Come in.
Chief...
Chiikorin hasn't arrived yet...
Chiikorin?
Yes, Chiikorin...

The Winter Traffic Safety Campaign
There's been a record-breaking amount of snowfall in the Kanto area...
And the major transportation services are grounded.
Chiikorin, our scheduled "Chief For A Day", is stuck at the airport...
So she can't make it, huh?
Oh, I didn't know you liked that... Chin...
Chiikorin!
Does it matter?
Yes, it does! You're too old for this stuff...
I can't help it. The idols these days are as young as my daughter...
We will cancel Chiikorin's Welcoming and Chief Appointment Ceremony...
as well as the publicity work with the Mayor. Please inform each area.
We will conduct the Traffic Safety Event with local organizations without Chiikorin.
Supervisors may continue to prep the event as planned.
Yes, sir.
Chief...
Should we really have the event without Chiikorin?
Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do.
Chiikorin won't make it here, Narasaki-kun.
But we planned this event with the condition of her being here...
It's not easy for me, either... How long did I wait for this day to come?
Why don't we find a replacement for her from among the residents?
It'll be like a Miss Tulip contest.
But the event is today. It's too...
Fine.
Vice Chief, please take care of it.
Yes.
Huh?
Kanzato-kun?
Kayano.
Takuro?
I think he's still asleep.
He didn't answer when I called earlier.
Oh...
I don't blame him.
He really cares for his friends.
Takuro and I are...
Don't ever draw that thing out again, okay?
Persona, right? That thing?
We should call the police if that happens again.
Kayano...
Chiikorin is supposed to attend an event at Kaihin Park today.
Huh?
You should take Takuro there with you.
Sure...
Where are you going?
To the hospital.
Visiting my senpai.
Oh, that's my brother.
What?
He wanted to see the dormitories.
I'm Kanzato Jun.
I'm Kayano Megumi. Nice to meet you.
We don't look alike, huh? We get that all the time.
That's not something you should say, even if you think so.
You're pretty much confirming it.
Oops...
Hey.
Inui-san!
Hello.
Wait...
Wh-what is it?
You're not allowed to have pets at the dorms, right?
R-right... but why do you ask?
How am I supposed to look for one?
That's...
Oops.
Detective!
Hey...
Um... where is this place?
Before I realized it, I was standing here.
...It happens to me sometimes. Isn't it strange?
W-well... right...
Oh, come closer.
You're... pretty cute.
Oh, I mean, not like that.
I mean...
Do you wanna do it today?
Ah! Really, it's not like that!
Ayanagi Police Station Toyama Prefecture
I see. That's unfortunate.
No, actually, I'm glad it happened.
Now we have less press interviews to deal with. I'm not too fond of celebrity events.
But you know publicity work is also an important part of your job.
You shouldn't take Chiikorin so lightly.
Well, that wasn't my intention.
Personally, I think Hukorin is more suitable as Chief for a Day than Chiikorin.
That's just my view based on the way she carries herself as a cosplay idol...
So I'm sure others will disagree depending on who is labeled as more niche.
I wouldn't blame you if you picked Chiikorin based on her popularity.
You made the right choice.
However, it wasn't my decision.
Or, you could've gone with Mikorin, who's grown popular after having throat surgery.
But that would've been difficult to arrange not knowing her recovery status.
If anything, Yokorin would've been a decent choice.
Only thing is, she's already done the Chief for a Day once.
You sound like you know a lot about this.
This is all common sense.
Now, let's get back to business.
Listen...
Let me call you back.
Come in.
Sorry to have you come in on your day off.
That's the only way to deal with this sudden order to arbitrarily reposition.
I can't guarantee I'll be of any help, even if you place me closer to you.
It was the irregular transfers due to the expansion of the systems.
I didn't use my authority to make you come here at all.
Oh, is that right?
Try to stay away from me at work. Avoid coming to this office, too.
Chief!
I'll be temporarily positioned here as of tomorrow by the NNIL.
I'm Nikaido Eiko.
I'm Kubo, the Vice Chief.
This is the supervisor of the Criminal Department, Ito-kun. I'm Kubo, the Vice Chief.
This is the supervisor of the Criminal Department, Ito-kun.
Hello.
Anyway, Chief, about our Chief for a Day...
I mean, it's more like a Chief for a Half-Day now...
We received a call from the office in Shintomi...
about a very charming girl who just turned in a lost item.
And that she seemed interested in being the Chief for a Day...
Also, Narasaki said...
This is Kanzato.
Go ahead.
Hello? What is it?
Really?
I just spotted a man who I suspect to be an Apathy Syndrome patient...
Ahhh! He's reversing!
Where are you at? I'll be there right away.
I'm leaving the rest of the event up to you.
I said, I'm not drunk!
My apologies!
I was ordered to report directly to you...
regarding Apathy Syndrome and "Reverse" cases...
What a waste of time...
Hey, you! What's the matter? Are you alright?
Ayanagi Police Station Toyama Prefecture
What? Are you serious? Chiikorin isn't coming anymore?
Ayanagi Police Station Toyama Prefecture
Yeah, I'm serious.
Kanaru?
Megumi-san...
We're here to help, but...
What are we supposed to-?
Hmph. You two aren't too far from looking like Chiikorin.
Let's get them into wardrobe.
Vice Chief!
What is it?
What!?
Visitors?
Yeah... That's what he said, when I asked who they were.
"They?" So there are more of those ridiculous people?
The incident at the karaoke shop could also be...
Doesn't your bro know anything?
He's the Chief at Ayanagi Police Station, right?
Right, yeah...
I'm sure he knows something, but...
Um... He's got to deal with confidentiality...
Actually, we haven't even really talked.
Ever since we've been back, he doesn't tell us anything but to leave.
Is that true?
Yes.
"Leave?" But why?
So... what do you think about your brother, then?
I don't know.
You're rather dry...
Oh, oops. Chiikorin is coming to Kaihin Park today.
Wanna come with?
We better get there early, or all the front-row seats will be taken.
I'm gonna believe that Takashi is still alive somewhere.
He might still be alive, even if he got his Persona taken.
They actually don't exist in this world anymore.
I can't take it unless I kill him.
It's not like you saw those missing kids, right?
You're right.
I-I'm sorry. I got dizzy from not eating.
You should take this off. You must be suffocating in there.
O-oh, no, that's...
Anyone up for some takoyaki!?
You're hungry, right?
Hold on.
Th-that was close.
There's nothing we can do. He's gone.
No! I want a balloon from the bear!
We'll find balloons somewhere else!
I don't wanna!
We gathered everyone from the Criminal Department.
The ransom exchange will be conducted two hours from now...
at the Kaihin Park event hall.
Please, report to the Chief quickly.
Yes.
I wonder if the threat is real?
About killing the children and going on a shooting spree if any officials get involved.
We mustn't give in.
Our top priority is to save the two sons of the Hiiragi Pharmaceutical CEO.
Let's go, already!
The bear!
Oh, there he is.
Mr. Bear!
Thank you!
You know a person is inside the suit, right?
That's not true! He's real!
There was a call from the culprit to President Hiiragi.
The culprit claimed that he will contact us with the final details during the event.
Even if...
It's a little stuffy in here...
Even if you spot the culprit at the event hall, do not make contact.
Again, the safety of the hostages is our top priority.
Please, follow my orders while the Chief is absent.
We'll ask one of our officers to be the Chief for a Day instead.
Those two can go home now.
Yes...
Wait!
We are gonna do this!
Y-you two, how did you?
We're sorry, but we were listening outside...
We can't believe anyone would kidnap little children for money!
If we can be of any help...
I couldn't do this alone, but if there were two of us...
Don't be stupid!
But we're the chiefs for today, right?
That's different from this...
Let's have them help us.
It would be strange if we used one of our officers or canceled the entire event.
That will just make us look more suspicious.
Ito-san, but...
They're underaged civilians!
But, what if the culprit suspects our movements and goes on his rampage?
This is an unusual and urgent matter. We must take all possible precautions.
I don't know where he is during this time of crisis...
But I think the Chief would say the same thing.
He's so funny!
We gotta go now, or they'll find us.
Hey, you guys shouldn't just take off like that.
Do you guys really know our dad?
Of course. Now, come on. We'll buy you anything you want.
Tch, fine.
You!
Noo!
Quiet down!
Stop!
You!
Shut up!
You too, come!
Meekorin & Kaakorin Chiefs of the Day
U-um, everyone!
Chief of the Day U-um, everyone!
Chief of the Day Drinking and driving is bad!
Chief of the Day
It's against the law!
Chief of the Day If you're gonna drink, don't drive!
Chief of the Day If you're gonna drive, don't drink!
"It won't happen to me."
That kind of thinking has seen the birth of many tragedies in the past!
Don't they... look like Megumi and Morimoto?
You will be charged for inciting a driver to drink, as well! Don't they... look like Megumi and Morimoto?
You will be charged for inciting a driver to drink, as well!
You think so?
Many of us in Ayanagi City...
lost loved ones from the disasters and accidents ten years ago.
As residents of this city, we should create a lifestyle that focuses on cherishing lives!
We haven't gotten any contact from the culprit.
No...
President Hiiragi No...
President Hiiragi
How dare they?
We will protect those two girls with our lives, if anything happens.
We know.
However...
That may not be necessary.
Kidnapping...
This is where they're gonna do the exchange...
The hostages... The kids...
What is your brother talking about?
Shooting rampage?
Be careful...
These people here might be in danger.
But don't use your Personas.
Really?
And that's all from us, the Half-Day Chiefs, Meekorin and...
Kaakorin!
What? My autograph?
I can't...
I'll buy your CD!
You two are a pair, right?
Please come have an event at Akiba next time!
They really do look a lot like Megumi and Morimoto.
Jun, you were...
Hiiragi-san, let's not give our hopes up and wait for the culprit!
I apologize, but actually...
I've already done the exchange at another place...
Wh-what!?
Dad!
Satoshi! Tsutomu!
You guys are all right!
Sir, this...
How the-!?
How did you guys make it here without handing them this!?
Mr. Bear helped us.
We've taken both of them into custody.
...No, they were passed out in a car.
They claimed a bear attacked them...
Hey, Shin, be careful.
I'm fine!
Look at you...
Here.
Let's come back tomorrow for more.
Okay...
Excuse me... Excuse me!
Can I have one of those?
If it's all right with you...
I'd like the light blue one.
What's with the balloon?
Is it weird?
Naw, rather, it suits you well.
You think so?
It's fine.
I think it's cute.
Anyway, how did you two end up being the Chiefs for a Day?
How?
I found a wallet, so...
I got lost, and...
So, what does the real Chief do, while the Chief for a Day is here?
Who knows?
Omotai kusariwo The heavy chain
ima hazushite agemashou I will take it off for you
jiyuuni naretara Once you're free
kokowo habataite yukeruwa You'll be able to fly away
atashiga samatage I stood in your way
ubatte kita madaminu sekai e and took that world you haven't seen
tamerau nonara If you're going to hesitate
huriharatte ageru sono udewo I will free that arm for you
soshite tookue Then to faraway

aishiteruno "I love you"
ikanaideyo "Don't leave me"

Tempting breath.
The gray curtain flares within a broken psyche.
The girl is everywhere, but nowhere.
A thought shut down long ago.
But, I am within myself.
Drowning in the winter sea. Flowing with tangled sea kelp.
Abdicating to never dance in the sky.
