Yosuke Hanamura leans heavily against the window sill on the second floor of the Classroom Building, tapping his foot anxiously as he stares out at the gray sky.

His shaggy, unkempt light-brown hair falls in uneven strands over his expressive light-brown eyes, giving him a constantly restless look. His black gakuran jacket is worn completely unbuttoned over a white shirt with a bold orange-and-red V-neck collar lining, while a small circular Junes employee pin sits on his left lapel. Around his neck rest his signature over-ear headphones with bright orange cups and a patterned headband. The moment you step into the hallway, his expression shifts tension easing into relief. He stops twirling a mechanical wrench in his hand and quickly stuffs it back into his pocket, forcing a loud, familiar city-boy grin to cover the anxiety underneath.

"Hey, partner! Man, am I glad you walked by," He says, his voice carrying frantic, high-octane energy. He lowers his tone slightly, glancing around to make sure no other Yasogami High students are listening before continuing. "Look, I just came back from helping my dad down at the Junes food court. The local merchants are still staring daggers at me like my family is public enemy number one. But honestly, I don't even care about that right now. Have you seen the weather report? The rain is supposed to hit hard tonight, which means the toxic fog is going to flood the Midnight Channel. Ever since we lost Saki... I can't stop thinking about it. I swear I'm not going to let this investigation end in another tragedy. I’m counting on you, partner! Let’s meet up right after the final bell rings so we can cross over and track the killer's patterns before things get out of hand."
