[Video ♓ Intro]

[Welp, since everyone else has been introducing themselves, why the hell not?]

My name is Narukami Yu. I was residing in Inaba, Japan before being brought here. I've been assigned to the Libra district, apartment 5-10.

[There's a pause...]

Some of you have met me already.

[...hey, just because everyone else was doing introductions, didn't mean Yu's would be very long.]

[[Video ♓ Private to Kanji and Yosuke]]

[Yu's a lot less awkward when addressing his friends, of course.]

Yosuke, Kanji; where have you guys been assigned? Do you know if any of the rest of the team has arrived here?

[[Text ♓ Private to the Gas Station Attendant]]

[Yu's been putting this off for awhile, but considering that both Kanji and Yosuke have responded the same way to a certain grey-haired woman, he has to address this. Now.]

Can we talk? Privately?

DON'T SHOW THEM TO HER.

OR ELSE. I mean it, senpai!

I doubt it. It seems like quite a number of people were placed here.

[Okay, he's had his fun. There's the smile, just for you.]

[Totally doing a ROFLcopter in his head though.]

Oh... I see.

[> ...you feel it's best to avoid Jun and her persona...]

Yeah, I have a friend that lives in Pisces, so I think most people live either there or here in Libra. Haven't gotten a chance to look around everywhere though.

[She can sense your... weirded outness.]

What? It's not like you have anything to worry about, relax.

Nothing. Just had a bad experience with succubi...

Maybe. Some of the other districts don't really seem... livable.

[Like, oh... TAURUS.]

Feel like sharing?

[It'd be hilarious if it ended in an emotional scar. No offense.]

No.

[Immediate response is so immediate, it could make heads spin.]

Did you get vi~o~lated~?

[She's be a little jelous not even gonna lie.]

...

[HANG UP.]

...

[sighs. X sees how it is.]

I understand. I make you uncomfortable. I apologize. I won't bother you, Mister Narukami.

[asdlkfja;sdkfj NOOOOOO don't go away cool robot guy!]

No, you're not. I just...

...

...really like science fiction things.

...

Oh.

Oh.

I see... that's very different, then! I apologize! Pardon me, I've... never really gotten this reaction before...

[Dear god this was so embarrassing. Please don't tell anyone, X; his pride as a protagonist can't take another massive blow.]

I try not to overreact.

[...like he overreacts to everything else. Right.]

[Are you absolutely positive about that, chosen? Because she got some pictures from undisclosed sources and she has to say... you did not do too bad of a job. :> She is proud of you boys, even if most of your team flipped tables mentally upon realizing she was indeed present as well.

Also, she has no idea why Yu would turn away now. After all, his other self had done so. She wonders if he'll take her word at face value, or if he would discard it just like her brother had... like he had when they will speak back home.]

It was the day before you were to return to Tokyo, if I overheard correctly... [Which she had.] I saw you saying farewell to your many friends earlier in the day before it began to rain. Odd, considering that earlier on the sun was high in the sky...

[It had been enough to reveal her without otherwise consenting to appearing and welcoming them.]

Though you are not as interested in the circumstance as to the why, correct?

[Begin asking your questions, child...]

[Really, he had no reason not to believe her; if she was truly malevolent, he didn't doubt she would have attacked already while they were distracted at the night club. Besides, even though the day had not come yet -- they had just beaten Adachi after all; the thought that someone else could have been responsible hadn't even entered his head -- it sounded about right.]

[He nodded in agreement to her question, though really "why" was exactly the only question on his mind at the moment.]

Why did you do all of that? The Midnight Channel, the fog... what did you want to see that something that elaborate was necessary?

[Yet. No reason not to believe her yet. After all, while she did not outright attack? Neither had she assisted in any way aside from encouraging others to continue on in the face of the threat that came soon after their arrival.

Her smile seems to be a little more truthful this time around.]

It was all for humanity's sake... [There's the short answer. Though she knew them; it would not be enough to satisfy him beyond 'how could that be?' after all.]

Humans ache to expose their suppressed sides, while the curious eyes around them are curious to see them laid bare... thus, I merely granted a window that catered to both. It was always your individual wills that would determine who would appear on it.

As for the fog, it is quite simple... [She floats a little closer to the ground.] Humans see only what they want to see, and believe only what they wish. This "Midnight Channel" you speak of is merely a reflection of the human heart, a device that draws them to the hollow forest on the other side... and they had already obscured their hearts and minds from the truth. Hmhm... Did you not wonder why when it cleared, the Shadows would attack those who wandered in?

[Though at the last part, she pauses. What had she wanted?]

It is the same as my aspect, Ameno-sagiri said... humanity's desires are my desires. It was all for yours and humanity's sake, to grant them the world they so wished.

Would your friends have faced themselves were it not for the push your fellow representatives provided?

[Yu let out a faint sound at that, not... sure what he wanted to say. He wanted to say it was ridiculous; everything she had done was for humanity's sake? That she just wanted people to see themselves laid out in the open? He remembered everyone's shadows clearly, from Yosuke's relatively tame one, to Naoto's horrible one, and how close they had come to dying on way more than one occasion. How was that a good thing?!]

[...but then, would they had ever grown if this had not happened?]

[...dammit.]

...probably not.

[That was the more unbelievable part, but she was indeed being sincere. Patient as ever, she awaits his answer. When it's given, the blood stains slowly begin to vanish as her appearance begins to change once more - back to how it had been the other night, save her eyes.]

I had seen your potential when we first met, Narukami-kun... There was no doubt that you would be able to brave the hollow forest. You even exceed what I thought humanity to be capable of... Hmhm... perhaps that is why he chose you?

[She knows. And was that faith from a goddess?]

[...was that a round about way of saying she was proud of him for the work they did? He wasn't exactly sure how to take that, although he could feel the faith she had in him...]

[...wait, what the hell? No, no no; he barely knew her, no matter how his persona was quietly standing sentinel in his mind, as if giving her a wary gaze, but he could feel the pain of longing there too. There was no way he was establishing a Social Link with her that quickly. N O.]

I haven't... exceeded anything yet. There will still be a time where I have to face you in my future.

[Shrug.] Yeah but there's two different districts, it still seems like it's kind of against the odds that we all ended up near one another...

Either way it's seriously convenient. We can keep each other briefed easily-- we can even hang out together in the common area whenever we wanna meet up. Not exactly an awesome "secret headquarters" like Junes's food court, but it'll do, right?

[Husband-brother, down. She has already learned her lesson okay she is not going to attack him either physically or mentally. Also yes, that was her roundabout way of saying that she was indeed proud.]

You overcame the temptation to throw Namatame in. You faced Adachi, and then Ameno-sagiri, thus removing the veil of fog from your world...

[She spares him a skeptical look.]

Do you truly believe that is not exceeding when there were many times up until then where you and yours could have certainly failed?

[It was a bit hard to concentrate; Izanagi seemed to be almost annoyed that Yu was taking all this in stride, when Izanami had just admitted she was the one responsible for everything. It was like Yu had to remind him that even though they hadn't done it yet, they had obviously won against her, before his Persona was sent into a grumbling silence.]

[...seriously, these two needed a marriage counselor...]

[With Izanagi quieter, Yu took a breath, thinking for himself. She was right, he would give her that; they did succeed in what they wanted -- no, needed to do -- but...]

We kept going because we knew what we needed to do. We wouldn't allow ourselves to fail, no matter how tempting it was. And until now, I thought that would have been the end; that there was nothing else.

I don't think that's 'exceeding'.
