Part 124: 9/15/09

9/15/09

We’ve still got a few weeks to the full moon.



Three left, huh? And the next one won’t come for another three weeks.
Man, why can’t they just come all at once?
I agree!
Then again, what would we look forward to afterwards?
But, with more people now, it should be easier to defeat them.
I can’t wait for the next full moon.

Yukari wanted to talk with me about something.



Are you busy? I thought we could talk for a while…
> Yukari looks anxious.
Th-Thanks…
> Yukari seems relieved.

It was about that time before the break where those guys tried to rob us.



Do you remember when those guys stole my wallet, and you came to help me?
And still… I just blurted out stuff that made no sense…
I was just so angry at myself.
D-Did it make you mad?
No?
R-Really? I’m glad to hear that…
> Yukari seems relieved…
I always just blurt out whatever I’m thinking to you.
* chuckle * …I wonder why.
Isn’t it because we’re friends?
……
I see…
Oh… I get it now…
That’s how friends are…
> It seems that Yukari wasn’t expecting that answer…

I don’t know if Yukari’s ever really had a close friend.



I always keep thinking of myself as apart from others… To tell the truth, I didn’t care about other people.
But at the same time, I didn’t want anybody to get involved with me either.
…But, it’s kinda different with you.
I don’t mind how much you try to be my friend… Actually, I look forward to it.
I think, deep down… I wanted someone to understand what I was going through.
Maybe I wanted someone to be sympathetic and say “Oh, poor thing, you’re doing your best…”
Maybe I want someone to try and take special care of me for once…
…Not that I’d let just anyone do it.
I’d only want someone I like to do that for me.
> Yukari smiles…
> You sense Yukari’s affection for you…

I’m just glad she’s starting to realize how much better life can be when you can rely on other people.



Y-Yikes, I didn’t mean to just start babbling all this embarrassing stuff! At Wuck of all places…!
C’mon, eat your fries! We’re leaving!
…But let’s grab some anmitsu before going back.
> You ate anmitsu at the sweets shop with Yukari before heading back to the dorm…

It seems things are getting better with Chidori, which is good news.



I heard that Chidori-san is starting to open up a little…
However, she’s still uncomfortable talking about Personas…
It might take a while before she’s ready.
Oh well.
We still have three Shadows to worry about, so I’ll concentrate on that.
They’ll be sorry they ever set foot into this world.

Shinjiro is impressed we’ve come so far.



And you’ve already beat nine of ‘em, huh?
Not bad…

Junpei’s changed so much, it’s amazing.



So, I’m gonna give her some space.
It’s gonna be hard. But, what can I do…?

Oh, it seems like this typhoon really might hit at the same time as the Culture Festival.



…which is a shame. As Student Council President, I have invested a lot of time organizing it.
So, I hope we can still have the festival, but…
I guess all we can do is trust in Providence…

I hope it doesn’t, I’m looking forward to it.



The only reason he is still alive is because he has knowledge in self-preservation…
That quality makes him quite valuable in battle.

I think we could all use a bit of fun.



I used to think he was a bit of a womanizer…
…but now he seems like such a gentleman.

Still, the sky is already starting to darken. I’m fearing the worst.



Quit prancing around like that… You act like this is the first time I’ve ever taken you out on a walk.
I don’t like the look of that weather… Seems like a storm’s coming.
……
Well, what happens, happens…
> You spoke quietly with Shinjiro…
Woof.
> It seems Koromaru is done playing.
That was fast. Had enough for tonight?
…You used to live here, huh?
Well, c’mon… Let’s go home.
> You decide to go back to the dorm with Koromaru.
