[After spending some time looking around town, talking with locals, and efficiently gathering information, Fumi's ready to introduce herself to the network. Except it's not so much an introduction as a combination lecture / interrogation. She doesn't have time for idle pleasantries - there is a new research topic afoot. Her face is expressionless as she launches right into her diatribe.]
Persona.
A concept first introduced by Swiss psychologist Carl Jung in the early twentieth century, described as 'a kind of mask, designed on the one hand to make a definite impression upon others, and on the other to conceal the true nature of the individual.'
[Dry and pedantic, just like she likes it. Although at this point, her features take on a hint of frustration.]
I have vague memories of having heard this word shortly before waking up in this city, and given the rather abrupt nature of my arrival, I feel safe in assuming the word holds a more significant meaning in this place than would normally be suggested by traditional psychological terminology. I've also gathered that I'm far from the only person to have arrived in this way, or to have experienced that vague dream upon arrival.
So, Hinoto-Ri, what can you tell me about the Persona phenomenon, and what is the most efficient way to awaken one? Please make your responses as brief and concise as possible. I may have found my next research topic.
[The woman smiles before ending the feed and waiting for responses.]

So they brought you here as well, Kanno.
[Since she's one of the few people in JP's in the know, Miyako uses her natural voice around her. Unless she's surrounded by JP's grunts, but thankfully none of them are here.]
Regarding Personas, there's the Aramid Room for obtaining Personas. It's similiar to the Velvet Room in practice.
[Video] - locking the feed out of respect for her, just in case
We'll save the pleasantries for later. This is the first I've heard anyone mention the Aramid Room. How does it compare?

...Well, unless their conversation turn towards over Certain Topics. But that's highly unlikely with Fumi.]
I haven't experience the Velvet Room myself. The differences I learned are in their choice of decor and presentation, namely a velvet bar to the Aramid's red lounge.
[She cannot speak about the Velvet Room's services to compare, so yeah. Buuut.]
If you find yourself waking up in the Aramid Room, it's possible for you to be inside a room with a distracting television.
[She can ignore the love hotel-like bedroom. The specialised commercials...reached to her. Far too distracting and alluring.]

Hmm... surely there's more difference than just their choice of interior decorator.
[She smiles, musing a bit.]
Television is meant to be distracting, but I assume there's something else you're getting at here.
[Video] | [Locked]
and maybe more but one thread on it isn't long enough yet]I suspected the televisions play commercials targeted at one viewer's subconscious.
[The Aramid Room is a place to get Personas, which dwell in the human mind. So it's not a stretch to assume those commercials were related to the human mind as well?
For such an uplifting advertisement, the one she watched was like a slap to her face.</small.]

In the meantime, I think I'll start working on awakening my own Persona.

When you do, report what kind of Persona it is.
