It had been half a month since Naoto Shirogane had arrived in Vatheon. The young detective had been busy in her own way trying to help with the investigation. However now that that was over, she found that she had more time on her hands than she knew what to do with. She had originally wanted to look for her friends, however she had only heard from Adachi and now she was pretty sure he was no longer there. She believed that he would have responded to her request for a shooting range because of the sheer fact that that had been the only reason why he joined the force in the first place. He had admitted this much himself in their battle with him.

No, she believed no one of the team was there. She was on her own once again. Sure she had made an ally early on, but she had had little contact since he had gotten hurt during the case.

She stood near the plaza currently. She was staring up at the coral, still wearing the outfit she had arrived in - blue jacket with white trim and white-gold buttons, plaid pants, black shoes, a brown vest, white button up shirt, blue ribbon tied in a bow around her neck and her hat. She still tried to keep her male facade. She hadn't been found out by everyone yet.

She gazed at the coral and wondered how it brought her here, as well as why. She also wanted to take a look around her new area, see what choices she had and where she could go.

"You do not have to do so if you do not feel like it either," she spoke to him, "It is up to you what you do. And do not put yourself down. Even though you may not be useful in some ways, there are others that you can be just as helpful." She didn't even have to ask if he felt useless, because of her observation skills - and the fact that she has known people like this - she already knew.

She nods at hearing the number. "Two to four is a safe number of guards for a somewhat unrestricted visiting holding area. It keeps both the visitor and the prisoner safe should there be an altercation," she replied, "And knowing that split personalities are involved, it's good to have the extra hand in case more assistance is required."

And if needed she would always have her Persona, her gun with a set of rubber bullets and a set of blanks - she had at least been fortunate to fine some sort of gun shop. She would leave the real bullets at her apartment.

"Once I've had a chance to recover I'll be more useful, until then I'll mostly just be...recovering." Ky didn't want to talk about this too long, and certainly didn't wish Naoto to feel like he should be consoling him. The situation was Ky's to deal with, at least as far as his own recovery was related to it. But he would manage, it wasn't as though he really had a choice when it came to that.

"That's what I was hoping. Regardless of my ability to hold a sword, I do still have lightning magic should it come to that, and the ability to call for help. So far he has seemed more contrite than anything else."

She honestly didn't feel as though she were consoling him. She knew he didn't need consoling. No one did.

Upon hearing the status of the one called Riff, her brows furrow. He was making this too easy. Something in her gut said that something was wrong with this picture. She couldn't put her finger on it, but it was far far to easy.

"Why does this not feel right?" she uttered softly.

"Because it isn't. His hands shouldn't be broken, and even the fact that he gave himself up like this...

"While I think that he should honestly regret his actions, they weren't those of a man who would suddenly turn around and turn himself in. And if it's an alternate personality... It's because it's difficult to determine which way would be serving justice in this situation."

Naoto nodded. Something still didn't feel right, but she would not ask for further detail. While sometimes it was a good thing to know more, other times she knew she wanted to know too much. The culprit - Riff's - hands were broken.

"I... see..." Naoto isn't sure if she wanted to learn more of the situation. Not at this moment anyway.

"If there's any further way I can be of assistance..." Ky didn't have the impression that Naoto was being bothersome, but he didn't wish to press details on him, no need when the case as it was had already been solved.

"Otherwise I hope the rest of your day goes well."

Naoto shook her head. She didn't know of a way for him to be of more help. He was doing more than enough as it was. She hadn't even expected to be included on an investigation. But of course the case was over. She was not needed anymore.

"Thank you, Kiske-san. I hope your day goes well as well."
