[The grouchy kid in the beanie makes a rare appearance over the network, but this time with a familiar feline on his shoulder; Yu's kitten, Banchou. He's also holding two handcrafted plush toys that are the work of Kanji Tatsumi: a mint-colored bunny rabbit and a Jack Frost. That little cat can wake the soundest sleepers, and by the wrinkles in his turtleneck and even more disheveled hair than usual to frame his tired eyes, it's obvious.]

Don't know how long I've been out. Everyone still closing up shop early? [He references the ordeal with the strange symbol, and panicked residents closing business early in the evening when it appeared.]

[Later, he sends a private video message to the remaining Persona users.]
So who's left?

[He's not sounding optimistic.]
