[PHONE - AFTERNOON - Filtered to: Persona casts (all), Ruri, Shana, SHIKI, Gilgamesh, Lancer, anyone I forgot that he has a moderate amount of CR with]

Hey guys, it's Yosuke. I just thought I'd check in, see how everyone's doing. I know it's been sort of rough lately, so...

[PARK - EVENING - OPEN]

[He's been coming here a lot lately. It really isn't a bad place to spend time. The park is usually nice and peaceful, and it gives him plenty of time to think. To reflect on his time there, to figure out what he wants, to try and piece together what bits he's learned about the town. Really, he can think about whatever strikes him that particular day.

Today it seems the focus is on himself - him, and the choices he's made recently and not so recently. Decisions he's made, decisions he hasn't made. Time he's spent waiting. Other people he's heard about. Is he really doing what's best? If he has to be stuck in this town, doesn't he deserve to be as happy as he can be? Is he doing what he can to that end? Is the road he's on the right one - hell, is it even going anywhere?

Too bad there are no easy answers.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

It's been pretty boring lately.

Yeah? I guess that's better than some of the other options. I'll take boring any day of the week and oh my god I never thought I'd actually say that.

I've been working on sprints. Sooner or later I'll be able to catch you.

[ Souji sounds kind of boastful. ]

You're kidding, right?

Partner, I could give you a ten minute head start and still cream you. So long as you don't make me do fifty thousand push-ups first.

We should go to the rec center together, then. Racquetball might be up your alley.

Anytime, Partner. You know I'm always up for something fun!

.. Oh.

[ Souji just recalls something. ]

I've got something for you.

You do? [Yosuke likes getting things!] Am I allowed to know or is it a surprise?

Yeah. I'll bring it over. Are you free?

Yeah. I was thinking of hitting the park later, but I've got nothing right now. Come on by.

I'll be on my way.

[ Souji hangs up. A little while later, there is knocking on the front door of the Hanamura residence.... ]

[And there's a Yosuke answering it!]

Partner, just come in next time! I mean, it's not like I'm really worried about getting robbed or something.

Right.

[ Souji will still be knocking in the future, since he doesn't want to enter with Rin living there. ...Complications may occur. Regardless he comes in and he's holding something wrapped up in a few towels. ]

I got these, just for you.

You got me towels?

[No he's not that stupid, but why not joke around some?]

I thought we already had enough here, but I guess a few more can't hurt.

[ Souji just hands Yosuke the something wrapped up in towels. When Yosuke would unwrap it, he would a pair of short swords. They were sharp, light and strong! ]

[He of course wastes no time unwrapping the towels, because hell yes presents! His jaw drops when he sees the short swords - they're nothing aesthetically fancy, but it doesn't take a genius to tell that these babies are good. Almost reverently he takes them, taking a step back and spinning them in his hands.]

Holy... partner, these are amazing! They're at least as good as the stuff we got back home!

I'm glad you enjoy them.

[ Souji smiles. The swords have great weight distribution as well, suitable for Yosuke! ]

I meant to get these to you earlier.

[ A lot earlier. ]

Don't sweat it! I mean, hopefully I won't ever have to use them, right?

But still. These are awesome! Thanks, Partner. Really.

[Don't you just love it when you get those warm smiles from Yosuke?]

Right.

Chie's getting something, too.

[Wait a second. He meant to get these to him earlier.

Mentioning Chie for no real reason.

He can connect the dots]

... you still feel guilty about that, Souji?

Ah.

No, I asked a friend to make these almost two months ago.

I have something for Kanji, too.

[This reeks of subject change. You're not off the hook yet, Souji]

No, seriously. Do you still feel bad about everything that happened? Because I think you do.

... A little.

[ Sheepish smile. ]

... But I mentioned Chie because it's her birthday tomorrow.

[He sighs]

Partner, you couldn't be everywhere at once. Let it go. Besides, it was before I had the chance to beat some sense into you - anything holding you back then is long gone.

[And now he'll discuss Chie with a smile]

Yeah, I know! I've already got the perfect present in mind, too.
