[Well, weirdness of her first day here aside, Rise really ought to introduce herself properly.]

[Video]

Heeeey, Hinoto-Ri! I'm new here, so I thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Rise Kujikawa, and if you can hear this, just Rise is fine. I'm sixteen and a Gemini, since that's apparently important here!

Uh, more to the point, I'm from a world that already had Personas, even if there were a lot fewer of us who used them. I may be new here, but Kanzeon and I fought Shadows with my friends for months, so if anyone needs someone experienced with analysis Persona, I'm your girl! I've also been told I'm an okay singer and actress, on the off chance that ever comes up.

In exchange, though, can...someone fill me in on what we're supposed to do? I'm all for saving the city and protecting people, but I'm used to a little bit more direction...

[She pauses and thinks, visibly. She might be exaggerating the thinking posture a little.]

Oh, and Yu-senpai? Can you message me back so I can ask you a question? Thanks!

[With that, she smiles cheerfully and the camera moves away from her face.]

This is so much cooler than texting...now where's the off but--

I haven't. But I've only seen a handful of Personas anyway. But wow, that sounds helpful. Kind of like a command center in a battle.

[celebrity_commentator]

That's it exactly! Well, Yu-senpai's in charge of strategy, but I'm the one who provides the information and moral support!

[second_destiny]

So he's the field commander?

I think in context it's more like dammit Jung

[celebrity_commentator]

Yep! You wouldn't think it from how little he talks, but he's amazing at it.

Last I checked, they aren't called "Jungian slips."

[second_destiny]

Field commanders always have interesting quirks. You should have met my field commander before I got promoted. He was one hell of a guy.

[celebrity_commentator]

Ooh, was he...

[Wait, guessing based on TV shows would be stupid.]

I mean, what was he like?

[second_destiny]

A maverick. He was a pain in the ass for Command. But I've never met a CO who cared more about his subordinates. Even if he did like teasing us as much as he could.

[celebrity_commentator]

[...wow, she should have guessed based on TV shows.]

I see. It's got to be nice to have someone like that in the army.

[second_destiny]

Yeah...it was.

[celebrity_commentator]

Oh...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up any sad memories.

[second_destiny]

It's okay. You couldn't have known.

[celebrity_commentator]

It definitely sounds like he was a great guy, though.

[second_destiny]

Yep. It's thanks to him that I've grown into the guy I am today.
