[She seems to light up the moment Kyouko confirms she knows Yu, nodding enough that her twintails bob in time with her head.]
Yeah! We're from the same world and we went to school together last year before he had to return to the city and I went back to work. [And she gives her another smile.] It doesn't surprise me that he has even more friends here than I thought.
[So yeah. Her assessment about him is right, and Rise's about to continue but with Kyouko moving, all she does is startle the goat enough that it moves and passes right through her legs to get to the other side of Rise.
The world falls away for a moment until they're no longer in front of a love hotel. Instead, it's the interior of Marukyu Tofu and Rise's behind the counter in her white apron and head bandana. In front of her are two men both in suits and ties, though the man with the scruffy facial hair appears to have his jacket draped over his shoulder. She's calm with them in her store, apparently not seeing them as a threat and she even smiles lightly.
As the conversation goes on, it becomes clear that the younger detective, Adachi, isn't quite as serious or confident as Dojima. The older man seems to be serious about the case at hand.
"I don't mean to alarm you, but…you do have some things in common with the recent victims. That's why, well…"
Rise shrugs slightly. "I might be kidnapped, right? I've been told that before. Don't worry, I'll be careful."
"Huh…? Someone told you already?" Adachi appears surprised as though he can't imagine somebody else giving her a warning beforehand.
"It was three guys… They were wearing uniforms, so I think they were high school students…" She smiles faintly at the memory of Yu, Yosuke and Kanji's visit earlier that afternoon, though Dojima doesn't seem pleased.
"Did one of them happen to look… How do I put it… Did he look something like a gang member?"
"Wait… You think she's talking about your nephew and his friends?" Adachi continues, but Dojima ignores him, thanking Rise and walking away. She watches as the two men head for the front of the shop, but she's learned an important lesson in her life. Idols have to be good listeners. Though she goes about her business, she's careful to eavesdrop on the two detectives.
" ……Something smells here. The recent disappearances… Between those and the two homicides, there's too many questions with no answers. To tell the truth, I followed my detective's intuition and came here to warn her. How could high school kids who know less than we do beat us to the punch…? Were they just making up an excuse to talk to a famous celebrity…? Or…"
"Sir…?"
"Yasogami High…" Dojima continues as he rolls over Adachi's words. "The second victim, Saki Konishi, and two other students who were missing for a while…"
"I guess the investigation of the ones involved with the school hasn't turned up anything either…aren't we gonna be in trouble if this keeps up? The prefectural police will be coming soon to--"
"They're the least of your worries!" Dojima snaps. "Keep your head in the game." With that, the two of them exit the tofu shop, Rise listens to them walk out, and the memory fades completely.]
