[All six arms raise, and with two fingers on each, he beckons in Yosuke's direction, a shadowy force being removed from the other against his will.]
'MY LITTLE COURT JESTER.'
[ A wince, taking a defensive stance. Hands instinctively clenching into fists as a precaution. ]
[ Whether this was one of those “friendly” Shadows or not, he wasn’t about to take chances. ]
“ Why are you here, what do you even want..?! “
'BUT, IT MATTERS NOT. IT FEELS SO STRANGE TO BE OUT OF THAT WORLD...HOWEVER, AS KING OF ALL SHADOWS, IT IS MY DUTY TO LEAD THE CHARGE, AS IT WERE.'
[One hand gestures as if this is a simple matter.]

'YOSUKE... DON'T YOU RECOGNIZE ME? YOUR BEST PAL. YOUR PARTNER. I'M HONESTLY HURT MY GODLY VISAGE AND AURA HADN'T TIPPED YOU OFF.'
[One of six hands placed dramatically ++
[ Even after all the murders and Shadows– NOTHING– could compare to this. ]
“ W-What… What the HELL are you..?! “
'WE MEET AT LAST.'
[The words were like subtitles, as the broken up pieces of TV phrases all formed the audio. The static roars in the brunet's ears, as the thing stands face to face with him, adjusting a crown of golden thorns looped around TV antenna.]
'THE FOG IS LOVELY, IS IT NOT?'
'YOSUKE... DON'T YOU RECOGNIZE ME? YOUR BEST PAL. YOUR PARTNER. I'M HONESTLY HURT MY GODLY VISAGE AND AURA HADN'T TIPPED YOU OFF.'

[The monitor headed shadow slow turns, the fog grows even more dense as the static blares from blown out TV speakers.]
'IT CERTAINLY HAS BEEN A BIT SINCE WE'VE SEEN HER. I WONDER IF SHE'S UNSATISFIED WITH HER LIFE, EVEN STILL.'

The mourners dressed in black
They came to say their piece and go
(No, they're not looking back)

'You still alright to take costume measurements?'
[Yu asks, head tilting.]
[ His life didn’t change that much after graduation, still stuck working at Junes, now just full time. ]
[ Yosuke slid the bowl over to Yu, before standing up from the table to stretch. ]
“ Whew, man… Today did a number on me… “
[A lighthearted shrug, not giving himself enough credit as he finishes his as well.]
'Hand me your bowl, I'll put it in the sink for now.'

[The fog has rolled in. . . Usually, this was nothing but impaired driving weather to the citizens of Inaba, but to a select few, it was a harbinger of death. The figure that brings such fog is silent, only the buzz of tv static fills the empty air. . .]

“ Man, THAT was good. I’d hate to ask for you to make dinner all the time, but if it’s always like this– I might come by more often! “
Mm.

“ I’m down for it right after we finish eating, that cool with you? “
'I'd have to take measurements, if you're okay with that.'
Mm.
