015 | ❝A cold wind blows away...❞
Characters: Yu and You
Setting: Floor 48, 100, 96 ('cept not really), 84, 78, & 81
Format: I'll follow you
Summary: Time to explore the new floors, and come across new and old faces + memories. And to remember ones that disappeared.
Warnings: Possible P4 spoilers in comments. Also the fact feels are often a thing.
Floor 48
After stringing together Reno and Elena's wedding present, Yu had realized that there were still two left over. Maybe it was a good thing then, that he'd kept them in his trunk. Because when he woke up one morning, when he was listening to the voice at the back of his mind going through his social links... he noticed something.
Alice didn't feel as strong.
Before he realized it, he was heading down in the elevator (it was a longer ride than usual; he'd have to check the new floors later), and then the stairs to the graveyard. Soon he stopped at the long string of "Arisato" tombstones and noticed one in particular.
"...So you went back, after all."
His voice didn't really betray much, if anyone did hear him. Instead he merely stared down at the name and likely whispered a prayer of well-wishes and luck, however meaningless it may be, before silently placing a blue origami crane at the base of the stone.
'...I'm sorry, Thanatos. I couldn't help him like I promised you.'
It takes a moment, but eventually he pulls himself away to look for another name.
'...Legion.'
Floor 100
So it had been a few days, and he'd decided to explore some of the new floors instead of simply taking the elevator down to a floor close to his usual hangouts. So when he decided to simply take the stairs after the first dorm floor, he couldn't help but stop himself when he saw what Floor 100 became. It was...
Home...
Not just any part of Inaba, but the Dojima's living area. The shoe area, the small kitchen, the small dining table that ended up mostly used for either cooking or work Dojima-san brought home from work, and the little table and futon they'd sit at to watch TV together in the evenings when he and Nanako didn't have homework. It was all there, even down to the exact pattern on the floor cushions.
Yu stared at it in stunned silence for a moment, before he realized his hand went right through what, if this place were really the Dojima residence, would be a wall.
... After standing there for a few more moments to take the facts in, he simply turned and walked away. At least, if he wasn't approached.
Floor 96 (Not really an option, buuuut...)
He kept climbing down and, okay. Even at that blinding white he had to shield his eyes. Wha-?
...Oh. It's an empty room.
...
> You decide to leave it be.
Floor 84
...Oh, he loves this floor. He loves it so much that if he could stay the night in here without worrying the rest of his team, he probably would. You see, he found a camera while he was looking around. And it's kind of in his bag right now as he seems to be building something. And that something seems... kind of tall.
...Why does some of it look like legs with stitching on it? Well, you'll likely find out if you keep watching or ask while he climbs back down the ladder to get more materials. (Spoilers: It's likely someone most of the Tower hates.)
Floor 78
...Well, this is interesting. After all the madness of going through, trying to get gifts to people... now they think of adding a mail room? Well, it makes sense, but he's almost worried if he ends up receiving one and the "letters" begin anew.
Okay, maybe he'll stop being paranoid with Nanako and Adachi in the same helltower when pigs fly. Until then, he may just linger here for a moment.
Floor 81
So Yu stopped on the beginning of the fifth block before heading up again, deciding to be a bit more on the adventurous side to see just what was below. ...Damn, that's pretty high up and a lot of fog down below.
Yes, he can be someone to point out the obvious in a ridiculously dry humor sort of manner. He's just going to stare down and then above at the stars with his max courage stat... like a boss.

no subject
[In other words, pretty much adopted by his uncle and cousin, just not legally because his uncle is still scared shitless of his mom.]
...Huh. I wonder if it just shows us a place we miss?
[...There's got to be a catch, right?]
no subject
He bites his lower lip, then refocuses on the new floor.]
Looks to be the purpose. I guess if you got really homesick this floor would only dull the pain a little.
[He looks at his hand again.]
I don't know if staying here is a bad idea, though. This tower doesn't have very many sanctuaries. Usually there are monsters and traps.
no subject
the social link is not developed enoughhe decides against asking about it for now. It seems like a touchy subject, much like this floor could be.He nods faintly.]
If this is one of them, at least we can protect ourselves.
[You OK, dude?]
no subject
But he agrees, nodding. They may be unable to take on the tower admins, but so far intelligent planning and working together have helped thwart many of the lesser menaces.]
You're right.
[He'll be alright. He just has to get readjusted to tower life.]
no subject
...Haven't seen you around lately, now that I think about it.
[But then, he'd been gone for a bit himself...] Holding up alright?
no subject
[And there was nothing but rubble and darkness. Every life gone.]
no subject
[We don't talk about what he found at the end of the rail road tracks.]
no subject
no subject
...Yes.
no subject
Do you think it was real?
no subject
I don't know. [He's seen so many things, but what he felt when seeing their home like that again...] But if it is, there's no way I'm leaving it like that.
[It was their path that led to the truth to save their worlds. Like he was going to abandon that pursuit no matter how many times he slipped up.]
no subject
That's right. We might still be able to survive. We're not helpless.
