It's been only a few minutes since Ryo... no, Masato fled from the Millennium Tower, leaving an unconscious officer in his wake. It took a lot of convincing, but the brass let you leave to find him and talk him down. Luckily, it didn't take long as you saw him standing in front of the coin lockers nearby.

You knew you'd find him there. It was almost poetic, going to the place it all started after everything came to an end. Hearing your footsteps, he'd turn his bruised face towards you, his brows furrowing as he heard you tell him just that. Of course, this only resulted on him firing at your feet with his former hostage's gun, causing you to take a step back.

After taking a few shaky breaths, he'd lower his weapon as he slowly approached the lockers. His hand and forehead rest on the one from that fateful night as he reflects on everything that led up to this point.

"...Do you remember Yumeno?", he suddenly asks, not even giving you the chance to answer. He mentions how she ended up marrying Horinouchi, and that they crossed paths years later at his party. Of course, she never recognized him.

"And do you know what she said to me?", he asks, a strained smile crossing his face. "You're clearly very bright and sophisticated. She said that!", he exclaims through pained laughter, flopping back against the lockers while pounding his weapon against the metal. "Hilarious, right?! Can you believe the same person who called me creepy and threatening behind my back could turn around and say that?! ...That's how fragile it was. The power I changed my name and body for. The power I was more than willing to kill for."

Feeling sorry for old friend, you tried to get close to comfort him, only for him to step away from the lockers and press the barrel of the revolver against his temple. "All that, and still nobody could appreciate who I really was. I guess it comes with the territory of hating my weak, ugly self and my struggle to change that."

This was your final chance to save Masato from himself.
