[It had taken Mitsuru a while to get used to her surroundings. She woke up, her uniform completely soaked for some strange reason and she was in the middle of a plaza with a strange glowing coral in the middle. This wasn't the Tartarus, she couldn't feel the presence of any Shadows. But this was pretty weird regardless. Was she kidnapped? There

Why yes, you are correct, this is in fact a communication device!
[He seems so happy to be saying as much]
I'm sorry to say that Iwatodai is no more--
[Stopping. FIXING THAT!]
What I mean to say is that you're no longer in a plane that has such a city.

[Mitsuru's just going to stare at you for a good long minute. And she's going to ignore what you just said for the time being.]
Who are you? Are you a resident of this area?

As for being a resident... I suppose? Though I'm like most everyone else here, just pulled from time and space to be in an underwater bubble. But we have an island now, as I've learned. A lonely island. But it's an island none the less!

While it seems that I am in a foreign location, I am still unsure of how I came to be here. I would much appreciate a physical examination when your schedule permits. Perhaps sooner rather than later, as I would like to make doubly sure that I have not obtained any injuries.

Of all the people he has seen come and go...he hasn't seen Mitsuru once. Which means he hasn't seen Mitsuru since...his death.
It's a lot to take in, but after a moment he has found his footing. Adapt adapt adapt. Senpai needs his help.
And there's that niggling voice in the back of his head wondering what time she is from.]
Mitsuru-senpai? Where are you?

[She grasps the communicator with trembling hands. She would recognise that voice from anywhere. Was he actually alive? No, it couldn't be...]
Minato, I...
[Deep breaths, Mitsuru. Deep breaths. This surely was some cruel trick. Mitsuru saw him die, on the rooftop. How could she forget that?]
It can't be.

Remembers his death too, doesn't she?
He breathes out a quiet sigh. This never gets easier, does it...?]
...I'm sorry, senpai. Maybe you can show me where you are; this might be easier to discuss in person.

...
[Except she can't say anything.]

Mitsuru is here.
Minato, Ken, Yukari, Fuuka, Junpei, Ryoji and now Mitsuru. It was as though SEES was starting to come together once more.]
Handsomely, you say? Resorting to bribery instead of executions now, Mitsuru?

This isn't a time for levity, Akihiko. We may be in some serious danger.

Since when has a little danger stopped me?

It never has. But I need to go back to Iwatodai as soon as I can. I can't imagine what would happen to the Kirijo Group if I weren't around to manage it. I'm sure the police have been alerted to my absence already.
[Unless this place was like the Tartarus, completely inaccessible to normal humans. Then they'd be in more trouble.]
We aren't in the Tartarus, are we?

You're in a place called Vatheon, now.
[okay, she's pretty.]
As far as I know, you...probably won't get back home for a while.

[This guy must be a resident here. Mitsuru assessed him best as she could.]
Have you been here long? Do you know why people are brought here to the first place? I am in search of information that may aid me.
Reply
[He shrugs.]
I've been here for a few months. I don't know why we're here - but that's a question that you'll have a tough time answering. I don't think anybody knows why exactly we're here.

[She sighs, and tries not to let her emotions show on her face. Trapped. A dead end situation. Not the best of places she could have ended up in.]
Thank you for answering my questions. I admit I'm still not coming to terms with the entirety of my situation.
Reply
... Mitsuru-senpai, we can't get home - at least not by any way we know of.
Reply
[She looks concerned but not angry that he's here. On the contrary, she may even look a bit relieved.]
Thank goodness that you're alright...

I'm fine. A lot of SEES is here, too. Where are you? Did someone get you a towel already?

Minato saw to me, and Akihiko is on his way.
[It would just be like old times... almost.]
