The Journey
The Answer
The Answer presents a flashback to Akihiko's recruitment to S.E.E.S. at the end of the second dungeon, Caina. The memory depicts Akihiko at the end of junior high school, being hounded by fangirls and a boxing scout trying to recruit Akihiko to a rival school. Once alone, Akihiko is then approached by Mitsuru Kirijo, who introduces herself as a fellow third-year, and tells him she has enemies that need defeating. She states that the enemies are "related to what you've recently been experiencing each midnight", and that she experiences the same phenomena as he does. After handing him an Evoker, the flashback ends.
