[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--

Learning a lot is a good trade-off.

Hm... I'm sure you'll be able to find somewhere. This place so far has been pretty welcoming and even sometimes eager to have um... newcomers like us get involved places. They might be really open to the idea of a small show somewhere.

[celebrity_commentator]

You think? I imagine they have their own entertainment business here, though. Even if it's probably smaller than back home...

[fools_journey]

Well, that's no reason to think you can't get involved or at least look into it, if that's what you want to do.

[celebrity_commentator]

Well, it means a lot to have at least one more fan here. I'll have to start from scratch, but...I think I like that idea.

[fools_journey]

I wish you luck in pursuing it, then, if you go for it.

If you need any help, by the way, I'll be happy to try, even if it's just pointing you in what's hopefully the right direction for answers.

Wow, that's really nice of you! Thank you...

...oh, I didn't even ask your name, did I?

[fools_journey]

Oh. Sorry - I should have introduced myself.

My name is Minato Arisato. It is nice to make your acquaintance.

[celebrity_commentator]

The same to you, Minato-kun. I'll give you a call if I ever need anything.
