Track 08 - I'll Be There

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.]

It was my plan as of thirty seconds ago, but I think it's a pretty good one.

[doudemoe]

Clever strategist. I can see why you and Souji get along well in battle.

[princeofjunes]

What can I say? When I see an opportunity, I like to take it! And Partner usually sees eye to eye on it.

[doudemoe]

[Nothing about that sentence is gay at all.]

When you put it like that, I suppose I can let it go.

[princeofjunes]

[Of course not! Partner's just good with his hands!]

See? I knew you were cool, Minato.

Been up to anything fun lately? Or just computer games now that you have the chance?

[doudemoe]

Nah, no games yet. I'll have to talk to Ruri-san about it.

[Unless you like minesweeper. (And no word about the results about the vs match between him and Minako.)]

[princeofjunes]

I'll bug her about it if I see her before you get the chance! I run into her a lot - but I guess going to where she works all the time might have something to do with it.

[doudemoe]

Really? I don't see you too often.

[princeofjunes]

I'm not saying I specifically come on the days when there's not many guys, but...

That's totally what I do.

[doudemoe]

Huh. I should warn the world of your dastardly deeds.

[princeofjunes]

Nothing personal bro, but if I saw you during swimsuit week, your skinny ass would distract me from the hot ladies until I force fed you three cheeseburgers. And I'm there for the ladies, not for the guys.

[doudemoe]

[This face...not that Yosuke can see it.]

Yeah, same here.

[princeofjunes]

Hey, wait. Don't you have a girlfriend? Is she alright with you strutting your stuff for the ladies in a cosplay cafe?

Or did I imagine the whole girlfriend thing?

[doudemoe]

Well, let's just say she isn't the jealous type.

[And he will leave it at that.]

[princeofjunes]

Lucky! Most girls would have a fit. Hell, most guys probably would too. Sounds like you've got a keeper, Minato.
