"Are you related in any way to to Ryu Hasashi?" - Hyō

"Perchance..." - Jin

"...This is gonna be a long ass day" - Hyō

Hyō lights cigarette

"Huff, he told me about you and your "boys", question is, is it all fifteen you? Huff, but people like you tend to have a small group, and that "perchance" showed me that you know him."- Hyō

"Still doesn't prove anythi—" - Jin

"Jin Kanzai, you're a bit of a smooth talker huh. Heard you tried flirting with my partner. Big balls." - Hyō

"We can't lie she is bad" - Hyō

"...You're more of a dickhead than him, huff" - Hyō blowing smoke

...

"Coco Kanzai, cute name" - Ren

"Took my mom's last name, hate that one" - Coco

"Maybe you can tell me what happened on that island." - Ren

"My dad was murdered. Went to go look for his killers" - Coco

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. How'd it go?" - Ren

"Huff, a work in progress" - Coco

"So, you thought your father's killers, would be on Mikurajima?" - Ren

"I got an anonymous tip, said that they might be on the island. As a normal person you'd go there right?" - Coco

"On some level yeah" - Ren

"So you weren't involved in the paranormal activities there?" - Ren

"What activities? I was mostly passed out after—" - Coco

Flashback to fighting Miko

"After?" - Ren

"After I go jumped, by some NPCs" - Coco

"Well your medical check shows you were unconscious for a while, must've been some serious people." - Ren

"...Yeah. I'm sorry, how long is this fuckass interview gonna take?" - Coco

...

"You own a pet wolf? - Hyō

"Why is everyone surprised about that?" - Shin

"You keep a wild animal in your house..." - Hyō

"So Shin, why'd you go to Mikurajima island?" - Hyō

"The Governor" - Shin

"Actually it was more for the reward for finding him." - Shin

"Elaborate" - Hyō

"I moved out of my parents house a few months ago, wasn't the brightest idea. Rent, lifestyle, plus I have to take care of Wolf, and I didn't wanna bother my parents they worked so hard for me all these years." - Shin

"So, when I saw the broadcast, it was like an angel coming down to Earth. So I put my shoes on and dipped, I brought Wolf along so he could track his scent." - Shin

"Touching story, anyone would believe you, huff" - Hyō

"So did you find him? Or did you see anyone else?" - Hyō

Flashback to chatting with Shimo

"Nah it was a deadend, even Wolf couldn't pick up anything" - Shin

"..."

"Arghh, I'm loosing braincells here" - Hyō

...

"So, you went there, to find friends?" - Ren

"Exactly!" - Umi

"...Well that's a first" - Ren

"Couldn't you find them anywhere else?" - Ren

"They're so rare these days, I don't know why" - Umi

"Maybe it's you" - Ren in her thoughts

"So did you see anyone, anyone at all" - Ren

"Just the locals and some fishermen" - Umi

"Did any strange or eerie things occur to you?" - Ren

Flashback to that turtle humanoid yokai

"Nope!" - Umi

"You're really not giving me a lot to work with here." - Ren

"Wish I was more help, I know how it feels when things don't make sense to you." - Umi

"I hope you do..." - Ren

...

"You don't talk much do?" - Hyō

"Not really" - Shimo

"So you're no help, you're useless?" - Hyō

"I guess" - Shimo

"..."

"Who'd you go with?" - Hyō

"Myself" - Shimo

"Why" - Hyō

"Cause I'd rather go alone?" - Shimo

"Why" - Hyō

"Why not?" - Shimo

"Hmph, how much was the reward for finding the Governor?" - Hyō

"Who's the Governor?" - Shimo

"..."

"You're actually the worst one today" - Hyō

...

"So why did you go to Mikura island?" - Ren

"We heard about the bounty on Mr. Governor and thought it'd be nice if we bring him back." - Kai

"So you were working with people?" - Ren

"Did I mess up again?" - Kai in his thoughts

"Well yes I had a group, but they drove away last minute, leaving me behind." - Kai

"That'll convince her" - Kai in his thoughts

"Huh, you're awfully polite, but your story doesn't match up." - Ren

"But I said the truth" - Kai

"Hmph... You're medical scan shows that you had some water in your lungs. We're there some people trying to kill you?" - Ren

"Yes, but it was only one guy, we subdued him so he couldn't hurt anyone else." - Kai

Flashback to burying the turtle humanoid yokai

"You said we again" - Ren

"..."

"Did I screw it up again?" - Kai in his thoughts

...

"I'm the Governor's daughter" - Junko

"Oh. Well that changes some things" - Hyō

"But I'm gonna need some proof" - Hyō

"But I don't have anything right now" - Junko

"What a shame" - Hyō

"So what were you doing on the island?" - Hyō

"To look for my father, Satoru Nijino, the Governor" - Junko

"If he is your father and you have the government on speed dial, why didn't you inform anyone?" - Hyō

"Because my no one listens to me, and my stepmom wouldn't give me the chance to." - Junko

"I am telling the truth. I saw the broadcast on my iPad, I did want to show her and everyone, but I couldn't. So I snuck out, bribed some bodyguards to take me to the island, and told myself I could find him and bring him home, and tell him, to get rid of that woman, she's not my mother." - Junko
