School intercom: All Student Health Association members, please report to the infirmary immediately…
Saki Konishi’s brother: *sigh* Student Health Association members, huh?
[CHOICES:]
- “Let’s go.”
- “Go.”
- “You don’t have to go.”
[CHOICE ONE]
> "Let’s go.“
Saki Konishi’s brother: No thanks, I’ll go by myself.
> You were bluntly refused…
[CHOICE TWO]
> "Go.”
Saki Konishi’s brother: You’re right.
Saki Konishi’s brother: If they’re allowing a downer like me to be somewhere, then
that’s where I should probably be.
> It seems like he’s an earnest person…
[CHOICE THREE]
> "You don’t have to go.“
Saki Konishi’s brother: Well… I could just leave, but…
Saki Konishi’s brother: I wouldn’t feel right about it, when all the other
members are working.
> It seems like he’s an earnest person…
Male student: Hey, you’re Yu-kun, right?
Male student: A teacher said you’re filling in for an absent health committee
member, so you have to go, too.
Male student: I told you, okay? You better go, or else I’ll get suspended!
Saki Konishi’s brother: Haha… You got dragged in again.
Saki Konishi’s brother: I have to turn in some notes, so I’ll join you later.
Just go on ahead.
> Apparently you are in the Student Health Association for another day…
> You hurried to the infirmary…
Female student: Yu-kun…? You got called in again?
> You told them about how you were drafted into the Student Health Association…
Female student: Really? Well, we’re still low on members, so
I’m grateful.
Male student: I really wish they didn’t call us in today. Heck, half the people
here are saying they have dates or something.
Male student: Plus, we have to take inventory? That’s such BS… Man, Konishi
has it easy.
Female student: I heard that he’s exempt from homework. Is that true?
Male student: What the hell!? That’s so unfair!

Male student’s voice: It’s okay. I don’t mind…

Female student: O-Okay, back to work!

[Either choice results in the same dialogue.]
Saki Konishi’s brother: …I didn’t want to just leave when
everyone else was still working.
Saki Konishi’s brother: I just felt like I…
Saki Konishi’s brother: ……
Saki Konishi’s brother: Oh… Your sleeve has dirt on it.
Saki Konishi’s brother: …It was because of inventory, huh?
Saki Konishi’s brother: Haha… I’m sorry, I was supposed to help with that…
Saki Konishi’s brother: ……
Saki Konishi’s brother: Use this…

> You parted ways with Saki Konishi’s brother and went home…
RANK ONE:
Saki Konishi’s brother: You could’ve just thrown that
away…
Saki Konishi’s brother: ……
Saki Konishi’s brother: This was my sister’s handkerchief.
Saki Konishi’s brother: My mom put it in my bag by mistake…
Saki Konishi’s brother: No one ever uses it anymore, so…
Saki Konishi’s brother: I’m sure the handkerchief is glad to have been able to
fulfill its duty.
Saki Konishi’s brother: …Thanks.
> He expressed his gratitude…
[CHOICES:]

[CHOICE ONE]
> "No, thank you.“
Saki Konishi’s brother: No… I-It’s okay, really…
[CHOICE TWO]
> "Thanks for what…?”
Saki Konishi’s brother: No… it was just… I was happy.
Saki Konishi’s brother: It’s been a while since I talked to someone without the
conversation immediately becoming awkward…
[CHOICE THREE]
> "It was a big help.“
Saki Konishi’s brother: No… I-It’s okay, really…
Saki Konishi’s brother: Oh, I’m Naoki Konishi.
Naoki Konishi: Um, I apologize for saying I hated you when I first met you.
[CHOICES:]
- "I didn’t mind.”

> You may earn an EXP bonus when fusing Personas of the Hanged Man Arcana!
Naoki: Last time, when I came to that meeting, I made
everyone feel uneasy, right?
Naoki: After that, I was officially "fired” from the Association.
They told me not to come to meetings anymore.
Naoki: Well, it’s my own fault…
Naoki: …Left behind again.
Naoki: ……
Naoki: If it’s okay with you, maybe we can have fun together.
Naoki: I’m usually by our liquor store at the beginning of the week.
Naoki: I’m helping out there…
Naoki: Well… I’ll be going.
> You parted ways with Naoki and went home.
RANK TWO:
> Central shopping district, Chinese Diner Aiya…
> You came with Naoki, who has finished helping his parents…
Naoki: This place is pretty good, huh?
Naoki: I usually eat here a lot because it’s so close to our place, but for some
reason, I haven’t eaten here recently.
[CHOICES:]
- “Too busy?”
- “Tired of the food?”
- “Because of the murder?”
[CHOICE ONE]
> "Too busy?“
Naoki: No… I’m actually pretty free right now, especially now that I’m not part of the Student Health Association.
> Naoki is smiling wryly.
[CHOICE TWO]
> "Tired of the food?”
Naoki: Nah. I’ve been coming here since I was a kid, but for some reason I’ve never really gotten tired of it…
> Naoki is tilting his head.
[CHOICE THREE]
> "Because of the murder?“
Naoki: Hmmmm… You’re right, actually…
Naoki: I feel like everyone’s staring at me…
> Naoki is smiling wryly.
Naoki: The liquor store is pretty busy, but… I can’t do
much to help.
Naoki: I mean, it’s actually not our business that’s busy…
Naoki: ……
Naoki: Most of the media has stopped coming around, but if there’s nothing new to
report on, sometimes they’ll pop up…
Naoki: Lately, the neighbours have been coming one after the other…
"Poor thing,” they’ll sob.
Naoki: Even the lady from the neighbourhood association came. Funny how she never
actually spoke to Sis before…
Naoki: Then they all tell me, “You need to live an admirable life for your
sister’s sake.”
Naoki: It’s suffocating.
Naoki: I mean… What exactly is an “admirable life,” anyway?
[CHOICES:]
- “Contributing to society.”
- “Making your parents happy.”
- “Leaving something behind.”
- “I don’t know.”
[CHOICE ONE]
> "Contributing to society.“
Naoki: Contributing to society…
Naoki: Like… becoming a politician?
> Naoki is tilting his head.
[CHOICE TWO]
> "Making your parents happy.”
Naoki: So… Making my parents happy is living admirably…?
Naoki: Hm… I guess I can see that.
> Naoki is thinking.
[CHOICE THREE]
> "Leaving something behind.“
Naoki: Like inventing something?
Naoki: I doubt I’d be able to make anything useful…
> Naoki is smiling wryly…
[CHOICE FOUR]
> "I don’t know.”
Naoki: So you’re looking for an answer, too?
Naoki: Living is hard, huh? Even though we’re already going through it… it’s like
we’re still learning how.
> Naoki laughs awkwardly…
Naoki: Oh, I’m sorry. I just seem to talk about odd things when I’m around you.
> You feel that Naoki is slowly opening up to you.
> The Saki’s Brother Social Link has reached level 2!
> Your power to create Personas of the Hanged Man Arcana has grown!
Naoki: Anyway, let’s eat. Chinese food isn’t good once it
gets cold.
Naoki: Haha, the chef’s glaring at us.
> You went home after eating with Naoki.
RANK THREE:
> Central Shopping District, Souzai Daigaku…
> You came here with Naoki, who has finished helping his parents…
Naoki: …Then Masaya made up an excuse for why he was late,
and he said, “The wind was really strong.”
Naoki: The teacher got really pissed. “Shut your eyes, all of you!”
he yelled, and started scolding us…
Naoki: But no one knew why we had to close our eyes, so it was really awkward…
Naoki: After scolding us, he starts class and he yells out, “Who wants to answer?
I know! Masaya, answer the question!”
Naoki: And Masaya says, “I can’t see the board with my eyes closed.”
Naoki: The teacher lost it right there, and the class became a free period.
> Naoki is laughing like he’s having a good time…
[CHOICES:]
- Ask him to tell another story
- Tell your own tale of failure
- Tell an American joke
[CHOICE ONE]
> Ask him to tell another story
Naoki: Something else…? Okay, here’s something that
happened recently.
Naoki: I slipped off the road, fell into a rice field, and left a perfect imprint
in the rice plants.
Naoki: Then the next day, the owner was complaining about someone damaging his field
and went looking for the culprit.
Naoki: He started calling out all the kids in the neighbourhood and making them
lay down in the imprint, like in Cinderella…
Naoki: “No, the arms are too short!” “His head’s too big!”
and on and on…
Naoki: I went over to apologize to him, but when I did, I started cracking up, and
he got SO ticked.
> Naoki lets out an embarrassed laugh.
[CHOICE TWO]
> Tell your own tale of failure
> You told Naoki a funny story about an embarrassing moment of your own.
Naoki: Hahahahahaha!
Naoki: R-Really!? Oh, man! That’s hilarious!
> Naoki is overcome with laughter.
[CHOICE THREE]
> Tell an American joke
> You told Naoki an American joke filled with wit.
Naoki: Um… is that it? Was I supposed to laugh there?
Naoki: Sorry, I didn’t get it at all. You must have a different sense of humour.
> Naoki is impressed.
Naoki: Haha… I feel like it’s been a while since I laughed.
> Naoki’s expression looks gentle…
Passing housewife: That child, remember? The liquor stores…
Loud-Mouthed Housewife: Konishi-san’s son, right?
Naoki: ……
Passing housewife: Their daughter was killed.
Loud-Mouthed Housewife: Poor thing.
Passing housewife: A psychic on TV said that their ancestors committed some sin…
Loud-Mouthed Housewife: I heard their store faces the northeast, and that’s what’s
bringing in all the bad luck.
Passing housewife: But that boy looked cheerful. You’d figure he would be sad.
Passing housewife: That’s pretty cold of him.
Loud-Mouthed Housewife: Siblings close in age aren’t that friendly to each other.
My son and daughter are…
Naoki: ……
> Naoki is biting his lip…
[CHOICES:]
- “I’ll go tell them off.”
- “You’re not saying anything?”
- “Let the gossipers gossip.”
[CHOICE ONE]
> "I’ll go tell them off.
Naoki: No, it’s okay… They’re not worth your time…
> It looks like Naoki cheered up a bit.
[CHOICE TWO]
> "You’re not saying anything?“
Naoki: It’s okay.
> Naoki shrugs…
[CHOICE THREE]
> "Let the gossipers gossip.”
Naoki: You’re right… Why do I care about what random people think? I know someone understands me, and that’s enough.
> It looks like Naoki cheered up a bit.
Naoki: Those “roving eyes” are always around
somewhere…
Naoki: I’m used to it, though…
Naoki: It seems they’re not satisfied unless I look like a victim.
Naoki: That’s why it’s been so long since I’ve talked to anyone about stupid things
and just laughed… It’s fun.
> Naoki is smiling cheerfully…
> You feel your relationship with Naoki has grown still deeper…
> The Saki’s Brother Social Link has reached level 3!
> Your power to create Personas of the Hanged Man Arcana has grown!
Naoki: Haha… I’m sorry. I probably made you feel uneasy,
huh?
Naoki: Let’s go home…
> You parted ways with Naoki and went home.
RANK FOUR:
Passing housewife: Naoki-kun!
Passing housewife: Are you coming back from school? You shouldn’t be wasting time
here!
Passing housewife: Don’t you think your parents are worried with you wandering
about, just like your sister did?
Passing housewife: You’re not helping out at the store? I hear your father’s having
a hard time.
Naoki: …Hmph.
Passing housewife: Don’t “hmph” me.
Passing housewife: I know it’s tough, with what happened to your sister…
Passing housewife: But in times like these, a family has to unite and help each
other out, right?
Passing housewife: Look, I’m just trying to help you and your family out. That attitude
isn’t very nice.
Naoki: ……
> Naoki looks distressed…
[CHOICES:]
- Talk back to the lady
- Flatter the lady
- Keep quiet
[CHOICE ONE]
> Talk back to the lady
Naoki: I-It’s okay, Yu-san…
> Naoki looks troubled, but looks slightly happier.
[CHOICE TWO]
> Flatter the lady
Passing housewife: No, really? Do I really look that young?
> You successfully diverted the lady’s attention…
> You can sense Naoki’s relief…
[CHOICE THREE]
> Keep quiet
Passing housewife: I’ll be going now. Naoki-kun, keep your
chin up, and think about your family!
Naoki: I’m sorry… It’s a little awkward to be around me, huh?
[CHOICES:]
- “It’s not your fault.”
- “Let’s forget about it.”
[CHOICE ONE]
> "It’s not your fault.“
Naoki: Yeah…?
> Naoki looks happy…
[CHOICE TWO]
> "Let’s forget about it.”
Naoki: That’s a good idea. Actually, I’m kinda getting used to it now…
> Naoki shrugs.
Naoki: If you weren’t here… I would’ve been in a
predicament.
Naoki: Since my family runs a business here, we have to stay on good terms with
the neighbours… So I can’t yell at them.
Naoki: …Thank you.
> You empathize with Naoki’s distress…
> You feel your relationship with Naoki has grown still deeper…
> The Saki’s Brother Social Link has reached level 4!
> Your power to create Personas of the Hanged Man Arcana has grown!
Naoki: I’m sorry. I’m… gonna go home now.
Naoki: We’ll eat together next time…
> You parted with Naoki and went home.
RANK FIVE:
> Central shopping district, Chinese Diner Aiya…
Naoki: Yeah… So that thing I wanted to tell you was…
Naoki: I’m thinking about quitting school.
Naoki: I might take over the liquor shop.
Naoki: I really wasn’t interested in our family’s business… Honestly, I’m
still not, but…
Naoki: When that woman told me that our family should unite, I knew she had a
point…
Naoki: ……
[CHOICES:]
- “That’s a good idea.”
- “I don’t know about that…”
[CHOICE ONE]
> "That’s a good idea.“
Naoki: It is, huh…?
> Naoki is nodding…
[CHOICE TWO]
> "I don’t know about that…”
Naoki: Then what can I do to satisfy those neighbours…?
> Naoki is biting his lip…
Naoki: Up until now, I never even thought about taking over
the liquor store.
Naoki: It’s hard for me to say to you, but… As long as Junes is there, I know
our shop has no future.
Naoki: It’s not like it’s a store with a long tradition, so I thought it’d end with
Dad’s generation when he retired…
Naoki: But… Now I think I don’t have any other choice.
Naoki: …I have to do it.
[CHOICES:]
- “Good luck, Naoki.”
- “You’ve got other choices.”
- “You should think it over.”
[All choices results in the same dialogue.]
Naoki: Why did Sis die?
Naoki: Er… I don’t mean how she died… I don’t want to know what killed her.
Naoki: But… Why did she have to die…?
Naoki: Inadvertently dragging me and my parents down with her…
Naoki: Why did everything end up this way…?
> You quietly listened to Naoki’s worries about his life…
> You feel like you were able to support him
> The Saki’s Brother Social Link has reached level 5!
> Your power to create Personas of the Hanged Man Arcana has grown!
Naoki: …I’ll talk with my parents.
Naoki: I think they’ll be happy about it.
Naoki: Then I’ll be a productive member of society and live an admirable life.
Haha…
> You went home after eating with Naoki.
RANK SIX:
> Central shopping district, Chinese Diner Aiya…
Naoki: You remember how I talked about quitting school? I
told my parents my plan.
Naoki: They were really against it…
Naoki: They told me, “That’s not what we want. Live the way you want
to.”
Naoki: ……
Naoki: Then they asked, “You hate school, don’t you? You’re just running
away from it.”
Naoki: They got all suspicious of me suddenly. I wasn’t expecting that at all.
[CHOICES:]
- “I wouldn’t have, either.”
- “Just forget about them.”
- “Don’t worry them too much.”
[CHOICE ONE]
> "I wouldn’t have, either.“
Naoki: I was just stunned. I couldn’t even think of anything to say to them.
> Naoki is biting his lip…
[CHOICE TWO]
> "Just forget about them.”
Naoki: But… When they said that, I started to think that maybe they were right…
> Naoki is biting his lip…
[CHOICE THREE]
> "Don’t worry them too much.“
Naoki: But I was thinking about helping out with the shop in the first place so they wouldn’t worry…
> Naoki is smiling wryly…
Naoki: If I wanted to run, I could do that forever.
Naoki: Since everyone’s being so kind to me.
Naoki: Not just the Health Association… The class chores, club activities… Everyone
says I can just do whatever.
Naoki: Even the teachers just allow me to take tests home. If I show up late, if
I leave early, I don’t get penalized.
Naoki: None of my actions have consequences. I can’t tell if I’m right or wrong,
since everyone reacts the same either way.
Naoki: No one gives me orders. They just tell me to "take it easy.”
Naoki: Then they take all responsibility away from me. Eventually, it doesn’t
matter if I’m even there.
Naoki: I don’t have to do anything… I don’t even have to exist.
Naoki: Am I really that pitiable…?
[CHOICES:]
- “Yeah, you are.”
- “You’re not the only one.”
- “I know what they mean.”
[CHOICE ONE]
> "Yeah, you are.“
Naoki: I guess I am…
Naoki: If a friend’s family member was killed, I might think the same way and
alienate him, too.
Naoki: I guess nobody really knows what to do in this situation, huh?
> Naoki is nodding sadly…
[CHOICE TWO]
> "You’re not the only one.”
Naoki: …I know.
> Naoki is biting his lip.
[CHOICE THREE]
> "I know what they mean.“
Naoki: Yes, I think I understand their point of view…
Naoki: If a friend’s family member was killed, I might think the same way and
alienate him, too.
Naoki: I guess nobody really knows what to do in this situation, huh?
> Naoki is nodding sadly…
Naoki: What should I do…?
Naoki: Should I just keep going around and telling people not to treat me
special, like I’ve been doing?
Naoki: Should I act like Sis never existed?
Naoki: Being stared at… Being pitied… Being alienated by my friends…
Naoki: Should I just pretend not to notice?
Naoki: Until everyone gets tired of it?
Naoki: When they do get tired of it…
Naoki: Won’t I be alone?
Naoki: I’m sorry… I’m just rambling… I really don’t know what I’m saying
right now…
> You can feel that Naoki is trying to open his heart to you…
> The Saki’s Brother Social Link has reached level 6!
> Your power to create Personas of the Hanged Man Arcana has grown!
Naoki: Haha… I’m sorry. It’s not a good subject to talk
about while eating…
Naoki: Lately, I don’t even taste my food…
> You went home after eating with Naoki.
RANK SEVEN:
> Central shopping district, Chinese Diner Aiya…
Naoki: Um, sorry about last time… How I kept talking about
all that nonsense…
Naoki: I wanted to apologize for that.
[CHOICES:]
- "I don’t mind.”
- “Last time?”
[CHOICE ONE]
> "I don’t mind.“
Naoki: …You’re so strange.
Naoki: You don’t distance yourself from me like everyone else… Or preach to
me like you know everything…
Naoki: I feel comfortable around you.
> Naoki looks happy…
[CHOICE TWO]
> "Last time?”
Naoki: Oh, it’s okay. If you don’t remember, then that’s
fine.
Naoki: I dumped on you a lot of emotional stuff that you couldn’t have done anything
about… so I kinda felt bad.
> Naoki looks relieved.
Naoki: …You know, I like cream puffs. I know it’s kinda
girlish.
Naoki: There’s a good cream puff shop by our house, so every once in a while I’ll
buy some and take them home.
Naoki: If I put them in the fridge, Sis would eat ‘em.
Naoki: She’d make up some lame excuse like, “I ate them for you since they
were about to expire.”
Naoki: So we’d always get into fights over the cream puffs.
Naoki: But now… the cream puffs don’t disappear. I bought some, and they
expired in the fridge.
Naoki: When I saw that, I thought, “Oh, maybe…”
Naoki: “Maybe Sis isn’t here anymore,” y'know.
Naoki: So I threw them away.
Naoki: I told you before, “If you ask me if I hate the killer, the answer
is no.”
Naoki: The truth is, it’s not even a no… I don’t know anything.
Naoki: I have a meaningless daily life…
Naoki: Just confused parents and a dark house. Just rotting cream puffs…
Naoki: How do I get out from that…? What would be best for me, for Sis…? I
just don’t know.
[CHOICES:]
- “Take your time.”
- “Take action.”
[CHOICE ONE]
> "Take your time.“
Naoki: But the more I wait, the more time goes by, and I’ll
be older than Sis before I figure anything out.
Naoki: That won’t be good…
> Naoki is grimacing…
[CHOICE TWO]
> "Take action.”
Naoki: I know…
> Naoki sighed and nodded…
Naoki: I know I’m stagnating. I know it’s not good, I know
that I need to move…
Naoki: I know all that…
> You quietly listened to Naoki’s worries…
> You feel like you were able to support him.
> The Saki’s Brother Social Link has reached level 7!
> Your power to create Personas of the Hanged Man Arcana has grown!
Naoki: Come to think of it… Sometimes Sis would bring
cream puffs back from her job at Junes…
Naoki: We would eat them and complain that Junes’ brand tasted bad.
Naoki: Sis looked like she was having a hard time working at Junes.
Naoki: But she said it would eventually be for the sake of our store…
Naoki: She’d play around, but… Sometimes she acted like the eldest sibling.
Naoki: That always irked me…
Naoki: Umm…
Naoki: N-Next time, will you go to Junes with me?
Naoki: I’d like to check it out…
> You promised to go to Junes with Naoki next time…
> You went home after eating with Naoki.
RANK EIGHT:
> Junes food court…
> You just finished walking around all of Junes…
Naoki: The grocery department downstairs was incredible.
Naoki: And they had so many kinds of liquor, at prices much lower than ours…
There’s no way we could win.
Naoki: But we’ve been doing well lately… After Sis’s murder, there are some people
who buy from us out of pity.
Naoki: Ironic, isn’t it…?
[CHOICES:]
- “They’re trying to be kind.”
- “Charge 'em extra.”
[CHOICE ONE]
> "They’re trying to be kind.“
Naoki: It’s better than selling nothing, so I don’t mind.
[CHOICE TWO]
> "Charge 'em extra.”
Naoki: Good idea…
Naoki: We make money, they get to be hypocrites…
> Naoki is looking the other way…
Naoki: But… it’s over for us. Our family is in shambles.
Naoki: My parents won’t even speak a word about Sis.
Naoki: They try to act as if she never existed… Then at night, they cry…
Naoki: What can I do…?
Familiar voice: Huh? Yu?
Yosuke: Aren’t you Saki-senpai’s…?
Naoki: This is the first time I’ve been to Junes…
Naoki: I don’t really have anything to do with our store, and I don’t hold any grudge
against you, but…
Naoki: It’s just that my parents and the neighbors would have said something,
so I never bothered.
Yosuke: We’re in the same boat, buddy.
Naoki: …I see.
Naoki: ……
Naoki: It’s incredibly huge, huh…? I’m full just looking at all the food
here…
Naoki: It’s like its own country.
Yosuke: Your sister said that too…
Naoki: ……
Yosuke: You two do kinda look alike. You have the same chin… The nose and
eyes, too.
Naoki: Stop it…
Naoki: My sister isn’t here anymore.
Yosuke: Lonely, huh…?
Naoki: …Shut up.
Naoki: Just stop it! What do you know about me!?
Yosuke: …She told me she was proud of you. She boasted about you.
Naoki: ……
Yosuke: I liked your sister.
Naoki: Past tense, huh?
Yosuke: I’m doing what I can right now for my sake… And your sister’s.
Yosuke: If you just sit there crying, you’re just troubling her, y'know?
Naoki: ……
Naoki: I’m not crying…
Naoki: ……
Yosuke: Alright, today is grilled steak day. I’ll go grab three.
Yosuke: Oh, Yu? You’ll have to pay for your own.
Naoki: ……
Naoki: Yosuke-san sure is nosy. Oh wait, so are you…
[CHOICES:]
- “Don’t lump me in with him.”
- “We can’t just ignore you.”
[CHOICE ONE]
> "Don’t lump me in with him.“
Naoki: Haha. That look of disgust on your face…
Naoki: But you really are nosy. Hanging out with the likes of me…
> Naoki is smiling wryly…
[CHOICE TWO]
> "We can’t just ignore you.”
Naoki: Am I that pitiable?
Naoki: No, that’s not it… It’s different with you. You’re not being kind to
me because of that…
Naoki: I’m sorry.
> Naoki apologized sincerely…
Naoki: I’m glad I saw where Sis worked.
Naoki: I’m sure I could never have come by myself… I wouldn’t have even
thought about it.
Naoki: Thank you.
> You can feel that Naoki is opening up his heart to you…

RANK NINE:
> The scene of the second victim’s discovery…
Naoki: This is it… Where they found Sis…
Naoki: ……
Naoki: This whole time, I could never bring myself to pass through here.
Naoki: I was afraid of remembering Sis, and thinking about how… How her body
ended up.
Naoki: But now, I feel like I can finally accept the truth…
Naoki: …You know how it is in TV dramas?
Naoki: People cry for days on end, or their sad memories come back and torment
them…
Naoki: It wasn’t like that for me. I was the same as ever…
Naoki: So I thought… I thought I was a cold human being…
Naoki: Because I wasn’t able to cry like the actors on TV, I thought that maybe
I didn’t actually like Sis…
[CHOICES:]
- “That’s not true.”
- “People are different.”
- “You’re just inept.”
[CHOICE ONE]

Naoki: Yes… I know now that it isn’t.
Naoki: Talking with you made me realize that…
> Naoki is nodding with gentle eyes…
[CHOICE TWO]
> "People are different.”
Naoki: You’re right…
Naoki: Just because I’m not like a character on TV doesn’t mean I’m wrong or
strange.
Naoki: Talking with you… little by little, I started to understand that.
> Naoki is nodding gratefully.
[CHOICE THREE]
> "You’re just inept.
Naoki: Yes… I really am.
Naoki: Talking with you… I finally started to understand that.
> Naoki lets out an embarrassed laugh…
Naoki: I was just trying not to think about Sis…
Naoki: It was easier for me to tell myself that I was a cold person than to
think about Sis and suffer.
Naoki: I kept running away from the pain… I never let myself think about her.
Naoki: She must’ve wanted to live more, huh?
[CHOICES:]
- “Yeah, I’m sure of it.”
- “I don’t know.”
- “Live for her sake.”
[CHOICE ONE]
> "Yeah, I’m sure of it.“
Naoki: Poor Sis…
[CHOICE TWO]
> "I don’t know.”
Naoki: Only Sis knows the answer… But she’s not here
anymore…
Naoki: She can’t even think of anything, say anything, or even smile…!
[CHOICE THREE]
> "Live for her sake.“
Naoki: Yes… You’re right. That’s the only thing I can do for her now…
> Naoki finally let go and started crying…
Naoki: I wanted her to live more..
Naoki: I wanted her to live…
> Naoki is biting his lip…
[CHOICES:]
- "It was out of your hands.”
- “She can hear you.”
- “Just let it all out, Naoki.”
[CHOICE ONE]
> "It was out of your hands.“
Naoki: It’s so unfair… Why did she have to…?

[CHOICE TWO]

> You parted ways with Naoki and went home.
RANK TEN:
> Samegawa riverbank…
> Naoki took you here…
Naoki: I played with Sis here once… A long time ago…
Naoki: Sis was pretty agile, so she’d cross the river by jumping from rock to
rock…
Naoki: I was scared, so I just watched from this side… Then Sis waved at me, and
disappeared into that grove over there…
Naoki: I cried like hell.
Naoki: While I was crying, Sis crossed the bridge without me noticing and yelled
right behind me. I pissed my pants…
Naoki: Haha… Lately, that’s all I’ve been remembering.
Naoki: ……
Naoki: I think it’s the same way now.
Naoki: There’s a river separating us. Sis is gone, and I’m still here.
Naoki: Sis has crossed over to the other bank, and I’m still on this one…
Naoki: No matter how much I cry or piss my pants, I know she isn’t coming back…
Naoki: I’ve been trying not to think about it all this time… But I finally fell
I can face reality.
Naoki: It’s all thanks to you.
[CHOICES:]

[CHOICE ONE]
> "I didn’t do anything.“
Naoki: No, you did everything. You talked to me, you listened to me…
> Naoki started talking seriously…
[CHOICE TWO]
> "That’s right. Be grateful.”
Naoki: Haha. I am, really.
> Naoki’s smile is completely free of worry.
Naoki: I… I thought that there was no point to my existence.
Naoki: But I was really happy… to find that there was someone out there who would
actually devote time to me.
Naoki: That’s why I was able to do this. …Here, check it out.
> Obtained Junes Receipt.
Naoki: It’s not just a receipt to me. It’s not just a normal
purchase like it would be for someone else.
Naoki: I wanted… to give it to you.
> Naoki is smiling cheerfully…
> You feel as if you and Naoki have formed a tight bond…
Thou art I… And I am thou…
Thou hast established a genuine bond…
These genuine bonds… shall be your eyes to see the truth.

Naoki: I’m thinking of helping out at the store. I’ll stay
in school, though, so it’ll only be after school and on holidays.
Naoki: The rest of our family has yet to really accept Sis’s death.
Naoki: I thought we all needed to bond… And working at the store’s the first step
I can take towards uniting the family
Naoki: Yu-san… Please come visit our store.
Naoki: I’ll make it so successful, you’ll think, “Junes-who?”
