 2 weeks exact until the full moon, so we should probably go to Tartarus sometime soon. But, eh, it can wait a while. We could've even done that before (not even really close to tired), but it's not super important just yet.   They're showing a war movie marathon today... Sweet, huh!? So, are you in? Sure. Yeah, dawg... It's gonna be awesome! I'll see ya later.Kaz... Kaz, please. I'm... sorta... glad to see you again, but c'mon.  When The Moon's Reaching Out Stars / Way of Life   I'm sure you're surprised to hear that this is +4 Courage. ...Gotta run. Later, bro.> You decide to go back to the dorm. Iwatodai Dorm  I guess it just seems different because we're on break.Well, maybe? It is a fortnight exact, so there's generally more visible folks with Apathy Syndrome out and about now.   The more victims there are, the stronger the Shadow. Based on our data thus far, the next Shadow will most likely be stronger than the last.There's also the simple reasoning of how they seem to appear piecemeal, rather than all simultaneously, thus they have to get stronger because where one was slain, the next may thrive. Or something. I never claimed to be good at this.  But, I'm here, so we can still go to Tartarus.Oh, yeah, great. Thanks, Akihiko. ...We're not going to Tartarus today.  Yukari and Fuuka are up on the second floor, just hanging out here. Ken, meanwhile, is in his room. Again.  What do you think will happen to us if the Dark Hour disappears? We'll go back to normal. Yeah, that's what I think too. Those Strega guys said our Persona abilities will disappear without a trace. So, we'll probably just go back to being ordinary high school students.  There are only four Shadows left... We have to defeat them and stop the damage they're causing to society. I've read some of those blogs... A girl wrote about the suffering she experienced when she was one of The Lost... And some guy posted a message about his parents becoming victims... It's so sad...I feel like it being colloquially referred to as "Apathy Syndrome" just made slightly less sense. Until now it seemed to fit fine, and yet...  More importantly, Koromaru wants to go for a walk! This is a Saturday, so it's normally an arcade night, but... Joy   So this is my last high school summer vacation, huh...? I don't feel like that's good or bad... I do have some regrets, though. .....> You spoke quietly with Akihiko...  Well, we should get back. It's nice enough at our dorm too, right?I'd be surprised if it wasn't, really. It's 4 stories, has cable, I guess heating and air con...  It's not quite the Arcade's quiz, but at least we can do what I can only surmise is homework or whatever. It makes sense to me, at least.  It's so weird having a Sunday now. It's, like, freedom from our usual rigamarole.  And we could totally even use it today to do whatever we want! And I recommend you probably do that. It's a free day.  They're having a tear-jerker marathon... I just love movies like that... So, will you come With me?Obviously this is gonna be Charm, and we already maxed Chihiro's S.Link as well. We have no reason at all to bother doing this. Sure. Thank you! I can't wait!> Chihiro seems excited. ...But we're doing it anyway, because gently caress it. Why not. When The Moon's Reaching Out Stars / Way of Life Are you ready? Let's go get seated. Thanks for coming with me. We should probably get going, though.> After saying goodbye to Chihiro, you decide to go back to the dorm. And that was definitely worth wasting our daytime slot on Chihiro. Yep. Iwatodai Dorm Why is school temporarily closed during the summer? It's customary. Interesting... ...Then, school resumes the following month. ...I comprehend. ...Also, Ikutsuki's here today apparently. Sure, okay.  Oh, you think that I don't know anything about fashion because I'm a researcher, right? No, not at all. Good. You understand that it's not prudent to judge a person based on preconceptions.It's more that I have never thought about it before. Because why even would I. C'mon, man.   You should really consider strengthening the team. Now that Koromaru has joined us, there are more members to choose from.We could technically form 2 full teams, even! Provided Makoto is on both teams, and thus ensures that he   ...And now. the news. Fortunately, they're Phoenix Rangers so they probably all have Amrita (or at least Stondi, or Dis-Stones) and thus don't have to worry about Petrification.  Tonight, Junpei's hanging out upstairs with the girls.  Yes! We have an important mission!! I think homework is also an important mission... Yeah, and I'm sure Senpai would agree. ...Hmph.I genuinely want to see Junpei try that line on Mitsuru at some point. See how well it goes for ya, buddy.  What an idiot. He's only making things worse for himself... ...but doing our summer vacation homework is just as important. In fact, it may be more of a priority because of the time constraint... That's right... Have YOU been doing your homework, Junpei? Of course! Who do you think I am! ...Alright, ya got me! I haven't done any of it yet! ...... What? Don't look at me like that!Do your homework, Junpei.  Hey, wouldn't you know it? Koromaru wants to go for a walk again tonight! Unfortunately, no one else wants to come with. Fine, their loss. Joy Ohey, Bunkichi! We, uh, kinda haven't been by the store in a while, huh? Probably should do that sometime soon before I forget.  You're quite a rascal, walking around late at night like this! Say, who's that with you...? Don't tell me that's Makoto-chan's...!? On the one hand, I really wanna know who/what he thought Koromaru was. On the other hand, I really... don't.  Either way, with that Koromaru is off to the shrine proper for a bit.  Meanwhile we just sorta hang out with Bunkichi and do a normal S.Link style hangout, which is nice.  We even get +10 towards the next rank outta it. I think this is fixed to be +10 no matter what, though. It doesn't matter here, but it might for a more general playthrough.  > You decide to go back to the dorm with Koromaru. Definitely need to back to Bookworms sometime soon, but I dunno when we'll get around to that really.  My September notes are already kind of a borderline unreadable mess that I've had to rewrite like four times.  Eavesdropping Troubled Anyway, today begins with... Ken doing things?  I'm sorry, but I won't take no for an answer. You know, another new Persona-user joined us... and he's not human. ...What? He's incredibly loyal... Up 'til now, he's been guarding the spot where his master was killed... despite the bad memories. ...... But, it's been two years since then... ...... How long do you plan to beat yourself up over it? You're always at that spot behind the station, even though you don't hang out with the crowd there. It doesn't matter.  What difference does it make if I come to terms with it? It won't change anything.  Shinji... That's enough, already. I just want to forget it ever happened.  ...... It can't be... ...... So his name is Shinji, huh...? End Iwatodai Dorm Anyway, we don't get any calls from anyone at this point to go the movies with them. The Film Festival thing IS still ongoing, though...  The formatting is tricky... I'll have to do some research. "You should relax during summer vacation"... That is what I was told. Thus, I am devoting all available processes to relaxation.Mitsuru is busy being, well, Mitsuru and Aigis is being... Aigis, alright.  Maybe he's exhausted from the heat, like Junpei...Speaking of Junpei, he's mysteriously MIA today. Akihiko's off-screen somewhere too, but he just had a cutscene. Ken apparently teleported back into his bedroom since then. Junpei's just... nowhere.  Critical Woman: Don't say nonsense like, "If you leave them alone, they'll recover..."! Doctor: We're doing our best to take care of the Apathy Syndrome. But all we can do right now is-- Critical Woman: That's what you keep saying! Moderator Whew! It's getting as hot in here as it is out there, but that's all the time we have for today. Coming up next, the news.   My friend texted me, saying she was bailing on our plans to go to the Film Festival. It must have been some emergency! She was so excited about it...> Yukari seems interested in going to the Film Festival. Wanna go with me? Hm? With you? Well... Sure, why not? I hope you're into the kinda stuff they're showing today, cause we'll be seeing a lot of it!> Yukari seems happy. I probably shoulda checked to see what the theatre would be playing, honestly. I kinda forgot to do that though. When The Moon's Reaching Out Stars / Way of Life So it might be kinda manly for you... I don't know about this.I... what.  Yes, really. This was an Academics boost. Just, uh, just keep that in mind.   You know... There really are times in life that you have to get by on willpower alone. But I'm still young... I probably haven't seen anything that hard yet. Wow, it's getting late. How many movies did they show? The baseball one, the judo one, the military basic training one... Oh, the shot put one! How could I forget? The shot put sequences kinda lost me. but all the scenes after that with the main guy running were incredible.  ...... ...I'm being weird, huh? I'm getting hungry. Why don't we grab a bite somewhere and head back to the dorm?> You decided to go back to the dorm with Yukari. Iwatodai Dorm  There must be something I can do to pass the time... Work. *chuckle* Good one.Do your homework, Junpei.  It is your decision whether the same team members fight in every battle, or if different team members fight in each battle. Either way, please think strategically when you are selecting your team.I have the best strategy for this. I'm a great long-term planner!  Maybe he's suffering from the summer heat like Junpei-kun said... I've been doing it little by little, but for right now. I'm going to take a break from it. I think he's got heat exhaustion. Poor kid... He should go outside and play. You know, have some fun, build up some stamina.Honestly, even though we know it's wrong, I do like that folks - including Junpei - are attentative enough to pay attention and see that Ken's acting differently today.  Anyway, today is Monday so we'll just head on up to our room to get in some late night studying as per usual.  We still don't get invited by anyone else to the movies, so we're officially done with that. No, not the Film Festival.   But I could never achieve it, because there was so much else in the way. But I've made up my mind... the next chance I get, I'll do it. My mind is clear.It's not at all obvious what Ken's referring to here, but at least we can see immediately that Junpei's theory was wrong. But we already knew that, so...  Haha. I'm just kidding. I really had fun today... I'm glad I came! Thanks for inviting me.Yesterday, Yukari. You mean yesterday.  Is it the heat or something? Kids are supposed to be outside in the yard, playing with the dog. Though there's no backyard here... Hey, we have a dog! I could be playing with him now!Dangit Junpei. At least you... actually, drat, I can't complain about that.  You look bored. Did you finish your homework? ...Well, you're one up on Junpei. I actually want to switch up my workout plan, but the heat is killing me... Wanna go to the Film Festival? Film Festival, huh? I didn't know about it 'til Junpei told me. C'mon, let's go. When The Moon's Reaching Out Stars / Way of Life Oh well. Let's give it a shot. This one's +4 Courage, by the way. His hands were on fire... And he must have jumped eight feet! It looked like he was suspended from the ceiling. I guess that's why they call it "wire-fu," huh? They must have been on some kind of amazmg training program... But they never show those parts! Arrgh! Tch... I gotta train even harder...! I'm gonna do squats all the way back on the monorail!> You decided to go back to the dorm with Akihiko. Iwatodai Dorm  Please be careful that you don't get heat exhaustion.She says, with a big ol' smile on her face...  Once school starts, you won't have much time for anything else. So, if there's something you want to do, you should do it while you're still on break.Akihiko is genuinely the only person in the dorm this evening that has updated dialogue. Yeah.  So let's just go see Tanaka, since it's Tuesday and all. This Mysterious Feeling  She was a kind of girl that men dream of--drop dead gorgeous. But, no matter how attractive she was, I was repulsed by her dedication to charity work. You're not going to donate? ...Well if I say no, the tabloids will tear me to shreds.> President Tanaka seems annoyed.  drat, Tanaka. I take from that if you knew that the cash was more likely to go to rich dudes in the first place, you'd be more inclined to donate...? I pulled myself up out of squalor to get where I am today! That's what I had always dreamt of. But to tell you the truth, now I have too much money. Profits are booming, but I'm so busy I don't have time to spend a dime... Maybe I should train someone to take my place. I could teach them my business philosophy and help them master my management techniques... It would probably cost me a fortune, but if it works, then I could sit back and relax in my massage chair! How 'bout it? Want to become my successor? I'll even let you join the Tanaka family... ...Just kidding. People would think I'm a weirdo if I adopted a boy as old as you...> Despite his odd sense of humor, you sense President Tanaka's strong feelings towards you. > You feel like you understand him a little better now.   > President Tanaka left. Y'know, I remembered this being ever-so-slightly earlier. Not by much, just not the 9th. Guess I was off a bit. Happens!  It's not a big deal, after all.  Since we have time, we'll go for at least one more day. Iwatodai Dorm I need to figure a way to bust out punches like the ones in the movie...> Akihiko is thinking hard... You decided to leave him alone. I would definitely love to see Akihiko punch like that.  Furthermore, it appears that if he does not go today, he will not be able to go at all. Please listen to Koromaru-san's request, Makoto-san. Arf! Let's go. Arf! Koromaru-san is very happy. I, in turn, am happy for Koromaru-san. When The Moon's Reaching Out Stars / Way of Life So, we're going to the movies with Koromaru today. And it was his idea. And we're watching hotblooded shounen anime, apparently.  *whine* Arf! Arf!> Koromaru can't wait any longer. > You enter the movie theater with Koromaru.   > Koromaru seems disappointed...  *whine*> Koromaru seems sad... ...... Woof... ......> You promise Koromaru to buy the DVD for him when it's released...  Woof! Woof! Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf!> Koromaru seems very happy! > After walking Koromaru, you decided to go back to the dorm. ...Not gonna lie, most of the reason I even bothered with the movies was so I could have a justification for doing Koromaru's movie date.  So if you're going to Tartarus, count me in.Obviously enough at this point, we're not going to go to Tartarus tonight. Sorry, Akihiko.  This poses a problem... I will not be able to stay by your side when you are at school. That worries me...Well, someone has to stay here and look after Koromaru.  Prepare yourself for it. Well then, I guess he'll be heading home soon... Even though he wasn't here for very long. it's still gonna be sad to see him go... Honestly, I think we might be able to get Academics maxed just in time for going back to school. Maybe.  We're halfway there, but it's still got a bit of a ways to go. It won't be easy, but I don't do things because they're easy. That much should be obvious at this point. But that's not really important right now. We just wanna get it done before our next exams, anyway, and that's when it'd be most important. And we can DEFINITELY get it before then.

Maybe we could've gotten away with taking Koromaru in if we'd claimed he was a service dog of some kind. Like, claim taking care of the dog is part of a new treatment for helping people recover from Apathy Syndrome, so we have to have him with us at all times. It's even technically mostly true!

 Well, we're just a few short days away from... being back to school... Iwatodai Dorm Just watching him is making me sweat! Makoto-kun, can you get him outta here? Sorry, Yuka-tan... I didn't mean to freak you out... Here, I'll give you half! But you gotta use my chopsticks, cause I didn't bring any spares. Why would I want any!? Anyway... This whole summer has been scorching... I can't concentrate on my homework With this heat.I see Yukari's never managed to enjoy something as simple as a curry before. Oddly disappointing, in a way.  Merely standing in one spot does not seem to count as relaxing. Today, I am observing everyone's actions so that tomorrow, I might relax in the correct manner.Well, yeah. Anyone here could've told you that otherwise The Lost would be the most relaxed folks ever!  It's likely that the outage was caused by students planning their summer vacations...   I gotta hurry or I'll miss the trailers! But I gotta eat first, or I'll faint on the way over... Oh, hey, Makoto. I'm thinking of catching some flicks. Wanna come along? The lineup today is choice, man! Sure. Sweet! Just gimme a minute to finish eating! When The Moon's Reaching Out Stars / Way of Life It's kinda weird to see a movie with another guy, but... I'm getting pumped all the same! Let's go! Oh, don't let me forget the popcorn with extra butter! No, Junpei is not mid-blink here. He's, like, thinking or something. Why couldn't I have been born in the U.S.A.? By now, I'd have been all... Saving the babes! Fighting for my country! And everyone would be like--  > You decide to go back to the dorm with Junpei. Did you expect Junpei to secretly be a westaboo? No? Don't worry, he probably isn't because as far as I remember this never comes up again.   Speaking of Junpei, the only thing of note in the dorm is that we can walk Koromaru today. Definitely gonna do that, then. Joy Don't wear yourself out, okay? A guy watches something like that, and he feels like he can take on the world!Like, sure, but it did give a Charm boost... ...But the coolest part was how the heroine understood the main dude by the end. Even being a super badass would suck if no one knew about it...> You spoke with Junpei for a while.  Well, wanna go back? So, out of curiosity I did count it out and it would be completely possible to get Academics maxed. On the 31st of August. If we spent every day, including this Thursday, doing nohing but getting Academics.  That's dumb, so of course we won't be doing that. I'd rather do things. Silence I apologize for the interruption, but do you have a moment? Coming... The Chairman will be here tonight. We'll meet on the 4th floor as usual. That's all.Well, uh, the last time that Mitsuru came around like this was when Koromaru joined the party... Iwatodai Dorm I wanna be that badass someday! If they keep playing the same movies, I swear I'll go see them, like, ten times.> Junpei is not interested in seeing any other movies. Dangit Junpei, do your homework already. Don't just watch Die Hard on loop all day!  The elementary school children who took a bicycle trip around Japan have returned. The kids are tanned and happy, and their families are overcome with joy to have them back...  I will relax until then. Do you have any suggestions on how to relax, Makoto-san? Let's go to the movies. The... movies? I see... So going out is considered to be relaxing. too. Then let us go and relax. When The Moon's Reaching Out Stars / Way of Life Oh, great, we're gonna be watching a Naruto movie... Does this refer to opposing platoons of ninjas on the screen? According to Junpei-san... "Ninjas are the coolest of the cool!" I would've been more surprised if Aigis' scene didn't end with us gaining Academics, honestly. That said...  Ninja is the ultimate status that a man can achieve. In combat. the power of their body is equivalent that of highly advanced special weapons. They were war machines, with unparalleled fighting skill. ...... Was it an ice age? ...... Perhaps the proliferation of the Internet? ...... An enigma I may never resolve... Thank you very much for today. ...... That was a humorous joke.> You decided to go back to the dorm with Aigis. Of course, Aigis learns weird, awkward, bad habits... Troubled   You must be kidding... After running several tests, we've learned that he has more then adequate potential. I called this meeting so that I could introduce him, since he'll be joining our squad. B-But Mr. Chairman, he's still in elementary school. Besides... Besides... what? His ability is quite promising. With the proper training, he could be a big help. But, is HE okay with it? I believe I can be of some assistance... Now, I finally know why I was given this power. ...So, as you can see, it was his own decision. Nice to meet you all. I'll try not to get in anyone's way. Nice to meet you, too. ...... It may be hard at times, but stick with it. Yes, got it!Something was obviously gonna happen, but... really? We really have Ken joining SEES now? Can he even fight? Iwatodai Dorm His age worries me, though... We will need to keep a close eye on him. He is quite brave for his age. When I was in elementary school, I was a real scaredy cat. I used to cry and run away when a bee would come near me.Ikutsuki telling us about himself as a crybaby child is really weird.  I promise to do my best. He's young. but he thinks like an adult. ...... ...Yeah, so, the Omega Spear we're using is meant to be Ken's weapon. But spears are too good for Ken, so we're using them.  Really...? That's unusual... Yeah, it's not as easy to handle as a sword... I wonder why he chose that. Most likely because of his size. A spear evens out the disadvantage he might have against a taller enemy. That makes sense. I'm not surprised Ken-kun thought of that. If he sticks with me, I'll show him how it's done! He can call me Junpei-senpai. Stop acting like a little kid... Ken-kun's more mature than you are. They make quite a pair. Junpei-kun is the silly older brother, and Ken-kun is the reliable younger brother.I... really, REALLY can't see it. Yeah, Ken couldn't ask for a cooler older bro than me! Oh, right... Since he's not in any clubs, this is his first chance to be a senpai.Koromaru's too busy today hanging out with Ken to go for a walk or anything, so we'll need to find something to do. I guess we could go to Tartarus to see what Ken can do, or whatever, but nah.  We'll hang out with Mutatsu and see this for the first time. It's so nice to finally have.  Pretty sure it just saved us an extra day of having to spend time without a rank up too. Thanks, Eligor!  Since we won't quite get max Academics by the end of the month, it'll still take a bit of time later.  That's really not a big deal, though, and something we can easily work around. Troubled Next year, I'll be a senior... Huh? That girl... Uh, w-well... I mean, I'm surprised you remember me. Same here... Well, you kinda stand out in that dress... So... What are you drawing? Uhh, no reason... I was just thinking, it must be nice to have something you're really into. Oh, yeah? ...Still, I'd like to see it when you're done, okay? ...... Iwatodai Dorm A kid's resolve can be much stronger than an adult's... ...... But on the day of the show, the audience was completely empty. It seems most of the ticket-holders had contracted Apathy Syndrome...  ...I'll do my best as a SEES member.I'm sure you will, kid. I'm sure you will.  ...Just kidding.dangit aigis  Although he's still a child... Every year, I wish I'd finished my homework in July, but somehow I never actually do it... But I bet Junpei hasn't even started. He can beg all he wants, but I'm not gonna let him copy off mine.Oh wait hang on, I nearly forgot!  Much better; there's that problem solved.  I think he wasn't sure how to bring it up... ...But I'm glad he's looking better now. Wanna go to the film festival? You want to go with me? ...Sure, that sounds fun. I was actually thinking about going, because the theme today seems interesting. This will be fun! When The Moon's Reaching Out Stars / Way of Life So the last time I passed by this theater, I asked the ticket clerk. He said, "It's a science fiction story that could really happen." Maybe it's just me, but I'm not very interested in movies Where people travel in time or cast spells... I'd rather see movies that make you think, "10 years down the road. this could happen." Like the way everything around you gets more and more high-tech. That's my favorite kind of SF... Oh, sorry! I got a little carried away... We still haven't seen the movie yet. I hope we can get good seats. Oddly, this is a Charm boost. Yeah, I dunno. Did you see that iron!? It got rid of wrinkles on their clothes in half a second... To get that much heat out of an iron so quickly, you'd probably have to keep it charged... Though it wouldn't have to be with electricity... It could be a gas hybrid... Or maybe they have a totally new energy source... but how would they power the iron with it?Fuuka really sure does care way too much about a small, minor background deal at best. ...... *gasp* S-Sorry! The movie got me all excited, so... I got carried away thinking about it. ...Let's see another movie together sometime.> You decide to go back to the dorm with Fuuka. Iwatodai Dorm As expected, The Lost are increasing in number.We're still not entirely ready for whatever's coming up at the start of September here, but we'll get to that sooner or later.  There's going to be a full moon soon. I hope you are prepared to be busy again. This enables him to compensate for his small stature and fight bigger enemies. Indeed, a spear is the perfect weapon for Amada-san. He must be having a hard time with Ken-kun fighting in the battles...Fortunately for both of them, we've had a whole zero fights since Ken joined yesterday. Akihiko-senpai is very kind, which is difficult to tell from his appearance. Its hit rate is high, but the amount of damage it does is minimal. I have to attack enemies little by little... So, please don't get mad if it takes me a long time to defeat them.If it takes that long to take care of anything, something has gone wrong.  That's for you to discover. Yeah, you're right... I have to discover it on my own...It's weird seeing Junpei get this introspective, not because it's Junpei or anything. We've seen before that he can definitely do that with the right motivation. No, what makes it weird is that this is clearly related to the gothic lolita from Strega that he's seen twice ever.  I don't know what's gotten into him, but... ...he should really be concentrating on his homework. Can you do it? I'm your man. Good. I'm counting on you. It occurs to me that after this, we've gone with more than half of everyone here. Just Yukari, Mitsuru and now Ken to go with us on a walk with Koromaru. Joy  I'm thinking about trying my own all-night movie marathon now... I'll rent DVDs of all the movies I missed out on, and watch them all back-to-back. That's the kind of thing you can only do on summer vacation.Personally, that's the kind of thing I could never do - summer or otherwise - so more power to ya, I guess. > You spoke with Fuuka for a while.  I should let him in the bath with me when we get back.That sounds like a really bad idea, but what do I know.  The nice thing about nearly having maxed Academics is that very soon it means we're basically guaranteed to have a borderline perpetual Great status for Makoto at least. The Voice Someone Calls Makes sense that Pharos'd turn up at this point, since we do have a week 'til the full moon and all.   Are you ready...? Only a few trials remain... ...So, be careful. I look forward to seeing you again.> Pharos disappeared...  If we didn't have more movie stuff to probably deal with now, we might be a bit at a loss for what to do today. Might. Iwatodai Dorm Tanaka's selling a very nice accessory today, though! We can actually buy this from Be Blue V already, and have been able to for a while, but it's worth buying from Tanaka since it's roughly half the normal price. Plus it's Ice Amp in an accessory, and why would you NOT want that? Sure, it doesn't stack with the actual Amp passive but we can't get any Amp skills directly for a while still.  He'd better get started on that homework, or he'll be in trouble. As for me, I'm all done now! Time for some fun! With so many films on one ticket, the price ended up being very low. Is Iwatodai the only place that holds festivals like this?  It sure seems like this is something that's pretty much required in ...And now, the news. The Apathy Syndrome that's becoming more widespread...  It's inevitable when one has a month off that there will be at least one day with a clear schedule.I... I have to question your definition of a "month off" if it consists of one free day. Hmm... What should I do? Wanna go to the movies? Hm... the movies... I just remembered that I received VIP tickets from a distributor... ...I think I'll make use of them. All right, let's go. When The Moon's Reaching Out Stars / Way of Life It should be an interesting experience. Shall we enter? Once again, completely expected from Mitsuru but given "romance movies" it'd be understandable if you thought it was Charm.  Isn't it quite a coincidence for the man to find her, when he had no idea where she was? And why would he wait until the last moment to announce that he's secretly a prince? And the ending... It stopped right when the prince and the woman settled down. But what about after that? If they had shown the real life of royalty, I assure you it wouldn't have been a happy ending. They didn't show the most difficult parts. ...I'm sorry. I shouldn't be so critical of the movie you wanted to see With me. I suppose I enjoyed it on some level, since I was able to relate to the characters so strongly.> Mitsuru seems a little embarrassed. > You decided to go back to the dorm with Mitsuru. Iwatodai Dorm Those people--"The Lost"... They've been increasing... I wish there was something I could do.Wait 6 days and you might be able to. Someone definitely will get to then, at least.  More important today is that we can spend the evening with Koromaru and Mitsuru! Joy It must be something akin to a hometown for him... Today's movie did have its charms. ...Does it seem out of character for me to say something like that?> You spoke quietly with Mitsuru...  Well then, let's go home. There's really not much left to this. I'm pretty we sure we definitely finished our summer homework that apparently exists a while back by now.  Welp, last day before summer ends. I'm sure something nice'll happen today. Troubled That's because you keep coming back. I'm Junpei. What's your name? You live around here?Rather than answer though, she closes her sketchbook and gets up to leave.  I said, "Wait"! You're hurt! But, you're bleeding, for cryin' out loud! C'mon, show me your hand. You need to put some pressure on it. Why are you in such a panic? Are you crazy? Anyone would freak out over this. You need to see a doctor. ...You want me to go with you? ...... ...You're weird. Huh? That's my name. You asked, right, Junpei? ...I'm almost done with the picture.  Unless it's literally a Rorschach test or something, then even Junpei will technically understand it. Sorta. He'll be able to figure out some interpretation of it at least. Iwatodai Dorm I've only ever seen employee previews before... I've never had a chance to see a movie start to finish before.That is... really weird. Not quite the weirdest thing I've heard before, but it's not exactly normal either. I'm sorry about all the extra attention we got because of my VIP tickets... Anyway, thank you for inviting me. Children will return to school tomorrow for a new term. To get rid of those sad faces, we suggest...  Well, since it's the last day... I was wondering if you had any plans. I-I was just curious. It's no big deal...There's really no need to be tsundere over summer plans of all things. Jeez. ...You want to go to the movies? S-Sure! When The Moon's Reaching Out Stars / Way of Life Oh, I wouldn't have recognised it then. Still need to finish Harakiri Sunshine first. Err... I-I wasn't really looking forward to this, you understand... I was just bored, and I thought it would pass the time. Oh no! It's starting! Quick, we gotta get good seats!Seriously, kid. Drop the schtick, it's not working for you.  Oh! Did you see the part where Amoebaman gets captured!? And, and the part where he was in that underground prison, but Morus Signal came to help! And they had him tied up, and the bad guys were about to shoot him, but then the whole team--! ...Ahem. ...... I'm more of a fan of Red Axe personally, but I can totally see the appeal. B-But it's all just fake... ...Hee hee. I had a lot of fun. Thank you very much for inviting me along.> You decided to go back to the dorm with Ken. Iwatodai Dorm I think this goes without saying, but please make sure you're prepared.We're still not really prepared. Gotta do more Tartarus first, but we're still not gonna do that juuuuust yet.  Well, it has powerful light abilities. Which means it is weak against darkness skills, like Mudo.Fittingly, then, Ken covers the last magical niche we were missing. Technically, we have all elements covered outside of Makoto in some way now. It's a little bit of a stretch for Pierce in particular, but Junpei can do it sorta so it's not just "well some people do it as a basic attack."  He probably gave up on finishing his homework...Unless he really thinks he can get it all done in one night...  She's definitely a weirdo...In-universe, Junpei is the only person here who's even met Chidori AND knows her name for good measure. To me, she seems like the least weird out of all three members of Strega, but that's not saying much.  But that's all we've got tonight. Nothing noteworthy to do on Monday nights, except Tartarus and pfft that can wait a bit. First, we gotta go back to school. Well, it's been long enough and this'll give us back our S.Link variety so it's not really a bad thing. I guess. Speaking of Tartarus, we'll should go deal with that in the next few days. That means we should have time to deal with it next time.  Yukari's, well, the same as before which makes sense. Her stats are still pretty high, but without anything better than Garu, both available and currently visible, she's rapidly falling behind.  Junpei is falling behind faster, but that's pretty much entirely because I can't be arsed grinding folks on free days and whenever we're done with a real run. Thanks to EXP scaling though, this should fix itself if it matters.  Akihiko's in a simpilar position, but debuffs are always useful so he's a bit better than it seems. Plus his next skill is Zionga which helps with his bottomed out damage potential.  Mitsuru's a one-woman wrecking machine. If something can't be hurt by Ice OR Ailments, she's still good support and can even be self-sustaining. Plus next she's gonna get Tentarafoo just to make large groups of enemies a bigger non-issue as well. Plus, y'know, those Varuna Bracers are a really good choice for Mitsuru right now for obvious reasons.  Aigis is good at tanking and can buff to mitigate damage across the board. Her damage isn't bad either, and she's a level away from getting significantly better; Fatal End is Slash damage with a base power of 230. That's more than Kill Rush at its best or 2/3rds of Swift Strike's potential damage. Only "downside" is that it hits a single target.  Koromaru is like one level higher than before, but that's it. He's pretty much fine at what he needs to do, though.  Compared to our past couple new party members, Ken is a bit underwhelming. He's not a robo-tank like Aigis, or the best at dodging AND eating damage like Koromaru but he lets us get more spears (most import is Nihil Spears!) so he's got that going for him at least.  He's also a sorta-generalist like Akihiko, but he's lacking in debuffs. He can use Hama for instant death, Cruel Attack for potent Pierce damage (especially on Downed targets) and Zionga to compete with Akihiko for Elec coverage. Notably, he's one level away from Diarama to cover healing a bit as well. Oddly, he only has two more skills to learn after that. Same deal as usual, though this time we'll shake things up a little bit:  Which TWO members of SEES do you want to come to Tartarus?

It's nice that it makes updates not take an eternity to transcribe a lot of stuff manually (despite using 2 different scripts, they still miss a lot out of FES stuff), but boy howdy does it not like things like punctuation or words or the letters I and L in particular.

I'm sure you know what you're doing, but I'm a milquetoast stat-spreader who would never hit Strongly Agree or Strongly Disagree on any surveys and probably will never max any stats properly cause I gotta have that spread... As to maxing a stat "wasting time", you really want to max your stats as fast as possible. Not only does it open up more Social Links, but it also allows you more free time later in the game, when everything plot-gated is open to you and you have the most trouble with scheduling. Not to mention, if you're going for a max Social Link run from a plain New Game file, scheduling is really tight, with very little room for variation. I don't know if that's what Dragonatrix is doing, but he does seem to have a plan for what's going on.

 Well, it's time again to take a brief romp through an alternative universe. That's always fun!  And we'll be starting things off with two real, full days of things. I know, I'm surprised too! New Days    Remember Persona 4? Of course you do. You wouldn't be playing this if you didn't play that one first! It was the first game in the series after all.  ...Hyperbole aside, there is absolutely no reason for this to even be a thing really. It's such a lazy hamfisted thing (P4 did the same too, but at least made it semi-relevant but not really) that I just have to roll my eyes. And I would still be doing the same thing if this was, say, Seven Sisters instead, yes. Difference is that won't happen because that involves acknowledging Persona 1 and 2 exist outside of cutesy references, whereas Persona 4 is/was milkable for easy money, so people who played that can get the "reference." And, hey, that's fine. Everyone's gotta start somewhere, and all, but the Persona 1/2 stuff is incidental background details that are optional. The Persona 4 stuff is plot mandatory and cannot be missed, and it's not a cute little sneak preview thing either... I realise I'm almost certainly more eye-rollingly annoyed by this than it warrants, and you almost certainly don't care anywhere near as much. If it was less in-your-face about it, I probably wouldn't be as bothered by it really. > A joint practice with the students at this school is scheduled for today and tomorrow...   There's no convenience stores nearby, and no clubs either. I want all of you to be on your best behavior, okay?Gekkoukan Students: It's a pleasure to meet you. Yasoinaba Students: It's a pleasure for us too!   Might as well try going all the way to the mountains for our runs. Our region's pretty flat, so this'll be good practice.Yasoinaba Students: ...Aren't we supposed to like, bond in a fellowship? Why's she bringing up stuff like basic drills...? Gekkoukan Students: Who's the liar who said that this'd be a paradise with hot springs...? Afterwards, let's do a couple sets of muscle training, and then a match.Girl's Voice: How about... the losing side cleans up afterwards?    Anyways, wouldn't you guys take the challenge more seriously if there was something at stake? That's true. It's not like you guys usually care about winning anyways, so why not? ...Are you saying that's how our team is? Well, maybe you're right. Alright, then not only will the losing school have to clean up... let's add 10 wind sprints to the bet!Gekkoukan Students: It's up to 10...!? Yasoinaba Students: We can't lose...!   Okay, time for the sprints, then! ...Me too? Of course. This was your idea. Yes, Ma'am...> The fellowship ended without any problems...   Wanna wash each other's backs later? Sounds like fun. This is so fun! Last year's fellowhop wasn't too far from our school. This place is so laid back... I love it. That shopping district seems pretty lively, though. What a peaceful town... It'd be nice to live here.> At that moment, a girl noticed you and came over...   The Amagi Inn sent me to get you. Huh? Oh, th-thank you very much. Um... You don't work there, do you? So, yeah, almost the entire reason this exists is for this one cameo that adds nothing and if it was removed you wouldn't miss it. It was mentioned in-thread already, but if you're playing Portable as Makoto instead, then you get a clunkily added Persona 4 reference at the Yakushima beach. So, y'know, it is always mandatory and there's nothing you can do about it. Why? Because Persona 4 is popular or something, I guess. The hostess's daughter... So does that make you a junior hostess? Cool! Oh, are you in high school? No... I'm still in middle school. You're in middle school and you're already helping with the family business...? Man, talk about responsible... So are you going to inherit the business? That... I don't know yet.Remember how in P4 this was a core part of her character? Well, this is pretty much the equivalent to an anime filler scene so we can't have anyone have a different personality trait. She was conflicted when she was 16 and it sort of mattered, so she's gotta be conflicted when she was 14 and it didn't. ...Hey, don't stick your nose in other people's business! Yes, Ma'am... Sorry. People are always telling me I''m nosy... Oh, that's all right... It's fun chatting with people from outside town... Oh, Kasai-san. Car keys...? Why would I... Huh? What's this?> Yukiko pulled something from her pocket... > ...It seems to be car keys.  Kimono-Clad Woman: No worries. Well, I'm heading out to get some groceries. Oh, do you want me to go instead?Kimono-Clad Woman: N-No, that's fine! No need to send you on that kind of errand, Yuki-chan! Plus, they'd be too heavy for you... By the way, Chie-chan stopped by. She said she needed help with her homework. Oh, okay.Kimono-Clad Woman: ...Oh, are you all guests? Forgive me for ramblng on like that. I'm a waitress at the Amagi Inn. I hope you enjoy your stay tonight. > The waitress left... I'm sorry about the wait. Shall we go? This way please. Like A Dream Come True  So huge... So luxurious... Is it really okay for people like us to stay here? Won't we get a scolding? From who? Huh? Umm... The government? ...And hey, this isn't your room, Yuko. Yeah, about that! You gotta hear this! Kaz... You mean Kazushi? Wait, he's here too? ...Huh? Wasn't Kazushi supposed to take part in the tournament? I was supposed to stay behind... to sort of look after him. He's injured, so we're trying a hot-springs cure! I'm gonna get the most out of this trip by clearing up my skin, too! Huh... ...Wait. Did you say you were in the same room? Kazushi... is a guy, right? Ms. Kanou's assigned the rooms, right? What the hell was she thinking? Just stay in our room. Man, I owe you for offering. If I couldn't sleep here I would've had to sleep out in the hall. ...Er, I mean I'd have kicked Kaz out into the hall, of course. By the way, Kazushi's injured...? Is he okay? No, it's pretty bad. That's why we're relying on the hot-springs cure... He's such an idiot! A total dumbass! He got me so worried! ...Sounds like you two are perfect for each other. What? You gotta be jok-- Wait, what time is it? Oops, it's time for Kaz's medication. Well, see you later! She's kinda like... a mom. Though I know she'd hate it if I told her so.> After taking a bath with everyone, you lazily talked about random things on the futon...  What, like boyfriends? Yep, exactly! Well... I'd be confessing my love if there was anyone I really liked. I'd prefer a thin guy, but he'd have to be athletic... And there's no one at our school who fits that description.Yeah, uh, without Makoto there that's mostly true it seems like. Of course, that's still sorta one... What about Kazushi? No way. ..... Uhh, but I do have this feeling... This is just an if, okay? IF Kaz and me don't end up finding someone for a long time... That, uh... that sure is a thing that can totally definitely just sorta kinda happen by accident. Yep. Ack, what should I do!? What kind of premonition is that...? I mean, he's completely useless without me. There's no way he'll even remember where he keeps his underwear. Imagine him getting old all alone and eating nasty convenience store food every day! It's just so sad! That's quite an imagination. ...So, what about you, Kotone-san? You've got someone you like, right? Yep. Oooh! Who!? It's Akihiko-sempai. The really popular guy, right? Wow, you beat the odds! ...Oh, but you guys live in the same dorm, don't you? So you have an advantage over everyone else.Trust me, it really doesn't help. Well, if you put your mind to it, I'm sure it'll work out! You two seem like you're having fun... I really don't get that sort of thing... Ugh, I don't want to think any more about a future with Kaz. Hmm, that's fine with me, but I don't scare easily. ...I do know a lot of stores, though. Let's hear 'em... Although the way you say that is already giving me goosebumps. O-One sec!> Yuko left the room...  Just shut it! Hey guys, I brought him!> Yuko dragged your classmate Kazushi into the room...  It's okay. Just stay here, all right? ...Okay, Rio. Do your worst. Is he your good luck charm? N-No! I just... wanted him here. A future with Kaz, eh? No no, I never said that! You're supposed to tell scary stories with four people! That's the rules! C'mon... Hurry up and let's go in order! ...Alright, I'll go first. This story's about the tunnel we passed through today...  Ack, don't choke me! Get off! You're stepping on my foot, too!The lights come back on. Whew... The lights are back... Wh-Where's the phone!?> Yuko started calling somewhere... Hello, front desk? Um, about the blackout just now... There... ..... Oh, thanks... What're we gonna do!? That was a real supernatural phenomenon... Lights always turn on and off, though. Are you an idiot!? The fact that they went out without anyone touching them means...! Ughhh, let's just stop talking about it! I'm pretending that never happened!> ..... > The remote for the lights is on the ground near your feet...  > ..... > You decide to keep quiet about this... > A noisy, but fun, night passes...  New Days Well, thanks a bunch for all your help. We'll remember what we learned here and keep trying our hardest.Gekkoukan Students: Thank you very much! Yasoinaba Students: Have a safe trip back.  Yeah... I just didn't get any sleep... I saw... people's faces in the walls... You're just exaggerating... Want me to give you a piggyback ride if you're not feelin' well? ...You moron! Your leg's hurt! What're you talking about!? I'd rather give you a piggyback ride! Haha. See? You're exaggerating again. Oh, thanks for taking the time to come see us off. She said she saw people's faces showing up in the inns's walls. Ack, you idiot! Oh, you saw them too? There's always a few at old inns, so there's no need to worry. Always... a few? That was definitely not a joke... C'mon, let's go home. Well, then I must part here. Please have a safe trip back.> Yukiko left... She... came over here just to... ???? and then leave. I really don't follow this.  I mean, she was real cute... Maybe she was the one! Really cute girls are ghosts? That's all the proof I need to know you're human. What? Say that again to my face! Hey, stop tryin' to step on my foot! ...Oh, that reminds me. I got a call about the tournament a moment ago. Oh no, no Niimura! ...wait, who's Niimura? Not only that, they couldn't find him at his house, either. Does... that mean he's missing!? Did he run away from home? Maybe he was freaked out about the competition? ..... Or, wait... Is it because of that Apathy Syndrome thing...? No idea... hopefully he shows up soon. He was a great guy... Yeah... ...A-Anyways, let's go home! C'mon, let's do our clap and put this to bed! Why're you the one leading the clap...?> And so, the joint practice trip came to an end... Iwatodai Dorm Were there any cute girls at their school? There was one beautiful girl.There's no "no" answer. Even though we never actually saw anyone that wasn't that one cameo. Seriously!? Man, I should've gone with you guys. Is that all you ever think about...? I mean, the moon's almost full. You shouldn't be joking around like that. Yeah, next Thursday, the 6th. Make sure you're ready.We're not skipping all that far ahead, right now. We do have some Tartarus stuff to do before we have to worry about the Chariot and Justice fight.  Namely, there's a couple more folks to rescue. This random lady on the nicest floor...  And then this random schmuck on floor 83. That's it for these guys.  And our rewards for bothering to rescue them are... sorta useful, I guess. Divine Grace is a theoretically nice skill, since it doubles the amount of HP that (Me)Dia(rama) heals. It doesn't have long-term use, of course, but it can be nice to have.  Nothing's different about the full moon, of course, so we'll skip past that and go hang out with Theo. Third Date With Theo Joy  I see... I'm sensing mysterious presences here... They're different from the Shadows. See, there's one behind you...> ...Behind you!?  Now then... The first order of business is to worship at the shrine, correct? Give it a try. I think I will. You can watch from right there. First, I put the coins in this wooden box...> Theo pulled out a wallet while saying so. > .....!?  It's a bit disappointing that Theo repeats this bit from Liz, but it sorta makes sense. After which I must immediately swing the rope... Lastly, I call out my wish... ...... ...Hmm. This isn't good... I'm drawing a blank on what to wish for. But it would be improper not to call out a wish... ..... > Theo began praying enthusiastically...  I wish that my dear friend Kotone remains... .....> Theo fell silent...  W-Would you perhaps mind... not listening? It's odd, I admit, but for some reason I don't feel comfortable knowing that you're listening...> Theo is mumbling... > ...Theo seems to have concluded the ritual by whispering his wish. Everything will be all right now. You'll be protected for all eternity. Do you intend to pray for anything? For the worlds' safety. > You put your hands together and prayed. ...It isn't mandatory to call out one's wish? If that's so, then why didn't you... Well, never mind. Excuse me... I've been wondering since our arrival, but these structures over here... Could these be...?> Theo is gazing at the park built near the shrine.  Is this... a house? You play with them. You... play with them...? ..... Play...!? H-How does it work?> Theo's eyes are glistening...  I-Is it like this? And like this!> Theo eagerly stood on top of the horizontal bar... It's... quite difficult... to maintain... one's balance... on these... It takes practice. S-So I see.> Theo is desperately trying to keep his balance... > .....? > Theo jumped down. ...Why are you laughing like that? > You spent an invigorating afternoon with Theo. Thank you for a fulfilling afternoon today as well. ..... I must let you go home soon... But... ..... I wonder what this is... I don't... understand either. ..... ...Let us return. Ah, we're approaching the stairs. Please mind your step...> You returned to the Velvet Room with Theo. EndAt least Theo's still pretty fun and uniquely interesting in a way. Next we're skipping ahead a week to after Koromaru's joined the gang.  Which means that we can finally put this Dog Food we made, for some reason, to good use! After School > Koromaru seems happy... Wait! .....> Koromaru is waiting patiently... .....> Koromaru is waiting patiently... *whine*> ...You're starting to feel sorry for him. > You gave into his pitiful look and gave him the "okay"... Arf!> Koromaru began eating while wagging his tail! *munch* *munch*> Koromaru keeps eating... It's delicious, huh? Woof! > Koromaru is still eating... Arf...> Koromaru has finished eating and seems satisfied... Paw-five! Arf.> Koromaru put his front paw on your hand... > ...He seems a bit proud. > Koromaru doesn't seem cautious about you... It seems he's gotten quite attached to you. > You sense a faint bond with Koromaru...  Instead of getting a S.Link with Yuko, Kotone gets to hang out with Koromaru. This is the best S.Link. The best.  > Koromaru is stretching contentedly... > You spent a peaceful moment with Koromaru... Silence Next thing of note is that summer festival. That's certainly something, alright. No thanks. Aww, alright. Oh well... See ya. Sure! All right, then I'll see you later.> You have decided to go to the Summer Festival with Akihiko.  After School > The shrine is filled with people eating food and playing games.  There's a lot of people too... Make sure you don't get separated, okay? I'll be okay! Haha, don't be mad. I wasn't trying to treat you like a little kid. Now, let's go pay a visit to the shrine first.> Akihiko seems to be having fun...  You didn't have to wear a yukata here, you know? Oh, er... I didn't mean... well, um... It... makes it hard to look directly at you. ..... > It seems Akihiko is very happy to see you wearing it... ...Something smells good. Takoyaki, huh... Wanna share one? It's my treat. Excuse me, one takoyaki please. Takoyaki Cook: Say, is this your girlfriend? Ahh, the good ol' days of youth.  ...uh, that sure is a surprisingly angry reaction  Oh... Um... .....> Akihiko quietly put a takoyaki in his mouth. .....!> It seems to have been hot...  But I came out victorious in the end. Here, eat up.> You shared the takoyaki with Akihiko as he egged you on to dig in... > You walked around the different shops together...  It's not super easy to see, but the Master Joker masks are still there. As are the Phoenix Rangers. 500 yen, huh...? I can actually afford these now. ...They were too expensive for me to buy when I was a kid. When I came to festivals, I'd just wander around and go home because I couldn't buy anything. Now I actually have the money... Game Attendant: All you do is pick a ball! It's easy! And everyone's a winner! Lucky Draw, huh...? I've always doubted whether it's really possible to win the stuff on display. Give it a try, Kotone. I'll pay for it.> You stuck your hand inside the big box that the game attendant held out to you... > The box is filled with individually numbered balls... > You stirred the balls around before picking one out. Game Attendant: Whoa! Congratulations!  Game Attendant: Here's your prize. It's a Jack Frost Doll! > Obtained Jack Frost Doll It would've been amazing if you'd won first place... Though I'd hate for you to use up all your luck here, of all places. Oh, you're the one who drew the win, so the prize is yours. ...I'm saying that you can have it.> The sky is covered in darkness. It's completely dark out. Looks like we've been here for quite a while. I had fun taking a breather today. ...Thank you.> You decided to go back to the dorm. And we'll take a bit of a break ourselves here. I didn't think that'd be needed for August, but alas...
