[ ok. ok hello. we're in the woods, right? crappy. whatever imps told told junpei that yukari was out here in the woods were JERKS.... it's the karmic justice he gets for smushing their comrades on arrival. so, woods. la llorona, probably, judging by the CREEPY AMBIANCE and general lack of sunlight making it's way down through the trees to ground level. hello everyone!! did you know camping out here absolutely SUCKS? because it does. and his horse keeps biting him. ]

Hey, Yuka-tan, I know you're scared of ghosts and all, but where the hell are you hiding out here? None of these are ghosts, they're solid, they have knives and whatever so you can come out of whatever shrub you're hiding under and talk to me already! I know your phone's not working, but come onnnnnn, what's the deal?

[ suddenly, an enlightened pause. ]

You didn't get turned into a deer or something, did you?

[ STUPEI, ACE DEFECTIVE, everyone. he is the BRAINS of this operation. little does he know that there are, actually, probably ghosts in here after all but his burning anime friend spirit is probably keeping them away. isnt it great!!!

but let's also ask the general public for help. ]

Uh, if anyone else has seen a girl with a pink sweater and a bad attitude and some archery stuff, can they tell me? Her name's Yukari.

That could totally happen here! It's the toughest thing to handle! With all the magic and the mysteries and the- the undiscovered histories and stuff, you can't really rule anything out. I mean, a lot of great stuff happens, but a lot of crazy stuff happens right next to it.

Oh man, she's gonna be so mad if that happens to her... I kinda feel sorry for the ghost.

...ohh. So your friend's, uh.

Scarier than a freaky ghost king, huh?

Well she tends to hit people when she's freaked out...

[ read: hit me ]

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. I see. You know, going offensive could be a good thing here! If she hits the right people. Or spirits, which I always find surprisingly solid.

Yeah, unless she messes with the wrong people... like the time she picked a fight with a ton of punks...

Oh, did she? That's actually pretty cool! [ SOUNDS LIKE SHE COULD KILL ME, THAT'S THE ROAD TO FRIENDSHIP. ]

... I mean.

You know, dangerous. Super dangerous. But still pretty cool.

Dude, what? We almost died! Not cool.

Well yeah, I'll give you that. Almost dying is never cool. But just stepping up and taking charge and calling out a bunch of punks? [ He assumes they were doing something nefarious. Basically too late your friend must be a superhero. ] I mean, that's some grade-A cool attitude. Confidence is a big deal!

Yeah she can be confident because she just uses me as a meat shield!

Y'know, I'm sensing a little negativity here. [ no shit.... ] Might be something you need to bring up with her once you've got her back.
