Ah, uhm. Hello Issei.

Hello, Amagi. How have you been lately?

Oh, well. Mostly I have been well. Some things have been...a bit strange, but otherwise...good. Better than before, really.

I see. That's good to hear - I've been concerned for you ever since your kidnapping.

Oh? Well, t-thank you for worrying. I'm sorry you have to. It was...it was very strange but I think I am actually somewhat better now, because of it.

Hm... With a difficult experience like that, it's natural that you've grown because of it. Or did you mean because of that other you?

Well, I-I suppose a little of both? I mean, the other me was still...me. Despite everything.

...Amagi, now might be a good time to start explaining things, if you can.

Oh, right. U-uhm...well, okay. You have to promise not to tell anyone, okay?

I'll be sworn to secrecy. ...Not even Shirogane, though? He's attempting to help.

No, not even him. I know he's trying to help but we don't really want the police to know, and he is working with them.

It...it would be very difficult to help anyone if Souji's Uncle or Inspector Adachi were trying to 'help.'

I see... If you think that it's for the best, I won't tell a soul. I promise.

Thank you.

Alright, so. Uhm. Hmm. When I was kidnapped? And this is going to sound pretty much insane, but, I was shoved into a television. That video of me...the other me? And the other Kanji? They were coming from in there. There's a world in there. It's...very strange.

It's no stranger than anything else I've seen on this community. What happened to you in there?

I honestly don't remember most of it. I know Chie told me that me, well, the other me, she made a big pink castle in there. And she had these monsters, shadows, attacking them as they tried to rescue me.

When they found me she was there, and she said...well, she said some awful things, but [there is a long pause here.] but they were true, in a way. Things about myself that I didn't want to admit.

Is it the same for Tatsumi?

Oh yes. I-I suppose I was lucky, my...when they confronted me, it was not televised the way his was, here to DDD. What seems to happen is when we...we deny the other self, it gets so much more powerful. That's what they were fighting there in that video. And when they rescued me...

...Yes? You're all right now, so something must have happened to it.

I do not like to think about it much. She transformed into a monster, a...she attacked everyone, she kept ranting about wanting someone to come and save her, like she was here on the community.

But yes, they did beat her. But, see...I still had to accept her, after. Accept what she was saying. They just keep getting stronger again until you do that.

I think I understand. And if no one had come to rescue you, there wouldn't have been an opportunity to accept her, so it's important that you help rescue the victims.

Yes. Uhm, at least, that's what we think happens. When the fog gets bad, Teddie says the shadows there get terribly violent. If someone is in there still, then...they die. We think that's what happened to Saki...

...I see. Then, I suppose my next question is the most important. Is there anything I can do to help you?

I'm sorry Issei, I-I don't really think so. It's...see, after we...

Once we confront our own shadow, we gain these, these powers. They're called Personas, sort of an inner strength idea but materialized. It's the only way to fight the shadows.

Then there's really nothing that I can do... I don't want to be kidnapped in order to be able to help you, but it's difficult to accept not being able to save someone.

Oh, I would not wish this on anyone, it's very...draining. I wish you could help too. But...we are doing our best. Hopefully no one else will end up in there.
