Narration...
Narration*knocking*
NarrationSomeone is knocking at the door.
PlayerOpen your eyes.
PlayerJust lemme sleep a little longer...
PlayerIt's too early... The ADAMAS office isn't even open yet...
Girl to Be ProtectedAre you awake?
Girl to Be Protected...Sorry we didn't have a proper place for you to sleep.
PlayerIt was comfortable.
PlayerYesterday was pretty rough, huh?
PlayerI'm lucky I saved on accomodations!
Girl to Be ProtectedOh, well... glad to hear it.
Girl to Be ProtectedSo much happened, I can't wrap my head around any of it...!
Girl to Be ProtectedDad said to let you use this space for now.
Girl to Be ProtectedNow, let me introduce myself. I'm Inori Misono!
Inori MisonoYou said some things that made it sound like we've met before. I'm sorry I don't remember.
Inori MisonoWell, let's start with a tour of the house. Come downstairs when you're ready, okay?
Operator...Finally, connected at last! Hello there, Agent Player!
OperatorI managed to catch fragments of the audio from your side. I'm not even sure where to begin.
Operator...So you can see the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, fully intact, from where you are?
OperatorThe visuals of Shinjuku that I'm seeing... are a hellscape I can't quite put into words.
OperatorI've also confirmed that you're not present at your supposed "current" coordinates.
OperatorBased on all this information, the analysis department has reached the conclusion that...
Operator...you've traveled through time into the past.
OperatorThis is an unprecedented anomaly. How is it we're even able to speak to each other?!
OperatorWe just have to pray that this connection doesn't get severed.
PlayerI have no idea what's happening!
PlayerWill I be able to get home...?
PlayerThis is just like a sci-fi anime...
OperatorI'm sure you're tired of bad news by now... but the situation here is critical.
OperatorA global collapse is underway, and Shinjuku was the starting point of it all.
OperatorI'll relay more details over time. We're still scrambling to collect data on our end.
OperatorSend me whatever you learn as well. I'm counting on you, Agent Player.

Inori MisonoI'll give you a proper tour of the house now. This is the living room.
Inori MisonoOver there is the bathroom. And that's my room. Don't go in without asking!
Inori MisonoHere, we have the kitchen. Feel free to use it whenever you want. Do you cook?
Inori Misono...Wait. Is this too much all at once?
Inori MisonoOh yeah, my dad wants to talk to you. He's a detective, by the way. He said for you to come see him.
Inori MisonoTo get to his office, go out the front door and down one floor.
Inori Misono...Anyway, it's about time I left for school.
Inori MisonoJust in case anything happens while I'm gone... ...can you give me your Digiline ID?
Inori Misono...Okay, got it. I'll message you later! Right now, you need to go talk to my dad.

Man with Glasses...Did you sleep well?
PlayerYes, I was very comfortable.
PlayerThanks for all your help.
PlayerDo you always work this early...?
Man with GlassesGlad to hear it.
Man with GlassesWe had quite the scrape yesterday. Those phase electron lifeforms... "Digimon," you called them?
Man with GlassesHey, that's my line. I don't know what would've happened if it weren't for you.
Man with GlassesThat was quite the day yesterday. Those phase electron lifeforms... "Digimon," you called them?
Man with GlassesYeah, well, I can work anytime. The freelance PI life is pretty flexible that way.
Man with GlassesThat was quite the day yesterday. Those phase electron lifeforms... "Digimon," you called them?
Man with GlassesSo, here's the deal. For various reasons, I know some things most civilians don't.
Man with GlassesI'm familiar with the term "phase electron lifeforms," but you seem to know a lot more about them than I do.
Man with GlassesSo... who exactly are you working for?
PlayerI can't answer that.
PlayerThat's top secret.
PlayerI'm just a regular person who's into cosplay.
Man with GlassesYeah, I figured you'd say that. I know how it is, after all.
Man with GlassesI've got some "experience" in your line of work. I know that you can't speak freely about these things.
Man with GlassesJust, I really need to know more about those creatures you call "Digimon."
Man with GlassesMy guess is, you were sent here to investigate what happened yesterday.
Man with GlassesWouldn't it be best to have a "home base" nearby? You're welcome to use my house, if you'd like.
Player"Experience"... in my line of work? What are you getting at?
PlayerWait. You and I are in the same business?
PlayerYou're being suspiciously nice to me...
Man with GlassesNo need to get your guard up. I just want to know what you know.
Man with GlassesBut that can wait until after I've earned your trust. Just don't go disappearing on me in the meantime, okay?
Man with GlassesIf you do, I just might end up spilling the beans about you— to the police, public safety, maybe even Hiroko...
Man with GlassesI'm sure getting internet famous through her videos wouldn't be ideal, now, would it?
Man with Glasses...hah. I'm joking. For now, at least.
Kosuke MisonoNow that that's out of the way, let me finally introduce myself. I'm Kosuke Misono. Nice to meet you.
Kosuke MisonoWell, I've got to go out for some work, but you can have free run of the house.
OperatorIt seems that girl doesn't remember meeting you at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.
OperatorBut I suppose that's to be expected. Our analysis indicates that you've somehow been sent back in time eight years.
OperatorI combined the info I've been receiving from your Digivice with positional data from eight years ago...
Operator...and fashioned an improvised location data system. I'd say it's fairly accurate.
OperatorIn fact, I'm detecting multiple Digimon right now. They'll likely be good sources of intel for you.
OperatorTry accessing the location data system while viewing the map on your Digivice. I'll contact you again as needed.
PlayerCopy that. Starting investigation.
OperatorAlright, I'm counting on you!

OperatorBy the way, make sure you keep your identity concealed from that freelance detective.
OperatorAnd the possibility that you've traveled through time as well, of course.
OperatorWe don't want to influence the past. There's no telling what would happen.
OperatorADAMAS's own research into time travel was suspended after a series of accidents in the early stages...
OperatorYour adoptive father, Dr. Yuki, was caught up in one such incident, and—
OperatorNo, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have mentioned that. Just focus on the mission for now. I'm counting on you.

Mirei MikaguraWelcome to the In-Between Theater. This is a special space, located between different space-time dimensions.
Mirei MikaguraHumans find their way in from time to time. Some people refer to it as being "spirited away."
Mirei MikaguraAs for why this place exists... that will be clear enough when the time comes.
Mirei MikaguraThe natural laws of the world have already begun to break down. You will not be able to stay uninvolved.
Mirei MikaguraIt's possible I may be able to help you. Tell me. What is it you desire?

OperatorAre you all right? Where have you been? I lost contact with you for a bit, there.
OperatorI'm analyzing data as it comes in from your Digivice. It seems returning to your original timeline won't be easy.
OperatorEven if you did make it back... the situation here is nigh hopeless. It all started with a conflict between Digimon...
Operator...but now humans and their mechanized weapon have entered the fray, making it an apocalyptic three-sided conflict.
PlayerWar...?
PlayerWeapon...?
PlayerA three-sided conflict...?
OperatorThe battle over Shinjuku triggered all manner of anomalies, laying waste to major cities worldwide, one after another.
OperatorThe disaster that sparked this global calamity has been dubbed "the Shinjuku Inferno."
OperatorOur sole hope may lie with you, now that you've been flung into the past. You may be able to avert our impending doom.
OperatorI have no proof of this, of course. No one's ever tried to rewrite the past before. All we can do is have faith in you.
OperatorI need you to find information about this Shinjuku Inferno, so keep up your investigation. I'm counting on you.
