masukukunai]

Well yeah, I guess, but it's sort of like in the movies when the robot asks its creator if it's alive.

[tenoritantei]

It's nothing like that! Nothing at all! I-- It's-- [ huff puff whoops getting more and more flustered, she can't even come up with all the ways that is inaccurate as fux. ]

Y-You seriously cannot compare me to a robot! That's-- It's just not right. [ I mean, come on, my shadow was only half robot. ]

[masukukunai]

Woah there chibisuke, calm down! It's a joke, a joke! You know, compare A to B, these things are similar, haha very funny? I know you're not actually a robot.

[tenoritantei]

[ She is just... Going to cover her face with her hands. Chibisuke, really? oh my god ]

It wasn't very funny. At all. In the least.

[masukukunai]

You just need to brush up on your humor a bit.

[tenoritantei]

My humor is perfectly fine, thank you. [ that's a terrible lie, and everyone knows it. ]
