[Video]

[The screen shows Souji standing in a parking lot, the baseball field he arrived at in the background. He's holding his NV in front of him so it's not completely steady, but he's doing his best. He has a serious expression on his face, his eyes sharply looking at the camera of the NV.]Naoto Shirogane, if you can hear me, please stay where ( Read more... )

[Running up to meet the two of them, he smiles kindly to them as he starts. The smile falters slightly as he looks to Souji -- worried.]

Hey, guys. How are you feeling?

[Souji tilts his head slightly in confusion at Yosuke's change in expression, eyes never leaving his face. Something was really off with Yosuke.]

Should be okay. Do you need a medicine? I may have a couple left.

[Kanji doesn't notice anything about Yosuke yet. He's busy cradling his head in his hands.]

Feelin' like shit. Don't think that medicine cures tranquilizer...

I can't believe you got tranq'd. But I suppose they're not taking any chances these days.

[He shakes his head a little.]

I think we should find a place to sit down for awhile... maybe.

[Souji begins to look through his pockets.]

Try this stimulant. It should help...

[Well, it was supposed to cure Dizzy, so it should do something right? He pulls it out of his pocket.

When Yosuke spoke, Souji turned towards him, becoming more confused by the second.]

"They"? Yosuke what are you...? Why would we sit down here?

[Kanji shrugs and takes the stimulant. He leaves the questions to Souji, but mutters when it takes effect:]

Oh, man, that's better.

[And then he picks himself up, cracking his neck and stretching his arms a little.]

Uh, maybe I should first ask ... where do you guys think that we are?

[From what he heard, he is thinking that they probably have the wrong idea. Best set that straight first.]

[This...wasn't good. Where they "thought" they all were? His worst suspicions he believed were about to be confirmed...He replied slowly and steadily, eyes never leaving Yosuke.]

...Naoto Shirogane's Secret Hideout.

[He doesn't like the sound of this either. He glances at Souji and nods in confirmation. Then he turns his focus to Yosuke, who... looks different somehow, he's just now realizing. And not just because he's wearing something other than his school uniform. But Kanji stays quiet for the moment.]

... this is Siren's Port. It's a city. What brought you here was the Core.

[Yosuke gestures lightly back to where they came from.]

This isn't in the TV or anything. This is ... the real world. I guess.

[Souji was surprised of course, but at the same time, it made perfect sense. No fog, no Shadows...But there was the problem of where the others were. He nodded slowly, trying to keep his face as neutral as possible.]

...I had a feeling, but...how do you know that already? We've been separated for only a short time.

...You keep referring to us as "you".

[While his tone is conversational, he can't remove the nervousness completely from his voice. Unable to make complete eye contact with Souji and often looks to Kanji instead. Like he'd offer better assistance to this.]

I guess it's kind of hard to tell, but it's actually been awhile for me. It's been almost two years since I've been in Inaba.

[This made Souji's eyes widen for a second despite himself. What was Yosuke saying? Two years since he had been in Inaba? Maybe that's what had been "off" with Yosuke before? No--that was impossible. How could he be older than them?

Although Yosuke's body language was telling him there was something...really uncomfortable that needed to be said. Souji wanted to know what was going on but...wasn't sure he wanted to hear it if Yosuke was acting like this about it.]

I'm sorry I...I don't think I understand.

That is kind of something that shouldn't be dropped as though it was nothing, huh.

[Yosuke laughs nervously, trying to make it more of a joke, but it did not work as well as he thought. He closes his eyes as he steels his nerves just a little.]

But it is true. I haven't been back home in a long time... [He lightly scratches the back of his neck, sighing.] Anyway, yeah... welcome to Siren's Port, or whatever.

[Souji was too busy trying to figure out what Yosuke meant rather than listening to his...rather ill-timed attempt at a joke.]

Yosuke, what I meant was where exactly are we? Where is "Siren's Port"? How did we get here? And what do you mean you haven't been in Inaba for two years? You were with us in the Laboratory 20 minutes ago.

...Where is everyone else?

Sorry.

[He is just too shocked to see the both of them. The last that he saw Souji was during the riots ... Rise and his dead body. It's more than a little weird to be talking to him now, like that didn't happen. But it seems like he doesn't remember it. Kanji was awhile ago, too, but--]

This is a city in Canada. The Core is what brought you here. It's ... well, no one really knows what it is other than it has a lot of power. It closed off this entire city so that people can't leave it, but people get dragged here for one reason or another. If you try to leave, you feel what is known as the Pull ... your heart starts to hurt.

[Crossing his arms, he continues.Honestly, I ... I come from another timeline than you guys. Like, I dunno how to explain it, man. Time works differently when you're in these cities. Back then, back when I was in Inaba, it was already December. But then I was dragged out of Inaba by one city known as NeoGenesis. We -- the friends that I made there -- were able to break free, but just before we were able to go ( ... )
