[Sometime during the day, Naoto will find herself recieving a telepathic message from Kyoko. She sounds more than worn out, she sounds outright exhausted, like all the life has been drained out of her. There's frustration in her voice, but not her usual snide annoyance or even the stark anger that comes out on the occasion--it's defeated and miserable.]
Yo.
Dunno if this is any safer than using the network or talking in person, but it's gotta be worth a shot. Those of us that were "in control" after being brainwashed? Yeah, we were just putting on an act. Pretty clever, huh? All that time, all I could think about was collecting information for that bastard. In the end, he forced us to report everything we heard and...
[She pauses now, seeming to be searching for the right words.]
Damn it, you should never have said anything to me.
[Even though she knew what had happened to Kyoko, Naoto had placed her faith in her. That stings. She wants to criticize her more, but she can't find the words.]
...be careful.
[Like that ever helped anyone. With those parting words, she falls silent.]
[Naoto will find a letter and one deku nut in her mailbox that was placed there very early that morning. ...It's a very familiar handwriting style, even if it is unsigned.]
Naoto-kun,
It's been a while since we met face-to-face. We should fix this. Meet me outside the restrooms on the dorm floor and make sure to lose any stalkers if you picked one up. I'm told this nut should help, but close your eyes when you toss it to the ground. It causes a bright flash of light.
Meet me inside the boy's restroom on the 5th of May. I can't speak anywhere else with the units stalking me, and they are the only places where no one is followed. The sauna seems to have been leaked when most of our activities were reported as well. Not like it's stopped us before, but I thought you'd like to know.
The Investigation Team is back in action. Be prepared to help us scold Hanamura for flying so low below the radar.
Regards, Narukami Yu
