Comments

[pishirogane]

[If she'd rather speak to Ren over some curry, Naoto wouldn't object... Futaba already did that.]

Yes. I'll probably linger for a while so I'll do what I can.

[It wouldn't matter ultimately even if there was an ulterior. It wasn't like Futaba was someone to be too suspicious about.]

... Hm? Oh... your memory. [Though Naoto considered for a moment, she shook her head.] Later perhaps... Honestly, I've noticed you've been cautious around me. Unless that improves, I'm in no position to ask.

[promiselisting]

[ Ah. Yeah. That. Futaba at least has that much self-awareness. ]

...It's not your fault.

[ Not that she's ready to start spilling either about the memory or the true source of her discomfort, but.... It feels especially important to say that. That whether she would or wouldn't have otherwise, Naoto shouldn't blame herself. ]

[pishirogane]

It's fine. You have your reasons, and maybe one day, I'll know.

[She shrugs, turning her attention back fully.]

You should go rest in the medical bay for now. I'm going to see about the others who might still be outside.

[promiselisting]

[ Futaba doesn't say that some of them might very well come up when all of them talk together. Instead she just nods, and hesitates for a moment before adding... ]

Thanks.

[ Getting up is a chore but she'll end up doing... pretty much exactly what Naoto suggests, passing out almost as soon as she collapses onto a bed in the infirmary.

That being said, if Naoto checks her tablet later, she'll find a message in her personal inbox from Futaba with the following information. ]

• Ryuji Sakamoto - 2nd year. Bleached hair, brown eyes, pretty good at running, really loud, perpetual foot in mouth syndrome
  
• Ann Takamaki - 2nd year, blond hair, usually in pigtails, blue eyes, pretty tall, really cares about people a lot
  
• Yusuke Kitagawa - 2nd year, blue hair, gray eyes, tallest of all us. He's an art student so he can get focused on weird things and seem kind eccentric and dramatic but he's cool. Don't let him near your figurines though
  
• Haru Okumura - 3rd year, really curly brown-orange hair (lighter than mine), brown eyes, really really nice. Kinda fancy. Really likes gardening.
  
• Morgana - looks like black and white cat with a yellow bandanna. Depending how weird this place decides to be you'll probably know him when you see him. Since you have a Persona you'll probably be able to hear him, though this place might be weird about that too. Don't call him a cat though unless you're just bored and wanna annoy him.
  
• Goro Akechi - Brown hair, brown eyes. 3rd year. Everybody calls him "The Next Detective Prince." Can act very nice and polite but also's a bit pretentious honestly. Be careful.

[ Some of that commentary was very deliberately chosen: guess who finally remembered where she's heard Naoto's name before. That being said, there's one more name on the list. ]

• Sojiro Sakura - Middle aged, black hair and a goatee. Wears glasses. He wears pink shirts usually. Probably smells like coffee and curry. If you see him tell him Ren and I are here and that we're okay and where to find us. Dunno if I've said it before but I'm at house B-14.

Ryuji, Ann, and Haru are Shujin students, same as Ren and Makoto, so they'll probably have these plaid pants or skirts. You've probably seen em. Yusuke goes to Kosei so his uniform'd be different. Akechi goes to some fancy school I don't know the name of. Though I guess none of this'll really matter if they don't come in uniforms.

Let me know if you need anything else. If you think you found someone but aren't sure just send a pic and I'll confirm/deny.

[pishirogane]

You're welcome.

[Letting Futaba leave, she occupied herself helping rescue others from the Dream Width. Later, when she checked her messages, she considered the names - two in particular with one being this Goro Akechi and another being Sojiro Sakura. The former sounded like someone she would need to speak to, possibly with Kanji, while the other was from the memory. It made sense...]

[Eventually, Futaba would receive a similar message in kind.]

• Yosuke Hanamura - 3rd Year. Dyed brown hair and light brown eyes. Similar to your friend Ryuji, has a tendency to speak before he thinks, but he isn't so loud.


• Chie Satonaka - 3rd Year. Dyed light brown hair and darker brown eyes. Athletic and can be hot-headed. Can easily get her attention by mentioning martial arts.


• Yukiko Amagi - Long black hair and very dark brown eyes. Often quiet and reserved, can be insightful, but responses to bad jokes in particular.


• Rise Kujikawa - 2nd Year. Copper brown hair often in pigtails and brown eyes as well. She can be eccentric and teasing, but is kind overall. You might recognize her by her idol name 'Risette'.


• Teddie - Shaped often like a bear - almost looks like a mascot; primarily blue, red, and white in coloration. However, he can also appear as a boy with swept blonde hair and blue eyes. Very excitable; if you see him, don't lose track of him. He might get himself in trouble.


• (ERROR) - 3rd Year. Gray hair, bowl-cut style, and gray eyes. He doesn't say much, but he tends to be very patient and understanding. However, he does have... unpredictable moments. He's the leader of our group.

[Naoto's just being honest about her commentary. And since Futaba included Sojiro, she might as well...]

• Nanako Dojima - Senpai's young cousin. Light brown hair and similarly brown eyes. She's only seven so she'll be on the small side, but she's very mature for her age. If she were to appear here, she'll be scared. Tell her not to worry and that Kanji-kun and I are here if Senpai or Dojima-san hasn't arrived already.


• Ryotaro Dojima - Senpai's uncle and Nanako-chan's father. Dark graying hair, gray eyes, and stubble around his chin. Older adult; should be easy enough to spot. He'll be wary if you approach him, but like with Nanako-chan, just tell him either myself or Kanji-kun are here and he should listen. Note: He's aware of Personas, but doesn't entirely understand. He can be trusted.

Everyone attends Yasogami High save for Senpai since he was only temporarily attending. You may remember the uniforms from Kanji-kun's memories that you and I were wearing - those uniforms. Nanako-chan doesn't have a school uniform, but prefers to wear a pink dress and Dojima-san will likely be in his detective uniform. He doesn't wear his jacket and his red tie is often lop-sided.

[She sends this without realized that Senpai's name doesn't go through. Thanks Mognet...]

[promiselisting]

[ ... Looking this over she also honestly has to wonder if there's a pattern for leaders of these sort of groups. Again, two datapoints isn't a trend, but still. ]

Just so you know, one of your names didn't go through.

Also, you can trust Sojiro too. He doesn't entirely know about the Persona thing, but he knows about the cognitive world and the Metaverse, and that Ren and I have been doing stuff there. He worked with my mom while she was studying cognitive psience too before she died, so he probably knows at least some of her research.

...we'll probably talk about it more when we meet up.

Probably goes without saying, but be careful with anyone else though, especially if they're from Ren's and Makoto's and my timeframe.

[ Given all the enemies that they've made... Even if you left out their activities as Phantom Thieves and the people who might take issue with that, there was still the fact that they were chasing the people who'd killed her mom. Who were powerful enough to take over the entire investigation and manipulate the results.

She actually does trust Naoto more than she probably lets on. ]

[pishirogane]

Strange. There were no errors on this end.

[She wondered where the issue came up?]

I'll keep that in mind. And yes, there's much to discuss whenever we make this meeting a reality. Should I encounter others from your group, I'll take each approach in stride.

[While Futaba and her might be... friends in the loose definition right now, Naoto isn't acquainted with any of these others she does know. For her, always best to err to the side of caution.]
