“Now you see, don’t you?! Nobody gives a shit about me, except you.” The shadow spoke. “You make me feel special. You make me forget how much of a DISAPPOINTMENT i am” He continued, watching his other self cling to her. 

“But in the end, they’ll never see me as any more than a loser.” he finished, laughing.

Yosuke was mildly conscious, but not enough to register his shadow’s comments. His memories from the last several hours were a blur, completely useless for solving the case. He clung to Rebecca, craving the affection she was giving him in his incoherent state

After around 40 minutes, the rest of the investigation team finally joined them. Shadow Yosuke seemed to have taken great pleasure in their appearance.

“Then they can go fuck themselves! You are special, Yosuke! They just refuse to see it…”

Rebecca couldn’t help but respond, upset and furious at how Yosuke’s friends treated him. She gently brushed stubborn hair out of his face again, just holding onto him for now.

While they waited, she had to readjust her legs a little to keep them from getting numb. Though with how her right foot seemed to have fallen asleep, it was a little pointless. She grumbled a little under her breath about it before the team finally burst into the room.

The fury clearly written on her face likely took them off guard, and she held Yosuke protectively in one arm with her naginata having been retrieved and held in her other hand.

She glared at them in silence, her headset on her ears making it perfectly clear that she heard everything from the monitor not far away.

Yosuke was in no condition to talk, and as such, he didn’t verbally answer her. Instead, his response was to cling to her, shivering and craving contact

Meanwhile, visible on the Tv screen, The investigation team had climbed through a couple floors, but they were stopped by some strange voices.

First, was Yosuke’s voice, he sounded very excited “Hey guys, i finally found the one! i have a girlfriend now!”

Next, was Chie’s, sounding distorted ‘A girlfriend? You? You’re kidding us. nobody would date a disappointment like you!’

Then, Teddie, even more distorted ‘There’s no way Yosuke scored before me!’
Finally, Kanji’s voice, almost unrecognizable ‘Senpai are you okay, you’re talking crazy!’

When the last voice faded, Shadow Yosuke’s voice could be heard “You couldn’t even be happy for me, could you. NONE OF YOU GIVE A SHIT!!!” He exclaimed, the voice fading after that.

Unfortunately for the Lovebirds, the TV had Audio, which meant that they heard every word that the investigation team said, with Yosuke visibly wincing.

Was this how the team reacted when he told them about her? What kind of ‘friends’ were these?!

Rebecca wrapped warm, gentle arms around Yosuke’s head as he laid there, laying small kisses on his forehead in hopes of comforting him. Quietly, she spoke to him, brushing some hair out of his face.

“I’m sorry that they couldn’t accept that you were happy, ‘Suke… You deserve so much better…”

All they could really do was wait until the team made their way up to the top at this point. Though, when she sniffed a little, something smelled off.

“…’Suke? Something smells sweet by your mouth. It’s faded somewhat but I can still smell it.”

Chloroform then…? Drugged at the very least… Fury welled up in Rebecca’s stomach at that thought, and she hugged her boyfriend a little tighter, yet still gently.
