☆ 003: Private Show ☆ "Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please."

Characters: (Closed) Rise Kujikawa and Yu Narukami
Setting: Floor 32; SUPER backdated to the beginning of December (around the 7th, probably?)
Format: Whatever Twi picks when she tags me. XD
Summary: Rise goes looking for her Senpai after Yu offers to explain Strega things and other P3-related info that she might not know yet, after she kinda-sorta-TOTALLY-accidentally stepped on a landmine while talking with Strega!Ken. (>_<。)
Warnings: Nope, none.



[She's still feeling kinda guilty about how that conversation with Ken went down. Okay, more than just kinda--she really hadn't meant to offend him, or bring up all those terrible memories. She'd just wanted to help. Really!

Part of her still wants to be a little angry that he had gotten so angry, but her guilt far outweighs that self-righteous impulse, soundly smothering it. He was just a kid, after all, and he'd had it really rough, way worse than she or any of her friends. They might not have had it totally easy either, and they all knew painfully well what loneliness felt like, but still... Even Naoto-kun, whose parents had both died while she was young, still had her grampa and that butler guy (Yakushiji-san, if she'd heard his name right); Ken hadn't had anyone.

Rise was usually pretty sensitive about how people were feeling, but it was a lot harder to do that over the computer, even if video equipment was involved. She'd clearly missed some really vital cues...which had led to things ending up pretty tense. So when Yu had suggested meeting up to explain Ken's situation a little more and hopefully comfort her a little as well ;^; she'd leapt at the offer.

Which was why she was currently wandering on the Forest Floor, looking for her Senpai. Not that he was making himself hard to find, because she found him within the first five minutes of setting foot on that floor, even without access Kanzeon's power.]


Hey, Senpai.

[Her greeting is notably more subdued than usual, but she still smiles at him as she joins Yu in gathering firewood. She doesn't feel the need to say anything more; he knows why she's here already, and that's enough.]

[To be honest, he's just amazed he survived it out of sheer stubbornness. Yet he can't bring himself to completely regret it, because he made some friends in that hell... and he can't regret those bonds. He sure as hell will wonder about his judgement forever, though.

Part of him is relieved she isn't asking yet, because he knows how red his hands are. She doesn't need to know right this second (more like he doesn't know if he could risk admitting it again, and dammit shadow self don't even think about coming out again next fog he will say it when he's ready), but he will reassure her of something else. He's fine now. He had to start facing this new aspect of himself a while ago (in front of a certain goddess, no less). It is or will be fine.

He places his hand beside hers, palm up and open. It's enough to say he trusts her still, and likely with his mistakes later, if she'll trust him still.]


It's almost ironic... I still worry more for the little kids who went through that hell more.

[They were around Nanako's age... and that's saying something. Yet for some reason, he smirks a bit to himself. As if there was a part of that memory that made the pain worth it.]

...Did anyone ever mention what happened to one of the administrators when three of the ones under their care revolted against them?

[Rise should know that look. It's the look of "May have gone through Hell, but damn if we didn't punch out Cthulhu."]
