We took you to the hospital after the Dark Hour. The doctors said then there wasn't a chance of you waking up. We had to keep fighting, though... so we did. We took out the Shadow on the next Full Moon on the Moonlight Bridge. Strega attacked us too, but we beat them and then Jin and Takaka jumped off the bridge.

We all thought that was the end of it. Mitsuru-senpai got us a giant sushi platter to celebrate... it was really delicious by the way. [...Side tracking... she can't help but inject some levity into the story even though she'd just told him it was dark.] Her father even came to the party. But Aigis and Ikutsuki were late.

[She pointedly doesn't call him the Chairman, or even add an honorific to the title, and the reason why is fairly obvious in another minute.]

We found out why once the Dark Hour hit. It hadn't ended when we destroyed the Shadows after all. We all headed to Tartarus, and found Ikutsuki and Aigis there - he'd taken control of her. Everything he'd told us before was a lie. Destroying the Shadows wasn't ever going to end the Dark Hour... It was just Ikutsuki's plan. He wanted us to bring them together. He even doctored the footage of Yukari-chan's father to make us go after them. Mr. Takeba was really trying to protect everyone when he released them... because he knew if they did come back together, it would mean the end of the world.

[She takes a deep breath, trying to collect her thoughts before she continues.]
