Alongside the rest of the Investigation Team, Naoto is pulled into the TV by [[Margaret]], and she names the Haniwa all around the area as they acclimate to their surroundings.<ref>{{Cite Game|quote='''Yukiko Amagi:''' Oh! These are... / '''Naoto Shirogane:''' Haniwa, it would seem.|title={{Link|Game|P4G}}|developer=ATLUS|publisher=ATLUS|platform=|version=|lang=|transl=}}</ref> She quietly listens to Margaret and the Protagonist as they explain the situation, though when Margaret mentions that [[Marie (Persona 4 Golden)|Marie]] had come into the TV world of her own volition, she asks if she had the same [[Persona (Concept)|Persona]] abilities as the rest of the group.<ref>{{Cite Game|quote='''Margaret:''' I do not think that this is the same situation. I believe Marie's disappearance is unrelated to the "kidnapping incident" you all were following. She was not taken away by someone. Rather, she came here of her own volition. / '''Naoto Shirogane:''' She willingly came here... Does that mean Marie-san has the Persona ability as well?|title={{Link|Game|P4G}}|developer=ATLUS|publisher=ATLUS|platform=|version=|lang=|transl=}}</ref> Later, Naoto confirms her belief that Margaret had brought the entire Investigation Team into the TV world so that they could choose whether or not to help the Protagonist find Marie and asks the [[Velvet Room]] attendant about her origins, though she makes it clear that where Margaret came from will not affect her decision to help.<ref>{{Cite Game|quote='''Margaret:''' The path ahead will be relentless. You alone will not be able to reach her... If you wish to see her again, then it is my role to help you. And to do so, I invited everyone who has accompanied you on your journey... here. / '''Naoto Shirogane:''' ...I see. I was wondering why you didn't bring just our leader here... Now I understand. You're giving us all the information and letting us choose what to do from here... You aren't here to stop us. / '''Margaret:''' Exactly. / '''Naoto Shirogane:''' One more thing... Well, this isn't going to affect whether or not I plan to help, but... You are also like Marie-san? A... "resident of this side?"|title={{Link|Game|P4G}}|developer=ATLUS|publisher=ATLUS|platform=|version=|lang=|transl=}}</ref> After Margaret finishes explaining the full context of the situation, the group resolve to save Marie, though Naoto recommends they return the next day to do so, as they are currently unprepared.<ref>{{Cite Game|quote='''Kanji Tatsumi:''' What else? That Marie chick is in here, right? If she's in danger of being attacked by Shadows, then we've gotta get in there and find her. / '''Naoto Shirogane:''' Hold on. It might not be that simple. Let us leave for now, at any rate. We cannot blindly run ahead so suddenly. / '''Yosuke Hanamura:''' ...Yeah. Plus, we're totally unprepared, right?

Back in the cottage, the Investigation Team discuss what they were told. Naoto calls into question Marie's motives to risk death in such a way, though she considers the possibility that Marie could have remembered something to cause her to shut herself away.<ref>{{Cite Game|quote='''Naoto Shirogane:''' ...The issue here is Marie-san's motive.

Teddie, Rise-san, can you scan that world? From the usual spot, of course. The rest of us should rest up to prepare for the exploration...
