... So that reserve was for nothing, then.

Perhaps it's for the better if you leave it to a later month: it will give you more time to practice and maybe then you'll actually have the motivation to work on the application itself. Though, has it not occurred to you that you might be taking on more than you can handle? Do not overwork yourself, mundane. You will burn yourself out and you will end up frustrated with yourself. It's happened before and it will likely happen again.

Well, can't blame 'em for gettin' too excited. [Was that a stealth compliment? ...Kanji's not really a stealth guy, but...] But you got the right idea. Get her to take it easy, there's no real rush to get in there anyways, right?

This stuff's supposed to be fun, or somethin' along the lines.

[That stealth compliment

Naoto's head. Whoosh.]

It's a bit easier to convince her this time around, considering she has exams in the next two weeks.

[It's funny 'cause you're short.]

Egh. Yeah, priorities and stuff... I'd say just kick back and screw around on memes until that blows over.

[She's not that short, you're just huge >8(]

In all likelihood, that's what she'll do. Or those... museboxes... [Except Once Upon a Box isn't technically open yet whoops]

[HE'LL CARRY YOU ON HIS BACK then you can experience what it is to be tall for once]

...Not so keen on the musebox thing, huh?

The standard one isn't so bad, it's the... alternate universe one that I have some problems with...

... One of said problems has yellow eyes and wears an over-sized lab coat.

[Be grateful it's got clothes on, Naoto.]

It was beaten once, it can be beat again. No problem.

It's not that... it's just... I will have to deal with it following me around. 24/7.

Ah, jeez. You mean you can't just beat it or accept it so it stops botherin' ya as much?

Unfortunately.

Apparently it happened as a magic accident involving a deflected curse and a "shattered psyche". I'm fortunate enough that this one won't be nearly as... malevolent as the one we encountered.

Still, I can see how that'd be a pain. Wouldn't want mine trailin' around behind me all day, out in the open like that... [SHUDDER.]

...Uh, that's probably not helping. Um. It's like a little kid, right? Just... show 'em who's boss!

If it's any comfort, you would at least have had yours transform into a form not unlike your Persona. With their circumstances at their best, mind you.

I'll do my best, though. It... may be a handful, but hopefully not difficult to deal with. [Her precious personal space though 8( ]

Where's your mun taking you, Naoto-kun? I mean, assuming she is still taking you somewhere.

She still has plans to send me to

theinstitute. If she can manage to work out the exact details... My mundane is so indecisive; it's rather embarrassing.

Oh, right. But that's one of those AU places, isn't it? So it's understandable your mun needs a little more time to get it right...and isn't that better than her rushing it and getting it wrong?

It would be acceptable if her indecisiveness was tied to the alterations she intends to make to my past. She's changed her mind about my abilities in this AU nearly every other week.

Well, it is a big decision. I still think maybe you shouldn't be quite so hard on her when she's just making sure she'll come up with something that'll make you happy.

... Somehow, I get the feeling that may not entirely be the case.

[SHE DOESN'T TRUST THE WAY HER MUN IS SNICKERING, OKAY?]

...Well okay. Maybe happy's the wrong word.

[She should know better. Her own mun isn't much better]

At this point, my mundane is going to give me eidetic memory and heightened awareness... While more useful than other abilities, I'm not looking forward to the inevitable sensory overload.

Yeah, that sounds like it could stop being fun pretty quickly. But if anyone can handle it, I know you can.

I hope I can handle it.

... At the very least, I won't be alone there.

That's good. Being alone in new places really kinda sucks, even if you get to meet new people eventually.

[Being alone with no-one but Adachi sucks even more but details]

[... Naoto doesn't even want to imagine that.

Right, getting off that topic in general, then.]

I'm not looking forward to having a roommate, either.

Yeah...I guess that would be pretty weird when you're used to being by yourself. But who knows, maybe you'll end up really liking them.

[Rise is good at being optimist for other people, even when she's really bad at it for herself]

Well... I suppose this is a case of "prepare for the worst and hope for the best".

[... The best, in this scenario, being having a quiet roommate--]

About the best we can do...actually, that's a pretty good approach to muns in general.

[Have a Shiba-Inu sniffing at your ankles. Weird. You sure look like a boy but you smell like a girl... Koro is confused as to why you'd want to disguise yourself like that. One of the perks of being a dog.]

[... A dog?

She kneels down to get a better look. Maybe some form of identification... or maybe a way to find out the owner?] Did you get separated from your owner somehow? [Did she really just say--yeah no, it's not like anyone else is around. Who's going to care in the long run?]

[As if in response, the dog lifts one leg with a SEES armband fixed on it, nudging the armband with his nose.]

Arf!

SEES...?

[That doesn't really ring a bell, hm.] I suppose your owner has a similar band to this one, then...

[Koro shakes his head slightly, taking a few steps back. He tenses for a moment before some of the metal on his collar clicks and he lets out a howl, summoning Cerberus to stand over him.]

Arf!

[See? I'm just like you! I have friends, not an owner.]
