Thirteenth Spool of Thread-[Action/Voice]

[so_shik]

[If anybody's wandering by, they'll see that All Passions is broken up and on the ground, wood and clothes in a giant pile from when Mr. Giant Squid accidentally stomped on it. Shiki's slowly rebuilding but she could definitely use the help]

Just what was that all about anyway? Way to ruin my finished product and shake things up, Squid.

Everybody doing okay though? That was a little too weird.

Then you'd have just graduated.

[action]

[so_shik]

Right. And you would be in your last year?

[action]

[emp3thy]

My second year had just ended.

[action]

[so_shik]

Oh right...[she pauses then, something else on her mind]

Hey Minato. Aegis is a robot, right? Why?

[action]

[emp3thy]

She was built to fight Shadows.

[action]

[so_shik]

...but she has all the human thoughts and emotions.

[action]

[emp3thy]

You have to have a personality to use a Persona.

[action]

[so_shik]

That's almost cruel, isn't it? Giving her everything to be a real person without a real body.

[action]

[emp3thy]

...She was built to be a weapon. Back then, I don't think they thought about how she'd feel.

[action]

[so_shik]

Weapon or not, what did they think she was going to do once there were no more Shadows to fight? It's just that she doesn't look like a standard robot at all and she thinks and talks like a person, but it's not enough. It's not fair.

[action]

[emp3thy]

I agree, Shiki-san.

[> You don't think they planned on her surviving... but you can't bring yourself to say it.]

[action]

[so_shik]

...but you only met her because she was supposed to fight Shadows.

[action]

[emp3thy]

...Yes.

[action]

[so_shik]

...guess that's not different than how I met my friends.

[action]

[emp3thy]

You can find friends anywhere.

[action]

[so_shik]

True. I think that's the main reason I don't mind being here. It's almost like what happened back at home doesn't matter because of the friendships you form here.

[action]

[emp3thy]

It isn't as important, anyway.

[action]

[so_shik]

And the things you don't want people to know, they don't have to unless you decide to share.

[action]

[emp3thy]

Mm.

[action]

[so_shik]

...you and Aegis might be the only other ones who know about this being Eri's body. And only a few more people know about the Reaper's game.

[action]

[emp3thy]

Only a few people know about the Personas, too.

[action]

[so_shik]

Maybe we should keep it that way?

[action]

[emp3thy]

I have been. ...It's why we didn't know about Rise's group until the last experiment.

[action]

[so_shik]

How far in the future is Rise's group then?

[action]

[emp3thy]

Two years.
