Udo, share this with everyone.
Are you sure?
I haven't absorbed as many Personas as everyone else.
Still...
Take them.
Do you wanna be like Wakasa?
Any updates, Sotaro?
The exchange is today.
He's going to announce the time and place.
I'll go, so let me know when you find out.
Sorry 'bout that.
Anyway, I'll be taking those.
You used to give that look to Wakasa, too.
Even though he's your real brother.
We'll get a bulk of them soon.

Basically, they want us to fight using our Personas, right?
We don't have a choice if there's no one else.
I mean, that was my initial intention anyway.
Have you been training?
Um, no, not recently...
H-he just won't listen to me.
He's so rowdy... But if it comes to it...
Shin, what about you?
Hey, Shin?
Oh, about lunch? What should we do?
Inui-san wants us to gather.
I thought you were gonna let us think it over for a few days.
This is an unexpected situation.
He's... the guy whose kids got kidnapped before.
The President of Hiiragi Pharmaceutical, Hiiragi Kazuhiko.
And the Board of Directors head, Nagai Kiyohumi.
Both were involved in the Persona research by some organization and special force project with us.
Half a year ago, former chief of Ayanagi Police Station, Kanzato Ryo,
and Dr. Nikaido Eiko, left evidence.
From it, we discovered Hiiragi Pharmaceutical was continuing development of Persona control pills.
Instead of bringing charges upon them, we made a deal with President Hiiragi.
We were going to have him lure out the people who need the drugs, the Marebito, with his name.
However, the exchange halted due to the former chief's warnings.
And before the Marebito requested it to be re-opened...
The incident from a few days ago happened.
They don't know... where to get the drugs.
Looks like the exchange was being done by Kujo, the Marebito's leader.
However, he can't be located at the moment.
The Marebito are reaching their limit.
If they don't have their lifeline, we should just wait for them to perish naturally.
Depending on the situation, that may cause more civilian sacrifices.
Plus, not only the Marebito, but unless we locate Kujo, this problem will not be solved.
Apparently, Nagai was carrying something out of the lab, which is now closed down, this morning.
Most likely the pills, which they were ordered to dispose of.
We have no idea why Nagai, Hiiragi's trusted underling, is acting on his own...
or how he contacted the Marebito.
It seems there's a possibility they will have their exchange today.
Ito-san, have you heard anything more from Detective Narasaki?
Apparently, he drove towards Takayama and strayed from the National Highway near Yatsuo.
I wanted to wait until we were ready, but the plan has been put on fast-forward.
On that note, I'd like to say one more thing before hearing your decisions.
Our request doesn't necessarily demand you fight with your Personas,
and neither it is compulsory.
However, you guys are the only ones who can fight them.
And... if we were to battle, the enemies will use everything they've got.
This...
This is ridiculous!
What is this!? You keep going on and on without even stopping to ask our opinions!
Kayano...
We're just normal high schoolers.
We have to study for college and participate in club activities...
That aside... How do you expect us to fight against such bad people!?
Hey, Megumi...
I agree with her, though.
This came up so suddenly... it's overwhelming.
Plus... I'm not fully convinced, myself.
What she's saying is right.
But... it doesn't mean something like this hasn't happened before.
We can't wait long to find the specific location.
Prepare to leave for Yatsuo.
Yes.
Are you gonna do it?
Yes.
I've been thinking about my brother.
This is the decision I came to.
I see.
I just have to wait in my room, right?
Yeah.
I'm sure what that guy says is the truth.
But you're basically gonna be used as a weapon, you know?
You're right.
But this is what aniki was trying to do.
There are people trying to distort the power of Personas and use them for something bad...
and he was trying to stop them.
That's all, right?
He joined the police, became a chief, and...
he even established a special force.
Yet, none of it helped.
He could've talked to us about it a little.
The three of us are the only family we've got...
Niichan...
Sakakiba-kun, our break is almost over.
H-hey, how did that get on your glasses?
We're the only ones who can fight them, huh?
What are you talking about?
Sorry, I'm gonna take off.
Can you tell our manager?
What? You were late and you're leaving early?
I also have to...
I was asked to run an errand for someone.
I gotta go to Yatsuo.
Hey... I'm really counting on you this time.
He finally gave us the location.
Where Sugibayashi Elementary School used to be, in Yatsuo.
It's good to be cautious, but this is way off the beaten path.
Regardless, we're not in the position to choose anyway. It's gonna be a big package, too.
Sotaro, can't we change it?
Nope. The condition was to follow his orders on location and time.
...Is there a problem?
Yes. He stopped by his storage on the way, too.
Looked like he's taking everything that's left.
There were a few other locations he had in mind,
but looks like he chose this spot away from the crowd.
As expected, Nagai was behind all this.
The opposite party hasn't shown up yet.
Yes, I'm aware. I've come this far. I won't let him go.
Ito-san, thanks for the cab.
Of course, you can expense it, right?
Takuro...
I'd be too worried to let you go alone.
Listen, we'll trail the Marebito from the ground and Sanada will trail from the sky after the exchange.
Our goal is to locate their hideout. If we at least learn the general area, that'd be fine, too.
What?
How could I possibly make you high school kids fight against murderers?
Boss said fighting them wasn't necessarily the condition, either, remember?
Then what was the point of us?
Yeah, we better beat the crap out of the Marebito.
The better your Persona, the harder you'll Reverse when extracted.
That was the logic, right?
Leave the rough play...
to the professio...
Shin, let's go.
B-but...
He's gone already.
Won't you let us go?
Can't.
We... can't live without these.
Let's go to the hospital.
I don't have insurance.
It'd be hard to settle this in court, since we don't really exist.
Enough of this, you brat.
Saki...
Take us to your leader.
...Sure.
What are we gonna do there?
Play Othello with everyone?
Mr. Detective... Mr. Detective.
Your phone is going off.
You shouldn't be sleeping here.
Y-you...
Umm... Where are we?
They ambushed you guys?
Yeah, and I can't get a hold of Narasaki, either.
One of them took half the supplies, too.
Can you see the car heading northwest?
I can't confirm them.
That can't be...
I'll join you guys... How's Shin?
A-are you?
It's your fault for interfering.
It should be quick.
I'm sorry, but I don't know how to go easy...
Oh yeah... I wonder if your power will be mine if I absorb your Persona?
Takuro!
Shin!
Jun!
Get in!
Don't hurt... my brother...
Jun!
Wh-why?
We have to treat him fast!
Narasaki.
Morimoto!?
I'm sorry...
Jun-kun?
Inui, gather all the control pills in one place.
Y-yes.
Sanada-san, first...
They missed the vitals.
That won't work.
We've got to hurry to the hospital!
No, we mustn't move around too much during the night.
But!
They've got nothing left to lose.
They won't give up on the rest of the pills so easily.
Plus...
Dammit!
Megumi!?
H-hey.
Megumi?
This...
is my parents' house.

A patch of clouds
was enough to compress a small heart.
Even if you gaze straight ahead,
you'll never know the truth.
A heart saved by a harsh sentence.
Still imprisoned by fear.
Struggling to be taken.
A place that's close, but far.
A home she did not wish to return to.
