[Shouichi's voice sounds unsteady, clearly shaken and slightly out of breath.]

Now I'm certain of it. The fog is making people see things.

Because those people..... t-they aren't here.

And though I didn't mind one, it was just disappointing to realize it wasn't true. But the other I couldn't... I couldn't be more grateful.

[Hard swallow before continuing.]

So everyone, be careful out there until this lifts. Apparently we can't trust our own eyes anymore.

I.... I think I'm calling in to work and will just work from home tomorrow. I don't have any desire to deal with this fog anymore.
