"It got destroyed," Emil responds, firmly. "That whole memory stick got destroyed. And I don't think you can just... go back to that underwater place and retrace your steps, anymore than I could go back into space." He frowns tightly. "I wish we could talk to Surina. She said she's going to monitor us. Hey Surina, if you can hear this, can you send some proof down to Togusa please?"
He looks up and.
Nothing.
Boo.
"But... if we say it's true, then. Is everything else that's been happening a hiccup? And who are Jim and Janet? Have you talked to anyone else who's back yet? We should... get everyone's stories together. Before we all start to forget or before it... becomes confused."
Okay, that was- kind of adorable. Togusa has to try not to smile when Emil does that. It's maybe a little comforting that they have a few of those people (?) who are out there and would help them, though.
"Kind of wish I could go back to those caves, though," Togusa mutters. The pictures are still up on his computer.
"I talked to a few people. I saw Dante, talked at length with Tatsuo. I was really worried about him. But, I think we're going to get a bunch of us together. They spread us cops out to the four winds, so on the plus side, it means we each probably brought back different information."
"Alright, that's good." He nods. "Maybe we should write it down somewhere and make copies, in case those get forgotten about too." Now you've got him all paranoid. "It's worth a try, anyway. I talked to Dante too, I really hope they found who murdered those kids." He makes a face. "These just all seem... really weird, you know? Like a strange dream."
Wait. Stop. Emil. Emil. Just because Togusa talked to Dante does not mean Dante shared with Togusa what he'd been through. "...What?" His voice is so quiet, but absolutely firm. "Emil. What did Dante tell you?" He'd heard about Ryoji. But nothing more. Fear and a sharp worry (protectiveness? but didn't he say he had to quit that?) fall into place over the desire to unravel this Retrospec mystery. He is completely tense but waits for Emil's explanation.
That's great because Dante didn't tell Emil about Ryoji or anything. In fact, Emil still thinks Ryoji's alive and kicking, so... "Oh, he said he wound up at some haunted mansion and there were kids that were murdered? I guess they had to solve it to get further, we got a bunch of those too, like the mad scientist? I mean nobody was murdered recently, there was Halliday and the dead werewolf but also the live harpy lady? Okay, but no, no, I think Dante was just helping the family. Sad to think about..."
