Bathhouse time, hoooooo!!

[ for things in the bathhouse, there are your usual spa options: a sauna, jacuzzi, pedicures, manicures, that kind of stuff. have fun, everyone. ]

-Oh.

[So she's an orphan, and... for some reason had to take over for her older sister.]

...Sorry if I brought up something bad.

No. [ She shakes her head ] It's alright. It's not a bad thing, it's just...

[ Sad. She can't even say that it was an accident or the natural course of life, but at least in the novel route, she finally knows that it wasn't a suicide driven by grief, but one done out of love. Ayano isn't gone forever; she's trapped in the Daze. Kido might not be able to help anymore, but she has confidence that the rest of them will be able to save her. ]

It's been a long time, so it's fine. It's a good gang. We stayed together for over ten years, and were able to bring more and more people into it, so it was like having the family grow.

So... you were able to recruit more people?

Yeah, somehow... I was sent to recruit one member, but then we met her brother and his friend, and some others who had known her too... It sort of snowballed from there.

[ They more than doubled their numbers in like two days... wild ]

It sounds like you did some recruiting too, then.

Yeah... We were looking for specific sorts of people, though, so it's pretty different from here, where it's... basically everyone. All the Persona users willing to work together as a group.

[ That makes it easier in some ways, harder in others. The recruitment job was sort of a flub anyways. ]

Specific sorts of people?

Um...

[ She hesitates for a moment, but decides that with all this Persona stuff going on, eye abilities isn't the weirdest thing out there. She doesn't have to worry about being called a monster here.

So she activates it and lets her eyes turn red. ]

People who have these sorts of eyes. Each one of them has a special ability, and we were working on figuring out where it came from, what to do with them, that sort of thing.

[He doesn't even look that surprised as she explains it, thinking it over.]

Kind of like us and Personas.

Yeah. We got really close to figuring out the eye abilities before I came back here. It doesn't look like we're quite as lucky about Personas, though.

[ Even after fastforwarding to the future and talking with the Daitengu, everything surrounding Personas is still pretty ??? for Kido. ]

There's still a lot we don't know about any of this...

Yeah...

[ What are they doing in a bathhouse? ]

We'd better get back to thinking once this break is over.

...We've all been working quickly this month. It feels like we're making progress faster than usual.

[He's almost waiting for the other shoe to drop??]

But that might be because there's others here now, too.

[ THERE'S THE OTHER SHOE ]

We're all coming together, and we have the strength and experience to show for it. Hopefully it'll go more smoothly from here on out, too.

[The other shoe sure is a fuckin giant heel coming to crush them.]

Mm. Here's hoping.
