The moment her psychic energy connected, the joyful atmosphere shattered. The air crackled with a malevolent hum, and the very fabric of the UG seemed to ripple. *GRRRROOOOWWWLLL!* From the shimmering haze of static, a formidable figure materialized directly in front of them, an Alterna Wolf. Its fur gleamed with an ethereal gold, its front legs and tail a vibrant, sinister purple. It was larger, more powerfully built than any Garage Wolf they'd encountered, its predatory growl vibrating through the invisible pavement. Its eyes, twin points of malevolent violet, fixed on them with chilling intensity. The Alterna Wolf threw back its head and let out a long, piercing howl. Causing a sickening thrum in Tsugumi and Ao's chests. As the howl faded...

Her eyes fluttered open to the familiar, unyielding landscape of AMX. The ever-present hum of Shibuya, the bustle of its populace, was the only sound. It was Day 6, only one more day to end this nightmare. Tsugumi pushed herself to her feet, her gaze sweeping across unfamiliar surroundings.

With no mission prompt, no sign of Ao, and the chilling realization that it was already Day 6, a desperate urgency clawed at her. Her mind raced, searching for a familiar anchor. Ao. Where would Ao be? A faint memory surfaced Ao's usual spot, the Statue of Hachiko's Sunshine Stationside. That was it. That was her best bet. Now, the challenge was getting there. She was on AMX.

She raised her dominant hand, activating her Scan psych, and began slowly turning, sweeping the entire area around the Statue of Hachiko. Her brow was furrowed in concentration, her eyes narrowed as she searched for any anomaly, any faint energy signature that Tsugumi's initial, more generalized scan might have missed. Tsugumi, meanwhile, opted for a different method. She lowered her own hand, relying on her physical senses, observing the static landscape of the UG with her keen eye. She scanned the visible space, looking for anything out of place, any subtle distortion, any hint of the elusive "Pig Noise" that the Reaper had so lazily demanded. Nothing. The area remained deceptively calm, populated only by the invisible, unmoving flow of background noise. Ao continued her p...
