[Filtered to Shiki || 100% Unhackable]

Shiki... You have known Minato for a long while, right? Can... Can we talk in private about something?

[What is he doing? What is he doing? But Shiki's the only one he can think of to ask to... Will it serve for anything? He's not sure. He doesn't know but... He needs to talk with someone and he can only think of her right now.]

[Filtered to Hughes & Adell || 100% Unhackable]

Sorry to bother you both but, can I talk with you? There's been something in my mind lately and I would like your opinions on the matter.

[Adell because he has been here for longer and is the leader of the Blue Rogues. Hughes because he trusts the man's opinion and is an adult and the closest thing to his father he has here. Right now, Keiichi would love to be able to have his father around to ask him.]

[Filtered from Minato Arisato & Haruhi Suzumiya || 50% Unhackable]

[This is a filter he fails with, he doesn't want to hide from Minato but... He really can't bring himself to face him now. So he tries to do a filter and ends doing a shitty job because he can't concentrate on it. Haruhi... Gets added only because of the subject he's going to bring up.]

So, New Feathers, are you guys settling in? Anyone needs help with anything? My name's Keiichi Maebara and if I can I wouldn't mind to help you guys. I hope you're not having too much of a rough time getting used to this place.

For the rest, anyone planning anything for White Day? Or did the experiment screw up with the will to do anything about it?

[Once he sets off the messages, Keiichi will take up to wander around the village. He hasn't dropped by Minato's house since he met Junpei yesterday, he just doesn't know how to look at Minato so he has chosen to avoid him for a bit. He will dedicate his day to visit the flowershop, remembering that girl turned into an airship from the experiment back in January, it has been a while since it happened but... February was too chaotic for him to remember that he wanted to check on her. He will also drop by the Welcome Center to help anyone who may need it there. And the library.

Other than that he may get caught almost anywhere in the village.]

Naoto-kun? [wait...]

Ah, yeah, she arrived here yesterday and I went to fetch her up and get her some clothes, brought a sandwich and warm tea too. She's a friend of Rise and she's a Persona user too... Do you know her? She said she had gone to Port Island once, but that she was from Inaba, so I didn't consider that she would be one of your friends.

[Maybe he should have?]

It's...complicated.

[ which is an honest answer. the vampire reveal some saw, agreeing with damon to stop hiding it, and katherine showing up = very complicated. ]

But uh, nothing to worry about. [ care, you liar. ] How're you?

No... well, we met here before. [that makes four new Persona-users this cycle. He's going to have to call a meeting....]

She was here before? Well, she didn't know anything about Luceti so I suppose it doesn't really matters.

[Going to ask about the other group of Persona-users? Not at all.]

[Keiichi hums at her answer.]

Yeah, I know how that can be. I'm... Fine I suppose. Though maybe saying that it's complicated fits the situation more too. Could be better, but I could be worse too, at least I'm walking around and all that.

I know how that goes. [ she sighs, looking down at the ring on her finger for a moment. she could be bound to darkness, if stefan hadn't had bonnie spell the daywalking ring for her. she looks back up. ] Why wouldn't you be walking around?

It's good Rise-san's friends are arriving too.

Ah, well... The other day when we talked through the journals, I was at the hospital. I suppose I could still be there under supervision or even dead as a worse situation, none of those things allow for much walking around you know.

It is! This place is bad enough as it is, but being alone is worse.

Keiichi.

Calm down. When you've planned ahead to the best of your ability, there are some things not worth worrying about until the time comes to worry about them.

[It's hard to calm down, Hughes. The news about Minato don't help to make his mind relax either, but he tries to do as told.]

I just wonder if this is really the best I can do.

I'm dead and I'm walking around. [ ...okay, so that was a bad joke, but the truth nonetheless. ] You're okay now, though?

Well... I'm pretty sure that if I die here I'll be gone for a week at least.

[He's... Does she mean that she's dead at her world and yet walking here or what? Honestly, Keiichi sucks at keeping track of those things.]

But yeah, I'm fine now... At least regarding what brought me to the hospital. I may be better completely if I get to talk to a friend, but on the other hand part of me doesn't really want to face him now.

Yeah. [...] But no one stays alone very long.

Only as long as it takes their other friends to go break into the apartment to drag them out, right?

[Well, the one breaking in was Haruki but...]

No?

A week? Huh. I was out for a maybe an hour or two before I woke up in transition.

[ she shrugs, as if the semi-related babble wasn't anything to be concerned with. ]

Why, was he involved in whatever landed you in there? Is this a closure thing?

I suppose it may take different for each person, though I thought that everyone here said that it took a week for those who died here to return.

[He has the vague idea that they aren't really talking about the same thing though.]

No, he didn't have anything to do with that. It's just that... Well, it's hard to explain, I was told by someone else a few things about my friend that he himself never mentioned. They aren't... Bad and I kind of understand why he wouldn't blurt them out upon first meeting but after a year of being best friends and such I would have thought that he would share those things with me himself rather than hide them.

We're talking about two different kinds of deaths here, I think. I, uh, died back home. Not sure how the whole death thing here would work with me and I'm not really looking to find out.

[ no more trauma, please. ]

So, you just really need to talk it out and get around the secrets. I get that.

[...she's busy trying to think of what it is, and she can only reach one conclusion.] Does this have to do with something that happens in the spring?

I don't know what season it was...

[He really doesn't but...]

Minato's friend said that they had already defeated their enemy.

[He looks at her, do you know that they defeated the enemy? Or were they still fighting?]

[The look on her face should be enough.] He mentioned Nyx to you? [Wait do you know what Nyx is, Keiichi? This is vital.]

[Keiichi just stares at her, that expression... So... It's true?]

No... He just said that they defeated the "bad guys"... And that Minato was dead.

Oh... I see. Wait, then you were revived? Or are you some sort of not-dead person? Like a zombie or a vampire?

[What's up with so many people being dead in one way or another? Then again technically he has died a lot too...]

Yeah, I think it'll be fine after that. I just... Have to gather my courage to go face him. It's awkward to think of it, you know, I mean, he never brought it up so me going and bringing it up feel strange.
