[Five rings before she picks up--]

Hello? Sorry, I was in the-- mm, nevermind. What is it?

[Silence.]

And I hope you're not conjuring up images of myself in just a towel, from where you're sitting.

You wouldn't blame me, would you?

I guess not... Well, what is it?

You told me that I'm me, right? Well, I'm not sure if I'm me. The me you know is the me that I should be. I don't know.

I saw one of the zeroes be killed. That ... everything's coming out all clunky. I'm not saying it right, but I just think ... don't get close to the zeroes. I don't want you to be hurt.

[Silent for a moment; she's taking all this in stride.]

Thank you for the concern, Yosuke. Although, I have to admit, I thought the whole Battle Royale fiasco would have changed your opinion a little.

Still. Seeing people killed here is a little different from witnessing murder there, isn't it? I don't suppose you've done something about it? About the zeroes.

I am concerned. I don't want you to suffer, okay?

Changed my opinion a little?

... yeah. I tried, but it didn't really work out.

I'll be safe, don't worry. Besides, you're the hero. You'll be there to save me, if I do get in trouble. Not that I will, but just saying.

Mm, no, nevermind that. What didn't work out? What did you do?

I tried to save one of the zeroes from being killed. I wasn't able to ... the guy just died right in front of me. I didn't do anything. I wasn't able to do anything, even with my power.

Shijima, you don't have any power, but you're still able to find a way to save those around you. You saved me by talking with me at that time, remember? Ah, not sure what I'm trying to say... do you know?

Hmm.

There could be a lot of things. You could be frustrated that you couldn't do anything about the zeroes. They could have been saved, even if they were anomalies, but they were slaughtered and none of us could do anything about that...

Helplessness is an awful feeling. Did the zero claim to know you? Did you establish a friendship with them? Maybe that is why...

Shall I come to hold your hand?

He didn't know me at all. But you're right, I did feel like I made a bond with him. It was weak, but it was there. I like to think that we could have been good friends...

My hand held... maybe. Sorry I'm still such a kid, Shijima.

Wait, are you saying that they are all wiped out? Even that stupid bear? There's ... I have to find out what happened to him!

Those are the rumors. Who knows, there might still be a few hiding in the Abyss. They're safer there than up here.

That is what I hope.
