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.

Um.

[Pause.]

Oh, right. Other people told me it was supernatural and I wasn't the only one. So I guess you're right.

[Though Asem wouldn't say it that way...]

[second_destiny]

Asem Asuno. Likewise.

[She nods over the video.]

If we investigate where the monster came from, we can probably find the source of the mental effect and the scorpions, too.

[second_destiny]

Do you know if anybody knows that? Where the monster came from, I mean.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

I haven't heard anything. We can ask the people who fought it, or maybe one of the Government Persona-users.

[second_destiny]

Do you know who fought it? I could ask around on duty, so that's no problem.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

It's not on record anywhere, but I think Ms. Misery and Atsuro Kihara were involved. At the very least, they're starting detailed research into the Zodiac phenomenon.

[second_destiny]

Oh hey, I already know Atsuro. That should make things easier.

[all_wound_up]

Cooking and cleaning, mostly. And doing laundry.

[second_destiny]

Then there you go. Every effort like this needs someone to cook and clean. I mean, we need food to survive, right? And if the food's good, then so's morale.

[otakuro]

Got it. Thanks. ...Yeah, you're in pretty good company.

...Seriously, though, it's not like you were afraid when you were fighting your first demon. I don't think anyone can blame you.

[second_destiny]

Maybe not. If someone out there does, they haven't said anything to me.

[otakuro]

So no one does. And if they do, it's really their problem.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

He seems to have an even better handle on the technology here than I do, so he should be very good at the technical side of the research.

If you talk to him, I can try to talk to Ms. Misery. She's...a little more old-fashioned, I think.

[second_destiny]

Okay. That sounds like a good plan to me.

[all_wound_up]

I wonder if my cooking is really that good, to feed a whole city full of people.

[second_destiny]

...That's a good point.

Oh, then get a bunch of people to put their heads together! If we have, say, a dozen people, we can feed at least the non-residents here.

[all_wound_up]

I've never cooked with other people before. It sounds like it could be fun.

[second_destiny]

Then go suggest it! I'm sure there'll be people who are interested.

[all_wound_up]

I think I will.

[greatseal]

[Ah...]

So you've met her already? She's talking about the same thing.

Re: [voice]

[second_destiny]

She is, huh? I didn't realize that any of her friends from home were here.

[voice]

[greatseal]

There's actually a lot of people from my world... Relatively speaking. [And if you count all the timelines as one 'world.']

Re: [voice]

[second_destiny]

What do you mean, "relatively speaking?"

[voice]

[greatseal]

Well, most people I've talked to don't have any of their friends here, or only one or two.
