Namatame was involved in all of this because he had an affair with this TV announcer, Mayumi Yamano. She was the first victim in the serial murders. But…when we were first solving the case we thought he was the culprit. We confronted him when he was in the hospital last winter. His Shadow appeared to us in the TV and we all really thought that he was responsible for something really awful that we thought he'd done to Yu-senpai's family. [She frowns.] The boys wanted to push him into the TV. People who stay in the Midnight Channel and aren't rescued or can't fight will die in there. But we had to stop and think about it…
[And from there she explains what she knows about Namatame, about his diary, about how the first victim by his hands was Yukiko, about how Namatame thought he was saving his victims, how he had seen Mayumi and Saki on the Midnight Channel and how he became so desperate to try and save people and thought that the TV world would be safer but realized how dangerous it was in the end. In a way, it's pretty sad…]
All of it was just a set-up by Adachi, but even he wasn't the final person we had to face in order to make sure the Midnight Channel didn't harm anyone else. [And then, casually:] …I never told you that we fought a god before, did I?
