That's right! I went with "Hikari." [Not gonna mention the specific spelling of it, but...] Good name for a little kid, don't you think?

[At the second part, he'll put down the food he'd gotten, grabbing something out of his pocket and turning to hold it up for Ayumu to see.

It's a small silver key.]

I woke up with this in my hand. Apparently Philemon told her to give it to the first Visitor to show up.

Lucky me, I suppose.

Cute. Sounds like you took a shine to her. [That's alright, it sounded similar enough to Hizumi's name he could guess some of the motivation behind it anyway. He eyes the key curiously, closing the lunchbox and stacking it with the others.]

Philemon wants the visitors to have it? Why?

[Philemon...Philemon... Something was nagging him about his involvement, but he couldn't quite...

He pauses in his motions of spooning rice into the bowl, eyes going slightly wide.] ...A golden butterfly.

No idea. She didn't even know what it was for.

[A shrug. But when Ayumu mentions the butterfly, he's back at attention.]

-? What about it?

...That dream I had a few days ago. [Damn, why didn't he realize it sooner? He sets down the rice scoop and bowl, before turning to face Hizumi with a frown.]

There was a golden butterfly in it. It landed on that mirror before it started showing all those things.

Figures. They weren't random at all.

[Thank you for the warning there, Philemon.]

Wonder what it all is supposed to mean? Watching out for danger is a given, but...

I don't know. If it's some sort of warning then we'd better be careful, but beyond that... [flying dead whales.]

...Wonder if they had flying whales once, to go with the dolphins...

[As much as he hates to say it...]

It's possible.

[He thinks back to his own dream, his eyes narrowing...]

...The chess game. Visitors were black, and... someone else was white. Black moved according to the rules, but the white pieces did whatever they wanted.

Of course they did. [He leans back on the counter, thinking. They were limited in what they could do, after all, with the mismash of visitors Philemon pulled in and their personas. It was a functional system, but they weren't really a trained, coherent defense force by any means.] White usually moves first.... so they might have an advantage of initiative too. Anything else you noticed?

[He shakes his head.]

Nothing in particular. I didn't bother to keep track of the moves - I didn't expect it to be anything significant at the time.

[...Even if a chess figure that looked like him was a rather heavy-handed metaphor.]

It was a dream.... I guess it's hard to remember every little detail. [He frowns in consideration, trying to figure out what to do.]

That key might be some sort of tool to help, maybe-- [Or not.] At least, he obviously wanted a visitor to use it somehow. But where? And for what?

Who knows. Leave it to Philemon to leave out all the important details.

[Jerk.]

I'll keep it with me and see if I can find anything. I wonder if that long-nosed guy knows anything...

He might. That's one mysterious room to poke around in, anyway. [In a city of mysteries, though, who's to say?]

If there's a place with a strong connection to Philemon, that'd have to be it.

[Considering who gave them the power to use personas in the first place...]

Yeah, it is. If it's going to be a place that makes the most sense, that would be it.

Putting it off is probably a bad idea, too...

[Sigh. Look at him being all responsible for once.]

D'you think we should grab Taro and head over later today?

[No need to make the tanuki feel left out.]

Sounds like a plan. We should probably figure this out as soon as possible. [He nods, settling down to eat his own breakfast. Today was looking like it was going to be busy-- all the more reason to eat.]

Guess I'll have to call in. "Sorry, Visitor stuff came up," should work, right?

[It's kind of amazing they haven't fired him yet. Must be that super charisma.]
