Chapter 9: The Weight of Guilt

Navigate the twists and turns of Lost Judgment's Chapter 9, 'The Weight of Guilt.' From confronting Tesso to uncovering secrets on a flash drive, we've got your back.

Alright, let's dive into Chapter 9 of Lost Judgment, 'The Weight of Guilt.' This chapter throws some serious curveballs at you, so stick close and we'll get through it together.

First up, you'll get a call from the mysterious Siren owner, asking to meet you at the bar Survive. He mentions a ten-minute timer, but honestly, don't stress too much about it – the taxis are all available. Just head over there however you like, whether it's a quick taxi ride or even some skating if you're feeling adventurous. Once you arrive, have a chat with him and ask all the questions you can think of. Don't expect too many answers, though. After that, it's time to head back to Yokohama 99.

As soon as you get back, you'll be ambushed by Tesso and the Liumang. They've got it in their heads that you're the reason RK is causing trouble in town. You'll have to fight Tesso and a whole crew of his goons. Be ready, because when Tesso's health gets low, even more guys will jump into the fray. Tesso himself is no pushover; he's got flips, throwing knives, and his signature claws, all of which can inflict bleeding. So, keep your guard up and be prepared for a tough fight.

Once you've dealt with Tesso and his crew, head inside the office. It's time to see what's on that flash drive. What you'll find is pretty disturbing stuff. After watching the video, you'll need to examine the four faces shown. Make a note that the girl's current name is 'Yui Mamiya.' Then, pay attention to the timestamp in the video. This will lead you to the yearbook. You'll be able to look at a few things, but focus on the teacher's picture. The prompt you'll get asks about the goal 'to get revenge on the bullies.' Your next move is to present the 'bullying video.' This will point you towards your next lead: talking to Yui Mamiya again. After that, you can crash on the couch for the night.

We're finally back in a 'daytime' section, which feels like ages ago since Chapter 6! If there are any daytime-exclusive activities you've been meaning to do, now's the perfect time. This is also your first real chance to complete all the School Stories. Just remember that the Biker Gang story needs to be tackled at night. Once you've wrapped up any loose ends, find Sugiura in the office and let him know you're ready to proceed.

When you arrive at Mamiya's apartment, press her hard on your questions. Make sure to select 'The groping was orchestrated' as the third option. Then, present the 'Mitsuru Kusumoto's Bullying Video.' After this confrontation, you'll have to fight four masked men. They're not too difficult if you can manage to dodge their attacks. Once everything is settled, speak to Mamiya one last time. You'll witness the case completely unravel before your eyes.

Now, you need to head back to the Yagami Detective Agency. Get ready for a pretty lengthy conversation that eventually leads into a chase across a good chunk of Kamurocho. Successfully complete the chase, and you'll find yourself in a final fight against seven masked men. This battle is only a bit tougher than the previous masked men encounter and marks the end of this chapter.
