You can throw your mask away
No more pretending
You've been tied down for the longest of time
Be free
You deserve better
You should forever be free....

Ryuji: Guys!! Guys are you okay?
Ryuji: God damnit. I'm so sore. I was in the hospital all night...broken ribs...
Makoto: Broken RIBS!?
Ann: We got caught in a fight between the protestors and the police while we were rushing home.
Makoto: Ann! Did you get hurt too!?
Ann: I'm alright. Ryuji suffered the worst...I just have a sprained shoulder...
Yusuke: My gosh....I can't believe the violence...
Haru: Are you guys alright!? Did anyone else get hurt?
Yusuke: There were riots all night in my dorms...I didn't get hurt, but I couldn't sleep all night. We were all evacuated and had to take shelter in the gymnasium...
Makoto: My sister had me sleep at the Police station last night. Our apartment building was being overrun by protestors..
Kasumi: I couldn't sleep either. There were gunshots and pipebombs going off all night. It was terrifying to hear.
Haru: There were multiple attempts to break into my home. There were so many looters out, I couldn't rest for even a second..
Ryuji: Damn...it's affected every one of us. They're saying the people are angry at the fact that the government is trying to cover up Shido's death..
Ann: Does anyone know if Akechi was really seen killing Shido?
Makoto: There are signs with his face everywhere...they're calling him a terrorist...
Haru: Someone must have seen him. Apparently the activists' that started all this have a picture of Akechi pointing a gun at Shido..
Yusuke: And now all of Tokyo is falling into hysteria..
Ryuji: Wait. What about Ren, Morgana, Akechi and Futaba?
Ryuji: Have you guys heard from them?
Yusuke: Not a single thing. They took off back to LeBlanc after we separated yesterday..
Kasumi: Could they...have been arrested?
Makoto: I was with the police all night. None of them came into the station.
Haru: Oh thank goodness..
Ann: I hope they didn't get caught by the mobs..or injured...
Yusuke: Keep an eye out for them. If anyone hears anything, let us know.

(Akechi's P.O.V, the morning after the shooting)
I could feel my phone vibrating in my pocket, but I didn't make a single move to check it.
"Dark Sun....whenever you rise.....day turns...to night......"
It was a song I'd heard once. No matter how many times I tried to push it out of my mind, it always seemed to come back, like a butterfly trapped in a cage.
