There's something we've forgotten.
And it's.... interesting.

...Forgotten? What d'you mean, forgotten?

It would be easier if we were to meet to discuss it.
Also, to be perfectly fair, I am uncertain if you experienced it or not. It is likely, but as your world is different, I cannot say for certain.

More... made to forget. It is something from home, not here. Which... is both better and worse in its way.
Is there a place in Aiya we could all meet to discuss this? I think it would be easier to explain it all at once.

Made to ... shit. How could home...
[He is definitely sounding concerned now.]
Yeah. I'll set a room up for us.

Thank you, Kanji. I am... not pleased with it myself, even though I think I understand the reasoning behind it.
And.... to be perfectly frank, I am not entirely certain if your group experienced the same things mine did, but I would not be surprised if you did.

Right. Just 'cause some of our stuff was different... coulda happened to both of us, 'n it's worth looking into in any case.
Do you truly expect anything different from me, Rise?
[Naoto sounds tired.]
I'll see you soon.

As everyone comes into Aiya, Naoto is pacing around one side of the room, mumbling to herself. She looks distracted, focused, and above all tired. Once everyone is there, she turns and takes a breath, addressing the group like she would lecture a group of detectives, or, possibly to some very reminiscent of another time she addressed the group then walked off to get kidnapped. This is certainly not a game.
"Thank you for coming, everyone. I do not know how much you all know of the various skills I have retained from Jaunts, but I have the ability to go into my own memories, and relive them, as well as take someone else there through Interface. In our last Liminal, I was showing Alcuin the culture festival and Yasogami, and I turned at one point and saw a clock tower outside of one of the windows. The one Naoki-kun was fond of back home, but that is neither here nor there."
She pauses, and takes a breath. "From there, memories started coming back to me. Memories of... a few weeks of time in which we were stuck in a parallel Yasogami culture festival and had to fight our way through labyrinthine dungeons to get out. The strangest part, however... we were not alone. The Persona group from Gekkoukan showed up as well. And then we were made to forget it all."

Exactly. As many of the main events do seem to parallel for each of our cases, I believe it is important to know.
...Well. Naoki's not sure what he expected when Naoto said she had interesting information, but it sure wasn't this.
"That's... certainly something. Do you have any idea why it was blocked?"
Once the meeting is over, Naoto extends an invitation to take each person into her memories in turn to show them the various aspects of the labyrinthine culture festival.
As everyone comes in, they'll find her on a blue bean bag, with another across from her. She's extremely worn out, but determined.
"Hello. Are you ready?"

Rise is, needless to say, confused. The only reason her head isn't covered in question marks is because she missed the return trip to Doki.
"You mean we were at the culture festival for weeks?" she asks.
Not asked: did Souji's class ever come up with a decent event during that interval.
"And Minako-san's group showed up too? That uh. Seems even more impossible than usual."

"As ready as I'm going to be." Naoto herself looks like she needs a nap (or five) before she does this, but Naoki knows better than to suggest it.
Souji or Rise will likely enforce it after all's said and done anyway.
"You are planning to tell Minako-san at some point, right?"

"...Yeah." Kanji looks a bit pensive himself, but he gives her a nod, settling down himself. "Let's ... let's do this."
"I was actually going to speak with you about that." She shakes her head. "I definitely saw a guy in my memories, so I do not know if seeing her friends with someone else would bother her too much."
A sigh, and she looks down at her hands. "I am terrible with these sorts of things."

"Alright." She holds out her hands, palms-up for Kanji to take.
"If you would take my hands, Kanji, I can start the Interface."
She's ever-so-slightly pink in the cheeks.

"R-right." There's a moment of a blush from Kanji, too, before he reaches out and closes his eyes. The connection's a hesitant and controlled one from his end, letting Naoto send data more than he's sending anything in return.
"Well, she at least knows he was a thing in some worlds. It's worth telling her this may be on the table, and she can decide for herself if she wants to see it." After all, the same thing might have happened to her group.
"So. What do you need from me?"
"So. What do you need from me?"
Kanji's looking more than a little alarmed at this, despite himself. "We met them before? That - how the..."
He believes her, of course. He's not going to call 'impossible' on anything like that. But still...
"...In there that long, huh," he muses slightly, his composure returning.

Something from home, Senpai.
To be precise, something we were made to forget.

"Just your hands, Naoki-kun. I will initiate the Interface that will take us into my memories."
She takes a breath. "From there, I will show you some of what happened."
