Glaciers of ideas importing to my friends then exporting to the next
Keeping it open we want no closing
Even without doughs our thoughts can be dope and
This mind train no one can stop
And act of thinking is terrible to stop
We just wanna change up, not drop
And my crew can rock it, like uprock
Life is tedious, if it ain't flowing
Copy
and
paste?
Constant defaulting?
Put my courage to it, begin showing off
That's the way we wanna live
Keep
going
Yeah
What was so much of transparency
Turned into bright expectation
My instinct tells me to keep going together
Going together
It's breathtaking moments in life
Addicted to it, minds craving more and more
I'm believing you and I can do anything
We can change the world
Hey, sky's the limit, we can spread wings
Through roadless travel, together we go
Satonaka!
Satonaka! Hey, Satonaka, snap out of it!
Satonaka...
Are you okay?
T-Those monsters...
They're gone.
Gone?
He took care of them.
What? Seriously?!
You're pretty amazing, you know that?
You called that thing a "Persona", right?
I don't really understand it myself, but...
Forget about that! Let's get out of here before something else shows up!
You say that, but...
How are we supposed to get out?
An exit?
We finally found you.
You seem to know a lot about this place.
More importantly, how did you get away from the Shadows?
"Shadows"? You mean those monsters?
That's right!
Don't tell me...
Did you set them on us?
Don't be stupid!
Do you know how much trouble you humans have caused me, coming in here and riling them up?!
Televisions?
Come on, time to leave. Get going.
I'm really busy!
Wait! What are you doing?
Watch it!
Look out!
Ouch...
That damn bear...
We're back!
All right!
It's so good to be alive!
Hey, quit taking advantage of me when I'm vulnerable!
What's wrong?
I saw this same poster back there.
The Enka Way
Misuzu
Hiiragi
The long awaited album from the young queen of enka

Hiiragi
The long awaited album from the young queen of enka
You're right! Hiiragi Misuzu...
She's been on the news a lot lately.
They say her husband had a fling with Yamano, that newscaster who died recently.
So you mean that this weird room back there...
It might have had something to do with Yamano's death.
Stop! Stop! My heart can't take any more of this.
More importantly, the toilet! The toilet! I need to pee!
I feel kind of cold, and a bit queasy, too.
Let's go home already.
Yesterday was a total nightmare, by the way.
What happened?
I'll tell you all about it later. Though you might not believe me.
You're Yukiko, right?
I've been waiting for you, Yukiko.
Who are you?
Hey, how about we go somewhere together?
Hey! You're scaring her!
Come on, Yukiko!
Hey, what school is that guy from?
Doesn't he know that Amagi's a lost cause?
Are you coming or not?
Make up your mind!
I'm... not.
Forget about it!
Damn girl...
Yo!
Good morning.
Oh, good morning!
That boy... I wonder what he wanted.
What do you mean? He was asking you on a date!
Really?
Do you even need to ask?
Man, you really are a heart breaker, Amagi.
You shot me down pretty brutally last year, too.
Really?
I don't remember doing anything like that.
Then how about we go out?
No thank you.
Right...
It's fine, though. I have someone I like.
Konishi-senpai, was it?
Yeah.
Though I've been mailing her since yesterday, and she hasn't responded.
Geez...
Another accident?
Huh? Where's Amagi?
She left. She got a call from home.
She said she had to help out at the inn.
"Inn"?
Oh. Yukiko's family runs the oldest and most famous inn around here.
She's going to take over there when she's older.
Senpai... What could she be up to?
I haven't received a single response.
Right then. The principal's going to address you now, so shut your mouths and listen!
If you talk, you're going right on my shitlist!
Now listen up.
I'm afraid that I have some bad news for all of you.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The body of Konishi Saki-san from 3-B was discovered early this morning.
Quiet, please.
Her teachers have determined that she was not a victim of bullying.
They say her body was hung up, just like Yamano's.
This time, it was from a telephone pole.
Hanamura...
Hey, did you guys watch Midnight Television last night?
Why are you talking about that now?!
Shut up and listen to me!
I had a bad feeling, so I watched it.
And I think the person I saw was Konishi-senpai.
Do you remember?
There was that guy going on about how Yamano was his one true love.
Y-Yeah...
And they were just saying that Senpai died in the same way as Yamano.
Is it just a coincidence?
You mean...
That if a person appears on Midnight Television... they'll die?
There was a poster of Hiiragi Misuzu inside the TV, right?
You think the world inside the TV has a connection to these accidents?
Yamano and Senpai might still be in that place!
Hanamura, you don't mean...
Hey, cut it out already!
We made it out once before.
And if we go in the same way we did last time, we might meet that bear again.
We don't know that for sure!
Okay. I'll go with you.
Seriously?
It'll be a huge help having you along.
Satonaka, hold this.
Hey! Are you guys serious?
Stop asking me that.
Okay, let's go!
Right.
Hey! Wait!
See? I told you. This is useless!
What should I do?
Ouch...
You guys!
You came back?!
It really is the same place as before.
There's something suspicious about you.
When the fog cleared, someone on your side shoved another person in here.
The fog?
When it's foggy out there, it's clear in here.
Now that you mention it...
It was foggy, both today, and on the day of Yamano's accident.
It seems like you can come here on your own.
I'll bet you can push people in, too!
That makes you prime suspects!
Cut the crap! Who would do something like th-
Perhaps...
...someone threw Yamano and Konishi-senpai into this world against their wills.
And I'm saying that you're the ones responsible!
Now, confess!
No way! I bet you're the one who brought Konishi-senpai here!
Take off that stupid bear costume and show me your face!
Stop it!
W-What the?!
There's nobody inside.
It's empty! What the hell is he?!
Thank you...
Narukami... nothing fazes you, huh?
I guess I'll believe that you're not the culprits.
That's a pretty sudden change of heart.
But in return, you have to help me find the real culprits!
You have to help me stop all of this!
The culprits?
I just want to live here in peace...
What's with this guy?
I don't have anyone else.
Do you promise you'll help?
Why would we want to do th-
Okay.
No way! You're actually agreeing?!
Well, I feel sort of sorry for him.
I'm so glad!
You're too soft-hearted, you know that?
Fine, I guess.
But you'd better help us, Kumakichi!
TL Note: Kumakichi is a bear character from the Great Detective Usami-chan segments of Gag Manga Biyori.
Hey, you can see really well with these!
By the way, doesn't this look just like the shopping district?
I think I saw a girl around her-
Hey, Kuma! Was it this girl?
That's right.
I saw her disappear into that shop over there.
That's Konishi-senpai's house.
Can you hear those voices too?
I wish Junes would just go bust!
I heard that Saki-chan, Konishi-san's daughter, is working there now.
Even though her own parents are struggling because of it!
What a horrible child.
Who's saying that?!
Stop it!
Hanamura!
How many times do I have to tell you, Saki?!
You're the eldest daughter of Konishi Sake!
Aren't you ashamed?!
Working at Junes, of all places!
Is that her father's voice?
Why can we hear it here?
Hey! Is anyone there?!
This is...
I gave this to her.
I could never tell him.
Konishi-senpai?!
Senpai?! Senpai!
Where are you?!
Could never tell Hana-chan that he...
That I...
...pissed me off.
I only became friends with him because he was the Junes Manager's son.
But he misunderstood and fell for me. It really pissed me off...
Pissed her off?
Screw Junes!
Our store, the shopping district, my parents...
...they can all go to hell!
You're lying!
You're lying! It's a lie!
Senpai wasn't like that!
It's so sad.
It's such a shame.
But the truth is, I was the one getting pissed off with everything.
Right, me?

There are two of him.
Who are you?
I'm you.
Me?
I know everything about you.
You said you came here for Konishi-senpai?
Drop the act.
You just wanted a little excitement, right?
You're bored to death out here in the sticks.
No, I would never...
You thought maybe, if all went according to plan, you could be a hero.
And you could just say that you were worried about your beloved senpai!
What are you?!
What are you talking about?!
I am a shadow...
Your true self.
I am your shadow.
Shut up! You're nothing like me!
Here it comes! The power!
You're not me!
Indeed! I'm my own self now!
I'm not you any more!
He turned into a Shadow!
Persona!
Are you okay, Hanamura?
That was amazing!
I didn't know you had that sort of power, Sensei!
No...
There's no way that I'm someone like that...
Those feelings came from your heart to begin with.
You're lying!
You play the fool because you're scared of being abandoned.
It's so sad to be left all alone, isn't it?
No!
That's not me! Those aren't my thoughts!
It's starting to resonate with the other Shadows in the area!
Sensei! If you don't stop it soon, it'll be too late!
I know everything about you!
You're truly pathetic.
Why don't we ask Hanamura?
The prince of Junes?
He's the manager's son. Everybody uses him.
What a joke.
You knew you were being used, but you just played along with it to make yourself look good, didn't you?
Stop it!
Here it comes!
All right!
But he misunderstood and fell for me. It really pissed me off...
You were bored to hell in that dump, right?
You just wanted a little excitement!
You're wrong!
Stop it!
You're wrong! You're wrong!
I'll put you out of your misery!
It's not like that!
Izanagi!
Oh. Wrong one.
What're you doing?!
You liked her, right?
Senpai.
Yeah...
I really did.
Then surely that's all that matters?
I... guess so.
You're blushing!
Shut up!
I knew it all along, really.
But it was so embarrassing, and I couldn't admit it to myself.
I tried my best to get along with everyone, and to make myself look good.
But there were people who just found me annoying.
Still, my feelings toward Senpai were true, at least.
So that thing's a part of me, huh?
Which means that I'm not really me without it.
You're starting to piss me off!
It's off balance. Now's your chance!
Izanagi!
You're me,
and I'm you.
This is my...
...Persona.
Narukami...
...I wouldn't have made it through this without you.
Thanks.
Ouch...
You're back!
What's wrong?
Don't give me "what's wrong?"!
The rope broke, and I didn't know what to do. I was so worried!
You make me so mad! I hate you!
I can't believe this. You guys are the worst!
I'm sorry, Satonaka.
Sorry.
Ten steaks.
What?
Ten steaks.
F-Fine. We'll treat you to steak as an apology.
Right, Narukami?
M-Me too?
Narukami-kun has to buy me beef noodles.
O-Okay...
Then I'll forgive you.
I'm completely beaten.
Yeah.
So Yamano and Konishi-senpai were thrown into such a dangerous place...
The people who are thrown in always end up being attacked by their own shadows, like Yousuke was.
If someone forced Senpai in there, I'll never forgive them.
We have to find the culprit, and put a stop to it.
We promised, after all.
Guess we did.
You know...
I feel like if I'm with you, we can find the culprit and solve this case.
I'm counting on you.
Right...
No time to waste, but make your pace
It's okay to remove copy and paste
I'm doing my way. You do it your way
Don't just follow your left, find the right way
Stereotypes
Too many hypes
I'm the epitome of new types
Having the fear is power to my soul
Cuz I overcome them
That's how I roll
Expose your thoughts
Don't be afraid of making mistakes
Rules prevailing in
That may be your greatest rival
Believe in faith and your heart
Your true soul
Stop being in the shades
Come on out in the open sun
Beauty of the child of destiny
Delightful days are rich with density of love
Thorny path, there's no easy way for real bliss
So I keep on fighting for beauty of destiny
So, what's it like being a high school student and an inn manager?
Well, I'm really just standing in for my mother...
You look beautiful in a kimono.
What?! N-No, I...
It's true that Yamano stayed at your inn right before her death, isn't it?
Y-Yes...
Dad's so late.
I have to do the dishes.
I'll help.
Okay!
Hanamura! Narukami-kun!
What's wrong?
Something bit me...
Good evening!
What's going on? What the heck is this?
See you later.
No! Don't come any closer!
Don't look at me!
