You were back in the T.V. world again. As far as you could tell, the surroundings changed every time you visited. A weird fog at the end of a corridor a little ways away intrigued you; while Souji and Yosuke were discussing the girls with Teddie, you snuck off in the direction of the mist.

Around the middle of the hallway-although you weren't sure exactly where you were- you found yourself completely engulfed in the strange fog. It was so thick, you could hardly see your hand reaching out to feel along the wall. You felt calm, even though you knew that this dimension was dangerous. It was exciting to finally be able to explore on your own without the boys tagging along! You were vaguely aware of someone calling your voice from the way you came.

"_{y/n}_! Where'd you go?" Did Yosuke actually sound.. concerned? Nah, couldn't be. The fog was probably just making it hard to hear. You continued down the corridor and ended up in a room.

Wait, this was weird. It felt familiar here. Had you been here before? Before you could place the sensation of deja vu and connect it with a previous visit, you felt a hand grip your shoulder. You whipped around.

"Oh, hey, _{y/n}_. Sorry for startling you." There was a man standing a foot away, still awkwardly holding your shoulder. He seemed to notice this at the same time you did, and he quickly removed his hand and rubbed his neck with it. "S-sorry. So you got lost, too?"

You weren't sure how to reply. He obviously knew you from somewhere, but wher- oh! He was that detective that worked with Souji's uncle. Adachi Tohru. This was the first time you had seen him so casually dressed, though; normally he donned a suit that didn't really match his young face. And what was he even doing in the T.V. world?

"Actually, I was just interested by something I saw down this way." You shrugged. Did Adachi always look so smug? "Although I guess I'm lost now, since the others probably went off without me." Yeah, he definitely looked cocky.

"So that just leaves us, huh?" He moved forward by a step and you instinctively inched back. Whatever he was hinting at, you didn't think it would end well. The two of you continued your odd dance, him advancing, you retreating. That is, until your back bumped into something. You found yourself flush against a wall of the small room, with the older man holding you in place with his body.

"..Mr. A-Adachi?" You stammered out. One of his hands came up to cup your cheek, and the other entwined with your fingers. You closed your eyes and willed yourself to believe this wasn't happening. 'Not here!' your thoughts frantically screamed. When no further contact was initiated, you cracked open one of your eyes. Adachi was standing a foot away from you with a confused look twisting his usually pleasant features.

"Something wrong, _{y/n}_? C'mon, let's go find the others!" Now it was your turn to look baffled. It was when he practically dragged you out of the room that you realized he was still grasping your hand, and you surprisingly didn't care. In fact, were you blushing...?
