A; 1446 Mitchell Road- Morning

[A short but shrill shriek can be heard, interrupting any peace in the house that morning

Rise?

[ Of course it's Rise, Souji you idiot. But he's earnestly shocked with yet another person close to him getting pulled into this town. ]

[enemyradar]

[That was a voice Rise would recognize anwhere. A wave of relief washed over her immediately.]

...S-Senpai!? You're here, too?

[inababanchou]

Hey, Rise.

[ Rise's voice was a two-edged sword right now; it brought him sorrow to hear her here, yet he couldn't help but smile from hearing it. ]

Yes, I'm here. Everyone except Yukiko and Teddie.

[ There's so much to tell her, poor girl. She's not going to be real happy with what he's going to break to her. ]

Where do you live? I want to see you and we need to talk.

[enemyradar]

[The feeling was mutual. She was relieved that she wasn't alone, but she didn't like that her friends were going through this, too.]

Wow. So almost everyone's here, then...

Oh, hold on a second, Senpai. I'll check.

[She set down the receiver and went to look out front.]

Hehe, back. It says 1446 Mitchell Road.

Mind if we turn this from [Phone] to [Action]?

[inababanchou]

1446 Mitchell Road? Right. I'll be over in a few.

That's fine by me~

[enemyradar]

Okay! I'll be waiting, hehe.

[Action]

[inababanchou]

[ It doesn't take long for Souji to show up to the address. Rise you have someone knocking on your door! Through the door comes a muffled yet recognizable voice: ] It's Souji.

[enemyradar]

[Rise practically leaps from her seat and opens the door, smiling. She can't help but hug him when she sees him.]

Senpai! Come in.

[inababanchou]

[ Souji is prepared, knowing fully well that Rise would do such an action, and he'd be lying if he said he didn't like it. He hugs back, hard and even picks her up he's so happy to see her. Gently he sets Rise down and smiles. ]

Risette.

[ He enters the house after ruffling Rise's hair. ]

[enemyradar]

[She giggles, blushing a little.] Oh, Senpai~

Here, sit down. [It's a little awkward welcoming him into a house she isn't familiar with but that doesn't show very much through her smile.]

[inababanchou]

[ He does just that and has a seat, but he is holding a folded letter in his hand. ]

Rise, you should sit too. Here, please read this.

[enemyradar]

[She complies and takes the letter, reading it quickly. When she's finished, she shivers slightly, frowning.]

Gee, this place is even more messed up than I thought. It's pretty scary reading about all of this.

...These "drones". I'm guessing that's why the "mom" around here is how she is, then?

[inababanchou]

Right. You'll see them around town...

...

It's scary, yeah. But we're in this together, Rise. All of us.

[enemyradar]

[She smiles at him gratefully, nodding.]

Yeah, you're right. We can all do anything if we have each other.

You know, you're so cool, Senpai. [She giggles playfully.]

[inababanchou]

If I were cool we'd be out of this already. And you're the popular one here, you idol you.

[ A beat. ]

[inababanchou]

Say, Rise.

...

What were you doing before you came here? What day was it?...
