When I realize that post-DR1 Makoto probably wouldn't be able to straightforwardly answer the question "are you happy?" without lying
#ooc ramblings.#sb: makoto are you happy? like personally fulfilled and happy with who you are?#makoto: smiles. doesnt respond. changes the subject. or just outright says yeah (lie)#iiiii ammmmm soooooo EMOOOOOOOOOO#and he gets better at lying too which is the worst part. that's one of the changes that happens to him that breaks my heart most#bc he's specifically someone who's usually so open hearted.... but when it comes to his own pain he can be pretty closed off actually!#(and this is specifically after the mountain of trauma he experiences btw. the protagonistic urge to downplay his#damage in order to push forward more is part of Who He Is but its not like he's stuffing it all down. trauma exaggerates it HARD)#all bc he feels he needs to be as strong as he can be for the people around him....#and that just contributes to the image of him as this indomitable hopeman#another one of the good scenes in DR3: Makoto waits until he is alone to break down and sob over Kirigiri's death#god makoto and kirigiri's relationship gives me brainworms i LOVE how it develops in dr1 and i hate the reductionism that happens with it
