[ OH... ]

sorry. personally, i'm not worried about James trying anything on me, but all of this is making me feel not like myself if that makes sense?

it would be great if we found the records of who received what.

Mm, I get what you mean. A lot of people are dead and we still don't have a single lead to whose doing it, and on top of that we have to watch our step or we'll end up dead too...

That'd be REALLY nice, but I can't see Retrospec handing that over. They would've done that after Zee died if they were willing.

Famously, Akira has never cared about being given anything like that, instead seeking to take it himself.
That is... You don't suppose it would be possible to find the records ourselves, do you? With a little involvement.

[Like

Stealing kind of involvement,]

Even if we did, though, it isn't as if they'd have the handy descriptions of "has the potential to kill someone" or anything of the sort, and given how many people are on the app, plus whatever they may have had returned to them...
... Well, we don't exactly have time to waste until the next time they may strike, do we.

[he doesn't like being like this it reminds him too much of his memories]

They wouldn't do something like that normally, so I doubt the app would as well. It'd very much help us narrow down the suspect pool, certainly, but...

We know it would not be that simple.

Yeah. Plus it'd be a little hard to steal from Retrospec when we don't where Retrospec is.

where are they even hiding this building?

is it right in front of us, but we just can't see it?

Someone theorized that they could be hiding on another "layer", like the ones they mention sometimes.

It'd make sense, when you think about it.

it would, yeah. i've only been able to pass through the layers once and the surroundings looked the same.

James just got back to me and he said it felt like he was on autopilot once he started writing the note.

That sounds like mind control alright...

Did he notice anything or anyone unusual before it happened?

They could be hiding it within a mundane building. The layers have caused a lot of trouble so far, I would think they'd be hesitant to mess with them when they've been so volatile recently...

[ He doesn't have a lot to say on the mind control, but he's reading intently. ]

we can investigate the Retrospec building another time.

no, not really. apparently, it just happened like he intended to do it. whatever the culprit is using, its reach and potential is ridiculous.

Yeah, no kidding...

That rules out Persona users and anyone from my world, at least. He would've noticed something for sure if it were them. That just leaves...nearly everyone else.

[Great]

You don't suppose that list of suspects that one anonymous group had held any weight, do you?
