I. > voice.
Hello. My name is Naoto Shirogane. I thought I would at least introduce myself over the network. I'm afraid I still have quite a bit to learn about this place but what I do know so far has been quite intriguing. The method of accessing the network is a bit unique as well...
[There's a brief pause as if she's considering her words carefully.]
I'm curious so if you would indulge me for a moment... How many of you were familiar with the term 'persona' prior to coming here? Also, who was familiar with the term in the context of using it to describe the power that people gain here?

[Because really, what other explanation is there?]
She doesn't seem to mean anyone any harm, however. In fact, she's been helpful.
[Video]
With all due respect Senpai I seriously doubt she intends to remain harmless.
[Video]
Still... I know what happened. What will happen.
[Video]
[She is seriously questioning your judgement right now, Senpai. Something she tries to never do.]
[Video]
She... showed me, what will happen. But I still felt everything.
[Every time someone died... he felt their pain, their despair... Izanami did not exactly pull her punches.]
She wanted to understand humanity, she just... did it wrong. Completely wrong. But we proved her wrong. She has no reason to harm us anymore.
[Video]
She killed me. [Her voice is even colder.] She killed the others too. And you. She orchestrated everything that happened in Inaba including your involvement. She doesn't want to understand us, she presumes she already does. [And Naoto is really skeptical that she would turn over a new leaf just like that.
This is personal to her, having been killed by her. Temporarily, perhaps under an illusion, but nevertheless a sensation that was very much real and very much still haunting her. The idea of just accepting a monster that did that to her--to everyone she cares about--is unfathomable.]
[Video]
[His voice was soft, contemplative. He remembered what it felt to die, even if he hadn't actually done it yet. Like... his breath had been ripped from his lungs, struggling to stay in what little light there was at the entrance to Yomi, trying to stand...]
[...but that wasn't all. He felt sadness too, and that was definitely not coming from his friends.]
She doesn't; we will prove her wrong, after all.
[He let out a soft breath.]
I'm not telling you to trust her, Naoto. But she doesn't mean us any harm.
[Video]
[She still sounds pretty unhappy at him. How can he be so sure of that after everything she did? Tried to do?]
[Video]
[He hesitated a moment, trailing off.]
...I don't know.
