Late-in the game, a political figure visits Yasoinaba, in there, the political figure visits Nanako's school where the political figure questions about their worries and the worsening fogs. Nanako instead gave an innocent yet genuine answer, which made her debut in the TV news report. However, Nanako's images was not shown, but merely mentioned. Later, when the Protagonist' activities revolving the murder cases and his receive of a threatening letter of murder has been discovered by Ryotaro Dojima, the Protagonist was detained in the police station. To make matters worse, the Investigation Team realizes Nanako is the next victim that appeared in the Midnight Channel.
Noticing that Nanako was in danger, the Investigation Team tries to reach the Protagonist and the Dojima residence. Along their way, Naoto Shirogane explains how the murderer manages to kidnap Nanako despite Nanako was not shown on TV: the reporters that happen to be in the incident of the Political figure's visit decided to show Nanako's photo and her quote in the newspaper.
Unfortunately, Nanako is eventually kidnapped. Gathering the salvaged and bits of clues Ryotaro Dojima managed to collect during his investigation, the Investigation Team eventually realizes the real murderer's identity: Namatame, the lover of the first victim, Mayumi Yamano. Tohru Adachi would later inform Ryotaro, and in a fit of rage, Ryotaro drives away to pursue Namatame. The chase ended with an accident, with Ryotaro suffering from severe wounds. Having no ways to escape, Namatame took Nanako to the Midnight Channel via the large-sized TV in his delivery truck.
Inside the Midnight Channel, Nanako created her reality, Heaven, which reflects her innocence and her wish to see her mother, whom Nanako believed to be ascended to Heaven after her death. The Investigation Team eventually managed to track down Nanako's location, and eventually manages to catch up Namatame and Nanako. Due to Nanako's age and apparent lack of emotional baggage that normally creates shadows, her own does not emerge, the party does however fight Namatame.
Though Namatame is subdued and defeated, the Investigation Team was shocked to learn that Nanako stayed in a coma after her kidnapping, due to her weak body for being unable to sustain the exposure of Midnight Channel. Nanako eventually awakes, but the doctor later reveals that in actuality they cannot indicate what is her problem, and are just using medical supports of alleviate her pain.
The Protagonist later have the option of visiting Nanako everyday, however, her condition worsens everytime the Protagonist visits her. Nanako's condition finally reaches critical when the Investigation Team members went to Junes to buy her a Christmas Present. Despite of the Doctor's effort, Nanako falls into a coma, with her last words calling to her father.
Devastated, Ryotaro Dojima ran to Namatame's room, but was later escorted by other policemen back to his room, giving the Investigation Team the opportunity to sneak in. Grief ridden and devastated, the Investigation Team tries to kill Namatame by pushing him trough the his hospital room's TV. Depending on the Protagonist' decisions of dealing with Namatame, Nanako may die or awaken once again.

In this case results in Teddie returning to the Midnight Channel, not before leaving a note to the Team notifying them. However, Nanako will be alive, albeit still in a coma. The 'neutral' ending ends with the time fast forward to the spring next year, where Ryotaro Dojima will takes the Protagonist to the station, lamenting that it was too bad Nanako isn't healthy enough yet to get out of the hospital to see him off.
