Current Day: 6/15 Evening
- Apparently showing up to soccer practice like four times was enough to become the best player on the team.
- I've only done the band hangouts like 3 times but so far they are the same thing every time.
- This time after watching nothing on the Midnight Channel we sort of see the killer's silhouette in the fog. It looks like it could be Adachi but sprites aren't that different looking and who even knows if they're playing fair with that.
- All the killer says is "Again". This implies that they really didn't know Kanji's corpse would not show up, but it seemed to be fairly common knowledge in the small town when both Yukiko and Kanji showed back up. I may just be overthinking this one.
- Kanji is suddenly much more formal with us because we are a year older than him, in accordance with Japanese law.
- Kanji also thinks someone showed up to his house before he was taken. He's apparently not sure. Which means it definitely happened.
- Kanji's first contribution to the investigation is that he stole a random piece of paper from a random suspicious kid. Uhh, thanks?
- The paper does finally lead us to the conclusion that every victim has been broadcast on mass media. We're not great at this.
- So people are indeed seeing the victims on the Midnight Channel but I guess not the people who go in after them? Maybe only shadows show up for some reason.
- We formally introduce Kanji to Teddie. Kanji gets not one but two pairs of goofy glasses, throwing the second one into the abyss.
- Yukiko slaps Kanji for asking her what it was like to come out.
- Morooka calls me a bum for not being in the Student Health Association. A group with maybe 6 members. Whatever.
- I meet Naoki, Sayumi's brother. He says he hates me. Unjustified but understandable. Honestly you shouldn't even be back yet.
- We keep hearing about a suspicious individual. I don't know if this is the same person Kanji took the note from, but if it is I guess it's Naoki? If it's not than it could be hat person, maybe. Almost impossible it's actually the killer. At the very least they'll end up not looking like the killer once they elaborate.
- Yosuke has the "brilliant" plan of getting scooters so girls have to press their boobs against your back. Might be the most teenager thing I've ever heard in my life.
- Kanji immediately points out that you're not allowed to ride double unless it's actually a motorcycle. I'm not sure if that's even something you can do yet. We're still going through with this plan anyway. Kanji repeatedly and hilariously kills the vibe.
- Dojima reacts poorly to this idea at first due to PTSD of losing his wife. Poor guy. Seems to come around quick.
- We instantly get our scooter licenses. I don't know what driver tests are like in Japan but they make it seem pretty easy.
- Dojima has already fixed up his scooter for me. What a bro-uncle.
- Naoki doesn't hate his sister's killer. Can't say I'd feel the same.
- I ask out Ai from before, because the game gives me the option. She says yes if I'll ditch afternoon classes. I get the feeling that she'd give any guy the time of day based on that criteria.
- Chie tries to fight 3 guys shaking down her not so friendly friend at once by herself. I step in but they run off before the cops show up. I appreciate the enthusiasm but it's really weird that she initially doesn't even want me to help.
- I have a very sobering talk with Nanako about her mother and life and death and her father's life priorities. Good thing I'm like the wisest teenager on the planet.
- Even when he's about to give his daughter medicine Dojima leaves his house at the drop of a hat for work. I seriously don't know what he did before I got here.
- Naoki seems to be okay with people talking behind his back. Or more accurately he probably doesn't give enough of a shit about anything to care about it.
- Despite it raining this day it conveniently clears up long enough to practice instruments outside. Even the game points that one out.
- I do a magic trick for Nanako that she completely sees through but is amused anyway. That's nice.
- Oh I guess Yosuke and I are still going to the city to pick up chicks by having scooters. I'm sure this is a great plan.
- Morooka quizzes on on the difference between "morals" and "morale". This just leaves me wondering what the heck this translated from because he isn't the English teacher.
- "You remember when those women were killed? It's shit like that that brings down people's morale! And their morals!" This is somehow one of the least stupid things Morooka has said.
- Yosuke and I ride our scooters to Okina Station. Kanji manages to keep up with us on a bike, like he said he could. Okay this dude's kinda great.
- Kanji heads off to a craft store. Somehow our pick up strategy of stand by our scooters gets us nowhere.
- We're now in a pickup contest. Sigh.
- Okay was not expecting an Animal Farm reference of all things.
- The office lady was terrifying.
- Okay forget the women here I'm just gonna talk to this cat.
- I do end up getting a number. I call it and the guy on the other end apparently already knows about me and threatens to kill me. Still a better outcome that the larger lady breaking Yosuke's scooter.
