On beating P4 Golden, and voicetesting

ALRIGHT PLAYER! Way to go the extra mile and make sure that you get through that final boss! I knew. You. Could. Do it!! WOO-HOO!!!

Man does it feel good to stretch my legs, too! I was feeling cooped up in your headspace, since you made this journal for me... when was it? A week ago? Sheeesh... well, I guess I shouldn't be too mad, but if you think you're going to get away with this without buying me a meat bowl, you've got another thing coming!

And I'm talking the good stuff, none of that pre-packaged Junes stuff. People might think I woldn't know the difference, but I'm a sophisticated girl!

... so um ...

Got a place planned for me yet?

Yeah. When everything happened in Inaba, we were working on organizing the Shadow Operatives; a sort of Black Ops division within National Security that deals with Shadow-related incidents.

If we'd known what was going on, we would've been there to help you guys out, offer training, and that sort of thing.

Huh... [Actually the look on her face goes from fascination to annoyance.]

GEEZ. You mean there IS a government organization that's SUPPOSED to take on the shadows? Way to drop the ball! I mean, I knew that the police department was incompetent, but the secret military organizations? SHEESH.

It's the same in movies too. Those guys in black suits and dark shades always come in to SAY they're going to make things better, but when it comes down to it they're just as bad as the police and sometimes they're the bad guys themselves!!

[There's a rather judgmental look in her eyes.]

At the time, there wasn't. It took Mitsuru's clout to finally push it through, and even then the government didn't exactly like the idea of taking orders from a handful of High School students.

By the time we convinced any of the higher-ups that Shadows even existed, you guys had already figured out who was behind everything, and we were still going through paperwork and getting things set up when you caught him.

...Impressive work, by the way.

But trust me, none of us are like the guys in the movies. Heck, I don't think any of us have even touched a black suit. ...Well, maybe Aigis-chan, but she's... a special case.

Huh...

[she pauses, processing all of that]

...that sounds like a really big mess to me.

[southpaw_senpai]

Yeah. It took a long time... and cost me two of my best friends, but... the world's a safer place because of it.

...[MMPF... yeah, why don't you go there, Akihiko. Right in the friends. :(]

...when you say cost, you mean... ...don't you?

[Yeah, she can't even say the word "die" in the context of her friends.]
