Witnesses hold secrets within their hearts. But through the power of the "Magatama" that you will obtain, you can "see" those secrets. These are known as Psyche-Locks. In order to resolve your case, you must break these Locks.

If you hit upon a topic a witness really doesn't want to discuss, one or more Psyche-Locks will appear. A lock symbol will appear on a topic that is under Psyche-Lock. Until you break these Locks, you won't be able to obtain any more information from this person.

Present the "Magatama" to the witness to start unlocking the Psyche-Locks. Evidence and profile data will be your weapons in this battle.
Present correct pieces of evidence and/or profiles to break the Locks. Break all the Locks and new information is yours.

・Caveat 1

Remember how many Locks appear -- they tell you how deeply buried this secret is.

・Caveat 2

Be careful when unlocking secrets. Mis-steps will work against you.

・Caveat 3

Know when to back off. If you don't have the necessary proof, you'll need the courage to stop.
