[ He just knew...? ]

... so you don't know how she--

[ He can't bring himself to say it. ]

[covenantal]

No.

[ Very soft. He tilts his head in Souji's direction, but does not actually look at him. ]

I have a memory of ... confronting a man in a hospital room. All of us, the whole group. I only remember a small piece of it, but based on what was being discussed... we believed he'd killed two people. A girl named Saki Konishi, and ... and Nanako.

[ His mouth thins into a line. ]

I received this memory months ago, and didn't have any context for it. At the time, neither of those names meant anything to me, and I wasn't sure what to make of it. But now...

[ ... now there's a face to attach to the name. ]

[tarotcards]

[ Suddenly, Souji finds himself stop breathing and his mouth dry. Confronting a man in a hospital room after Nanako died... Is that... is that the memory that preceded the one outside the hospital with Yosuke? The one that Souji thinks he's at fault for...? ]

In... in that room... what happened?

[covenantal]

[ Now Yu looks at him, his expression unreadable. ]

I don't know.

[ It's the honest truth. ]

All I remember is a small piece of conversation. I don't know what we actually chose to do. ... why?

[tarotcards]

[ He doesn't answer Yu's question. Instead, after a bit of silence, he just replies with a question of his own. ]

... What was the choice?

[covenantal]

[ ....... ]

Whether or not to throw that man into the TV to end his crimes for good.
