17th Case - [written]/[action]
[Written - Filtered away from Roxas]
When someone close to you
How would you react if
[Everything she writes down is scratched out the moment she reads it over. She just... isn't sure how to approach the question]
Let's say someone close to you, someone you deeply trust, kisses you without any warning. You know they don't quite understand what the gesture truly means but you personally have been affected by it. What do you do in such a situation?
Do you tell them how you felt about it?
...What if you aren't sure about how you felt? You're confused...
This is all hypothetically speaking..
[Action]
[All day, Naoto is going to be acting rather... off. As a matter of fact she's been acting weird for a while now and the only ones who might be able to notice are Roxas, Rise and Ven.
Ever since that day, Naoto's been avoiding Roxas, and even Ven. Whenever she sees either of them, she turns and walks the other way, whenever either of them try to catch her attention, she ignores them and tries to hide somewhere. It isn't that she's mad (even though it seems like she is) it's just that she's confused...
So as long as Roxas and Ven aren't around, Naoto will be outside, just wandering around the village with a coat and scarf on or in the library reading some books. She needs to think... ]

[action]
I'm seventeen.
[action]
Oh, really? Same age as me, huh.. [THAT'S SO AMAZING NAOTO DUDE IS SO COOL and now Atsuro is trying to imagine him doing that many cases and yeah nope. Unless there's tech stuff then yeah he's on it but otherwise..]
[action]
Yes. [ ... ] If I may ask, were you involved in anything back in your world? Most people here seem to have interesting histories. [She didn't want to dance around the question]
[action]
Well... That depends. What kind of things do you mean?
[To talk about the Lockdown, or not to talk about the Lockdown. That is the question..! He'd rather not discuss it with people but... explaining it to Naoto should be fine, right?]
[action]
Anything. You seemed to have involved yourself in something back in your world. [He didn't say no after all :|]
[action]
...Welp, got him there. This could take a while though, and he's still standing, so... ] Mind if I take a seat here then?
[action]
Not at all. Please, sit. [She gestures to the seat]
[action]
He'll go ahead and take the seat next to her now then. But first thing's first, since her answer may or may not help him in explaining..] You know Kou, right? [He did see him there for the taste testing thing, so they must know each other..] He's from the same world as I am, so has he told you anything yet?
[action]
Wakahisa-san? Yes, I do know him. [He never mentioned you Atsuro... then again he only really talked about himself, nothing more. Oh and Naoya but that's because he was here once before.] When I questioned him a few months back, he had told me that he participated in a war to become the King of Bel and that he had obtained that title. He didn't go into detail about the war itself, unfortunately.
[action]
Yeah, that's him. [If only Atsuro knew Naoya was here-- but okay. He told her that much. He wouldn't have wanted to mention that part without Kouki's permission, but since Naoto already knows.. that takes care of that.] So he didn't mention the Lockdown?
[action]
The Lockdown? No, he didn't. [You have her full attention now Atsuro. Go on]
[action]
Alright then. It's a long story, so... [Here we go.]
The Lockdown was set up by the government and took place within the Yamanote Circle in Tokyo, where Kou, Yuzu, and I just happened to be called to by Kou's cousin, Naoya. The entire circle was closed off and barricaded to keep everyone already there inside of it, and anyone outside of it out. All of the electricity was intentionally cut out to keep everyone in or out of the circle from contacting each other. At first though, people didn't know this. The government and Special Defense Force were telling us that it was all due to an explosion and toxic gas leak. The truth of the matter was that it was actually due to demons being within the circle, as our group soon figured out thanks to the fact that Naoya gave us demon-summoning COMPs. [He just so happens to have his COMP on him right now too, so if Naoto decides that she wants to see one.. yeah.]
It turns out that angels were the ones who got the government to initiate this Lockdown, all in order to get rid of the demons. The SDF was given a week to get rid of the demons, or else they would have to resort to a last resort that included wiping out every single person and demon within the Yamanote Circle. Of course, they weren't even sure whether or not this 'final option' would actually get rid of the demons. It would've gotten rid of everyone else for sure though, making it so that the knowledge of the existence of demons wouldn't spread outside of the Lockdown. So... they were really desperate about it. [He sighs.]
Got everything so far? [Because he's nowhere near done yet. Any questions though?]
[action] having fun typing all this out?
Naoto just listens intently, not saying a word or nodding until he reaches the end of that part.] Yes. Please, continue. [She's going to the save questions until she can get all of it]
[action] no
Alright. [Continuing then!]
After learning the truth about what was going on, we decided that we had to find a way to end the Lockdown. There were way too many people stuck inside of the circle, and if the government used the final option, they would all be gone. Even the SDF guards with posts within the circle were in danger. People were already in danger as is since they were all rioting, fighting over food rations... Some even found COMPs of their own, which resulted in them all fighting against each other. Even police officers found them and let the power go to their head as they killed innocent civilians. People were against all demon tamers, whether they were bad, or even good like us. So we just had to end it as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, we couldn't do it as quickly as we had hoped. Between protecting civilians from demons, bad police officers, bad demon-users, and ultimately, the angels too, protecting ourselves, and trying to raise our death clocks, we ended up cutting it really close.
In the end, we did, however, find a few options to choose from in order to end the Lockdown. I was hoping that we could reprogram the server that was behind the demon-summoning so that we could control all the demons and reap their benefits. While the demons were extremely dangerous, they were also the only way we were able to survive for the week. So they did have their advantages. Yuzu wanted to escape from the Lockdown and possibly find a way to come back and save everyone once we had saved ourselves. [Atsuro didn't like this idea.] Then a few of our other friends, Gin and Haru, wanted to just eliminate all of the demons from existence. Also, the maiden of an organization known as the Shomonkai, Amane -- as well as the angel Remiel inside of her -- wanted for Kou to become a Messiah.
As you know though, Kou didn't go with any of those; he ended up following Naoya's plans to become the King of Bel. I don't know how much would've had to be done for all those other plans, but it sure took a lot to get Kou to be able to do that.
[AAAAAND done (for now). Any questions? Or rather, anything Naoto wants explained further..?! (I totally left a lot open for that. Sob.)]
