Hey. I need to apologize. When we were under attack, I was too scared to do anything. All I wanted to do was hole myself up in my apartment.

I should be better than that. I'm a pilot. Fear shouldn't stop me from doing what I need to do. And to make matters worse, I took a job with the police. I could have put people in danger by not doing my job.

I understand if you don't want to trust me. All I'll say is that it won't happen twice. Not if I can help it.

You really think so? It sounds like she needs the protection just to make sure she doesn't get reckless.

[fracta_anima]

[She doesn't blame him.]

That's why I didn't mention it. A month ago I didn't realize practically everyone here really did have a persona. Me and some of my friends from school were on a team that fought these kinds of things during the Dark Hour--here, it's the 13th Hour. So this is kind of old hat for me.

[Not really "old hat" but she can understand why she and her friends would be among those brought here.]

[second_destiny]

Whoa, that's a huge advantage for you. I spoke to one other guy who knew all about Personas already, too, though that was a while ago.

[sky_child]

Maybe. It all started at the same time.

[second_destiny]

Yeah, I'd say it's most likely. That's not exactly something that builds confidence.

The same thing happened to me. I don't think anyone will blame you.

Tell me about it... She's the kind of person that can logically go, "I better stay inside!" but the second she sees someone in trouble she's running out the door...

[ He may not have been in an official position to protect people, but knowing he could have helped in even a small way made Taiyou feel just as guilty as Asem. This video... sounded a lot like himself. Ba-dum-tsh. So, Taiyou feels it's only right to express it, in a gesture of reassurance. ]

Don't worry, I trust you. I'll do my best, too!

[second_destiny]

You too, huh? You shouldn't have had to go through that.

[second_destiny]

I know what you mean. I used to be the same way. Caused plenty of trouble for my squadmates.

[Cue awkward smile and scratching his cheek.]

[second_destiny]

Thanks. That's great to hear from someone.

[glassworkgenius]

[ He tilts his head slightly, though. ]

But aren't you kind of young to be in the police force, mister? Or a pilot for that matter...

[Oh right.]

You did more than that, Asem.

Or...you tried to, anyway. Besides, I don't think the fear people were feeling then was natural. As far as I can tell 10-20% of the whole city had some kind of anxiety reaction to the event.

[all_wound_up]

No one should have to.

[second_destiny]

What do you mean? I'm nineteen.

[second_destiny]

Yeah. Once. Kind of a token effort.

That's what I'm hearing. They think the monster that appeared was responsible.

[second_destiny]

No, they shouldn't. It's good that people took out that monster, especially if it was causing this.

[all_wound_up]

I wonder if more of them will keep attacking.

[second_destiny]

I hope not. But if they do, I'll be waiting for them. I'm not going to let the exact same thing happen twice.

[all_wound_up]

That's very brave of you.

[destinedwaters]

Mm... I could say the same, too. [She pauses, before continuing.] I was the same way. Only a few people found themselves magically flung out a window...

[orz]

1/2

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

Well, I appreciated it.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

And I guess if destroying the monster fixed the problem, it stands to reason, but that's a big assumption...

[otakuro]

Since you've gotten the flood of 'don't worry about it's - and it's true, listen to them - I'm gonna go ahead and ask.

What's your sign?

That's........ not a pick-up line, really.

[glassworkgenius]

Yeah, isn't that... college age? But you're working already. That's pretty cool.
