[Souji's sporting some ugly bruises along with a few suspicious ones, but he ignores them completely as he addresses the camera. He is all business at first.]

Yukiko, Kanji. I need to talk to you both about something.

[Then his expression softens and he smiles.]

You too, Yousuke.

I'm here. What do you need? Do you need me to heal you? What happened to you?

[He filters their conversation, even though for some reason he didn't bother filtering the actual post.]

I'm alright. I need to fill you in on some things.

[fans_fire]

Oh. Um, okay. Are you sure you're alright?

private;

[eatsyourscience]

Yes. [He smiles reassuringly.] It's nothing major.

The time you came from was just after we rescued Naoto, wasn't it? And I never told you who the murderer ended up being.

[fans_fire]

Okay.

Yes, that's right. I took her home and then I came here. And no, you didn't tell me.

[eatsyourscience]

It was Adachi.

[fans_fire]

Wh-him? Really? But...wait, does that mean...are we safe with him being here?

As long as we're careful, I think we'll be fine. He's one against five, and I don't think he'd be able to actually kill anyone directly.

[Despite the fact that he WOULD have killed Souji yesterday if his gun had been loaded. Details details.]

W-well, if you're sure...I can't believe it. All this time I thought we could trust him when he was the one who...how dare he? How dare he show up here after what he did?

[As if he actually had a choice in the matter]

[Souji shakes his head. He doesn't like it either.]

We beat him at home. So he won't be a problem here.

private;

[fans_fire]

Yes...Yes, you're right.

Do you think...should we warn people? I mean, we all know to keep an eye on him but what about everyone else?

private;

[eatsyourscience]

It might cause more problems than it would help.

private;

[fans_fire]

You think so?

...well, you're the Leader. If you say so then you're probably right.

private;

[eatsyourscience]

For now we'll keep an eye on him.

private;

[fans_fire]

Oh, okay! I can do that.

Thanks, Yukiko.
