video/action;
[Souji is sitting on the front stoop of the inn, looking around at the snow. His expression, while typically neutral, also shows a combination of excitement and pensiveness. He offers a tiny smile to the video feed.]
I think Kanji and I have to take responsibility for this event. It shouldn't be bad, though. Unless someone else's memories are mixed in, this was just a nice vacation.
[He falls silent for a couple of seconds, distracted, then addresses the network again.]
Would anyone mind helping me figure out what word we lost this time? I need to write it down.

Me and my friends when on a trip to go skiing. [That's the obvious part, but he'll start there anyway. He continues, just stating the basic facts.] We were there for two days. On the first day, we skied and snowboarded. On the second day there was a snow storm.
[Should have mentioned that in your broadcast, Souji.]
video.
Do you think there will be a storm this time? Was it a blizzard, or just a snow gall?
video.
[Not quite.]
...Maybe keep an eye on the weather.
video.
[ a dutiful nod, and then - ]
What else do you remember from this trip? Any particular conversations?
video.
[Being popular is hard okay.]
And that night we--
[He stops, blinking in surprise.]
We...told stories that are meant to scare you.
video.
Stories that are meant to scare you?
Ghost stories?
[ is that what they're called? he's never really sat around telling them but they did feature quite often in his mystery novels!! ]
video.
...Whatever you said, that must be it.
video.

I can't even hear it. It's like radio static.

[...]
Or I can have someone else add it to the list.
video.
[ a beat. ]
Is there a larger reason you're keeping a list?
video.
If my friends ever show up, I want to show it to them.
[That's at least part of it.]
video.
[ because that's the only part that makes sense to him, anyway. ]
video.
video.
[ i'm sorry what. ]
video.
That's part of it. The other part is that I hope it'll help someone with figuring things out here.
video.
I see. Is there someone among your friends you think capable of that, out of curiosity.
video.
[Sure there are some geniuses in Wonderland, but Naoto is...Naoto.]
video.
video.
[They're from the same world, maybe Akechi's heard of her.]
Her name is Shirogane Naoto.
video.
The name's familiar, yes. Then again, I'm not surprised considering my line of work.
video.
[What would be surprising is if Akechi knew about the other detectives Souji has collected.]
...She'd be about 20 in 2016.
[Okay, that's a weird mental image.]
video.
video.
[He really can't imagine it. He can't really imagine any of his friends as adults. Maybe because he's been seventeen for almost seven years.]
I think it would be interesting if you met her, though.
