[so this has gotta be some sorta palace, right?! there's no goddamn way that he just suddenly ended up in some totally random island or wherever this was! ryuji had listened to the girl on the hologram, he read the pamphlets, he even walked through the town! but all he was getting from all of this is that this was definitely a palace he had wandered into.

but why wasn't he changing clothes? maybe whoever owned this palace didn't think of him as a threat yet? huh.... either way! he now figured it would be best to talk to whoever is here on the weirdo device he was given.]

Uuhh... hellooooo? Testing testing, one two three or whatever the hell. So I really just talk into this and- ah, okay. Alright.

[he cleared his throat!] Ehem! Name's uh... [should he even give his name? this is a palace after all. but at the same time he wasn't in his skull outfit so... maybe it was alright for the time being.]

Name's Ryuji Sakamoto. Just arrived here. Um. I'm in highschool, I love ramen, and going to the arcade... [why is he treating this like a dating app?!]

So yeah! Do we really just.... get jobs and live here? [what a weird palace.]

How the hell was everyone here and I didn't even realize-?! Just what is goin' on here?!

[this place is seriously so weird!!] I don't remember bein' here at all, nah that wasn't me! [he will deny that, all of that.]

...What does that even mean? I saw him briefly and I just... can't even believe the guy is alive.

[his head is hurting from all of this.] Huh? We stopped Shido, of course. Just got out of his palace.

Like I said, there are weird timeline problems here.

[A small pause.]

Yeah.... He's... When we first came, we.... may have told him he died.... I tried to be vague about what I last remembered with Shido, but then you ended up telling him what happened to him.

And... now he knows for himself so it's a bit of a hard time for him. But we have another chance to make things right. I.. call me crazy but I want to get past what happened and try to make the best of our time here while we find a way out.

Oh. Yeah I ended up spilling that all to him all over again, I guess.

[he straight up shouted at akechi for being alive yepyep.]

...That guy is still a bastard, he tried to kill Akira. But-... yeah, I see your point, we should maybe at least try. I'll give it some effort.

[good job ryuji.]

[Why is she not surprised?]

Things are different now. [Trust me, she hasn't forgotten that.]

[But now they're at least close to the apartment.]

....Yeah. They are.

[ryuji shook his head.] Dammit... everythin' is just so messed up again.

I can't 100% forgive him for what he did, but seeing how his life has been and what happened to him... I want to get over it and start over. We're stuck here and unlike us, he doesn't have a home to go to after this.... We'll return home, but he won't be alive anymore.

[Maybe a bit naive, but she would rather move forward than to hang onto the past. She won't let him start shit though.]

Really?

[ryuji kind of went quiet at that. he was just thinking to himself, about how to handle akechi, about being in this place...

dammit all.]

...I guess so. He's... dead, after all.

So, I'm not saying you have to be buddy buddy with the guy, just... try not to start too many fights, okay?

[At least she tried to lighten the mood a bit with a small joke at his expense.]
