╭── ⋅ ⋅ ── ✩ ── ⋅ ⋅ ──╮

“Enemy advantage!” Fuuka, spoke through her headset. The five of you, all forced into a circle by a mob of shadows. Your eyes immediately meeting his. Akihiko’s stare burned into your skull, trying to find signs of any injuries, whilst the rest of your team decided what move to make next.

“Junpei! On your left!” The navigator alerted your fellow teammate. Noticing the intimidating shadow about to ambush your classmate Junpei, you instinctively rushed to his side, parrying the incoming attack. Feeling the extreme force of the shadow’s strength, your legs gave out and you fell the floor, followed by someone calling your name…

You suddenly came back to reality, noticing your three other teammates dealing with the ambush. Akihiko was checking your body for any injuries. “Are you okay? I told you to stop making reckless decisions during surprise attacks! If you had stopped for one second, we might have had time to strategize before they attacked us again!” He continued on ranting as your head was pounding, the impact of the bash having an effect on your conscious. His face grew serious when your eyes locked on his, the intensity of his gaze melting yours into submission “…and do not ever let me catch you doing something so risky again… you hear me? You cannot handle yourself in this kind of fight, especially if you have to go against shadows when we’re already in a bad position” he finished. After taking in his intense expression, his gaze softened, but it still felt like he was piercing right through you.

“But i had to, Junpei would’ve gotten seriously hurt!” Your words were quiet and weak, unable to match Akihiko’s intensity, but he was quick to brush them aside. “…it’s not your job to protect him. He can take care of himself.” You could see the irritation seeping into his voice, clearly getting worked up about your recklessness “…you cant be using those kind of excuses! This situation is far more precarious than usual, and you know it, don’t you?” You nodded weakly. The pain in your head was growing, and you were beginning to feel lightheaded. Akihiko sighed, “We won’t be able to finish the mission if you faint”, his hands rested gently on your shoulder, pulling you to your feet. You held onto his hand for support as you stood, his grip tight yet gentle at the same time. His fingers interlocking with yours gave a warmth that you craved to feel. He didn’t say anything else, just lead you to a spot where the team couldnt see either of you.

After finding a comfortable place, he pulled away, kneeling down to your level as you did the same. Looking him straight in the eye, you whispered “I’m sorry, Aki”. He stared back at you with a softer look in his eye, you knew what kind of effect that nickname had on him. He didn’t reply, instead, he just brushed your hair behind your ear softly. A gesture that made you melt internally. You looked down. His hand lingering on your cheek “…just stay safe” he whispered. His eyes searching yours intently. As his thumb caressed your cheek. You wanted nothing more but pull him closer. He was too tempting. You could feel your lips quivering as your mind flashed images of him kissing you. The sound of him growling your name in your neck, making it hard to breathe as you desperately tried to keep up a stoic front while also relishing his soft lips against yours. The sensation made your stomach twist and your heart beat faster, it was becoming difficult to control your emotions. The boxer was looking at you expectantly, waiting for some sort of response, but you couldnt give him one. Instead, you closed your eyes, leaned forward until your faces were close enough that your breath mingled between your lips.

Your lips met his. It was gentle, tender, sweet. Your arms wrapped around his neck as you pulled yourself as close as possible. He pulled you closer, deepening the kiss as the seconds passed. Suddenly, your lips parted, and Akihiko pulled away, his eyes being a mixture of shock and lust as he gazed upon your face. His cheeks turned red with embarrassment “Ah… I…. Sorry, I got carried away” he muttered. You shook your head and grabbed him tightly in your arms, your lips brushing against his earlobe as you whispered,

“Don’t apologize”

He smiled lightly, leaning into your embrace “If you insist”, he said. “But are we really gonna do this here…in Tartarus? I mean what if the team-“ You quickly silenced him with another kiss, pulling away only slightly “It’s no big deal”, you reassured him “Plus, i wanna be alone with you for awhile”. You pressed a chaste kiss to his cheek before leaving a trail of kisses down his neck. His arms gripping your waist loosely as you continued kissing him, your fingertips grazing his skin as your bodies melted together. The warmth in his touch made you sigh in pleasure. You both needed this moment. But you knew it would never last. The mission would end sooner or later and both of you would need to leave before the others caught you here. But for now, you were content with staying. His arms tightened around your waist, as he kissed you more passionately, more desperately. You could feel his heart beating wildly against your chest, it matched your own. The two of you were lost in each other completely, you weren't even sure how long the kiss lasted until you heard the others around the corner.

You slowly pulled away, letting out a disappointed moan as your mouth touched his ear lobe once more. He looked at you, his grey eyes filled with slight anger, knowing he couldn’t continue further with you there. “Come to my room tonight.” He whispered into your ear, savouring every ounce of affection you gave him. You felt your knees weaken, your heart racing uncontrollably. He smirked. He knew he was getting to you. As much as you hated to admit it. And you werent going to stop him anytime soon. He stood back up, offering you a hand. “Now let’s get back to the others…” The two of you made your way back, Akihiko holding onto your hand for a moment. Your eyes locking with his for a split second before returning to the group.

To be continued (Part 2)

[writers-reach]

If you do aged up chatacters (or in this case P4AU) is it alright to request some wedding hc's for Akihiko? For some context they were both in SEES or something like that (I haven't played the Arena games myself, so up to you).

Just wanna add, love the stuff you write so far! It's really good :3

persona 3: wedding headcanons (akihiko sanada)

notes: persona 3 spoilers, gn!reader (i tried my best but some of it might be leaning towards a more fem reader), post-p4au sees, fluff

he strikes me as the kinda guy to either overthink or underthink everything. no even amount of care put into the wedding.

like... he's either obsessing over the most useless of details or is just "yeah babe i'd be happy with whatever :) as long as you're there :)"

ofc regardless of what you two decide on doing, he's gonna pull his weight! he's no slacker.

definitely invites junpei, mitsuru, and ken as his groomsmates (mitsuru is his best woman, just b/c they spent so much time together. if it's in the timeline where shinji is alive, he'd take that place but point stands. senior squad fr)

speaking of, because of how important sees is to the two of you, all of them are groomsmates or men/maids of honour for the two of you, somewhat evenly split

koromaru and/or his puppies as the ring bearer i don't make the RULES!!!!!!!!

tries not to cry during his vows. didn't cry during the rehearsal. cries during the ceremony, fumbles over his words, tries to look manly but fails and embraces the tears.

during the kiss he'd definitely grasp your cheeks in the most tender kiss you've felt in your life. leans you back slightly and pulls away just enough to see your eyes brimming with happiness.

the ceremony is sweet and wonderful, but the reception is where your real aki shines

sheds the nervousness that comes with being the main event in front of dozens of people but still isn't a huge fan of parties

definitely loosens up once there's some alcohol involved but doesn't overindulge. he wants to remember this night :)

everyone in sees gets a turn at a speech, some doing them together!! (junpei and yukari put aside their slight differences and annoyances with one another to do a cute and funny speech). they all talk about how they knew you two were destined from the start, even if life was super rough.

even now, with akihiko as a boxer and shadow operative, he's still that same schoolboy who had trouble talking to his crush. it's adorable.

uhhhhhhh i've got a few loose joke headcanons too:

aigis catches the bouquet by doing a rocket-powered double jump. much to junpei's dismay (he wanted it :( )

mitsuru getting hammered at the reception

fuuka tries her best to hold it together at the ceremony but she's the first to start sobbing

yukari joking that akihiko FINALLY wears something normal (his suit) and not that ugly ass hoodie cape

a/n: sorry about the wait! hope you like it <3

[shinjisdone]

So I've recently have been obsessed with the idea of an Yandere Self-aware video game character and how they'd mess with the game

Its mmmmmmmmm super specific but I've been thinking about Makoto Yuki from Persona 3 a lot ;.;

Like- uughhh imagine you've been playing the original P3, P3FES AND P3P like the FREAK THAT U ARE and Makoto knows you!! He remembers you. And now you're back again with Reload.

Spoilers for P3 and Makoto's character and arc but will be mentioning when spoilers end:

Makoto to me is like ✨perfect✨ because a character who canonically would not care about dying and being hurt but caring for others

And then realizing he is in a video game which gives him a sense of doom???

At the very end of each game, he is going to die. But at the end it also means nothing when you press New Game again.

He goes through his year in Iwatadoi and actually starts living and caring for others and himself. More for others since he is ready to peacefully sacrifice himself.

And then, it happens all over again. The same places, the same people, the same shadows and events and deaths.

You are the one causing all of this and he doesn't know what to think of it. He never really cared until he did but now nothing seems real? Should he care then?

Even if all these repeating steps still feel real to him and fulfill him? When he feels you guiding him to make the right choices, when he hears you being so immersed into the game?

It all means nothing in the end. But you keep coming back, the real thing. You bring him such fullfillness and bonds and even though it will all be severed, it will happen again.

He oddly looks forward to it. To living and dying.

So he looks forward to you.

END OF SPOILERS BUT GAME MECHANICS WILL BE MENTIONED:

Imagine Makoto just over time beginning to mess with the game either in favor to you or to build an connection with you too:

Makoto already knows what will happen. Story cutscenes will be done with quickly in a way that you won't notice. For him, it's just seperating the time he could spend with you.

Special characters such as Igor, Elizabeth and Pharos could have an hunch that something is off. The remaining cast would react a but differently when Makoto acts out-of-character but are ultimately coded to not care.

If certain items or personas are wanted by you, Makoto will rig the game to have those drop more often for you.

He cannot say many lines since he is not supposed to speak a lot. But small lines, like during battle, change slowly and seem to be more directed at you. Such things as "What shall we do?" and "I'll end this quickly, don't worry."

"I'm strong enough to take on the Reaper if thats what you want."

The UI will seem like it's staring right at you.

When in battle and you need a certain crit or whatever, Makoto will go on all out in his turn - especially when he hears you praising him ("Yo, go, Makoto! That's my boy!") It makes him melt.

Fuuka would then say something akin like, "Wow, our leader is on fire!"

This is another point that differntiates the others from you in his eyes.

You give him a name. He doesn't even know if it his real one but he feels so much more accepted than being called "leader" by the others.

They cannot THINK of an name. But you can.

Makoto will smile much more even at the beginning of the game. Characters will point out how odd it is but he will make sure to hide it quickly.

It's mostly noticable during idle animations but once he notices that you might be staring, he'll hide as if he were shy.

The many lyrical songs will have different meanings and words sung. Slowly you will note that this isn't Lotus Juice singing anymore but a completely, different and artificial one somewhat hiding behind the lyrics and whispering sweet nothings to you.

You may hear completely new songs that are bursting with love and romance (Color Your Night comes to mind)

Dialouge options also change more on how he REALLY feels. Knowing the best answer at a test (he'll give you a hint), dislike for an activity (but he'll do it for you), his real thoughts towards characters or jealousy when romancing someone.

("Riding out until the day I meet you,)

(I look up to the sky, asking lotta "Why?")

("I watch out for all surprises, what it provides us, ...n҉o҉t҉h҉i҉n҉g҉ u҉n҉t҉i҉e҉s҉ u҉s҉.҉"҉)

("You know you leave me in a trance, ͕͗i͕͕͗͗t͕͗ ͕͗m͕͕͗͗e͕͕͗͗a͕͕͗͗n͕͕͗͗s͕͗ ͕͗e͕͕͗͗v͕͕͗͗e͕͕͗͗r͕͕͗͗y͕͕͗͗t͕͕͗͗h͕͕͗͗i͕͕͗͗n͕͕͗͗g͕͗ ͕͗t͕͕͗͗o͕͗ ͕͗m͕͕͗͗e͕͕͗͗.͕͗") ("Always watching over me s҉o҉m҉e҉h҉o҉w҉, you make me feel invincible...")

Since you are a sane person, you of course dislike Kenji.

So when you have to drag yourself to his social links, Makoto will actually skip them while you can still obtain all perks. It's like you see Kenji's face as he suddenly looks shocked before the entire event is skipped. Makoto waits at the entrance patiently for you. He doesn't want you to suffer :(

In such intinces of romance however, Makoto cannot hold himself back. He usually goes with whatever you choose since he wants to make you happy but he has to draw a line when romancing characters/maxing out social links.

A part of him understands they are all game characters...but the more frequent you choose to romance, no matter in which game, the more anxious he becomes.

When you always choose one person, he wonders if they are your favorite and not him. The same when you choose others in other playthroughs and don't get me started in the harem routes.

And they are all females as well. Do you like girls? Only girls? How about him, can he have a place in your heart?

MAKOTO doesn't like Yukari, Fuuka, Aigis, MItsuru, Yuko or Chihiro...HE likes YOU.

So all of this 'dating' feels like lying to him. To himself and his feelings and especially to you...at first he can tolerate it all if it means it makes you happy dating these people.

But you shouldn't be liking anyone else anyway.

So after a while, he has had enough. Dating is done impossible in all the games now through a kind of 'glitch' or all social links will be immediately reversed. The moment you get a chance at an romatinc dialogue option, Makoto will promptly choose the thing that will ruin your chances - by letting out his TRUE thoughts.

"I know you dont like me, Yukari, so stop pretending." "I hate the way you are so clingy, Chihiro." "A robot can't care for people. Only real people outside of games can."

He will be at his most noticable then and might not hide himself from you anymore. He just wants to be with you and give him the feeling of being alive again and again and again.

Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad Activity Report

Part 10

One more after this!

1/3 (Sun) - Reporter: Yukari Takeba

Uh, this is Takeba.

Junpei's first comment of the new year is a bit silly, but I'll just say one thing for now...I'm wearing them!

Even so, the city is in a cult color. I wonder what kind of monster Nyx is. No matter how strong the enemy is, we have to win. This was Takeba.

1/4 (Mon) - Reporter: Fuuka Yamagishi

Good evening, this is Yamagishi.

It seems like the influence of the cult is spreading at an alarming rate... Today, I was in the dorm and checking the news on TV and the internet, and I noticed that a number of related incidents had occurred.

It seems like we can't afford to waste a moment now...

1/5 (Tue) - Reporter: Akihiko Sanada

Cult activities have become quite intense. Actually, speaking of cults, I remember when I was still in elementary school, a dojo for a big new religion was set up. It quickly fell into disuse, but now that I think about it, I wonder if that was the influence of the shadows gathered in Kirijo's experiments? If we investigate, we might find something.

1/6 (Wed) - Reporter: Aigis

Today, I was watching TV and there was a documentary program that interviewed people in medical institutions. The main subject was a new doctor, and it was quite moving, but the patient was a Lost.

I don't know much about TV programs, but... just considering the time lapse that can be seen in the program, this program would not have worked if they had not continued to interview people for quite some time. If there were so many Apathy Syndrome patients before that that were chosen as subjects for interviews... perhaps the extent of the disease among the Lost we know does not fully grasp its true extent? I wonder how many patients there are now...

1/7 (Thu) - Reporter: Junpei Iori

Hey, Junpei here! The new semester finally starts tomorrow. I hope the school isn't taken over by the Forces of Evil... Hearing those guys' crazy words reminds me of Strega. I'm trying not to look at them as much as possible... Anyway, let's get pumped!

1/8 (Fri) - Reporter: Mitsuru Kirijo

It's Kirijo. The cult's influence on the school seems to be greater than expected. I was prepared for it to some extent, but to be honest, I'm at a loss as to what to do.

Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be anyone on the Student Council executive committee who is leaning towards cults, but we'll still be very careful.

1/12 (Tue) - Reporter: Fuuka Yamagishi

Good evening, this is Yamagishi.

Yesterday, Yukari-chan mentioned the media strategy, but we were preempted.

Apparently, Sanada-senpai and his friends found a magazine at a ramen shop in Iwatodai that had an interview with the leader of a cult, and that leader turned out to be Takaya of Strega, who had been missing. To put it simply, it was a praise of Nyx and a condemnation of those who rebel against Nyx...which is us. What's more, they even blamed us for the incident involving the Lost patient...which is a good move for an enemy like them. I'll try to think of something I can do to counter it.

1/13 (Wed) - Reporter: Ken Amada

The Strega interview article that Fuuka-san mentioned yesterday has somehow become strangely popular. It's been featured on the TV news. This isn't due to Nyx's influence, it's clearly the fault of the frivolous media, right? Why are adults so irresponsible? All our efforts are going to waste.

1/14 (Thu) - Reporter: Aigis

Where does the difference between those who get caught up in cults and those who don't come from? Will my heart be swept away by that cult?

I never knew staying strong in an uncertain world could be so scary. I need some guidance...

1/15(Fri) - Reporter: Mitsuru Kirijo

It's Kirijo.

Aigis, the answer is surprisingly simple. You are not made up of just yourself. Your existence includes your connections with others. If we said we didn't want you to join a cult, you wouldn't go now, right? That's it.

1/16 (Sat) - Reporter: Akihiko Sanada

Honestly, Mitsuru is brutally simple. And to ask for a life consultation the day before the national exam. Well, I'm also up late at night, even though it's the second day of the exam. Even though the final battle with Nyx is coming up, I don't feel like we're going to lose at all. Let's get the exam and the final battle over with as quickly as possible!

1/17 (Sun) - Reporter: Junpei Iori

Hey! It's Junpei!

Anyway, Sanada-san, Kirijo-senpai, good job on the national exam! I'm sure you got good marks...

I realized for the first time today that if I choose to continue my studies, it'll be me next year, right? Hmm, I've already prepared myself to take on Nyx, but I'm still not prepared to take on the national exam. Isn't that bad?

Um, if you have time, could you tell me the questions for the national exam next time? I'm sure cramming the night before is not going to be that scary.

1/18 (Mon) - Reporter: Fuuka Yamagishi

Good evening, this is Yamagishi.

Junpei-kun... Even for regular school exams, cramming the night before is no good because it doesn't give you the creeps. By the way, today I met a female reporter who has amazing insight. Amada-kun says that adults are unreliable, but I feel a little relieved to hear that people are watching.

1/19 (Tue) - Reporter: Yukari Takeba

Well, it's Takeba. I'm satisfied with using my cooking skills for the first time in a while today! Well, my opponent is Koro-chan, though. This is a menu to build up our strength before the final battle. Mitsuru-senpai praised me for it, but in fact, it's also a way for me to relieve stress... By the way, Sanada-senpai was looking at me with envy, so maybe he was hungry?

1/20 (Wed) - Reporter: Aigis

Today, Junpei-san was staring intently at the seat where Ryoji-san had previously sat. Was he hoping for a miracle that would bring him back? I would not have been able to understand such feelings before, but now I think I do. But I will not complain. I cannot stop yet, because I want to fulfill my promise to me.

1/21 (Thu) - Reporter: Junpei Iori

Hey, it's Junpei! Oh, Aigis saw me. Well, I guess... I was expecting Ryoji to come back. After all, he was a friend. I'm still thinking about getting him back together. I'm a bit timid too. I won't watch the seat again. Let's both do our best!

August 21, 2010 

Tatsumi Port Memorial Hospital 

“...Hey, guys.” 

Junpei sits down in the cold plastic chair beside the twins. Their heart monitors beep in unison like always. Their chests rise and fall in unison like always. There’s no response from either of them. Like always. 

“Uh... Just wanted to catch you two up. Akihiko and Shinjiro-senpai moved out of the dorms and got an apartment. After Ken finishes out elementary school, he and Koro-chan are gonna move in with ‘em.” 

He pauses. He doesn’t know why, it’s not like they’ll suddenly open their eyes and listen to him. He isn’t even sure if they can hear him now. 

“Yuka-tan is the head of the archery club now. She says it gets pretty stressful sometimes, but I think she enjoys it anyways. Y’know... It’s kinda funny. She told me she only joined so she could fight Shadows, but she’s stayin’ in the club anyways.” 

Another pause. Another moment of crippling realisation that they may never hear him again. Another deep breath. 

“Uh- I brought my grades up! Y’know, I think all that shit with the Fall kinda helped get my head outta my ass. I may not like studying or homework, but sometimes you gotta grit your teeth and do the crap you don’t wanna do. Like fight Shadows.” 

He laughs. It doesn’t sound right to his own ears. It grates at his throat. How dare he laugh, how dare he joke, when the two people he cared about most, who sacrificed themselves for him and the others, lay there hooked up to machines just to survive? 

How dare he be anything at all when there are others who have suffered more? 

...He recalls something Kotone told him once, while he was grieving Chidori so long ago. 

“You held her dear to you, and she traded her life for yours. That’s not something to be taken lightly, or joked about. You’re allowed to grieve, Junpei, and if you don’t give yourself the time to process and mourn, I’m gonna kick your ass.” 

He held the twins dear to him. Still does, really. They traded their lives for his, and the others’. It’s hard to make jokes about it, even after all these months. But he’s allowed to grieve- allowed to mourn their lives and the crushing fact that they had used themselves as a barrier between Nyx and the world. 

If he didn't take his time like this, someone from S.E.E.S would kick his sorry ass. Probably Shinjiro-senpai and all his terrifying, comforting glory. 

“What else... Oh, yeah! Fuuka has gotten way better at cooking. Honestly, it’s kinda a shame you guys can’t taste her cooking- Shinjiro-senpai might have some serious competition soon! Well- okay, maybe not, but I’m serious! She’s, like, taken over Shinjiro-senpai’s role since he left.” 

Junpei chuckles, remembering when she was first learning to cook. She had accidentally set the dorm kitchen on fire, and made it worse by throwing water on the grease. Now, she could easily whip up whatever someone was craving, and had made Shinjiro-senpai proud when she (successfully) improvised a recipe. 

“There... Isn’t really that much left to say. Aigis misses you two a lot, but since we’re all gonna be so busy, we won’t be able to visit for a while. So once we’re all settled, and we have some time, we’ll visit again. Okay? Take care, dudes. Love ya.” 

There’s still time left in visitation, he could stay and talk about him following his baseball dreams, or Mitsuru and Yukari finally getting their heads out of their asses and getting together, or Ken asking him if he knows any other words for ‘Dad’ for “no reason in particular”. 

But he leaves it all unsaid. He’ll tell them next time he sees them. He promised, after all. 

THE PREVIOUS KOTONE AND JUNPEI INTERACTION FIC IS RELATED TO THIS ONE HOLY SHIT!!!!!! KOTONE TELLING JUNPEI ITS OK TO GRIEVE IS REAL!!!! AGHHGHGHHHHAHAHHHH..... AND AKISHINJI MOVING IN WITH KEN AND KOROMARU!!! THE FAMILY!!!!!! aghhh but also junpei being scared of losing the twins. he'd probably be scared considering everything that's happened. so many people died and junpei is probably most scared since he lost chidori.... aaaghhh............

honestly he is probably one of the few muses i can't put a name just some ideas of who can be compatible with him.

intelligent

decisive

strong willed

willing to accept that he is not a romantic person and will see his job as important as you? and maybe more because he is pragmatic person

can compromise to some extent, but never that be conflicting with the person or their interest

Can't think of someone compatible with his in the TYPE0 world, but Emina can and might ruffle his feathers a little bit. idk.

ngl Aki Minahara could have a chance if she is a little bit older dlfkjsdkfs

anyway he looks for someone serious about the relationship.

he wants a family not just one night stand but he is afraid of making said family because of the crystal and dying and getting people's memories wiped clean.

basically, he does not want to be forgotten ...

uuh he can cook so he is not expecting the whole 'gender role thing'. as long as you are good in the things you like to do, then sure fine. tbh he prefers to cook. he is not big on eating other people's food. though he wont stop you from cooking. surprise him.

cats. tbh it is not something he can give up on for a partner???? because for him feeding and looking after the stray cats is an important part of his life. silly as it sounds but he takes it seriously.

he can compromise a little bit with the cat thing but don't expect him to stop going out to feed them.

How do the Persona react to the ‘Pretty Bird’?

How often does Ryoji set his courting goals onto Orpheus when Mint isn’t responding?

So, now seems like a p good time to remind yall that I have not touched the persona 3 game. I know my knowledge from google, my honeybee, and the movies alone. So, if these personas have personalities, don't come for me, I deadass only knew three of them by name without google lololol

Hermes

Hermes is a pretty laid back persona, much like his creator, but he's also pretty efficient with his work. So, having a shadow just...vibing around would be annoying at first, but he'd get used to it. So long as he's not a threat, Hermes is fine.

Io

Io is much like Yukari. She has some raging trust issues, and is a little hot tempered. So, having Ryoji around makes her uncomfortable, but she's pretty quick to adjust. It's the shit like him running around, screaming for attention or food, or being creepy that would eat at her whenever they meet.

Penthesilea

As a persona meant more for recon than fighting, Penthesilea fucking HATES Ryoji with a passion. Mitsuru doesn't mind him, feeling he's more like a cat or a puppy. Cute, but slightly annoying. Her persona though, is not a fan. She's aware of how much of a threat Ryoji is, after all, so they don't get along.

Juno

Juno is like Penthesilea, she doesn't like Ryoji. She's a very aware persona, so his threat level makes her hostile. Which is, yet again, a difference from Fuuka's personal opinions. where Fuuka rather likes Ryoji because he's cute and harmless, and will eat her cooking, but her persona is guarded and distrustful of him.

Nemesis

So long as Ken likes Ryoji and is unharmed, Nemesis doesn't mind the little shadow. She keeps an eye the little creature, but otherwise is unphased by him being around. Ken likes him pretty well and maybe even wants his own pet shadow.

Castor

Castor met Ryoji exactly once and proceeded to try and stomp him into a bloody puddle. For the sake of Shinji and Minato not getting into fisticuffs, and Castor not nearly getting bitten in half a second time. They are never put together again, and when Castor does make the odd appearance on emergency missions, Ryoji is kept firmly under Minato's arm in his 'snow suit'.

Ceasar

Admittedly, Ceasar couldn't care less about Ryoji being around. So long as the shadow isn't being hostile and doesn't give him a reason, he won't go looking for a fight. While Akihiko might be a tad lacking in strategy, Ceasar does try to think ahead. And mauling a shadow he has seen take on Castor without breaking a sweat is just, not a good use of his energy.

Orpheus

Orpheus is...conflicted about the little shadow, much like his wielder. On one hand, the little bird creature is darkly cute, so he's very fond of him. But, he's also shown a human level of comprehension and an aggressive desire to have his user as a 'mate'. So, while he does care for the creature, he's also weirdly flattered at his affections and is admittedly more attached than he normally is. Yet, those opinions do waver a bit whenever Ryoji goes out on a mission with the group and starts puffing up or bringing him food to try and court the persona. Orpheus doesn't know what to do about that, and isn't sure what that means, if anything.

PERSONA 3 RELOAD TRAILER SPOILERS AHEAD

as promised, i am typing up my thoughts about reload with in depth discussion on the 2 most recent trailers. i'll put that in a read more - but before that, a disclaimer: first of all, these are my own thoughts and opinions and i will not be debating anyone about anything subjective i say. second of all, i'm only discussing the most recent 2 trailers because the other ones make me unreasonably angry so i might be missing stuff. anyways.

as a persona 3 fan, i havent necessarily been excited about reload for so many reasons i wont really be going into, but these new trailers have given me some amount of hope, and i will just be mostly ignoring the glaring issues.

some things almost definitely confirmed by the two most recent trailers as well as the demo they had at the sega event the other day:

3 physical attack types confirmed to still be in the game. this is a good thing

kouha and eiha have been added to the light and dark skill set, but no evidence of nuke or psy. this is an okay thing (im glad no nuke or psy - they have no real place in the game. but i dont necessarily think that ken and koro needed to deal damage because theyre both op as shit anyways if you build them right) (this might need fact checking, but i saw several people saying it, so)

despite prior claims, there is in fact fes content in reload. "the answer" may not be in it, but there IS fes content. so it's less original persona 3 as claimed and more the journey without the answer, fes edition. we know this for certain because a fes/portable exclusive scene is shown in the character trailer (mitsuru calling the cops because she thinks junpei's room has been burgled, as seen in the hidden cameras, an fes/portable exclusive feature)

new outfits that have been affectionately dubbed "tacticool" by my brother, and i will be using that phrasing to refer to it from now on. tacticool outfits are not an immediate addition - the old armbands do exist in the game for some amount of time. from trailer analysis, i've concluded that SEES switches to the tacticool outfits after fuuka joins but before aigis does, presumably at the same meeting where fuuka is asked to join. tacticool outfits standardly include the new armband, which is uniquely numbered to each character - minato is 3, and i've been able to catch junpei's number as 5. if anyone can figure out the other numbers, let me know i'm so curious. they also include a new coat and 3 magazine clips, which (speculatively) probably mean an evoker upgrade at the same time, possibly to be able to shoot shadows - though i'm not sure how well this would work as bullets would be pierce damage and almost entirely defeat the point of ever using aigis

we got clips of the additional male teammate "scenes", which i'm very excited about. it's confirmed they wont be social links, but they will have moments with minato, which is all i've ever wanted.

the demo apparently includes a version of baton pass, which is. fine. sure. i can deal with that

new ost/battle music which i am withholding judgment on until i can hear the full thing

dlc outfits - p4 uniform, p5 uniform, and phantom thieves outfits which look ugly as hell on the persona 3 characters and do not match the vibes at all thanks atlus. why does junpei still wear his hat

when a battle ends with an all out attack, the initiating character gets an end screen like in persona 5. we've only seen minato's thus far, though

TACTICOOL OUTFITS - IN DEPTH

now imagine if you will that i spent like an hour watching a two minute trailer because i care about these outfits so hard so i am going to describe my thoughts about them in so much detail

as i said earlier i think these come hand in hand with some sort of evoker mechanic upgrade/change, and theyre only introduced after fuuka

if i had to guess, the armbands are numbered with mitsuru as 1, akihiko 2, minato 3, yukari 4, junpei 5, and so on

they all have SHEATHES for their weapons which is sick as hell as well as everyone wearing some form of glove which is also sick as hell!!!

mitsuru has a cape. this is the most amazing thing that could have ever happened ever, and i support her in her cape endeavors

fuuka has a tactical poncho and headset (probably to make it more clear how she's speaking to everyone), but no clear evidence of having an armband. if she did have one, i'm pretty sure it'd be covered up by her poncho, so ??? but it's it's possible that only the fighting members of SEES get the new armband

ken with the oversized coat is so sick. i cannot even begin to stress how cool i think this 10 year old is. atlus was like would you like the world's sickest 10 year old with a sick ass coat and im EATING IT UP

if i think of more things i will reblog this post or make a new post idk i just needed to get the Melting Brain out. i hope everyone enjoys these ramblings and gains something out of it

RF5 girls with a S/O who has anxiety

Hi there! I am back with another RF5 post, this time with the bachelorettes! I hope you like it!

~~~

Priscilla

- Oh, she knows the feeling all too well...so she would try to help her partner with the things she usually does: breathing exercises and calming herbal tea

- She would give them a blanket, but only cuddle with them if requested

- All in all, she'd really pamper them and answer any request they might have

Lucy

- Lucy believes more in prevention measures, so it doesn't even come to an anxiety attack

- This means she'd encourage her partner to regularly exercise, eat well and try to shift their mindset to a more positive one; if they take medication, she will make sure they take them, even if it means getting up at 2am and bothering her partner until they get up and take it

- Still, these prevention measures don't always work because anxiety is just like that, so if it comes down to her s/o getting anxious at some point, she would instruct them on breathing exercises she picked up from Priscilla or try to distract them somehow; whether that means sitting at a pond and fishing or going for a walk/run

Beatrice

- She probably has experience with anxiety, being a princess on a secret mission and all, so she would try to calm her s/o with very gentle measures

- First of all, she'd tell them comforting things, rub their back, make sure they're alright and get them into a comfortable position

- Then she would light scented candles (or if the flame makes her partner anxious, just give an unlighted one to smell), if this isn't the first time, she probably stocked up on candles in her partner's favorite scent: lavender, vanilla, a mix of different citrus fruits, you name it; she'll get whatever scent they prefer, no matter how obscure it is (if they have no idea what they would like, she does a smell test with them to find out which ones they'd prefer), if it's a really specific thing they like, she might try to make it herself

- Then she would put on some relaxing music, probably classical, and either start to dance and offer her partner to join, or sit down with them and press some flowers/fill a scrapbook together; she has lots of different scrapbook materials from her travels with Reinhard, so she wants to put them to good use - making her partner happy

Scarlett

- When it comes to her partner, Scarlett can be very gentle and caring - even if she might not know how to show it

- So when she notices her partner's anxiety, she would not take control of the situation; she'd offer things to do about it and give them a choice (so *they* have the control), but she wouldn't force them to do anything in fear of doing something that might worsen it - something that has happened to her before while she was dealing with her own anxiety (she probably takes medication for it now)

- Things she would offer would be: braiding or playing with her hair (she has a secret box of hair accessories), her s/o writing down their thoughts in a calming journaling session (maybe while they sit on her lap and she plays with their hair) or going cloudwatching/stargazing

Fuuka

- Fuuka can sense incoming anxiety pretty early, so she would try to cuddle with her partner before it can get any worse

- She's very physical about it and would try to crawl on their lap to give them some weight on their body to ground with; she'd let them touch her behind her ears and play with her hair and tail

- If it does get worse however and the anxiety fully sets in, she would caress their cheeks, give them forehead and cheek kisses, hold their hands and so on; Fuuka is very forward with these things, but she would get her partner to a safe and more quiet space first if they need it - PDA might not be the best in that kind of situation after all

Ludmila

- She knows all about it - breathing exercises, physical sensations, distractions - so she would do whatever they need to calm down; if she learns about the anxiety beforehand, she will ask about every little thing she can and can't do if the situation arises; she wants to make sure they know she's a safe person and can help them deal with it

- If her partner is up for it, she would take them to a flower field and relax there; touching all the flowers and their leaves, feeling the wind run through their fingers, embrace Ludmila in the middle of this natural beauty while she says comforting things...it would truly feel like paradise to them

- Ludmila doesn't mind how much time they spend there; as long as her s/o can relax and breathe freely again, that's all that matters to her

~~~

I love writing comfort stuff like this. It's so nice to think about and imagine! Lmk if you would like more headcanons with this prompt or more RF5 headcanons! The request box is still open!

Thank you for reading and have a good day/night!

Yesterday on P3R, we learn some new things, shake our heads at Kenji, and explore a new area of Tartarus!

Chidori is still being held in the hospital, mostly refusing to talk. She will talk to Junpei, but not about anything to do with Strega.

Today, though, she has an… adverse reaction.

Akihiko, its either a shadow or a persona. Come on, man. Being able to see it outside the Dark Hour is interesting, though.

Shinji, fortunately, tells them to get the hell out of the way so he can give her medicine, which calms down her persona and probably saves her life.

I’m with Mitsuru. That’s really not something to be so chill about.

That means their awakenings were definitely wrong, which we sort of already knew based on the whole human experimentation thing. I’m not entirely sure how to interpret this in terms of wider lore. Your shadow will definitely try to kill you if you reject it, but that’s not what’s happening here. This might say more about Chidori’s overall mindset than anything. Especially since she really just doesn’t care whether she lives or dies.

Junpei tells her that he didn’t want her to die. That he was panicking when Medea tried to kill her.

“Dying just means you don’t wake up tomorrow.”

Junpei doesn’t want to hear that in the slightest.

He’s in love with this girl. He hasn’t said it out loud yet, but I think saying that is close enough. XD

Shinji left the hospital, and Akihiko chased after him to ask why he had persona suppressants. Which… Shinji refused to answer, which is an answer in and of itself. The reason Akihiko is so worried, though, is because of the side-effects. Which are not specifically named, but implied to be very bad. Shinji tells him not to worry though, because he’s not taking them anymore now that he’s fighting again.

Akihiko punches him for that.

Oh, that’s what happened. :/ Fucking hell, Aki.

Can all my senpais pls get it together and communicate with each other?

Well, while everyone else is experiencing emotional honesty and getting punched, I guess I’ll go hang out with Kenji. Most just because I have to know where this link is going.

Man, if I wasn’t trying to get the correct answers, Minato’s doofus answers would be all the ones I’d use for this guy.

Kenji isn’t sure how many more times we’re going to be able to go out like this. He’s going to be going to cram school, after all, and working really hard to get into a good college. Since he went in Ms. Kanou’s room (?????) and saw that she had a wedding magazine on her side table. So he’s got to be seriously thinking about his future, because his plans are set!

I want to say “sure whatever” so badly.

But like, go for it, Kenji. I, uh, believe in you? Or something?

Going out for ramen with Shinji was nicer, I think. We’re just chilling.

My elders can be remarkably unhelpful sometimes. Especially all of my teachers. Including Ikutsuki.

I need to find some time this week to go to Tartarus, since the new area is open. I think it’s gonna be a new block, so I can’t wait to see what things look like next. Industrial is fun and all, but the stairs are a little annoying. So--

...that can happen??? The game is warning me there might be irreversible consequences if I don’t save them?

I’m guessing this is one of my social links, so if they get munched, I can’t finish their link. I guess we’re going to Tartarus, later.

After school, Junpei learns that Chidori can transfer her energy to heal, when she revives her wilted sunflowers.

Holy shit, girl. You’re a really powerful navi.

Also after school, Fuuka’s food is so bad that Minato gets physically sick.

She put way too many strong flavors together. T_T

Okay, look, I need to go to Tartarus. I know. HOWEVER, if I finish Tanaka’s link, I never have to talk to him again. So we’re gonna do it.

...oh. Well. Look who talked himself into some character development just by venting at me for months. Good for you! Can I have my 40k yen back, too?

No?

All right.

He leaves us with the parting words of “Stop talking to shady men at night,” and “Goodbye forever.”

Freedom! Now I can just hang out with my teammates at night, until I find my Tower link.

Pharos is back to talk about stuff, and is being… sweet.

We will. We’re soulmates, you and I.

Okay fine I’m off to Tartarus.

It’s like some kind of opulent castle ruin. I love this.

Apparently it’s the bookstore guy, Bunkichi, who is lost in Tartarus, which on the one hand, is understandable. (Just not the part where he’s on the HUNDRED AND TWENTIETH FLOOR.) On the other hand, no consequences for me even if I left him here because that link is done. XDDD

Anyway, with him escorted out, we can keep goi--

Oh I don’t like that. Fuck.

We’ll do some more of that next time. I will leave y’all with the silly observation that Loki, Trickster God and highest-level persona of the Fool Arcana, starts at level 69.

Nice.

Persona 3 FES all dorm NPC dialogue not in https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/932312-shin-megami-tensei-persona-3/faqs/50852 ripped from the US version of FES with Persona Editor. There's a lot of FES exclusive lines here.

These have dates attached! I'm not going through to see if the dates are different to the script. A lot of lines are in f007 in F007_016/F007_017/F007_018 that I haven't ripped, such as what you hear under the door and on the TV.

For some reason, all the ns files have '{"Yes."}

{"No."}

{Check everyone's status}

{Go to Tartarus tonight}

{Talk}

{Done}

{"Please tell me."}

{"I don't need to know."}

Mitsuru: …Hm? Oh my, you don't look well. Are you tired? You should return to your room and rest for the remainder of the day. Don't push yourself too hard if you're not feeling well.

You will recover within a few days if you rest and do not go to Tartarus. Be aware of your condition; if you are sick or tired, you will not fight at full strength during battle.

(All these lines are duplicated)

Mitsuru: …Yes? How can I help you?

Mitsuru: You don't look well. Are you feeling alright?

Mitsuru: …I see. Is there anything else?

Mitsuru: Very well. We'll meet at Tartarus around midnight. Don't be late. I'll let the others know.

Mitsuru: The number of members who aren't feeling well is {F2 03 01 01}.

Mitsuru: Everyone seems to be healthy…

Mitsuru: Do you want to know the status of each member?

Fuuka: How can I help you?

Fuuka: You look sick. Are you okay?

Fuuka: …Is there anything else I can help you with?

Fuuka: Okay. I'll tell the others. We'll be waiting at Tartarus around midnight. See you there.

Fuuka: {F2 03 01 01} is the number of members who don't feel good…

Fuuka: Everyone's okay today!

Fuuka: Would you like to know how the others are doing?' in them. (Well, not the ones with 汚甥凹飲衣に央奥しますか? or specified)

[nm007_001]

汚甥凹飲衣に央奥しますか?

[nm007_002]

Koromaru(KORO): Arf!

Yukari Takeba(yukari): テストです。

アイギス(aegis): テストです。

芥蟹 喝恰(mitsuru): テストです。

括活 渇滑(junpei): テストです。

襖鴬 瑛鴎(fuuka): テストです。

葛褐 轄且(sanada): テストです。

鰹褐 叶(amada): テストです。

椛樺 葛翁鞄(aragaki): テストです。

芥蟹株のメイド(meido): テストです。

芥蟹株のメイド(meido): テストです。

Yukari(4/8): Ikutsuki-san's a really nice guy. He makes a lot of lame jokes, but you'll get used to it.

Mitsuru(4/9): This computer is from the dorm. Everyone used it for email, school work, blogging…

Shuji Ikutsuki(4/18): How Shadows came into this world is still a mystery. I used to be a researcher for Kirijo Electronics… That is the primary reason why I am the chairman of the board. And that is also what makes this dormitory such a convenient location to conduct SEES activities. Oh, you should also be aware that I am unable to summon Personas. However, in order to perform my research, I was taught how to enter the Dark Hour. So if you need any help, please do not hesitate to ask. Of course, I cannot be of any help. Ahahaha…

Mitsuru(4/18): Those who are unable to experience the Dark Hour are Transmogrified during that time… They appear as coffins. Shadows are quite enigmatic… They only attack those who have not been Transmogrified. Shadows feed on the minds of their victims, leaving them unable to speak. We call this Apathy Syndrome. And those who suffer from this incapacitating affliction are known as… …The Lost.

Akihiko(4/18): Ikutsuki-san invented the Evoker to make it easier for us to summon our Personas. But, I've heard that there used to be people who could summon their Personas without it. By the way, be careful with that thing… The Evoker looks exactly like a gun, even though it's not. So don't go flashing it around town, or you might get arrested.

Yukari(4/18) I'm not sure how well Mitsuru-senpai and Akihiko-senpai get along. Akihiko-senpai kinda gets on her nerves.

Mitsuru(4/19): Taking a break is an excellent way to recuperate. And remember, even though you're a Persona-user, you're still a student. Make sure you're keeping up with your homework assignments. Oh, and show respect to your teachers.

Akihiko(4/19): With all the new members, things should start getting interesting…

Yukari(4/19): Hm? Isn't Mitsuru-senpai upstairs?

Akihiko(5/4): Huh? Oh, Mitsuru should be in the meeting room. She was training today, so I wouldn't bother her if I were you.

Yukari(5/4): I doesn't look like Mitsuru-senpai is going to Tartarus today. sigh That means we can't go, either…

Akihiko(5/5): Huh? Why am I sleeping on the sofa? Oh, I want to heal as fast as possible, so I'm trying to get a lot of sleep.

Yukari(5/9): Mitusuru-senpai's not here either…? sigh She's so… ugh…

Akihiko(5/9): I think the doctor's just being cautious… I don't have any pain, and I can do some light exercises… But I can't fight until he clears me.

Yukari(5/11): Mitsuru-senpai said the equipment in the command room isn't working. She wanted one of us to check on it. Huh? Me? No way! I don't know anything about{0A}that stuff. I'll leave that stuff to the tech-heads. Why don't you do it?

Junpei(5/11): Why would you think I could fix the command room? Computers ain't my field, dude. All I know how to fix is a TV. You just smack the top and voila!

(5/15)I just can't seem to study in my room… I always end up reading manga.

Yukari(5/15): This exam's probably gonna be easier than I thought. I think I'm going to do pretty good on it.

(5/17)Don't forget to study…

(5/17)SHIT! I haven't studied at all… I'm gonna have to pull an all-nighter… ARGH!

Junpei(5/24): You can't go forward if you're always looking to the past… I'm going to enjoy myself until this world ends, man!

Akihiko(5/27): Other than electricity skills, it seems like my Persona can only learn status lowering skills… Status lowering skills are very useful. Power isn't the only thing that wins battles… Heh… I can't believe my Persona is actually teaching me something.

(5/30)兜羽に果々遺かれたっていっても、嘉に井かを運てるわけでもないしね。竃嚇に蒲架で員してたってだけだしさ。

Fuuka(6/11): I never thought that anyone would ever need my help. I'm still new to this, so please be patient with me.

Junpei(6/14): Damn, I was nearly in some trouble with the police… But it turned out to be a false alarm.

Junpei(6/17): I've been so hungry lately. Do you think it's because of all the time I've been spending in the Dark Hour?

Yukari(6/21): What was his name? Koromaru? I think dogs are much more loyal than humans…

Mitsuru(6/21): … The weather is perfect outside. Why don't you go out?

Junpei(6/27): Dude, what's up with that revenge request site? That's not cool, man! You're not supposed to ask someone else! You're supposed to do it yourself! You find that person and say, "Hello. My name is Junpei Iori. You killed my father. Prepare to DIE!"

Yukari: sigh You're such an idiot…

Junpei(6/28): Akihiko-san went running. He said he's gonna run and run and run until he gets rid of all his stress.

Yukari(6/30): Hmm… Maybe I shouldn't have asked her that… Well, I guess it's no different than when Mitsuru-senpai sticks her nose in my business.

Mitsuru(7/8): This enemy really took a lot out of us. You must still be tired. The others don't look like they're ready for Tartarus either, so… If you'd like, you can take this time to rest.

Yukari(7/9): Is Junpei still mad about what happened the other day? sigh He's so immature…

Yukari(7/11): I'm not stupid, I know what I have to do… I know that I can't run from fighting Shadows… But, I can't help the way I feel. I was tricked… The Kirijo Group used me… I just can't get over that. So… that's what I think… Sorry…

Akihiko(7/12): If we don't destroy Shadows, they'll eat us. That's all there is to it. I always thought I didn't need a reason to fight them… But, I now I understand… If you don't have a reason to win, then you can't be victorious.

Mitsuru(7/19): We'll be going to Yakushima tomorrow. Make sure you prepare everything you need tonight.

Mitsuru(7/24): Even though I was a little shaken up before the exam, I was still able to perform satisfactorily… Whether it's a battle or an exam, it's important to always do your best.

Junpei(8/5): Damn, dude, there are so many Shadow victims. So, who you gonna call? …Shadow busters!

Mitsuru(8/6): Tomorrow night during the Dark Hour we will battle a new Shadow. You won't be able to go to Tartarus before then, but you should still prepare your items and equipment.

Mitsuru(8/9): If you're looking to perform a concentrated attack on an enemy, use Same Target. We will then focus our attacks on the enemy you hit. However, if you perform an area attack, we won't be able to discern which enemy we should attack. So, remember, if you want to use Same Target, be sure to attack a single enemy.

Aigis(8/20): Koromaru-san's Persona is strong against fire and darkness. However, it is weak against light. So, please be careful of Hama skills.

Junpei(9/6): Yo, I need to take some time off… I don't know how long it will take, but I need to figure out some stuff… I'm so confused… What am I supposed to do…?

Yukari(9/10): Junpei's acting so weird again. Before he was out of control, now he's in his own world… I guess we're out of the loop now.

Yukari(9/12): Whenever I'm around Junpei… I sense a feeling of… happiness. I wonder what happened to him…

Ken(9/21): Are you feeling okay, Senpai? You should take today to rest.

Shuji Ikutsuki(10/7): I believe Mitsuru told you all about the tragedy that befell Ken's family… It happened after defeating the irregular Shadow, after the dawn of the Dark Hour. Ken probably didn't have any idea what was happening at the time. Ken and Shinjiro… I knew what was going on between them… But I never expected it to turn into such a horrible tragedy… We shall pray for Shinjiro's happiness in the next world.

Ken(10/11): To be honest, I was planning to go there today… …but then I decided not to. If I keep living in the past, I'll never be able to move forward…

Akihiko(10/18): Is the command room mechanism still busted?

Mitsuru: Yes. It hasn't been repaired yet.

Akihiko: Well, we can't fix it if we don't know how it's malfunctioning.

Fuuka: I'll check it out later. If you have time, can you check it too, Main-kun?

Mitsuru(10/21): The next full moon is soon approaching. Let's be prepared. I want to be able to make a successful report to Shinjiro.

Mitsuru(11/13): The Student Council will probably be busy organizing the school trip. Right… the school trip…

Akihiko(11/13): She finally left her room… Do you think she's okay now? As you know, she's not very good at hiding her feelings.

Ken(11/13): Unfortunately, I can't go with you guys on the school trip… …so please bring me back a souvenir. Oh, and I'd prefer something other than a t-shirt or a key chain. I hear they have really good nama-yatsuhashi there…

Yukari(11/14): I used to live in Kyoto, you know. It's funny how everyone has these stereotypes of that place…

Junpei(12/20): This town is totally in the Christmas spirit. I'd be all happy too if-- Sorry… This is so not like me, man! I'm totally stressed out!

Mitsuru(12/25): There's only one week left… This will be both the longest and shortest week of our lives.

Yukari(12/31): We can't let the Fall happen.

Mitsuru(12/31): You could have killed him if you wanted to. But, you chose not to. Thank you for making that decision.

Junpei(12/31): I knew it, man. I knew that's what you would do.

Akihiko(12/31): Good, now we can fight Nyx face to face. I'm going to go plan my training schedule.

Fuuka(12/31): I'm scared of the Fall, but I'll do my best to stop it.

Aigis(12/31): Let's face this together, Main-san.

Ken(12/31): I'm glad. I didn't want the world to end like that.

Aigis(1/7): The machine that malfunctioned in the command room… The problem was the camera. It's not that important. I only wanted to tell you that I had identified the problem.

Akihiko(1/21): Now Junpei has another reason not to lose the last battle.

Yukari(1/21): Even I was sad to see Junpei depressed back then… I'm so glad for him…

Mitsuru(1/21): The Kirijo Group will protect her with all the resources at its command. That's a promise.

Junpei(1/21): sob sob Today is the best day of my entire life so far… sob sob

Aigis(1/21): It's a wonderful thing that people care about one another.

Ken(1/21): Junpei-san…

Yukari(3/1): Hey, you know that girl we saw at the school gate this morning? I've been thinking about it… And I'm pretty sure she was after you, not Junpei. If you see her again, you should talk to her.

Fuuka(3/1): We'll be seniors soon, with entrance exams to focus on. Let's not get lazy just because it's spring.

Akihiko(3/2): These are my boxing gloves. I've had them most of my life… They're pretty worn out, though. I mean, I've trained pretty hard with them, but I didn't think they'd get this scuffed up…

Ken(3/2): It's so weird… I feel like we've been talking here for a long time… We never hung out in the lobby together, but it feels like we did…

Junpei(3/2): Remember that blond chick? Her name's Aigis. Huh? How do I know her name, you ask? Heh, never underestimate the great detective Junpei's methods. Especially when it comes to a cute girl's name… I'm the first to know!

Yukari(3/3): I still can't remember anything about that girl. Junpei says her name is Aigis, but… I'm pretty sure we've met somewhere before. I just don't remember where.

Junpei(3/3): You think I've known about Aigis for a while? Nah, it can't be… That's for sure. It can only be… love!

Fuuka(3/3): I passed by the blond girl in the hallway. She looked very serious… I wonder if she's sick…

Yukari(3/4): Graduation is tomorrow. Not that I know anyone in the senior class… But it feels empty, somehow. Didn't I make some important promise related to graduation…?

Junpei(3/4): I was cleaning my stuff and found a sketchbook--and I don't even draw! I flipped through it, and it's full of these bizarre drawings. The last page had a handsome portrait of… guess who? Me! Good ol' Junpei Iori! But my eyes started to water up when I looked at it… I wonder why.

Fuuka(3/4): The seniors are leaving the dorms… But the only ones here are Mitsuru-senpai and Akihiko-senpai. I never spent much time with them, but I'm sad to see them go…

Ken(3/4): I keep thinking about Shinjiro-san's loss… He was supposed to graduate today. He was so kind, and he always took really good care of me…

Koromaru: ……

You spot something under Koromaru's paw… Would you like to pick it up? {Yes} Koromaru: Arf! Arf! …It's a Red Fountain Pen. Obtained {F2 1D A5 14}. {No} Koromaru: Arf!

Yukari(4/9): ここって、椅は噛鴨さんが栢たんだけど、意は噛羽だけなんだって。In this dorm, there was a matron before but now, there are only dormitory residents. でもこれだけ恢茅でしょ? 謁わないのってもったいないよね? Look how fabulous this place is. Don't you think we are wasting this valuable place?

{鉛かに}

{That's true.}

Yukari: 萱は粥蓋とか花峨くないし、芥蟹兜刈もそういう化はしないし⋯ I'm not good at cooking and Kirijo-senpai doesn't cook either… 苅の越ち瓦れって家じかも。We are not utilizing this place well enough.

{嘉に}

{Not really.}

Yukari: ふ‒ん、そういうの茨にしないんだね。I see. I guess you don't care about those things.

Akihiko(4/19): You seem to have a lot of homework. Do you need any help?

{"Yeah, thanks."}

Akihiko: Ha, just kidding. Mitsuru told me I shouldn't help people with their homework because they'll never learn that way. So, all I can do is wish you good luck.

{"No, that's alright."}

Akihiko: That's the spirit. Well, good luck.

Junpei(4/19): You don't gotta worry when I'm around, man. Just leave everything to me and my sword skills.

{"Okay, I'll do that."}

Junpei: That's right! Just sit back and enjoy the show, dude! I won't disappoint!

{"You don't have any skills."}

Junpei: You're right… Maybe I'm not that good.

Mitsuru(4/24): Nothing is worse than being sick. You'll feel dizzy, and your sight will be blurry. You won't be able to hit the enemy in battle, and it will be difficult for you to dodge their attacks. The chances of receiving a status ailment will also increase. With so many disadvantages, it is best that you don't explore Tartarus when you're sick.

Mitsuru(4/25): The ability to search for enemies is an important skill to have when we explore Tartarus. However, I am not satisfied with my current aptitude. }I must continue to train to reach an acceptable level of competence.

Mitsuru(5/11): It seems the equipment in the command room is malfunctioning. Could you go and check on it? It shouldn't take long. I asked Akihiko and Iori, but they didn't sound very enthusiastic. I won't force you. But if you have no other plans, I need it done. Thanks.

Junpei(5/16): Dude, I can't stop reading manga. I get like this right before an exam. What about you?

{"Yeah, so do I."}

Junpei: Awesome! We should totally get together and read some manga! Just kidding, dude. …Don't look at me like that.

{"No, not at all."}

Junpei: I see. I guess it's just a matter of concentration…

Mitsuru(5/17): Our mission is very important, but we can't sacrifice everything for it. Going to Tartarus is necessary, but so is studying for our exams.

Yukari(5/17): How's your studying goin'?

{"Good."}

Yukari: Wow, you seem really confident.

{"Not so great."}

Yukari: Then, maybe you should be studying instead of wandering around. Well? What're you waiting for? Go study.

Mitsuru(5/28): The equipment in the command room is still malfunctioning. I don't know the details, but it's causing some sort of unforeseen error. If you have time to examine it, I'd appreciate it.

Akihiko(6/11): The next battle is a month away. I need to make some adjustments to my training regimen. Let's get into shape and kick the enemy's ass. I'm itching for some action. What about you?

{"Hell yeah!"}

Akihiko: Good. I'm looking forward to seeing how much stronger you get.

{"Not really…"}

Akihiko: Well, you have a month to get ready. If you work hard over the next few weeks, you'll be ready to fight.

Fuuka(6/29): I've been meditating during my free time, focusing my mind. I'm trying to see how well I can concentrate during a short period of time. This will allow me to support you even better.

Junpei(7/1): Doesn't it seem like Fuuka becomes a different person when she uses a computer?

{"It sure does."}

Junpei: Maybe she's a hacker or something. I should ask her to teach me what she knows.

{"Not really."}

Junpei: You don't think so? I mean, her entire expression changes!

Mitsuru(7/11): 乾侃は冠らん。井でも寒いてくれ。Don't hesitate. Ask me anything.

{葛褐兜刈について}

{About Sanada-senpai.}

Mitsuru: あいつとは欝蔚に移い刊き鋭いだ。We've known each other for a long time. 援勘こそ可萎の韻だったが、萱の唄ってる化は馨て、あいつも唄っている。He joined S.E.E.S. when he was in middle school but he know everything that I know. 磯勧、萱の巻の花に臥してもな。Of course, he knows about my background too. ちなみにその貝は嘉のメンバ‒も栢て、そいつと轄且は⋯ Well, we had another S.E.E.S. member but Akihiko and he… と、これは喚艶な員だったな。That wasn't necessary.

{允印のスタンスについて}

{About your stance.}

Mitsuru: 窺えるつもりはない。I'm not thinking of changing at all. 允印が堪しい化をしているという鉛榎を越っているし⋯ I believe that I am doing the right thing… だから、井と烏われようとも荏わない。やるべきことを、やるだけだ。So, I don't care what other people say. I'll do what I have to do.

{骸韻吋は灰えるのか?}

{Do you think the Dark Hour would disappear?}

Mitsuru: 灰えるとも。Of course. 12のシャドウを貨した韻、骸韻吋は姦完も磯く灰え官る。After defeating 12 Shadows, the Dark Hour will disappear without any trace. そしてそれこそが、萱寛の演干廓幹だ。And that's our final goal.

Akihiko(7/11): こうなった箇花、唄ってる化は馨て員す。寒きたい化はあるか? I'll tell you everything that I know. Do you have anything to ask?

{芥蟹兜刈の巻に井が?}

{What happened to Kirijo-senpai?}

Akihiko: 感々しい鴛慣さ。It was a horrible experiment. 喝恰はグル‒プの憾と換して、井影もペルソナの鴛慣敢にされたんだよ。Mitsuru was being used as an experiment for Persona for years for Kirijo Group. 鴛の柑桓を鴛慣敢にするなんてな⋯棺い員だ⋯ Her grandfather used his real granddaughter as an experiment… How crucial…

{タルタロスとは亥液?}

{What is Tartarus exactly?}

Akihiko: あの款は歓だらけだ。穫寛もろくに汗漢できてない。That tower is full of mystery. We can't even grasp anything. だが、あの款に澗された潅環⋯ But the secret that's hidden in that tower… それを甘かない絵り、12のシャドウは貨せないと、穫はそう運ている。Until we reveal that secret, I believe that we can't defeat all 12 Shadows.

{園う蓋患について}

{The reason for you to fight.}

Akihiko: フッ⋯お椅も監い看を竿く管だな⋯ grin… I didn't know you touch people on their tender spot… 穫も釜鎌に烏われるまでは、どうでもいい化だと迦っていたが⋯ I thought I didn't care at all until Takeba talked to me… 園う蓋患か⋯あいつには、あるのか⋯? The reason to fight… I wonder if she has a reason…

Fuuka(7/11): ペルソナ謁いというのは、亥簡の"殻ばれた嘘緩"だと迦うんです。そしてそれは、シャドウとの園いを缶翰刊けられている化に肝しいと⋯ゆかりちゃんの茨越ちは、萱もよく印かります。でもそんな蓋艦を莞べた看で、缶翰が萱寛を観がすとは迦えません。とにかく、井とあっても、やり諌げる箇貫に還はないんだと⋯

Junpei(7/13): Dude, I can't wait to see some hotties in bikinis! Hey, what're you smiling at? Are you thinking of something?

{"Yeah, I can picture it."}

Junpei: Yeah! You da man! You wanna talk about bikinis?

{"Nah, I don't care."}

Junpei: Dude, what's up with that? I'm revoking your "man card."

Fuuka(7/13): Um… I understand everyone's excited, but… …aren't you all forgetting about the midterm? I'm a little worried… especially about Junpei-kun.

Fuuka(10/5): I feel terrible… I lost my temper and said all those things to Yukari-chan… But I'm really worried about Ken-kun… I know how it feels not to have a place to belong to.

Junpei(11/11): Hey, I'm thinking about visiting Chidori at the hospital. So, uhh… Think I should bring anything for her?

{"Just talk to her."}

Junpei: That's all? I was thinking about some kinda present… …… But you know… maybe it would be enough just to talk. I mean, she's in the hospital all alone… I dunno if she'll listen to my stories, but I'm gonna try.

> Junpei seems a bit relieved.

{"It's useless to go."}

Junpei: Yeah… She'd probably kick me out of the hospital, huh?

Junpei(11/14): I went to see Chidori yesterday. Check this out… Every time she looked at my face, she got pissed. I thought about asking the nurse if something was up, but I'm sure the staff doesn't give a shit… I… I'm gonna stop visiting her…

{"It's better that way."}

Junpei: Yeah… I guess…

{"Don't give up."}

Junpei: R-Really? Yeah… you know, you're right! I'm famous for never knowing when to quit! I'm going to visit her whether she likes it or not!

> Junpei seems a bit relieved.

Ken(11/20): A souvenir? Really?

Which one will you give him? {Konpeito} Ken: Wow, Konpeito! I love this! Thank you for the wonderful souvenir! {Mibu Cracker} Ken: Crackers…? I-I thought only old people liked this… {Other souvenirs} {Don't give} {Pickled Turnip} Ken: Hmm? Are these… pickled vegetables? sigh {Nama-yatsuhashi} Ken: Ooh, nama-yatsuhashi? Yay! It's got the sweet red beans! Nama-yatsuhashi with sweet red beans is the best! Thank you for the souvenir. {Other souvenirs} {Don't give} Give {F2 19 01 01} to Ken? Ken: Oh… You didn't bring any souvenirs…

Junpei(11/22): I wonder what'll happen to Chidori after she gets outta the hospital. Will she be able to live a normal life, like an ordinary girl?

{"Just let it be."}

Junpei: I know the Kirijo Group won't do anything bad to her, but… …I'll have to talk to Mitsuru-senpai about it.

{"If you help her…"}

Junpei: Y-Yeah… you're right. There must be something that only I can do! …Thanks, dude!

> Junpei seems a bit relieved.

Fuuka(1/21): sniffle Sorry… Every time I think about what happened today, I start to tear up.

Junpei(3/1): Wow, I can't believe that girl actually lives in our dorm. How didn't I notice her when we both live under the same roof? Is my luck with girls that bad?

{"Probably."}

Junpei: C'mon, man! Don't be so harsh! Aw, who am I kiddin'? I don't have ANY luck with girls…

{"I don't think so."}

Junpei: I'm glad you said that. Maybe I should take this opportunity to talk to that girl then.

Aigis(3/1): ……

Aigis seems to be thinking about something…

Girl(3/1): ……

The girl seems to be thinking about something…

Ken(3/1): It's already graduation… Two of our senior members are beginning to pack up. I wonder who's going to come next year.

{"A nice girl."}

Ken: R-Really…? That doesn't sound so bad. What? I mean, it's not like I care or anything… Hey, stop making fun of me!

{"A scary boy."}

Ken: Oh… That's too bad… Hey, are you just pulling my leg, Main-san…?

{"No one will come."}

Ken: Oh… That's too bad.

Yukari(3/2): Hey, listen to this… When I was talking to Mitsuru-senpai… I mistakenly called her Mitsuru. But, she didn't get mad. In fact, she called me Yukari. Isn't that weird?

{"Yeah, that is weird."}

Yukari: That was a careless mistake. I'm not supposed to call her by her first name.

{"No, I don't think so."}

Yukari: Well, you're wrong. Girls' relationships are very delicate and complex.

{"That sounds more natural."}

Yukari: Really? Even when we don't know each other that well? I mean, I can't call her by her first name, no matter what.

Fuuka(3/2): What do you think about being helpful to others?

{"It's a great thing to do."}

Fuuka: That's what I thought… I want to help others as much as I can. I feel like that's what I'm meant to do…

{"Think of yourself first."}

Fuuka: That's one way of living, I guess. I don't think I can do that though…

Ken(3/3): Koromaru is always looking at us. Do you think he's thinking about something?

{"Of course he is."}

Ken: Yeah, I'd love to know what he's thinking about. I think I remember someone was saying they were able to understand what Koromaru was saying… But that can't be possible, right?

{"No, I don't think so."}

Ken: I wonder if that's true… Hey, Koromaru, is your brain empty inside?

({0A} is a line break. The dialogue is called 'SRMSG_PER_KOE' screen message persona voice)

{Invite to the movies}

{Don't invite}

Would you like to hear the Persona's voice? It seems further power lies hidden… No further power is available.

(Now she's called Huuka)

Fuuka: Ken-kun didn't seem well. Maybe he's exhausted from the heat, like Junpei…

Fuuka is worried. She's not in the mood to go to the movies…

Fuuka: Ken-kun's joining yesterday was a surprise… I think he wasn't sure how to bring it up… …But I'm glad he's looking better now.

Fuuka seems relieved. Since you have {F2 03 01 01}, a Persona of the Priestress Arcana, you should get along well with Fuuka. Would you like to invite Fuuka to the Film Festival? Would you like to invite Fuuka to the Film Festival?

{Yes}

{Check Social Link rank}

{No}

Fuuka: You want to go with me? …Sure, that sounds fun. I was actually thinking about going, because the theme today seems interesting. I'm glad to have someone to go with.

Fuuka: I really enjoyed myself at the movies. With so many films on one ticket, the price ended up being very low. Is Iwatodai the only place that holds festivals like this?

Fuuka: Summer vacation is over soon… I had a great time at the Film Festival. I decided to go by myself… It was more crowded than I expected, so I was a little nervous… but the movies were so interesting! I hope there's another Film Festival next year.

Fuuka already went to the Film Festival. She seems to have had a good time. {F2 03 01 01} Social Link, rank {F2 02 02 01}{F2 03 03 01}{F2 02 01 01}. You will discover Personas with an affinity for the {F2 03 02 01} Arcana. You are able to see the power of knowledge, associated with the {F2 03 02 01} Arcana…

Fuuka: Oh, good morning. Did you know there's a one-day-only Film Festival today? The promoter said there was so much demand, they decided to hold another one. I guess people liked it!

Mitsuru: I must file a report with the Kirijo Group… The formatting is tricky… I'll have to do some research.

Mitsuru seems busy. She's not available to go to the movies…

Mitsuru: With Ken on our team, we have more manpower. Although he's still a child…

Mitsuru seems to be pondering. She's not in the mood to go to the movies…

Mitsuru: I haven't had a free day in some time, but it's here at last. It's inevitable when one has a month off that there will be at least one day with a clear schedule. Hmm… What should I do?

Mitsuru seems to be free today. Would you like to invite Mitsuru to the Film Festival?

Mitsuru: Hm… the movies… I just remembered that I received VIP tickets from a distributor… …I think I'll make use of them. All right, let's go.

Mitsuru: I had a great time yesterday. I've only ever seen employee previews before… I've never had a chance to see a movie start to finish before. I'm sorry about all the extra attention we got because of my VIP tickets… Anyway, thank you for inviting me.

Mitsuru: I have plans today. I'll be back before it's dark, though. I appear to be something of a workaholic. Without anything to do yesterday, I only got bored. So I decided to take a nap… which actually gave me a headache.

Mitsuru seems busy. She's not in the mood to go to the movies…

Yukari: Hey. It's another hot day… Maybe I should just stick around the dorm. My friend texted me, saying she was bailing on our plans to go to the Film Festival. It must have been some emergency! She was so excited about it…

Yukari seems interested in going to the Film Festival. Since you have {F2 03 01 01}, a Persona of the Lover Arcana, you should get along well with Yukari. Would you like to invite Yukari to the Film Festival? Would you like to invite Yukari to the Film Festival?

Yukari: Hm? With you? Well… Sure, why not? I hope you're into the kinda stuff they're showing today, cause we'll be seeing a lot of it!

Yukari seems happy. {F2 03 01 01} Social Link, rank {F2 02 02 01}{F2 03 03 01}{F2 02 01 01}. You will discover Personas with an affinity for the {F2 03 02 01} Arcana. You are able to see the power of charm, associated with the {F2 03 02 01} Arcana…

Yukari: Hm? With you? …Sorry, I wasn't trying to guilt you into taking me, but… I do hate going alone, so… Sure, let's go!

Yukari: Look at that hat-wearing idiot… He's eating hot food in boiling weather! Just watching him is making me sweat! Main-kun, can you get him outta here?

Junpei: Sorry, Yuka-tan… I didn't mean to freak you out… Here, I'll give you half! But you gotta use my chopsticks, cause I didn't bring any spares.

Yukari: Why would I want any!? Anyway… This whole summer has been scorching… I can't concentrate on my homework with this heat.

Yukari seems busy. She's not able to go to the movies…

Yukari: All three of those movies were great… but most importantly, there was air conditioning! Haha, I'm just kidding. I really had fun today… I'm glad I came! Thanks for inviting me.

Yukari: I promised myself I'd do my homework first thing, but my room was too hot to study, so I came out here… My friend's coming by later to compare notes, so I have to finish, but… aaaargh!

Yukari seems busy. She's not in the mood to go to the movies…

Yukari: I'm almost done with my homework. Every year, I wish I'd finished my homework in July, but somehow I never actually do it… But I bet Junpei hasn't even started. He can beg all he wants, but I'm not gonna let him copy off mine.

Yukari seems busy. She's not able to go to the movies…

Yukari: Junpei's still fooling around… He'd better get started on that homework, or he'll be in trouble. As for me, I'm all done now! Time for some fun!

Yukari seems to have already made plans. She's not able to go to the movies…

Aigis: I am very busy at the moment, Main-san. "You should relax during summer vacation"… That is what I was told. Thus, I am devoting all available processes to relaxation.

Aigis seems serious… You decided to leave her alone.

Aigis: Koromaru-san has an intense desire to go somewhere. Furthermore, it appears that if he does not go today, he will not be able to go at all. Please listen to Koromaru-san's request, Main-san.

Koromaru: Arf!

Will you accept Koromaru's invitation? {Yes} Koromaru: Arf! Aigis: Koromaru-san is very happy. I, in turn, am happy for Koromaru-san. {No}

Aigis: Main-san… Relaxation is quite a difficult task. Merely standing in one spot does not seem to count as relaxing. Today, I am observing everyone's actions so that tomorrow, I might relax in the correct manner.

Aigis seems busy… But she may go with you to the Film Festival tomorrow.

Aigis: There's a meeting tonight. I will relax until then. Do you have any suggestions on how to relax, Main-san?

Aigis doesn't seem to be busy… Would you like to invite Aigis to the Film Festival?

Aigis: The… movies? I see… So going out is considered to be relaxing, too. Then let us go and relax.

Aigis: Hello, Main-ninja. …Just kidding.

Aigis: Summer vacation will end soon. This dorm will become quieter once everyone is back at school. …… I am thinking of ways to be beside you in September and beyond.

Aigis seems serious… You decided to leave her alone.

Koromaru: Arf!

Koromaru seems energetic. Would you like to invite him to the Film Festival?

Koromaru: …Arf.

Koromaru is not in the mood to go out…

Koromaru: Arf! Arf, arf!

Koromaru seems energetic.

Koromaru: ……

You spot something under Koromaru's paw… Would you like to pick it up? {Yes} Koromaru: Arf! Arf! …It's a Red Fountain Pen. Obtained {F2 1D A5 14}. {No} Koromaru: Arf!

Akihiko: Hey, (Last Name). You look bored. Not that I can claim any different… I actually want to switch up my workout plan, but the heat is killing me…

Akihiko seems bored… Would you like to invite Akihiko to the Film Festival?

Akihiko: You look bored. Did you finish your homework? …Well, you're one up on Junpei. Alright… Film Festival, huh? I didn't know about it 'til Junpei told me. C'mon, let's go.

Akihiko: Main, do you have any ideas for my workout plan? I need to figure a way to bust out punches like the ones in the movie…

Akihiko is thinking hard… You decided to leave him alone.

Akihiko: I changed my workout plan. This one should keep me out of boredom for a while. Let's see… According to the new plan, I have to…

Akihiko seems busy. He's not able to go to the movies…

Akihiko: If you ask me, it's just like Ikutsuki-san said earlier. Ken has a strong will. A kid's resolve can be much stronger than an adult's… ……

Akihiko still seems worried about Ken… He's not in the mood to go to the movies…

Junpei: Yow! Hot, hot, hot! I gotta hurry or I'll miss the trailers! But I gotta eat first, or I'll faint on the way over… Oh, hey, Main. I'm thinking of catching some flicks. Wanna come along? The lineup today is choice, man!

Would you like to go to the Film Festival? {Yes} Junpei: Sweet! Just gimme a minute to finish eating! {No} Junpei: Got plans already, huh? Boo to that! This is a one-day-only opportunity! You'll never see movies like this on the big screen again!

Junpei: Ken looks pretty down… Is it the heat or something? Kids are supposed to be outside in the yard, playing with the dog. Though there's no backyard here… Hey, we have a dog! I could be playing with him now!

Junpei seems busy… He's not able to go to the movies…

Junpei: How'd you like the movies yesterday? Awesome, huh? I wanna be that badass someday! If they keep playing the same movies, I swear I'll go see them, like, ten times.

Junpei is not interested in seeing any other movies.

Junpei: I went to the movies yesterday, and it was awesome! I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. I had to pee, but I held it in, cause I didn't want to miss anything! If they keep playing the same movies, I swear I'll go see them, like, ten times.

Junpei is not interested in seeing any other movies.

Ken: Ummm… Today's the last day of summer vacation, right? Well, since it's the last day… I was wondering if you had any plans. I-I was just curious. It's no big deal… ……

Ken seems like he wants to say something… {Invite him to the movies} Ken: S-Sure! {Do nothing}

Ken: I always thought there's something I had to do. But I could never achieve it, because there was so much else in the way. But I've made up my mind… the next chance I get, I'll do it. My mind is clear.

Ken has a serious expression… He's not in the mood to go to the movies…

Ken: Now that I've joined SEES, I see you all differently. …I'll do my best as a SEES member.

Ken has a serious expression… He's not in the mood to go to the movies…

Shinjiro: …You finally look better. When you were sick, your face was white as a sheet. I'm glad to see you up and around.

Shinjiro: …Huh? Film Festival? I totally forgot they had those… Not that I've ever been to one.

Shinjiro: …With me? Don't you wanna go with someone a little closer to your age? …… Hmph… weirdo. Well, let's go.

Yukari: Huh? Pine resin…? You need some? Why would I have pine resin…? ……! Ohhh, okay… You mean the powder we use in Archery Club, right? The yellow stuff? We use it even in practices, so it runs out quick… But I think I have some left… Hang on.

Yukari: Here you go. …What did you need it for, anyway? Got a bow to take care of? Well, whatever.

Obtained {F2 1D C0 14}.

Yukari: Golden Week starts tomorrow. We get three days off. So naturally, they scheduled midterms right after the break… It sucks!

Junpei: Oooh, you're lookin' for a handheld game system? Admit it, Main--you're hooked! I guess that online game I gave you really got you going, huh? Weeeelll…. I just got the redesigned COMPstation Portable to replace my original model. No sense in keeping 'em both, so you can have the old one. I'll go get it for you. Wait one sec.

Junpei: Here y'go. I'll take you on anytime!

Obtained {F2 1D C4 14}.

Mitsuru: Hm? You're looking for a triangular sword? What are you talking about? Is this some sort of riddle? Triangular sword… A triangle… …… Oh, do you mean a fencing epee? It's not exactly a triangular sword, but the blade's cross-section does resemble a triangle.

Mitsuru: I have a few in my room. I'll fetch one for you. Do you plan on taking up fencing? If so, I can give you lessons once I have some spare time.

Obtained {F2 1D C1 14}.

Akihiko: Huh…? You want some protein? Gonna start bodybuilding, eh? Well, I have some leftover stuff for beginners, from back in the day. Hold on.

Akihiko: Here you go. It's the "Ama-Pro" brand. It's specially formulated for guys who are just starting out.

Obtained {F2 1D C7 14}.

Akihiko: The Shadows are getting stronger. If you're not constantly training, you'll have a rough time with the later battles.

Shuji Ikutsuki: Hmmm? Need something to wipe off your glasses? Well, I have something, of course, but… you don't wear glasses. …Aha! Now I see clearly. Get it? Heh heh… It's not for your glasses… It's for a friend! Right? It's nice of you to "look" after him. Well then, by all means, take this. It looks dingy, but it works very well, in fact. Your friend's glasses will shine like the sun!

Obtained {F2 1D C2 14}.

Shuji Ikutsuki: The question is, do Shadows act independent of one another? Or do they work as a team? Do Shadows devour human minds for some unknown purpose? Or is it simply for their own sustenance? We must learn more about them.

Fuuka: Huh…? A Christmas star? That's… the ornament at the top of the tree, right? What do you want one of those for? And where would I find one…? …… Ohh… I think I might know what you're talking about. There's a type of plant that's sometimes called the "Christmas Star." I think it's pretty common, too… Could you wait a few minutes? I'll go look it up.

Fuuka: Sorry for the wait! I think a poinsettia is what you're looking for. It's usually a Christmas flower, so you won't find it in stores now. Fortunately, I had some in my room. Here you go.

Obtained {F2 1D C3 14}.

Shinjiro: You want a fruit knife? What for? …… Are you gonna cook with it…? Here, I'll get you one.

Shinjiro: There you go. It's kinda old, but it has a great grip. …Well? Take it.

Obtained {F2 1D C5 14}.

Shinjiro: The Culture Festival… I forgot we had those. I hate that stuff. I try not to think about it.

Aigis: Are you looking for oil? There are many types of oil… Fuel, food, and so on… If you'd like, I can give you some of my silicon oil, for delicate parts. I have a large supply.

Obtained {F2 1D C9 14}.

Koromaru: Arf!

Koromaru seems to be happy, thanks to a full stomach of dog food. Koromaru: …… Awooon… He thinks you're hungry… Koromaru is looking at you with eyes full of sympathy. Koromaru: Arf! Koromaru brought you some of his own dog food. Obtained {F2 1D C8 14}.

Ken: What…? A Featherman R doll? Umm… are you talking about Phoenix Ranger Featherman R? Isn't that the prize that comes with packs of Gummy Gum? I-I'm too old for that stuff… Why would you want one? You're an adult… …… Um… C-Can you keep a secret!?

Ken: I had an extra postcard… I thought I might as well send it in… And, um… I have a duplicate of this one already… S-So you can have it. Wow, though… I never knew you liked Phoenix Ranger Featherman R! I-If you want… M-Maybe we could watch it together sometime…?

Obtained {F2 1D C6 14}. Koromaru is looking at you pleadingly… He seems to want to go for a walk…

If no one else has taken him out, you can walk Koromaru at night. Occasionally your dormmates will join you. Walking Koromaru will take up your time for the night.

{Walk Koromaru}

{Let someone else do it}

Yukari can go with you tonight. Fuuka can go with you tonight. Mitsuru can go with you tonight. Aigis can go with you tonight. Akihiko can go with you tonight. Junpei can go with you tonight. Ken can go with you tonight. Shinjiro can go with you tonight. Koromaru is begging you more than usual tonight… Would you like to go for a walk with everyone?

{Go together}

{Go alone}

{Let someone else do it}

Koromaru smells something. …He's not in the mood for a walk. Koromaru is yawning. …He's not in the mood for a walk. Koromaru is tilting his head. …He's not in the mood for a walk. Koromaru is whimpering. …He's not in the mood for a walk. Koromaru is stretched out. …He's not in the mood for a walk. Koromaru seems satisfied. Maybe you should take him for a walk tomorrow…

Yukari(4/19): Where ya goin'? Mitsuru-senpai is downstairs, and she won't let you leave.

Akihiko(4/25): Mitsuru says you need to stay put until you've healed. She's pretty strict.

Yukari(5/4_: Oh yeah, about your weapon… You'll have to carry it with you, even when you're not in battle. A one-handed sword is probably the easiest to use. It's not too hard to swing, and it has decent range.

Junpei(8/16): No money, no girlfriend… I guess I'm not going to the festival. Man, it's freakin' hot out. My room is like a sauna.

Junpei(1/17): Akihiko-senpai and Mitsuru-senpai are taking the college admissions test. Dude, that'll be us before you know it. I'm not lookin' forward to it, though.

[ns007_003](2nd floor)(Shinjiro has no dialogue in this file, but his name at the top is 括活 渇滑)

Junpei(11/6): なあMain? オレ井かチドリに関われるコトしたか?

{してない}

だよなぁ⋯じゃあ井でアイツ⋯

{印からない}

そうだよな⋯ オマエに寒いたって唄るワケないよな⋯廻い、意のは磯かったコトにしてくれや。

Junpei(11/6): Hey, Main… I think Chidori hates me now… I don't know what to do, man…

{"Go see her."}

Huh…? Y-Yeah… you're right. Maybe she was just havin' a bad day.

> Junpei seems a bit relieved.

{"Just give up."}

Junpei: She probably hates me for sure now… I don't know what it was I did…

Junpei:(11/27) I probably shouldn't act like such a drag around Chidori, huh?

{"Yeah."}

Junpei: I know… I know… I'm trying to forget about it, but I just can't. I don't know what to do…

{"You can't help it."}

Junpei: Easy there, pal. No need to get all sensitive on me. But, thanks… I'll try to get out of this funk.

Ken: Ummm… Today's the last day of summer vacation, right? Well, since it's the last day… I was wondering if you had any plans. I-I was just curious. It's no big deal… ……

Ken seems like he wants to say something… {Invite him to the movies} Ken: S-Sure! {Do nothing}

Ken: I always thought there's something I had to do. But I could never achieve it, because there was so much else in the way. But I've made up my mind… the next chance I get, I'll do it. My mind is clear.

Ken has a serious expression… He's not in the mood to go to the movies…

Koromaru: ……

You spot something under Koromaru's paw… Would you like to pick it up? {Yes} Koromaru: Arf! Arf! …It's a Red Fountain Pen. Obtained {F2 1D A5 14}. {No} Koromaru: Arf! Koromaru is looking at you pleadingly… He seems to want to go for a walk…

If you haven't already gone out at{0A}night, you can spend your evening walking Koromaru. Sometimes, your dormmates will join you.

{Take him for a walk}

{Let someone else do it}

Yukari can go with you tonight. Fuuka can go with you tonight. Mitsuru can go with you tonight. Aigis can go with you tonight. Akihiko can go with you tonight. Junpei can go with you tonight. Ken can go with you tonight. Shinjiro can go with you tonight. Koromaru is begging harder than ever… Would you like to go for a walk with everyone?

{Go together}

{Go alone}

{Let someone else do it}

[nm007_004](3rd Floor)

Mitsuru(4/19): sigh Akihiko is his usual self. That doesn't mean he won't be a big help, though. Hey, what are you doing up here? This is the girls' floor. Unless you have important business, go back downstairs.

[nm007_006](Meeting Room/Lounge)

Shuji Ikutsuki(4/11): How Shadows came into this world is still a mystery. I used to be a researcher for Kirijo Electronics… That is the primary reason why I am the chairman of the board. And that is also what makes this dormitory such a convenient location to conduct SEES activities. Oh, you should also be aware that I am unable to summon Personas. However, in order to perform my research, I was taught how to enter the Dark Hour. So if you need any help, please do not hesitate to ask. Of course, I cannot be of any help. Ahahaha…

Mitsuru(4/18): Those who are unable to experience the Dark Hour are Transmogrified during that time… They appear as coffins. Shadows are quite enigmatic… They only attack those who have not been Transmogrified. Shadows feed on the minds of their victims, leaving them unable to speak. We call this Apathy Syndrome. And those who suffer from this incapacitating affliction are known as… …The Lost.

Akihiko(4/11): Ikutsuki-san invented the Evoker to make it easier for us to summon our Personas. But, I've heard that there used to be people who could summon their Personas without it. By the way, be careful with that thing… The Evoker looks exactly like a gun, even though it's not. So don't go flashing it around town, or you might get arrested.

Yukari(4/11): I'm not sure how well Mitsuru-senpai and Akihiko-senpai get along. Akihiko-senpai kinda gets on her nerves.

Shuji Ikutsuki(11/3): Today is the day. Please be careful.

Yukari(6/11): It seems like Yamagishi-san was forced into joining us. She appears to have a complex about being able to help others. Maybe Mitsuru-senpai only made it seem like Yamagishi-san wanted to join… This is all hypothetical of course.

Fuuka(6/11): I never thought that anyone would ever need my help. I'm still new to this, so please be patient with me.

Yukari(7/9): Don't you think Mitsuru-senpai is treating these missions as if they're more important than her own life? I mean, she'll do anything to win. And if I disagree with her on something, she doesn't care… What do you think, Fuuka?

Fuuka: …… I don't like to think that way… But Senpai doesn't seem to be that kind of person.

Fuuka(7/9): There are many things we know about… …and other things we don't know about. But, there are some things we should never know about.

Yukari(8/8): People can forget about things they don't like. Um, well, that's it.

Aigis(8/8): Yukari-san and Junpei-san are not as happy as they once were. I would have thought Koromaru-san joining the team would raise their spirits. Is summer school that destructive?

[ns007_006](Meeting Room)(Doesn't have the bit at the start)

{"Yes."}

{"No."}

{Check everyone's status}

{Go to Tartarus tonight}

{Talk}

{Done}

{"Please tell me."}

{"I don't need to know."}

Mitsuru: …Hm? You don't look so good. Are you tired? You should return to your room and rest. It's not wise to push yourself when you're not feeling well.

You will recover within a few days if you rest and do not go to Tartarus. Be aware of your condition; if you are sick or tired, you will not fight at full strength during battle.

Mitsuru: …Hm? What's the matter?

Mitsuru: You don't look well. What's the matter?

Mitsuru: …Anything else?

Mitsuru: Very well. We'll meet at Tartarus around midnight. Don't be late. I'll let the others know.

Mitsuru: The number of members who aren't feeling well is {F2 03 01 01}.

Mitsuru: It seems that no one is ill.

Mitsuru: Do you want to know the status of each member?

Fuuka: Um… Can I help you?

Fuuka: You don't look so good. What's wrong?

Fuuka: …Is there anything else?

Fuuka: I see. Then, let's meet in the usual place. I'll let the others know. See you there.

Fuuka: The number of members who don't feel good is {F2 03 01 01}.

Yukari(11/3): Finally, this is it…

Yukari(11/22): Let's go after Junpei!

Yukari: Okay.

Yukari(7/7): I'm going, no matter what!

Yukari: Let's get going!

Yukari: Okay. Be careful…

Yukari: …The party is already full.

Yukari: Who should I switch with?

Yukari: I'm gonna go, no matter what you say!

Aigis(11/3): I am prepared to go.

Aigis(11/22): I'm ready. Let us commence.

Aigis: Roger.

Aigis: Let us go.

Aigis: …Roger.

Aigis: Your party seems to be at capacity.

Aigis: …Who shall I replace?

Mitsuru(7/7): Don't allow your surroundings to interfere with your objective. We're here to defeat Shadows.

Mitsuru(11/3): Everything will end tonight…

Mitsuru(11/22): Let's go after Iori.

Mitsuru: Alright, let's go.

Mitsuru: There's no time. Let's go.

Mitsuru: I see… Just be careful.

Mitsuru: …The party is full.

Mitsuru: Who should I replace?

Junpei(7/7): Dude, aren't you psyched?

Junpei(11/3): This is it, man. Let's make it one for the record books!

Junpei: Okay, gotcha.

Junpei: Dude, let's get going.

Junpei: …Fine.

Junpei: …Dude, there's no room.

Junpei: Who should I switch with?

Fuuka: Are you ready?

Fuuka: It's too dangerous to go without a full party..

Fuuka: I'll get ready to provide support, so you can head on over.

Fuuka: Okay, let's go.

Akihiko(7/7): …Don't get cocky.

Akihiko(11/3): I don't care how many of 'em there are… I'll finish 'em off today.

Akihiko(11/22): What are you doing? Let's go.

Akihiko: Leave it to me.

Akihiko: What are you waiting for? Let's go.

Akihiko: …Tch, fine.

Akihiko: There are too many members in the{0A}party.

Akihiko: Who do you want me to switch with?

Ken(11/3): This is it, huh…

Ken(11/22): I'm worried about Junpei-san. Let's go after him.

Ken: Okay, I'll do my best.

Ken: Let's get going.

Ken: Alright… I understand.

Ken: …But, there's no room for me.

Ken: Who should I switch with?

Koromaru: Woof!

Koromaru: Woof woof!

Koromaru: Woof!

Koromaru: whimper

Koromaru: Woof!

Koromaru: Woof woof!

Yukari: Oh, thanks.

Aigis: Thank you.

Mitsuru: Thank you. I appreciate it.

Junpei: Gracias, dude.

Akihiko: …Thanks.

Ken: Wow, thanks!

Koromaru: Woof!

Koromaru seems happy.

Yukari: Y-You want me to put this on!? sigh Fine. You're abusing your power, ya know. If my friends find out about this…

Yukari: …… I can't believe you're ordering me to wear this… You've really let this whole "leader" thing go to your head, you know that? …… Fine… I'll wear it. Hope you're happy…

Aigis: These must be… The clothes I wore before… They're very comfortable, and easy to wear!

Aigis: These clothes… Do you prefer to see me in these clothes, Main-san…? They are not suited to battle… But I do not mind wearing them. Thank you very much.

Mitsuru: ……! …… Alright, I'll wear it. But, only for the sake of the mission.

Mitsuru: Hm… What is this for? ……!? A-Are you seriously asking me to wear this!? …… A-Are you certain this will help in battle…? I want an explanation for this afterwards…!

Junpei: Dude, this is awesome! Now, victory is in the bag!

Junpei: Huh? A bathing suit…? Wait… You want me to explore Tartarus in my swim trunks!? Dude… that's a GREAT idea! Gimme that!

Akihiko: H-Hey, this is… …Oh, I get it. It's a challenge, isn't it? Well, I accept. I'll do whatever it takes to win!

Akihiko: Hm…? Why a bathing suit? Well, if you want me to wear it, fine with me. It's no different than what I wear while I box. …… …What? Did I say something funny?

Ken: Wha…? Are you serious!? This is gonna be so embarrassing…

Ken: Oh… These are the clothes you wear on… ……!? W-Wait… you want me to wear these…? Aaagh… Th-This is so embarassing… Fine… I'll show you I'm not a kid…

Yukari: FYI--I changed my equipment.

Aigis: I thought you would like to know… I have changed my equipment.

Mitsuru: For your information, I have changed my equipment.

Junpei: I just changed my equipment, dude.

Akihiko: Just so you know, I changed my equipment.

Ken: I changed my equipment, okay?

Koromaru: Woof!

Koromaru's equipment seems to be new.

Yukari: Here, I'm returning this.

Aigis: Here, this belongs to you.

Mitsuru: Thank you for lending me this…

Junpei: Here, you can have this back.

Akihiko: Thanks for letting me borrow this…

Ken: You can have this back… I don't need it anymore.

Koromaru: Woof!

Koromaru has returned the equipment you gave him. Received {F3 1A 01 01 02 01}. Recieved {F3 1A 01 01 02 01}. Recieved {F3 1A 03 01 04 01}.

Mitsuru(5/9): It's been a month, now, since you arrived. I know that many unusual things have happened, but aside from that, how are you faring?

{"Great."}

Mitsuru: C'est magnifique.

{"I'm overwhelmed."}

Mitsuru: That's to be expected. This school is quite different from the others out there.

{"I'm exhausted."}

Mitsuru: Well, at least you're honest. But yes, school life can be very tiring… However, we have an important job to do. Just consider all your hard work as valuable training for the future.

Mitsuru(6/11): Yamagishi's persona ability is similar to mine. We can both provide support during battle. However, she is far more adept at it. That's why I will be rejoining the battle party. I hope I haven't gotten rusty with my sword…

Akihiko(6/11): The next mission won't be for a month, huh… Well, at least that gives me time to train. I need to plan my regimen. I can't wait. How 'bout you? Are you excited?

{"Of course."}

Akihiko: I wonder how strong we can get…

{"Will we be okay…?"}

Akihiko: Of course. We have a whole month. If you be prepare, then your fear will turn into confidence.

Yukari(6/20): Tartarus… Why does it even exist? Isn't it kinda strange that no one knows anything about it at all?

{"True."}

Yukari: Not knowing about something and not talking about it are sort of the same thing, when you think about it. That's just how it is, I guess.

{"You're thinking too much."}

Yukari: Yeah, maybe… At least, I hope so…

Fuuka(8/8): What are we going to do about feeding Koro-chan? We have to decide how we're going to split up the responsibilities…

Junpei(8/8): Man, this sucks. Stupid summer school. You think it's stupid, too, right Main?

{"It sucks."}

Junpei: sigh Sometimes I wish I had Apathy Syndrome… Then, I wouldn't have to think about school anymore.

{"Not really."}

Junpei: Man, how can you stay so focused? I wish I could be like that…

{"I love to learn."}

Junpei: Are you freakin' kidding me!? Dude, you're acting like a total nerd.

Mitsuru(11/3): Well, then… We should be going.

Shuji Ikutsuki(11/3): Okay… Be careful.

Mitsuru(11/3): …Let's go!

(MSG0131MITURU_01(In the script, just here for context))

Mitsuru: I wasn't able to save my father… But, his dreams live on inside of me… I'll make sure they come true… Alright, let's get going.

Yet another thread relocation because this editor breaks too damn much lately T_T || @tacitusauxilium

✦✦✦~ Fuuka

“…I…lost Juno.” Fuuka whispered hoarsely, her eyes squinting in fear of Akihiko getting ready to yell at her. She clasped her hands together, trying to feel for her. She made sure Akihiko couldn’t get a word in as she continued speaking. “M-minato saved my life and it cost me my Persona. Minato’s shadow attacked me–through the chest–” Her hands shot to her chest, wincing in pain as she could feel the pain and lowered her eyes. “–a-and I can’t sense no one anymore! I-I can’t sense if anyone is in pain, if anyone is lost–I-I don’t want to be removed from the Shadow Operatives!” 

Akihiko listened to Fuuka’s woes; he was surprised that Juno seemed to have disappeared from Fuuka’s mind–heck, he didn’t know how Personas work but that they appeared. He quietly thought, and feared, that maybe the shadow that formed from Minato stole her Persona? He had never heard of it happening before–at least Mitsuru was getting the full story from Minato at this moment. Akihiko put a hand on top of Fuuka’s head and shook his head. “You won’t be removed–I’ll be sure of that. Fuuka, you’ve done so much for everyone then and now. I know Juno will come back to you. And if I am wrong, I’ll be sure to stop traveling the world and focus on college.”

Fuuka sniffed her nose, feeling a tickle of a laugh wanting to escape, but it stayed inside of her chest–she only nodded to his promise. Fuuka wouldn’t know how to act like a normal adult–go to college, become a doctor to satisfy her parents goals, and watch her lover have the freedom she couldn’t? She mentally shook the thought from her mind as Akihiko moved to reach for her water and snack and handed it to her. “…thank you.” Was all Fuuka could say as she clenched them closer to her chest.

Akihiko nodded and lowered his hand from the top of her head. “Come on. Let’s go back to the room–I’m sure Minato and Mitsuru want to talk to you and see you. Besides that, you need a bed to sleep in. Wouldn’t want Minato to get jealous of me carrying you to bed, right?” He joked, noticing that Fuuka didn’t really react quickly to the joke, and felt his heart twinging in sadness at how badly she was. Fuuka nodded slowly and felt Akihiko’s hand on her back, guiding her back to Minato’s room while feeling like an empty shell of a person. She was there physically but her mind was somewhere far away.

As he greeted her, the redhead kept her expression serious, but slightly gentle. While this was a serious discussion, it was still good to see him again, despite the bandaged and healing wounds, still in decent health. There was a lot to talk about, so Mitsuru would get right to the point of her visit and get Minato's full account of what happened, and what led up to him being in a hospital bed and recovering from a successful surgery, She had gotten the brief description of it, but she would need the full report, to better help assess what happened and what would possibly come next.

Booted heels click on the ground as she makes her way towards a chair by his bedside so she can listen. Besides, she was sure that this would be a bit of a long talk, so she figured she might as well sit down as they go over the event that had brought them here in full detail.

[{ ♕ }] - "As expected, you seem to be recovering relatively well. I'm glad. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time for a more adequate visit, so I'll get right to the discussion at hand. For now, let's start with when this shadow appeared, and what led up to the confrontation."

It was a bit of a shame that this wasn't a normal visit, Mitsuru had become a very close friend of his from their circle of friends, and everyone held a special place in parts of his heart, but Mitsuru wasn't just a close friend, she was also a mentor to him as well, she even went out of her way to ensure that the graves of his parents were being well-maintained and cared for to continue to respectfully honor their memory and that to Minato, meant so much. So, he wanted to give her all the details he could to help her further her investigation into the matter.

Taking a deep breath, Minato sat up a bit, albeit slowly given that he was still very early into the healing process. Closing his eyes, he begins to think, projecting the scene of everything that happened clearly in the back of his mind, grey-colored hues open, and he begins to explain, playing back the experience like a movie on a big auditorium screen.

[{ 🦋 }] - "I had just gotten back from a podcast, and Fuuka wasn't at the house, so I got worried. Only to get a picture text from her phone, but it wasn't Fuuka, it was the shadow... my shadow." One short pause as he revealed to her the identity of the aforementioned shadow that had been responsible for the state Minato was currently in.

[{ ♕ }] - "Your shadow? And you're sure it wasn't just taking your form? If this really was your shadow, then this may be more serious than I had originally anticipated." Minato's expression remains serious as he says nothing. The expression he wore was more than enough to tell her that he was serious.

[{ ♕ }] - "I see...please continue." She adds, convinced by the look on his face, she continues to listen to the rest of the recollection of what happened.

[{ 🦋 }] - "The text was a message, telling me to meet him at a specific location and it had a picture attached to it, a picture of Fuuka tied up, and she was hurt too. Needless to say, I rushed over. When I got there, he was waiting for me, and that's where the fight started." Minato continued to go over the rest of it, in full detail. He left nothing out. Moments later, he was finally finished.

Mitsuru remained sat in the chair for a few, carefully processing and pondering what all this could mean. Surely there was a larger scale to this encounter, ulterior motives involving a grand scheme. She had a strong sinking suspicion, that Minato wasn't finished with his shadow just yet, concerning, to say the least, but she had faith in Minato, he always seemed to find a way to go above and beyond every time, even in the most dire of situations. Regardless, Mitsuru was still determined to find her own share of answers.

[{ ♕ }] - "I see...I'm relieved that you were able to bring Yamagishi back and that you're still here with us. Regarding the shadow. At first, I thought that this situation was similar to Narukami and his friends with the way they awakened their powers. Yet, you were still able to use your Persona, so we can rule out any potential link to that. Still, it's quite concerning to think that a shadow could be that intelligent. let alone, enough to put together a plan to trap someone." She's quiet for a few moments before standing up from her seat. Before Mitsuru could say anything else, Minato stopped her by speaking.

[{ 🦋}] - "Mitsuru-san, there's one last thing I should tell you. I was going to let her tell you herself, but I wanted to give you a heads-up. It's the reason Fuuka is so down. For whatever reason, Fuuka lost Juno, and she's worried she's going to be removed from the team. I don't know how it happened, but all I know, is that my shadow beat her up pretty bad.. not just physically either..."

The sentence stops Mitsuru in her tracks, a single clicked heel as she stands in place to listen and take in what she has been told. It made sense, so that's why Fuuka looked so distraught. While her not having a Persona was a bit of a big deal, Mitsuru couldn't even dream of letting Fuuka go, she was one of her close friends, and also one of the best handywomen she knew, especially when it came to technology, removing her from the team completely would be absurd.

[{ ♕ }] - "Juno is gone...? That's horrible, and also very strange. I've never heard a case where a Persona disappeared from its user's mind entirely... I fear that your shadow may have somehow been responsible for it. Remove her? Unheard of. I would never remove her from the team. If it came down to it though, I would just put her in another part of the team, one that is good for her natural talent. Anyway, thank you for your report Minato-san. It was very informative, once I speak with Yamagishi, I'll try and see what I can do to help."

After the discussion ended, and on cue, the sound of footsteps, could be heard outside the door, Minato had hoped that at least, she would be able to eat, she needed food after what happened Upon the door opening, Minato gave Fuuka a small smile, while Mitsuru gave a slight one as she took back her card. Now that Minato had explained, she understood that losing Juno wasn't Fuuka's fault, there was just something more to it. Just as Mitsuru had theorized, it was most likely his shadow that was the cause of it. Minato just hoped he would have enough recovery time when the time to face him again.

[{ ♕ }] - "Ah, Yamagishi. I've just finished speaking with him, so if you don't mind, I'd like to talk to you now and get you're account on what happened, please do include as much detail as possible, the more I know, the better I can be of assistance."

Too tired rn to work on the scenario I'm supposed to be so here's persona (3-5) characters as gift givers

P3

Minato: good but the timing is never expected. He'll just see or make something, go "hn, they'd like this" and not wait for a holiday or birthday to hand it over. On the flip side unless he's made promises he's probably forgotten to get gifts ahead of time.

Hamuko: excellent gift giver, and she even gets the timing right. It's never something you'd thought to ask for though. Always something useful or that you really like, but never what you'd think up on your own.

Mitsuru: It's not that she's a bad gift giver- far from it- it's just that she's got a sort of limited idea of the kinds of gifts to give for any specific event. Unless you ask for something specific, you can probably sort every gift she gives into a few categories. Still, whatever she gives is either extremely high quality or super sentimental. Or both.

Akihiko: help him. He's not "the worst gift giver ever" or anything but he never knows what specifically to give someone. Well not never. Occasionally he strikes gold and we love him for the effort either way.

Shinji: I don't want to say bad, but how often do you really expect he'd bother at all? Not a big "gifts" guy. More likely to cook for you if you're close enough for him to bother doing anything at all. He's sweet under everything, but that doesn't make him great at gift giving.

Yukari: decent gift giver. Consistently gives good, appropriate gifts. They may not be "the best gift from x holiday" but you know you'll like anything she got you

Junpei: mixed bag. On one hand he can absolutely figure out great gifts, on the other hand he might get sidetracked and get you something he'd like without realizing. Unless he really likes you, in which case he may take it far more seriously.

Fuuka: she's good at it! As she gets older she gets better at giving gifts. She may even make you little tech things if she can.

Aigis: that super depends on how close you are. If you're not very close you might get, like, a gift card. If you are close she may try to find something specific for you. Whether she succeeds in getting you something good also is kind of a coin toss. She's not awful at it though.

Ken: he tries! He usually even succeeds!

Koromaru: he is a dog. He gives you his time and love, what else could you ever want.

P4

Yu: Great gift giver! He cares so much all the time. Probably the type to go "Oh they would like this" and get something right away to give later, at a more fitting time for gifts.

Yosuke: man he tries is best. He would be the best gift giver we're it not for money. As is he does what he can with what he's got.

Chie: im so sorry to say, middling gift giver. She's perfect at giving gifts to certain people, and awful for others. Hope you'd be on the former side.

Yukiko: so long as she hasn't decided to cook for you? Genuinely good a giving small gifts. Larger gestures are a bit awkward so she's more likely to give you a dozen small gifts than one bigger one.

Kanji: FANTASTIC gift giver. 10/10. He makes all his gifts himself and they're perfect and if you have any complaints you're wrong.

Rise: good! Rise is a pretty solid giver of gifts. Might even give the occasional super great gift if she really likes you.

Naoto: solid gift giver. She rarely if ever disappoints with her choice of present. You will always be happy with something if it's from Naoto.

Teddie: his gifts are sweet, that doesn't necessarily mean they're good. Like when a child gives you a gift and you cherish it, of course, but it's not the best thing you were given objectively. Maybe a little better than that.

Labrys: she's okay at giving gifts, but the lack of experience with others shows in how much she struggles to pick one

P5

Ren: great. Maybe a bit spontaneous with when he actually gives gifts, but great. Always has something for holidays/birthdays, but the best gifts you'll get will be the random ones

Ryuji: actually great too, but he doesn't have the ability to actually get as many gifts. Besides most of his gift giving is to his mom, so any other gifts to other people are second priority.

Ann: also good! You will never be disappointed in a gift she's given you. Her gifts are also probably pretty sentimental, so you know she didn't just pick something at random last minute. Unlikely to randomly give gifts, though.

Yusuke: boys broke so you're not getting anything that isn't homemade. If he does make you something- or let's be real just if he paints you something- it will be incredible. It's just a matter of if he'll actually remembers to

Makoto: she's doing her best. Sometimes her gifts are a little generic or underwhelming, but you know she's trying. She may even strike gold once in a while.

Futaba: oh she's great at it, she probably has your search history to reference- okay but seriously if you have wishlists she also has your wishlist, so you'll get something you wanted

Haru: sometimes her gifts are a little weird but she's not bad necessarily. Just a solid attempt every time.

Akechi: man I don't know. Could he be good at it? Absolutely. Will he actually go out of is way to get you a gift? Ehhh maybe. Depends where he is in his own life.

Morgana: where's the cat getting gifts? He'd be fine if he were able to.

Sumire: good! Just a solid gift giver, I don't have much else to say.

Any fuuka x Shinjiro head canons?

Of course I do! Though I think some of these might have already been said my others but here you go!

Fuuka is an early bird whereas Shinji isn’t. But depending on how Fuuka slept, she will either get up and make breakfast or cuddle with Shinjiro.

Fuuka will do the laundry but Shinji would focus on the stains and will scrub the living hell out of them to come out AND THEN give it to Fuuka.

Shinjiro doesn’t mind hot or cold showers—since his body can’t regulate temperature—and so Fuuka takes hot showers and Shinjiro doesn’t care if he has warm water afterwards.

Fuuka crochets Shinjiro’s beanie—he possibly burned it or got rid of it to rid himself of past events and such—so she makes him one to keep him warm and to make new memories with him. She makes new ones when the previous one is getting worn down. So, at least every year for his birthday.

Shinjiro and Fuuka do date in the p3p timeline, but it takes the P-1 Grand Prix to push Shinjiro into moving in with Fuuka. Shinjiro is just *there* to keep an eye on Fuuka because of Mitsuru and Mitsuru wants Fuuka to keep an eye on Shinjiro since it’s been a year or so since he got out of his coma. At this time, their feelings for each other are mellow and chill (they missed a lot of time to get to know each other, so it feels a little awkward and weird). It isn’t until Fuuka and the others get kidnapped during the p-1 Climax that Shinjiro jumps in with Junpei and the others and goes to save them. It’s like something awoke in him. When he does help Yukari save Fuuka, their love for each other rekindles and it gets ignited again. He doesn’t like seeing his friends injured, especially his lover.

Fuuka is the one who suggests separate blankets for them when they sleep together. Fuuka sleeps with two blankets, both of them thin but thick enough for the thick one Shinjiro sleeps with.

During the p3p timeline, when they do date, they are very sneaky and clever at first. Because they think it’s fun and it excites them. It’ll lead towards Akihiko catching them, and in turn Minako, unexpectedly and he brings it up to Mitsuru. Of course, she’s chill about it because “when have you seen Shinjiro so happy?”

This leads to Shinjiro and Fuuka double-dating within Akihiko and Minako—Minako’s idea allllll the way—and helps everyone loosen up and get more comfortable with one another. Both of them hate this and rather be out of the limelight.

When Shinjiro is in his coma, Fuuka comes every MWF and brings flowers every Friday. She talks to him about her day or week and catches a little nap with him since she’s mentally exhausted from keeping up a happy face in front of everyone. (Do not get me started about how she griefs over his death because it’ll be sad and this is a happy headcanon thread.)

directors cut on uhhhhh Fair Trade?

ooh thank you for the ask! :D

The vague idea for Fair Trade had been stewing in the back of my head for a while, just as a potential alternate ending to the October 4th we see in game, but when the whumptober 2022 prompts dropped and I saw "Take me instead" on the prompt list, suddenly that tiny underdeveloped idea really flung itself to the forefront of my mind, lmao. And then I saw that one of the prompts for Oct 3 (i think) was "gun to temple" and the basic structure of this fic just clicked together in my mind, LMAO.

There were a couple different draft ideas, though, which diverged slightly from the final product. In one scrapped idea, Takaya would trick Shinjiro and end up taking both of them hostage -- Shinjiro for information, Ken as a bargaining chip to keep Shinji from holding out on him. In another, Takaya tried to take both hostage, but SEES showed up and managed to rescue Ken, although Takaya made off with Shinjiro.

I also toyed with different pieces of information that Shinjiro could trade for Ken in this fic. I never intended for him to sell out Fuuka, since he knows it would put her life in serious danger, but I kept trying to come up with other information he could offer that Takaya might want. In the first draft, Shinjiro ended up claiming that Akihiko was the sensor, horrifying Ken, who thinks that Shinjiro doesn't even care about his own friend (though the implication is actually that Shinji trusts Aki and knows that he would rather have Takaya come after him than anyone else in SEES). The implications are still the same with him singling out the Arisatos in this fic, but I decided to have Ken pick up on this somewhat, rather than continuing to think that Shinjiro must have some ill intent. I do think that Ken is smart and quick on the uptake, after all -- he's not entirely blinded by his bias against Shinjiro. Just... mostly blinded. An understandable amount of blinded.

(Sidenote: I was going back and forth on which protagonist I wanted to feature in this story as well, since I usually don't include both Arisatos in a story unless it's specifically an Arisato twin AU. In the end, though, I realized that it didn't really matter, and I liked the final scene with SEES reacting to the news much better with both of them there, so I put them both in.)

Also, Takaya was 100% correct to doubt Shinjiro's word in this fic, lmao. On top of the obvious (Shinji lied to him about Ken being weak, not knowing Fuuka's identity, about the others not caring if he went missing, and about the Arisato twins being able to sense Shadows), Shinjiro was definitely just saying whatever he thought would get Takaya to let go of Ken. If Takaya hadn't shot him, he would have 100% tried to just grab Ken and run away. His willingness to potentially die for Ken was obviously part of his motivations, but most of the things Shinjiro says in this fic are purely motivated by panic and a desire to Get That Gun Away From Ken's Head ASAP.

Say what you will about Takaya, but he knows his audience.

As for a more general note about the fic: I somewhat struggled to characterize Ken here, although I stand by the results. I think my favorite thing about Ken is how he's genuinely precocious, but the game doesn't (often) let you forget that he really is only ten years old, so I wanted that to shine through here. He's brave and typically calm, but he's still a ten year old being held at gunpoint. He's intelligent and mature, but he's still too angry and grief-stricken to get it through his head that Shinji obviously isn't the cold-hearted killer he expected. It's a bit of a hard balance for me to maintain, but it makes writing Ken a very fun kind of challenge.

Takaya is another interesting character to write, although his motivations are a bit simpler to understand. I'm never sure how much it actually comes across in my portrayal of him, but I interpret him as genuinely liking Shinjiro, for example--even if only in a "look at this odd creature" sort of way--and having some sense of fondness for Chidori, although he still wouldn't hesitate for a second to shoot either one dead. I also think that a part of him genuinely wants SEES to stick around, seeing them as some kind of Chosen Rivals to him, which is why I think his plans to stop them are so convoluted and indirect in the games. It's kind of like a game to him, in a way. There are many ways to interpret Takaya's overall motivations in this game, and honestly I love seeing all the varying versions of him in different fics.

One last thing, which I briefly mentioned in the author's note of this fic: there is a sequel in the works, though I knew from the beginning that, if I wrote a sequel, I would want to change perspectives. I can't say when that sequel will come out, since I have a zine piece and several other projects to work on right now, but I did end up going with a Shinjiro perspective to follow Ken's. I feel that Ken's perspective worked in Fair Trade because he was missing just a few crucial pieces of information, which he was able to piece together by the end, so I wanted to maintain that dramatic irony somewhat by switching POVs to Shinjiro (who is now unaware that help is on the way, putting him in a similar position to Ken's, narratively). Hopefully it'll be a worthy follow-up, because I'm genuinely pretty proud of Fair Trade, and I wouldn't want the sequel to be lackluster. :)

thanks again for the ask!!! this was a ton of fun <3

@tacitusauxilium || Thread Continuation From Here🦋

“Minato…” Fuuka looked up at Minato, her hand on his shoulder, and sniffed her nose once more. “…please don’t do stuff like that for me again. …or, at least not for a long time. I…” She still felt exhausted from losing Juno–or perhaps it was the depression creeping up behind her and gripping her heart and soul. “…just get better first, and then we will talk about the future.”

reHearing a knock on the door, Fuuka carefully climbed out of the bed, not wanting to get scolded, but still held onto his hand tenderly as she could see Mitsuru’s head popping into the room. She felt her heart sinking as she knew THIS would have happened eventually. “Good afternoon, Mitsuru…” She murmured as she was about to get up, but Mitsuru spoke to Fuuka, stirring her out of her stupor, and she grabbed it gently and put it in her pocket. “…thank you.” Carefully, Fuuka eyed Minato softly, worried that he might get his butt chewed out, but she smiled softly at him and began to leave the room, really hoping that she could keep something in her stomach, not knowing what the future may hold.

“If you don’t mind, I would like to talk to Arisato first, and then you. Go get some food–you look like you need food.” She stated softly, as Fuuka eyed Minato, gripping his hand tightly, and nodded slowly.

“O-of course…” She coughed softly and removed her hand from his, giving him a small smile. “I’ll be back. I promise.” Fuuka got up from her spot, reached for her wallet, and then realized that she didn’t have any money on her at all. Mitsuru noticed Fuuka looked a bit confused and then handed her a credit card. “Use my card–I don’t mind,” Mitsuru spoke to Fuuka, stirring her out of her stupor, and she grabbed it gently and put it in her pocket. “…thank you.” Carefully, Fuuka eyed Minato softly, worried that he might get his butt chewed out, but she smiled softly at him and began to leave the room, really hoping that she could keep something in her stomach, not knowing what the future may hold for them, especially her.

Fuuka may not have realized it, but Minato did right away, that whole situation took a huge toll on her, and while she did get some minor injuries in the process, it was the mental toll that it took on her that was hurting her far more than his injuries could. Whenever something bad happens to him involving her, Fuuka was always so quick to blame herself, even when it wasn't her fault, to begin with, how could she be blamed for being tricked into luring Minato over to his shadow self?

Minato's shadow took his form, no one would have expected his shadow to appear. Regardless, he didn't care that it was a trap, there was no way in hell he was going to let anything major happen to her, even if it had nearly cost him his life, it didn't matter, he would save her over and over again if it meant he could keep waking up next to her every day, he would do anything to keep it that way.

Fuuka was special to him, there was no sunshine in his life without her. For so long he wanted to fix things between the two of them, and make up for that time when he got absorbed in the fame that the success of his show had first gained popularity those several months ago. He was blessed to have been given a second chance by Fuuka, and it paid off, the two both of them, had never been stronger.

Life was beginning to become dull, even fame and fortune couldn't bring him true happiness, and he learned that through his reunion with Fuuka, and how much happier he was being with her compared to when he was still alone, lost in his popularity before he finally matured into realizing the truth about fame, that it wasn't as great as everyone thought it was.

Going places, it was hard to be seen as another member of society, always making him out to be some all-out celebrity, when in truth, he never considered himself a celebrity, just someone who had been fortunate enough to be given an opportunity to pursue a professional career in something that he truly had a passion for. Minato loved his job, but his love for Fuuka was far much stronger.

So when she got up to lay on the bed with him, Minato didn't hesitate to slowly shift a bit to the opposite side, allowing her more space to put her body fully on the bed, carefully adjusting as she gently rested her head on his shoulder, reaching up to slowly rest a hand on her back, listening as she confided his worries to him, and her concerns were definitely understandable, who would have thought Fuuka would lose the ability to use her Persona, it didn't make sense, for what reason did it happen? The worry was clear in her expression, he could see it in her deep blue eyes, and honestly, Minato couldn't help but be evenly concerned.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Hey, easy Fuuka, I know you're scared to tell her everything, but she needs to know, you don't need to be so worried, I don't think Mitsuru will be mad at you, because you didn't do anything wrong. If anything, my guess is that she'll want to know more details about my shadow, which means she's probably going to talk to me first since I'm awake."

Mitsuru was the head of the Shadow Operatives, but at the same time, she was still a close mutual friend of the couple's, just like everyone else in the reserve unit, and while Mitsuru was serious when it came down to talking business because she knew them on such a personal level, he had a hard time believing that she would be angry at Fuuka for something that was just out of their hands, as for what happened to Juno, that was something that neither of them could have seen coming, and he was pretty sure the older woman would feel the same.

The index fingers of his free hand continued to gently brush her hair, while the hand on her back caressed her gently, rubbing softly with his thumb as she expressed her thoughts on his near-death experience in lieu of saving her life.

[{ 🦋 }] - "No promises, I did what I did because I love you Fuuka, and I'd do it a million times over if it means I can keep you here with me."

Leaning his head slightly a bit forward, Minato plants a soft kiss on her forehead before shifting back to look at her.

[{ 🦋 }} - "But we are definitely talking about the future once this is all sorted out because, after all of this, you and I, are taking a vacation, I think we'll need it." He adds, giving her a warm smile.

All the access stress was really getting to her now, and at that moment, Minato wanted to do nothing more than give her all the answers to provide her with the sense of relief that she clearly was in desperate need of. Yet, he couldn't, he didn't know why either, who really would know? He hated the fact that was unable to ease all her worries. Only time would tell what happened next, he only hoped he could recover quick enough for whatever it was, hopefully, they would get the answers they needed soon.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and immediately, Minato knew who it was, Mitsuru, and low and behold, in she walked the moment Fuuka got off the bed to open the door, the redhead's booted heels clicked on the floor as she made her way towards them before stopping in place, looking their way the moment she stops in place, Minato felt Fuuka's hand tighten her grip on his, just slightly, he could tell she was on edge, so his thumb rubbed the back of her hand gently for added comfort as the redhead began to speak, this time shifting her focus to Fuuka, suggesting she eat, which was probably a good idea, with how exhausted and stressed she was, he doubted that Fuuka even ate, he appreciated Mitsuru for thinking of Fuuka's well being, proof that she wasn't mad with her in Minato's eyes, especially when she let her horror her card.

Watching the tealnette let go of his hand and move towards the door, his gaze followed her as she stopped to look back at him, giving her a smile and nod in return.

[{ 🦋 }] - "I know you will. Go grab some food, I'll be waiting right here for you."

Grey eyes watched his lover leave the room and close the door behind her, with Fuuka out of the room and getting herself a much-needed meal, Minato shifted his focus towards Mitsuru, preparing to give her all the information she needed.

[{ 🦋 }] - "Hey Mitsuru-San, you probably have a lot of questions, so then, where should I begin?"
