[center][h3]Photo Finish Finale! F2
3/5/2015 Sunday[/h3][/center]

With the chance Noboru had given them, the party laid into the Mantis with all they had, it's blades broke, it's shell cracked and shattered, and it's entire body lit aflame. It stood no chance once it was caught. After some moments it shrieked in agony, before turning back into shadowy dust.

[color=magenta]"Good work! The way should be clear now"[/color], [/i]and it was so. The party agreed to keep moving, and they moved onto an area filled with portraits, or rather, a straight hallway upstairs. The entire path also looked a little like a runway... As they stepped through, the party could hear a voice.

[i]"Take this for good luck, with it, I'm sure you'll pass the audition! ... I'm proud of you..."[/i], after the 'I'm proud of you', there was an inaudible mumble, like a name... In any case, they would find out who it was they are rescuing at the end of this.

[color=magenta][i]"This is... This is to the final floor"[/i][/color],

[color=slategray]"Understood, entering now"[/color], the party wasn't going to stop. As they ascended the stairs, they were met with a new sight. Rui facepalmed himself as he recognized who it was in the center of this camera-filled room. It was that girl, Chiaki, and now he remembers where he saw her before that, she was a model and he'd seen her a few times in magazines. But it looked like something was going down between Chiaki and... Another Chiaki? Likely her Shadow.
