1st Vision ♫ [Video]

[like_tofu]

[The video feed from the communicator on the Mansion floor picked up on a young girl with her hair in high pigtails. The 5'2" teenager somehow ended up sitting and hunched over... on the inside of the fully open grand piano in the Music Room.]Ow! Okay, this isn't cool and is just really, really weird! This isn't how you treat a girl... or

It's not the other world, Rise.

[Again, no way. She heard that voice, and it was so familiar, even if it was quiet and somewhat distant. Where was it coming from--]

[--Oh, what's this? Some kind of palm pilot thing? The shocked look on her face was still there when she caught a glimpse of who was on the screen. Then she immediately brightened.]

Senpai!! It's really you! I knew you'd come back to tell me how much you love me!

Just kidding! But really, what happened to us, Senpai? You were on the train out of Inaba...

Yeah. But I came here instead. Yousuke, Yukiko, and Kanji are here too.

[holyandsexy]

This is Wonderland. I'm afraid you're stuck here.

[Wonderland? Like the story? Rise didn't really mind the name of the place, but she was more concerned with something else.]

Stuck here? What do you mean by "stuck" here, exactly?

[holyandsexy]

None of us have figured out how to leave.

[like_tofu]

Us? Who's the rest of us? And if we can't leave, who brought us here and how?

[This was getting a little suspicious on top of being really weird.]

[There really were a variety of people here. Rise checked her new communication device and looked at whoever it was on screen.]

Yeah, someone told me that! Sounds like something out of some TV drama, actually. And that we're stuck here for a while...

... Though I guess I wouldn't mind being stuck here if it's with someone like you! You're kinda cute!

[You're no Seta Souji, but have a smile anyway, Akihiko.]

[She wouldn't mind being stuck here with him?] Yeah, it's good that there are other people trapped here t-

Rise, are you alright? You're not hurt are you?

[Another familiar voice! Souji had told her that she would be here too, but still--]

[--Rise got on screen and gave her a nod and a smile.]

Yukiko-senpai! I'm okay, but whoever decided that ending up in the piano was a good idea needs to change their idea of fun!

That's kind of embarrassing... Did everyone see that...?

[fans_fire]

That does seem an odd place for you to have arrived. But I'm glad you're okay.

Potentially. These broadcasts appear to be viewable by anyone who lives here.

[masukukunai]

Heeeeeey, Rise-chan! Looks like my luck keeps getting better and better!

It's okay, you're not in the other world. This is Wonderland.

[Only a select few ever called her that! But with that voice, it could only be one person...]

[And sure enough, it was! Rise gave him a big smile and waved at the camera to him.]

Yousuke-senpai! You're really here too!

Yeah, I thought we ended up in the other world somehow, but that would've been weird since we just saw Souji-senpai off at the train station!

[masukukunai]

So you're from that time too, huh? Weird.

Yeah, I thought the same thing when I first got here, but it's not. This place is... different.
