#p3r the answer spoilers

A random thought, but I hope no one is annoyed by the fact that this blog has been running on a queue lately because I'm either too lazy or tired to write or post something or my mind is on my main blog/gaming.

Joker still exists in my mind, I promise. But we don't talk about his appearance in the Answer. I do not perceive it. I ignore it.

I need emotional compensation from Atlus right now like RIGHT NOW!! PLEASE STOP TEARING MY HEART OUT AND RIPPING IT INTO PIECES!!!

STOP GIVING THIS GIRL SO MUCH PAIN!! STOP MAKING HER DEPRESSED!! STOP SHOWING HER HOW MUCH SHE FAILED!!

[fatexbound]

So anyway, I started crying internally because um, Makoto smiling so peacefully because he found HIS answer and is at peace is killing me (not to mention that this is HIS evoker). In my headcanon(s), he also gifts Aigis his beloved MP3 and headphones as well as a recording of his heart beating before he passes on.

I am half asleep. In pain. Watched it as soon as I woke up. Life is pain.

"SURPRISE, BITCHES!!!"

[fatexbound]

She was still living in the past. It's clear that it was haunting her day and night, and he was here to make it worse. The air around him was cool, showing how angry he was with her.

"How pathetic."

He spat, venom lacing his words with I'll intent. Feet tapped on the floor as they headed towards the terrified android. Her eyes were on the floor, as if she were about to burst into tears.

A delight to see.

"You think that waiting around and crying will do something to bring me back? To turn back time? That's not possible and you know it."

He chuckled darkly.

"Like Ryoji said, time waits for no one. My time on this earth has ended. There's nothing you can do about it except die if you're so desperate to see me again... Do you think you have the courage to do that? Aren't you tired of it all?" He tilted his head.

The sight awakens something inside her again, unnamed feelings and questions swirling unspoken as she takes an almost defensive stance. Aigis doesn't get a chance to greet or ask anything of him, though, as his own question catches her off guard. Her promise. The turmoil in her core gives way to sheer guilt, swallowing her like a pool of water.

Makoto was angry. Of course he was, he should be with all things considered. But that form before her... Such anger didn't belong to that voice. He'd never used such a tone with her either, and it shook Aigis deeply. "I..."

"There was nothing more I could do. I wanted to help you, then you..." She casts her eyes down in shame. 'Fotgotten'? What use were her previous words, when there was nothing left to protect? So little left to live for? Surely he understood, he always understood before. "I was too late... It...hurts. It would be better if everything was the way it was before this year. So... What else am I supposed to do?!" Her honest outburst seems to echo in her ears as she never found the answer to such a question, unwilling to ask it until now. Even if Makoto was angry with her, he always had the answers.

I went a little crazy

[fatalwhims]

maybe it's my shinji glasses, but i couldn't help thinking back to his linked episodes at the end of the game when you realize that makoto was able to stay alive for a whole month out of sheer will because he wanted to fulfill his promise to meet up on graduation day with his friends. i like to think that he remembered shinji's words here and his whole SL with shinji that was based around how important the promise made by shinji meant to aki + mitsuru.

Yukari apologizing to Mitsuru because she feels like she pressured her to take her side is so sweet.

Honey she took your side because she was worried for you and promised to fight with you until the end.

And she’s in love with you but that’s beside the point.

[sillyfudgemonkeys]

What we shoulda got instead

[werewolf-cuddles]

The Answer spoilers

ok, I straight up forgot Yukari was a healer until she healed Mitsuru back up to full health after I'd dealt a decent amount of damage to her

so I guess for the rest of the fight, I am going to relentlessly focus Yukari until she goes down

[epitomees]

AND AND AND AND

AND THE CONTRAST BETWEEN AIGIS’ EYES LOOKING MORE ROBOTIC IN THE FULL MOON OPENING!!

AND NOW THEY LOOK SO HUMAN AND SO SAD AND SO NATURAL IN THE ANSWER OPENING!!!

[fatexbound]

Anon said: So members of SEES, how hard was it emotionally to face the entity down in the Abyss of Time? I'd imagine you all had many thoughts.

"I was... terrified seeing him again, but knowing it came from our regrets made me think hard. About how selfish I've been... and then I went and made it worse for everyone. For Aigis, too. I was so stupid..."

"To think we went so far only to be encountered by our old leader in that form... it sent a chill down my spine. I never expected that it could use our own Personas against us, however, we managed to defeat it in time." Only to be even more traumatized by the next scene that was made just for them, seeing him disintegrate like that.

"Yeah, I also had a lot of questions. What the hell was going on, I had no clue. I knew we had to fight it, so we did just that only to get those special keys to the past and present. It's as if someone was watching us. Tsk, I'm glad it's over now. I don't want to even think about it."

△ Do you regret the sacrifice you made?

"No." There was a brief pause. "I guess I regret some things about it. But... It really doesn't matter..."

Decaying Godhood- Chapter 2: Solemn Freedom

<- Chapter 1 ● Chapter 3 ->

“Nothing is moving…”

Nyx sat quietly on the ground, watching the three look out the giant golden door. Occasionally one of them would look back at her. It made her feel something unpleasant, she wasn’t entirely sure what it was though.

“No one is collapsing, either…” Minako said, “it’s like they’re frozen in time.”

“Do you think it’s just the view we have from here?” Minato asked.

“No,” Ryoji answered, “something doesn’t feel right… at all.”

Minako glanced back at Nyx, “do things feel off to you?”

She nodded.

“Well… what do we do?” Minako moved her attention to the other two.

“Wait.” Ryoji pointed out of the door, “something’s moving.”

The twins looked carefully.

“It looks like a person…” Minato said.

“No way,” Minako gently pulled the hair away from his eyes, “look again, no human has hair that white.”

“Akihiko-senpai had white hair, though.”

Minako shook her head, “but not that bright!”

Ryoji cleared his throat, “how about the feathers? Humans don’t have wings.”

“Are they wings? It looks more like a cape.” Minako let go of Minato’s hair, “check out all that gold too…”

“Either this guy is just really rich, or not human.” Minato said flatly, turning away.

“And those are mutually exclusive?” Ryoji moved away from the door. “They could be both.”

“I suppose so.”

“Guys.” Nyx flinched when all three quickly looked at her, “they’re moving, right? Does it matter what they look like?”

Ryoji sighed, “no, you’re right.” He faced the twins, “what should we do?”

“I don’t know, but…” Minako gestured out the door, “there’s someone else there now.”

Ryoji and Minato quickly looked out again.

“I’m going to investigate.” Ryoji said suddenly, “you two stay here… whatever is happening seems to only be affecting humans.”

“Wait, how do we know it’s safe?” Minako questioned, folding her arms.

“I can’t die, remember?”

“Yes but-“

“Ryoji!”

The three slowly looked at Nyx. She bit her tongue, “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to shout… it’s just.” She stood up, “have you felt anyone die?”

Ryoji narrowed his eyes, “what are you saying?”

“You’re Death,” she said, “you should be able to tell if people are leaving this world.”

Ryoji paused. Nyx could tell he didn’t want to take her words, but he pondered anyway.

“No one is dying.”

“There you have it,” Nyx said, “the world is at a standstill.“

Minato glanced at Ryoji.

“…You’re coming with me.” Ryoji slashed the chains off of Nyx’s wrists and neck, “I don’t trust you to stay with them.”

“That’s fair…” Nyx nodded, holding her wrist.

Minato placed a hand on Ryoji’s shoulder, “may I speak with you first?”

Nyx watched them wander off. Minako approached her, grabbing her hands.

“Listen, I know… he has every right to be mad at you, but…” Minako picked up her evoker, placing it in Nyx’s hands, “I hope you’ll protect him. Even if he doesn’t want you to.”

Nyx felt her eyes begin to water.

Minako smiled, “I don’t know if I can stay mad at you… it wasn’t really your fault, was it?”

“You don’t have to make excuses for me.”

“I know, but it wasn’t you, was it?”

Nyx could feel her heart sting. Minako was right, but she felt as though she couldn’t admit it.

“Does it matter?” Nyx asked, “I still tried to do it.”

“Nyx, you weren’t even a person, then,” Minako patted her shoulder, “you were… an idea, a force of nature. Of course you didn’t know the harm it would bring.” She held her hand, “I… know about Erebus. I’m sure reflecting on all of that now must…” Minako shook her head. “I’m putting my trust in you. Now is your chance to become a great individual.”

Now she couldn’t see. Tears flooded from her eyes, dropping onto her hands below.

“I know gods probably can’t get Personas, but… I want you to take that evoker with you.” Minako attempted to wipe away the tears with her stone fingers, “ah sorry! That probably isn’t very comforting.”

Nyx laughed slightly, “thank you, Minako.”

“Damn, you made her cry?”

Nyx could barely make out Minato’s form before her.

“I didn’t mean to…” Minako said.

Nyx wiped her eyes, looking at Ryoji. His gaze still held disdain, but had softened slightly.

“Oh that’s a good idea!” Minako noted Ryoji wearing a SEES armband. She removed her own, the bright red colour returning as she wrapped it around Nyx’s arm. “Now you guys gotta go be the heroes, okay?”

Nyx smiled softly, bowing to her, “I won’t let you down.”

“Ryoji,” Minato said, “are you gonna give it to her?”

Ryoji sighed, “if you act out I’m taking this back,” he held out the sword he had used while he was Nyx Avatar.

Nyx carefully took it, “thank you, Ryoji.”

Ryoji nodded, facing Minato again, “we’ll be back.”

Minato smiled softly, “and we’ll be watching over you two.”
