[ Minato stares up at the ceiling. Was he happy with his team...? He doesn't remember much about them. Names and faces, general things like how his core group were Persona users in the past and they'd quickly banded together upon realizing that. But they weren't... friends. Like he isn't friends with people here— he's not a member of the team, anyways, so he wouldn't count either way. But during his time before Hirajiro, he had a team he wasn't friends with either.

You don't need to be friends to be happy. But how do you be happy otherwise...?

It's hard. The best answer Minato can give is another nondescript shrug. ]

I liked them. I think I cared about them. But it wasn't really a team I laughed and joked around— not all of them were weirdly friendly like you and Souji. [ He's looking at you, Tatsuya. ] I was content, I guess. They were a good team. And they're good people.

[ But he wasn't happy. ]
