[Staff Room, floor two]
MASKED GUY: I'm glad to be rid of my leg hair, but I don't like being forced to come to the assembly. When I found the invitation at the bottom my lunch box, I was so shocked! Are they spying on me?
MASKED GIRL: I found one in my bag yesterday--I feel like I'm being stalked. It's creepy, but I heard that if you don't go... I really had no choice. 
MAYA: Assembly... what kind of assembly is this? It seems like someone called them here...this is highly suspicious. 
LISA: There's one of these clubs at school too, but what's up with having to come to a place like this?
YUKINO: Eikichi's not here either. Shouldn't we hurry to catch up with him?

[Upon reaching the third floor]
YUKINO: This vibe... it's Eikichi. Suou, he's calling us. 

[Third Floor Staff Room]
MASKED YOUTH: So you're here for the first time? They're saying that everyone who comes today is, too. To get a mask, don't you need a card from the lady? And without a mask, you can't go in.
YUKINO: Suou, you handle a katana pretty well. I knew this guy who also used a sword, but you don't compare to him. Do you have confidence in your technique?
 

- I guess.	YUKINO: Heh, I knew it. Hey, how about we start a contact combo together?
- Not really.	You suck. Don't pick this.

MAYA: Lady? Masks? Cards? It's downright fishy! There's definitely something up! But if it gets us in...
LISA: Dammit, Captain Underwear isn't here either! He's the kind of person who makes trouble for the whole group by acting on his own! 
MASKED HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT [wearing a Karukozaka uniform]: I lost the mask they gave me! I thought I was screwed, but luckily, there were extras in the cardboard box. 
MASKED HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT [wearing an St. Hermelin uniform]: At first, I thought this whole assembly thing was a drag, but if I think of it as a free ticket to a party, I'm thrilled! I was worried about my big mouth, but that's been solved.

[Outside the Party Room]
ZODIAC STAFF: Welcome, My Brother! Enter the dance room! There's a hot party taking place right this very moment!

[Inside the Party Room]
[Masked people watch as four students from Kasu High beat up Eikichi. Sugimoto watches smugly, with Hanaji crying next to him.]
SUGIMOTO: Hey, hey, behave. Even if we don't tie 'im down he ain't going anywhere. How about it? Y'wanna take your underwear off?
[Everyone laughs, and in response Eikichi's Persona aura flares.]
(Hiroki Sugimoto: The new head of Kasu High, he's rumored to be stronger than the former captain. Back in Middle School he lost to Eikichi and reluctantly become his follower. Apparently he's been waiting for his chance to rebel.)
SUGIMOTO: Oops! Y'know what we'll do to this little girl here if you call your god of death? 
KASU HIGH STUDENT: Without your god of death, you're no better than us!
KASU HIGH STUDENT: Weren't you the one always saying, "don't bully the weak?" That's cause you're weak yourself!
SUGIMOTO: Look at you, you're black and blue! You really care about this girl so much? 
EIKICHI: Say what? Okay, that's it... if you lay one finger on Hanakouji-san, I'll make you sorry your parents ever met!
SUGIMOTO: Huh? What are you talking about? Hanakouji is--
HANAJI: Stop! Don't say it! I beg of you, don't say it!
SUGIMOTO: Hyahyahyahya! You don't know? This girl is Hanakouji!
EIKICHI: Is that true? Are you really Miyabi Hanakouji-san? 
MIYABI: I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
EIKICHI: Why? Why didn't you tell me? I...
MIYABI: I couldn't bear to let you know!
SUGIMOTO: You were a thing? Piggy is the perfect match for you!
EIKICHI: It's not like that! I admired Hanakouji-san!
MIYABI: !
SUGIMOTO [laughs]: Her? You admired her? Hahahahahah!
EIKICHI: You asshole! You can do whatever to me, but I won't let anyone laugh at Hanakouji-san!
SUGIMOTO: You still don't get it? Look! 
[Sugimoto slaps Miyabi.]
MIYABI: Aaaah!
LISA: That bastard! All right, I'll call my Persona-
YUKINO: Wait! We can't help out; it's a critical moment. I know it's hard, but this is Eikichi’s fight!
LISA: I can't watch this! Fan ah! I feel sorry for him! Tatsuya, we gotta do something!
 

- Save him.	Don't pick this.
- Watch how things go.	["Watch how things go" is the better decision overall. That's the scene laid out here.]

[Pick "Watch how things go."]
EIKICHI: I get it, Sugimoto. Do whatever you want to me, just let her go.
SUGIMOTO: Looks like you're finally ready to cooperate... hahahah! Okay! I'm not going to hold back--It's payback time!
EIKICHI: Man, are you still upset about that time I made you take off your underwear?
SUGIMOTO: O-of course! Because of you, I... my girlfriend dumped me!
EIKICHI: Isn't it really because you're the kind of jerkoff who bullies the weak? 
SUGIMOTO: Lies! You're lying, lying! It's your fault! It's all your fault!
[The head goes to fight Eikichi, swinging his fist many times, but he keeps missing.]
SUGIMOTO [panting]: Shit! The Head's stronger than the Captain!
EIKICHI: Then I quit!
SUGIMOTO: Huh?
[Eikichi punches Sugimoto, who falls over. The lackeys and audience flee.]
EIKICHI: Just 'cause the Head's stronger than the Captain doesn't mean that Hiroki Sugimoto is stronger than Eikichi Mishina! The underwear's in the past, but I'm gonna pay you back for all the times you hit me up to now.

[The scene blackouts for a second. When it comes back, Sugimoto is all beat up.]

SUGIMOTO: Ugh! Forgive me! Do anything you want, but don't pull down my underwear!
EIKICHI: I can't blame Sugimoto--I did the same things. I kept saying, "don't beat up on the weak," as though I were more just, but I was fooling myself. Just 'cause I can call on Personae is no reason to go beating up others... there's no real skill in that!
LISA: Aiya? What happened to "shoot first, ask questions later?" I have to admit, you were pretty cool!
MAYA: Yeah! Without your Persona you turned into quite the man!
EIKICHI: Sorry to worry you guys. Anyway, I'm retiring. Uh, Hanakouji-san... are you okay?
MIYABI: I'm sorry, Eikichi-kun! I caused you so many problems... I'm really, really sorry!
EIKICHI: Forget about me. I'm more worried about you--how's that cut on your face?
[Eikichi takes a few steps towards Miyabi.]
MIYABI: No! Don't look, Eikichi-kun... I'm sorry!
[Miyabi runs away.]
EIKICHI: Hanakouji-san?
YUKINO: Alright, come clean or else we'll make you sorry for a lot more than just underwear!
SUGIMOTO: I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!
YUKINO: Why did you tell the Kasu High students to spread the rumor about Sevens’ emblem being cursed?
SUGIMOTO: The student council president told me to! He said if I helped bring down Sevens’ reputation, with Joker's help he'd make me the Head!
EIKICHI: That asshole... I blew him off, so he went after Sugimoto instead!
MAYA: What kind of assembly is this?
SUGIMOTO: Those guys all had wishes granted by Joker, so they gotta enter this secret association-today was supposed to be the entrance ceremony. I also heard that a 'Lady Scorpio' is an executive officer and was gonna come today. Today was my first time too, but I swear I'll quit! Please let me go...
EIKICHI: I actually believe you... okay, I'll forgive you. But don't get mixed up with the Joker again!
LISA: Now we know the source of the rumors--fingers point to the Kasu High student council president. Let's find him in the act and make him 'fess up!
[Tatsuya takes out and flicks his lighter.]

[The next target area is Kasugayama High School, in Hirasaka. Head over whenever you're ready.]
 

[Ramen Shiraishi]
MAYA: Yukki, what's wrong? You look upset.
YUKINO: It's nothing. I'm just thinking about that Anna girl at the Zodiac. I'm worried about her.
LISA: I gotta wonder what Anna-san was doing at the Zodiac. Maybe she was also invited to the entrance ceremony.
EIKICHI: But that chick left early…if she was there for the ceremony, she'd have stuck around.

[Toa Defense]
STRANGE LADY: Even after turning into a guy, I still get groped! The last time it happened, I told the jerk that I was a guy, and when he didn't believe me, I showed him the evidence! He ran back crying to Kuzunoha.
MAYA: But, Eikichi-kun, now that you've quit being the Captain, what will you do? 
EIKICHI: I'm going to be the vocalist in a viz rock band, of course!
LISA: Lisa's Lecture on Chinese, Part 17! Baibai means 'good-bye.' Easy, huh?
YUKINO: I wouldn't say this of you, Suou, but these days a lot of guys care only about their looks and hair. They can do what they like, but I think that men should show their balls a little more. Like Eikichi, for example... and him....

[Hirasaka's Satomi Tadashi]
MAYA: Oh yeah, the stores in the Satomi Tadashi chain each have their own song. I like the one here.
YUKINO: An old friend of mine had a weak spot for the songs from these stores, like Maya-san does. I wonder what he thinks of them now?
EIKICHI: Huh? Be quiet for a sec. I'm trying to think of what type of decorations would do justice to the Gas Chamber's debut.
LISA: Eikichi should do a cover of this song. He'd have at least some fans--the kind of people who fit neatly into molds.

[Tominaga Chiropractic]
LISA: Everyone's willing to put up with this place. Don't they mind getting groped by that old man? Fan ah!
EIKICHI: Heh heh, pursuing beauty is harsh on the body. Even for geniuses with their heads in the clouds, the body is fragile.
MAYA: Does Eikichi-kun come here so often because his poses wrench his back? Life's hard on vain people.
YUKINO: I'm not sure I really trust that guy... chiropractics is to heal the back, right? Can we really trust him?

[Gatten Sushi]
EIKICHI: Miyabi Hanakouji-san... is she okay? Maybe she went back to her usual haunt. Suou, let's check out the Peace Diner.
MAYA: Masquerade... Masquerade... masks... I can't believe that masquerade was some ordinary entrance ceremony.
LISA: Do you agree with Maya-san? A secret club… isn't it some society’s indoctrination ceremony?
YUKINO: Masks, masks... it's hard to believe that the mask thing is just some coincidence. 

[Velvet Room]
EIKICHI: The student president is Yasuo... he's the kind of guy you gotta keep an eye on. He's always got some scheme or another going. For various reasons, the guys in the gang hate him. I'm surprised he was elected.
YUKINO: I thought that you had to be popular to be the student president, but listening to Eikichi, the case seems otherwise. 
LISA: I bet the Kasugayama High School president got some favor out of Joker. This rumor-thing is suspicious. 
MAYA: Come to think of it, Kasugayama High School's student body president is infamous even at my job. I hear he's a pretty lousy student body president, too...

[Tony's Shop]
YUKINO: Quitting being Captain took courage. But the load on his shoulders is lighter--he might grow up yet.
MAYA: It's Eikichi-kun! Now that he's quit, he'll quickly find a new goal. No, he probably already knows it. 
EIKICHI: Heh heh heh, Maya-nee understands me. I've locked on a new target--having the most famous male voice!
LISA: Goal... goal… Tatsuya, do you actually have one? I forget…

[Anima Mundi]
EIKICHI: The student president... that asshole Yasuo, what's he up to this time, making deals with the Joker?
MAYA: A masquerade is a costume ball, right? Again with the masks! I don't think it's a coincidence...
YUKINO: At Sevens’ clock tower, Hannya said something about 'heil mask.' Could that be referring to the Masquerade?
MANNEQUIN: Is this all on one tab? I guess it can't be helped, though frankly, I don't want to sell anything to the high-strung girl.
LISA: Did you hear that, Tatsuya? That Mannequin doesn't want to sell anything to me! Don't you think that's totally rude? [1]

[1] "Mannequin" is just the word for a saleslady.

[Peace Diner]
EIKICHI: Hanakouji-san... where did you go? As long as you're safe…
LISA: If Eikichi resigns, then I can't call him Captain Underwear anymore. That's no fun! Is he really quitting?
YUKINO: By the looks of the entrance ceremony, the Joker's already got a huge organization, doesn't he? This might be difficult.
MAYA: What kind of an organization is the Joker pulling together? We can't see its purpose...

[Yumesaki's Satomi Tadashi]
LISA: Eikichi forgave Sugimoto too easily. I thought he was going to make him pull down his underwear!
MAYA: The student president was probably using Sugimoto-kun--there's no reason to blame him. Eikichi-kun probably saw that.
EIKICHI: Does Ginko hear what she's saying? Girls shouldn't talk about that kind of stuff. I wish she'd act more like Hanakouji-san.
YUKINO: Heh heh, Lisa's calling Eikichi by name! Maybe she's changed her mind about him. 

[Bikini Line]
LISA: Hmph. Eikichi was such an ass, but now he's almost cool. But... oh, whatever.
YUKINO: Geez, it's okay because everything turned out all right, but what if something had gone wrong? Did Eikichi even think about that? 
MAYA: Still, Eikichi-kun rocked at the secret club! When he has to do something, he goes right ahead! Just what you'd expect from a Captain. I've changed my mind about him.
EIKICHI: Just like you, Maya-nee, to be the first to realize how cool I now am! The journalists at Coolest are on the ball!

[Honmaru Park]
SHADOW PERSON: I don't feel a thing, but it's kinda nice. I have no wishes or dreams... I feel so light...
YUKINO: I don't what kind of guy that student president is, but he bossed Sugimoto around. I don't like him--he plays dirty!
MAYA: Hey, Eikichi-kun, you must know a lot about the student president. What's he like?
EIKICHI: He's a bastard. He's always up to something; he never learns!
LISA: This just keeps getting more and more complicated. It's all part of some big conspiracy that goes as high as the student president...I can't believe it!

[Silverman House]
LISA'S DAD: I heard that Kasugayama High School is holding a Masquerade party, but really, to be a Japanese school and have a dance party? It's pathetic. Shouldn't they be doing nichibu [2]? We can pass on Japan's traditions to the next generation.
MAYA: If it were just nichibu there'd be no worries; but things are different with a dance party.
YUKINO: Japan has so many rich traditions! Though maybe only the foreigners appreciate it.
EIKICHI: Nichibu, huh... ah... is Ginko good at it 'cause she's been tutored? 
LISA: What, nichibu? I can't do it! My specialty is dancing, hahaha...

[Time Castle]
RECENTLY BECOME RICH WOMAN: Ever since I've become rich, my memory's gotten worse. I keep forgetting my son's name. It's Takeshi, but, hahaha... it's terrible of me. Say, do you know Kasugayama High School's captain Eikichi? They seem to be close.
EIKICHI: Oh Suou, what do I tell her?
LISA: Did she ask the Joker to become rich? It can't be...
YUKINO: If you become a Shadow Person, even your parents forget you? How sad.
MAYA: A person can live only as long as their life lasts. By living every moment to its fullest, you release light. Nobody has the right to take that light from anyone!

[Rosa Candida]
MAYA: Oh my god! This outfit's made out of paper! What’s with this store? It costs ¥180,000! [3]
YUKINO: The city I used to live in, Mikage-cho, also had a Rosa Candida. It was expensive there, too--things never change.
LISA: Lisa's Lecture on Chinese, Part 16! Hoh yi means, 'okaaay'! You can use it when you agree. Easy, right?
EIKICHI: I hope that in Hirasaka something besides survival stores opens up--I want the city to have an elegance worthy of me. 

[2] ["Shouldn't they be doing nichibu?"] Nichibu is traditional Japanese dance, which, trust me, would not be done at a normal modern dance party. 
[3] ["It costs ¥180,000!"] Approximately $1,800. Who'd buy that?
