[even though they're probably both at home y/n?]

Have I what, Naoto-kun?

[princedetective]

[ Yeah, probably. And if so, Chie can witness Naoto looking flustered. ] Seen... bandages.

[skullcracking]

[OK let's go with that. Chie wanders into the room.]

[princedetective]

As effective as is possible.
