From start to finish, the entire scene that had been broadcasted to her from the shattered screen of her smartphone had been utterly captivating. Naoto had remained transfixed in place, gaze unwavering, until the broken device had finally returned to its inert state - and it was then that she had begun running.
She wanted to see with her own two eyes the entity that had risen from the pit. That had been her intention! But it was the sight of someone else altogether that had stopped the young detective in her tracks.
Naoto Shirogane would never be able to forget those she had left behind in Inaba. Those she thought she would never see again.
“Rise-san?! Rise-san!! Is that really you, Rise-san?!”
She cries out, voice rising in desperation as she reaches towards that familiar silhouette that stepped daintily down the hallway.
Had she been this close all this time?
