'Sup everyone.

[and here goes ryuji, moving around his apartment frantically. he's trying to get stuff together!]

A'ight, I feel like things are finally startin' to settle for me. So just wanna know- anyone out there wanna be my running buddy? I already got my pal Ren, but I figured I should try and branch out a bit more, y'know? I need someone that can push me, but also... not push me too hard, I guess.

[yup.] So lemme know!

Also uh... who out there can sew? I have reasons!

Video; HELLA PRIVATE To the Phantom Thieves

Guys!!!

[ryuji, as he keeps on running around his apartment, is seen grabbing things like magazines and... glue?! oh god what is he doing. getting ready for calling cards again, maybe?!]

So Akechi helped me realize that we all have our Personas here! I didn't know that for the longest time and- dammit! I gotta catch up here! My clothes stayed the same, since I ain't seen as a threat here I guess... so we gotta get our costumes back!

Basically, let's get the Phantom Thieves goin' strong here in Genessia! I dunno about changing hearts but... we could still fight against shitty evildoers and stuff!

Oh... you have?

[he perked up a little at that. he was expecting more resistance!]

Yeah well the reaction has started to backfire on him. I don't appreciate that kinda attitude. [everyone always thinks he's just a punk and a trouble maker, after all.]

...Thanks, for that, though. I ain't gonna hurt Mimi so he doesn't have to worry about that.

[She may occasionally engage in his trolling, but only when it was a victimless crime. Unless that victim was one of their brothers—that was their little sibling privilege.]

I think he already knows that on some level.

It’s just...we’ve all been through a lot together. And them even more—he’s known Mimi longer than he’s known me. I didn’t meet them both until a while later.

Oh, that so? How did you all meet anyways?

[mimi never told him that.]

Well, Mimi and Takeru met when they went to summer camp together. I was supposed to go that year too, but I had a cold and had to stay home. I was eight. Takeru was still seven, I think, and Mimi was ten.

[There was a pause. She knew what would come next and how it sounded, which was why her face twisted into a sheepish expression of preemptive apology.]

I met them both when they came to rescue me after I was kidnapped by an evil vampire Digimon trying to kill me.

[All truth. No trolling. Promise!]

Shit... you guys really have known each other for a long time.

[wait-] Hold up, what's a Digimon?!

[yeaahh mimi never told him about them.] Are they like Pokemon at all?

[~~hdu speak such blasphemy!~~ Actually, Hikari looked very close to nodding in response before thinking on it more.]

They are a bit similar. But Digimon can speak, and their evolutions come from a different source than what I’ve heard work for Pokémon. Plus, they can also devolve back to a younger form if they lose too much energy.
