[The girl looking into the camera looks a little bit suspicious as the feed comes into view. She's muttering to herself, things like 'I hope this is actually working this time' and 'Maybe I should just go exploring', before finally settling down.]

Hello, everyone. My name is Yukiko Amagi. I just got here, and I'm looking for anyone who might be from the town of Inaba. Yu Narukami, Chie Satonaka, Yosuke Hanamura, Teddie, Kanji Tatsumi, Rise Kujikawa, or Naoto Shirogane, in particular - if you're here and you're okay, let me know?

Or if Mitsuru Kirijo, Akihiko Sanada, Aigis, or Labrys is here, the same goes for all of you. If you're here and you're okay, let me know, all right?

I guess the biggest question I have isn't really about the message I got when I woke up here. If it's true, I'll figure that one out and figure out how to handle it.

The bigger question...well, it's kind of weird. [She lets out an awkward laugh.] When I tried using this thing to send a message out, the first time I tried, I thought I clicked the little video button, but this weird game thing came up instead. It was super scary! Do these computers do that a lot? I don't want to play some scary game every time I try to get on here to send a message...

[The good news: Akihiko Sanada is present in the tower.

The bad news: ...He's not quite the one she remembers.]

I'm Akihiko Sanada...have we met?

Akihiko-san! It's me, Yukiko Amagi. We met during the P1 Grand Prix mess in Yasoinaba. You look different from when we met, though. You don't have the cape, or the beard...

[There's definitely a good explanation for all of this, but he can't completely hide the fact that he's surprised. ~~A cape, huh...~~]

I'm sorry Amagi-san, I don't think it's happened yet. The tower takes us from different worlds and points in time. Sometimes they take us from different outcomes of the same time as well.

You must be from my future. I'm just finishing up high school.

Different worlds and points in time, and different outcomes of the same time...hm.

[She tilts her head, thinking about it a little. That would explain everything, wouldn't it?]

You looked older, too, when I met you. I'm so sorry, if I confused you! I was just worried. I can explain the whole Grand Prix thing, though, if it would help?

[Didn't she say Labrys? There was a Labrys in the tower that said she knew him too. He doesn't see her too often, though. The 'turnaround' of familiar faces is always unpredicatble.]

Actually, I am kind of curious. What is it?

The whole story started last year - well, last year to me. There was this urban legend that went around about this thing called the Midnight Channel. If you were awake at midnight on a rainy night, it would come on and show your soul mate.

Anyway, not long after that whole rumor started, a series of murders in our town started, and after that, a bunch of kidnappings started up. I was one of the people that disappeared, and in the process of finding out what happened to me, Yu-kun, Yosuke-kun, and Chie-chan found out that there was a whole world inside of televisions. Inside that world, there were Shadows, and if you stayed in there long enough, you'd wind up facing your own Shadow. We all wound up realizing we could use Personas and fight the Shadows.

Anyway, my friends - Yu-kun, Yosuke-kun, Chie-chan, and eventually Rise-chan, Kanji-kun, Naoto-kun, and Teddie - and I investigated the murders and the disappearances. We figured out that someone was kidnapping people and throwing them into TVs so their own Shadows could get them. The whole Midnight Channel thing was just showing the next victim. We stopped the person responsible, and that stopped the Midnight Channel, or so we thought.

Two months passed, and then the Midnight Channel started up again. Only this time, it showed the Investigation Team - that's what we started calling ourselves - fighting each other in this tournament called the P-1 Grand Prix. So, we went into the TV world again to try and stop that.

That was when you, Mitsuru-san, and Aigis came into town. You were all looking for Labrys. She's...she's really special. She acted so much like a real high school student council president, and she made friends with all of us.

You all surprised us when you said she had been created by Mitsuru-san's company as an Anti-Shadow Weapon, and could use a Persona, like we could. That explained why she was able to have a Shadow, though. It turns out that Labrys' Shadow was responsible for the whole tournament thing. But we were able to stop her Shadow and return her to normal, thank goodness.

She and Aigis seemed really happy to find each other, though. They called each other sisters. Labrys left with all of you, but she promised she'd come back one day.

That's the story. Uh, it wound up being kind of long. Sorry about that...

[A persona fighting tournament would more than get him excited, but her mention of the TV World and what happened inside of it blinds him from that detail. Shadows inside the television? He'd been told that they ended the Dark Hour, but shouldn't that have ended the shadow epidemic as well? Something just doesn't make sense. But Labrys having been around is proof that she's probably telling the truth.

Oddly enough, he can also relate to facing one's shadow. The tower was capable of all sorts of things, but that event was credited to Izanami herself, unbeknownst to him.]

That's a lot to take in, but I'll believe you. Labrys was here before, and she still might be. Narukami-san is here as well.

The tower's home to things much more dangerous than shadows, though. You'll still need to fight if you want to survive.

I get that it's a whole lot to take in at one time. But I really appreciate that.

Labrys is here? I'm really glad! I know she's not a human, but she still has a heart, and she's still a dear friend. I'm glad she's okay. And Yu-kun is a special person, too.

[Yukiko nods.]

I guess that's why they left my fighting fans in my trunk. It never really ends, huh? But that's...well. Not okay, but if that's what it takes, I'm not going to stop now.
