Evening

Dojima is actually home tonight.

"Hey Y/n, how're things? You should be used to life here by now. I guess we really haven't had the time to talk like this since you got here, huh? Uhh, well, how's school?" He asked

"It's fun." I said. Not really, it's more the after school activities I enjoy.

"I see, that's good to hear. Your school days will be over before you know it. Make sure to have fun while you can. What else? Oh yeah, how about your friends? Looks like you made plenty of them. I'm not saying who you can and can't hang out with, but, you know what I'm talking about right?" He asked

"Say it straight out." Because I am confused as hell

"You got guts. For some reason, whenever there's an incident, there you are. That's not going to look good on you, especially because of your record. We were lucky we were able to keep that quiet. I wish I didn't have to consider this, but the killings began right about when you got to town. My job is all about eliminating the random element, I only look at the facts. If you keep getting caught up in my job, then-"

Nanako walked up to us,

"What's wrong? Big bro didn't do anything bad." She said

"I-I know, I didn't mean it like that." Dojima said

"But you're bullying him." She said

"I'm not bullying him, we're just having a little talk. It's getting late, go to sleep." He said

"Ok."

Nanako walked off to her room.

"Sheesh, she's really taking a shine to you. Look, just don't get yourself involved in anything dangerous, as long as you're safe, everything's fine. Your siblings didn't ask me to raise your grades or anything." He said

It seems like Dojima is actually concerned about me, I didn't get that vibe when we first met, maybe I misjudged him a bit.

"Things might be a little bit different from what you're used to, but this is a good town. Though, it's a little dangerous right at the moment. Now then, it's about time for you to turn in. Get some sleep. 'Night." He said

I said goodnight to Dojima, then I headed on upstairs for bed.

May 7

It's pouring again, and will apparently be going till evening. Well, such is life.

After school, in the classroom. It's currently thundering outside.

"Hey Chie, I bought you a new copy of that "Trial of the Dragon" flick. It was a greatest punches version for 980 yen. If I had known then, I'd have just replaced it instead of buying you grilled steak." Yosuke said

The thunder crackled again.

"It's clearly getting closer." Chie said nervously

"Huh? What are you, scared of a little lightning?" Yosuke said

"Quiet you! I'd be a goner if even one of those things hit me! Ahhh!" She said as it crackled again.
