"Uh, as long as you're okay to do this right now," Rise says. "You're using the telepathic thing and not Interface, right? Because trying to Interface something this big sounds like it could knock you out."

"I have been spending most of the past few days in my own mind, Rise. I will be alright to take others. I do not have enough telepathic skills to do this any other way."

She holds out her hands and takes a breath. "I will be fine. This is important."

"Okay...but if you pass out, I'm gonna say I told you so and then get Naoki-kun," she says, reaching out both hands to Naoto. Might make the Interface easier, and would definitely make it easier to catch her.

Naoto takes her hands and draws in a breath. "If you are ready, Rise."

A golden-yellow light crosses her eyes as she draws Rise into her memories. Everything spins for a moment, and then Rise is standing in Yasogami's hall, students milling around her. She's wearing a hat, and experiencing everything through Naoto's eyes. The students around her are both familiar and not, and there is an air of just not right around everyone.

Naoto's voice comes into Rise's mind, a bit of a mechanical voice-over. If I were going to show you static events, I could be there with you, but as you likely would like to see things happen, you will have to see them as I did.

Hee, this is what it's like to be Naoto, Rise thinks. ...although, wow, how do you breathe in this thing...?

Adjusting her cap, since that seems like a natural way of ending an awkard sentence right now, Rise looks around. Through Naoto's eyes, she can't use Himiko's extra senses, but she doesn't really need them right now. It's a fake school, right? It's not as obvious as the one Labrys's Shadow made, but it's not right, either...

Yes. It is a construct made for us. The students you will see are not ones you recognize, other than our group.

Rise-as-Naoto walks through the hallways, obviously looking for someone. She opens doors, and finds all of the members of the group, including herself talking to Fuuka animatedly about something.

Once each person has been found, she returns to the third floor, in front of what looks like an Alice in Wonderland exhibit.

"I have found everyone, Senpai. They will be here shortly."

Souji is talking to a boy with blue hair, but turns, flashing Naoto a smile. "Thank you, Naoto. We appreciate it."

The memory freezes at this point.

This is just an overview of everyone. I thought it would be easier to start this way.

Oh man, Fuuka-san's the best. I had no idea she was even cuter in the past, Rise comments. There's only a couple of people she doesn't recognize. The blue-haired boy, the tall guy dressed like a hobo, and possibly the bleached-hair guy. He kinda resembles Akihiko, but then again, Rise didn't spend a lot of time looking at Akihiko's face.

I guess the blue-haired kid is not-Minako-san? Unless you've got a cousin I haven't met or something...

You've only met one of my cousins, Rise. I have a number of cousins you haven't met. A couple of them are in the Yakuza. That aside, the blue-haired boy is a male version of Minako-senpai, as far as I can tell.

Naoto's mental voice giggles a bit. Fuuka-san is quite fantastic. She and I had a few conversations about various electronic devices while we were trapped in this place.

That being said, is there anything in particular you would like to see?

I'm gonna want to hear more about your Yakuza cousins later, she says, surprised, especially if I ever get a chance to script-write for a drama.

She looks around, through Naoto's eyes. The two groups seemed surprisingly, or perhaps unsurprisingly, easygoing with each other.

I met most of these guys in the future...and saw a space that was this weird, too. I think my main question is what brought us here and why.
