[ After pulling herself out of the water, squeezing as much of it out of her hair as possible, pulling off her wet socks and shoes and then trying to salvage her possessions, Minako's decided to fiddle with this thing. Peering into the camera curiously, you'll just see an eye at first, then panning out to her fce - hesitant, but still somewhat cheerful. ]


Hello? [ She pauses, then smiles at the camera again. She's tryyyiiing to hide her nervousness, really. ] Someone's on the other end of this thing, right?


[ aghsdfdsghgdsh WHAT DO WHERE'S SENPAI X 2 why did she end up in the water, man, she didn't even get on a boat. ]


Hello?

[ why....she sounds like she doesn't recognise her? maybe the video is off... nope, it's on.

malfunction? ]

I'm alright! Can you see me...?

[invoker]

Yes, I can see you. This is Vatheon, it's under the sea. It's natural to first arrive with your clothes wetter than you expect.

[This girl... she was wearing the Gekkoukan uniform and a SEES armband. That definitely raises a few markers in Mitsuru's head but there were other things to tend to first - such as making sure she was alright.]

[stereo]

Ah... I guess so. How long have you been here?

[invoker]

At this current point in time I have been in Vatheon for approximately 3 months.

[Pause. She's speaking rather informally, like they knew each other. Were they meant to know each other? Mitsuru would have remembered meeting someone like her, surely.]

That uniform... would you be from Gekkoukan High, by any chance?

[stereo]

Of course. You... don't recognise me?

[invoker]

... I'm sorry, if we have met I have no recollection of it.

[Mitsuru's genuinely sorry. She didn't want to confuse the poor girl even more but she doesn't know who she is.]

My name is Mitsuru Kirijo, the Head of the Student Council and the Kirijo Group. I must ask where you obtained that armband as well.

[stereo]

Ah... Well, you gave it to me. Quite awhile ago, actually.

[ ha...ha... maybe this is a bad dream.............. ]

[invoker]

...

[This isn't making any sense. If she gave it, then she must have been a member of SEES. But where did she appear from? Did Nyx interfere with their memories without them knowing? She was sincerely apologetic at this point.]

I'm sorry, I really don't have any record of this. What's your name? And what Persona do you have?

[stereo]

I'm Minako... My Persona is Orpheus. [ well, the first one......................................... ] You really don't remember me?

[invoker]

It might be better if we talk about this in person. If there's a giant coral near where you are, stay put. I know where you might possibly be.

[stereo]

...There is. Alright, I'll wait.

video -> action

[invoker]

[Mitsuru arrives at the plaza with a towel, looking for this mysterious Minako girl. If her first Persona was Orpheus, then she was... well, it's too far fetched for Mitsuru even to say it at the moment.

She spots the Gekkoukan High uniform and walks over.]

action

[stereo]

[ She wants to run over to her, excited to see a friend in person finally but - the lack of memories halted her. ]

Hello.

[invoker]

Minako, wasn't it?

[Mitsuru hands over the towel.]

I don't completely understand what's going on, to be terribly honest. All the signs point to you... being a female version of a male I know. Who has Orpheus for a Persona. Who I inducted into SEES.

[stereo]

[ male version, huh. ]

That does sound true. I've never heard of a male version of myself.

[ she's remembering hanging out with ryoji though. he mentioned that he'd feel as strongly for a male version of her as well, didn't he? hm. ]

[invoker]

Hmm... it might be better to talk to him about that.

[She sighs, but keep it together. She doesn't get it.]

Listen, I feel like that since you are a member of SEES - you are technically my responsibility. It wouldn't be right for me to just leave you here to fend for yourself. We have a dorm in the city that you can stay in, the others are there. Including him. And we have a discussion about what on earth is going on.

[stereo]

[ it feels a lot like being re-inducted into SEES. ]

That would be great... I didn't realise there were others here.

[invoker]

Yamagishi, Takeba, Amada, Iori and Mochizuki are here, in addition to myself, Akihiko and Arisato. There are other Persona users besides us as well, but that's for another time. When you're ready.

[Mitsuru manages to smile.]

[stereo]

... So I'm late, then. [ whoah did she say ryoji ] How did Ryoji get here..?
