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?

[Oh hi; you rang?]

Naoto!

[Your senpai is very happy to see you; just... you know, just a little surprised.]

It's good to see you again.

[Oh, there he is! She heard rumor you were hear... she'll even turn on the video feed just for you.]

Hello, Senpai. It's a pleasure to see you as well. [Even if she literally just did back at the train station... then again, she'd been saying goodbye to him. So actually it was nice seeing him again.]

It's nice to meet you, Shirogane-kun. I'm Aqua. [She laughs quietly.] Mm. It was a little strange for me as well when I first got here, but it is useful...

As for 'persona', I did read about it once or twice back home... though I didn't know about a context like this.

Koromaru knew! Many of my friends are users back home and here!

Indeed; it really is something, huh. It took me quite some time to get used to it.

I knew of the power of Persona for quite some time. But then, even time itself seems a bit subjective when it comes to our own worlds and this one...

[Well, Minako can help with the second part of that message.]

It's nice to meet you, Naoto-kun. [She is clearly talking to a boy, right?] I'm Minako Arisato... I was a Persona-user before coming here, along with a group of my friends. We're from Tatsumi Port Island.

[ Minato had just been going to reply to Naoto, but he has to do this first. ]

Koromaru... did Minako or Aigis teach you how to type back home?

[Well Minato, prepare to be surprised. Because he is, too.]

No. Why? [waaaaait a minute.] You can understand me???

[> You get the feeling he doesn't know something is translating dog-language to human...whatever the heck the COMPs translate it to.]

You knew about them before?

Likewise.

I see. The term originates from the study of psychology. Even here I can't say it strays far from its intended use.

[Gonna just.. stare at the screen for awhile.

And silently follow this conversation.

He even looks surprised back in the safety and seclusion of his room.

Smart mutt. He never doubted you.]

Ah... I suppose we should wish you a belated welcome to Hinoto-Ri. It is nice to meet you, Naoto-san. My name is Minato Arisato, and I am part of the same group of persona-users my sister Minako spoke of.

Yes, I noticed. Time does not flow the same way here as it does back home.

But you knew as well. I see. [and your choice to be anonymous is suspicious.]

How many?

[obviously she's talking to a dog...]

[Yep. Totally a boy...]

Same to you, Minako-san. ... Ah... Tatsumi Port Island? I've been there before. I wasn't aware there were Persona users there.

Yes, I did. I was also capable of using one even before I arrived.

Thank you. I see... I'm quite surprised. Having been to that island, I had no idea there were Persona users there. I'm from Inaba myself.

[Sob why you make him count. There's a brief pause as he lifts and presses his paw down repeatedly, making the nanomachines translate it to-]

Eight.

[A blink, and a pause.]

...You from Inaba?

Yes?

Wow! These glasses things are awesome, then!

[oh my headgoooods best day ever. 8DDDD ...Now they'll be able to find out just what he thinks about things without someone else having to translate.

Maybe he should apologize to Shinjiro ahead of time in case he gives up his attempt to pretend to nap instead of watching cooking shows...]

[He would also like to formally apologize ahead of time if he accidentally gives away any attempt someone has of pretending to nap when really doing something else again.]

[What Minato why are you blaming her

~~though she totally would have taught the dog to text if she thought it were feasible. Junpei could help.~~]

I know Koro-chan is smart but I didn't think he was THIS smart!

Ah, I see. Mm, if you're from Inaba, then I guess you are a part of Narukami-san's group. We were active a couple years before you, I think.

[~~because you and Junpei would be the ones to teach him? maybe???~~

Just wait until a squirrel comes by...]

sadface [...Translator you didn't need to translate that.]
