Profile

• Background Music: "Heaven"
• Available: November 6
• Deadline: November 20
• Victim: Nanako Dojima, Taro Namatame

Heaven is a unique dungeon, created by the suppressed emotions of two people instead of one. However, the prominent side of Heaven is the reality within the Midnight Channel created by Nanako Dojima. After the Protagonist' second threatening letter was found by Ryotaro Dojima, the Protagonist was detained in the Police Station for interrogation leaving Nanako Dojima alone in their house. Nanako was soon kidnapped by Taro Namatame, who had been working as a deliveryman at Inaba and threw her into the TV hidden at the back of his truck. However, as he was given chase, he also jumped in to the Midnight Channel, for he believed it was a 'sanctuary' that he's been using to 'save' people according to his beliefs all the time.

After being thrown into the Midnight Channel, Nanako's reality based on the many feelings she had kept well-hidden came into being in the form of Heaven, as well as the mental stress and trauma that Namatame had been suffering from. Inside the dungeon Nanako's inner thoughts of being lonely, but still fine because she still has her father and brother are exposed through her voice. Yet at the same time, Namatame's wishes of living a peaceful life with his late lover Mayuri and thinking of the Midnight Channel as a sanctuary to avoid harsh reality is also muttered several times within the dungeon.

Setting itself apart from other TV World dimensions, Heaven bears the distinction of being the only dungeon sporting bright colors and dream-like surroundings, as well as a melancholic vocal theme. The surroundings reflects the innocence within Nanako's heart, and perhaps Namatame's good intentions, albeit he was totally wrong. The name 'Heaven' symbolizes Nanako's belief that her late mother ascended to Heaven, as well as Namatame's personal delusions about the reality of the Midnight Channel - a safe place for those who appear on the Midnight Channel at midnight.

It should be noted that the Protagonist cannot advance any of the Investigation Team members' Social Links while Nanako is still detained in Heaven. Moreover, from this point onward, the Justice and Hierophant Social Links will no longer be available.

The story-wise boss of the dungeon is Kunino-sagiri, a manifestation of Namatame's messiah complex. He believes that he successfully saved all those people he threw in, who actually survived not because of him but the Protagonist's party's actions. But this only made him sure that the was the secret hero and savior of Inaba, and eventually broke his mind so that his Shadow could completely take over his body without materializing itself outside. Eventually it drew in the Shadows lurking inside Heaven, forming Kunino-sagiri.
