Guided by Naoto's glowing stamp board, Y/N's group has to exit the unoccupied city and be greeted with what looks like a peculiar extended tower not too far away from them. The tower is shrouded in cloud and mist, but it's still visible to see its silhouette.

Naoto: "Well, isn't that ominous."

Yumi: "As a spectator, I assume?"

Y/N: "Pretty much."

Naoto: "Huh... weird."

Y/N: "This whole world is weird, Naoto!"

Naoto: "Even so, I think we're getting closer. Look."

As they stroll through this arena further, their stamp boards are becoming more illuminated.
