Various Floors -> Incinerator
[After watching people’s reactions and the aftermath to the modifications, Minato felt, not for the first time, powerless. As the leader of SEES in his dead world, as a friend, he disliked being powerless. Every time he feel like that, he would go out and try to do things.

But first, he needed to collect the garbage on various floors and bring them to the incinerator on Floor 55. The mess from the modifications and how people acted probably contributed to the litter around.]

Floor 75 – A tower in a tower
[This floor has become Minato’s favoured training ground. While other floors offered more varied locations, fighting inside a tower like this, with monsters crawling around, was reassuringly familiar.

It’s almost like Tartarus again.

A click, a bang and one of his Personas came out to aid him in his training. With all the fighting he did so far and without access to the Velvet Room, his roster was severely stronger than they’re supposed to. If he can sit down and focus, he can see other possible Personas in his mind.

But without the Velvet Room’s assistance, they remained deeply buried in the sea of his soul. So close, yet so far from his reach.]

Cu Chulainn.

[With a voice, he summoned the warrior and joined his Persona in battle. Yelling them out, unless he’s in the heat of battle, would attract monsters to his location. He’s not completely reckless. Yet.]

Floor 12 – Projection
[After his training, Minato decided to return to the lower floors and rest up, maybe clean himself up in the bathroom later. But before he do, the young leader of SEES swinged by the twelfth floor.

Standing in the middle of the floor, he looked up and watch as the various worlds, planets, space stations--anything habited—destroyed one by one. And then the projection reset and show another world. Again and again, for quite a number of cycles.]

.. You mean there can't be rainbows in space? But there can be rainbows in the sky, right? And space is just.. [ .. ] the sky above the sky. [ Sounds legit. ]

We can see colours in space...but they're not the same as rainbows. [How about that?]

.. So they're.. spacebows.

[ MAKES SENSE, RIGHT. At least to Urotsuki it does. ]

...Yeah, spacebows.

[Sure, let's go with that.]

Although, you usually see them at night. [Unlike rainbows and their daytimes.]

I want to see them then. I'll stay here the entire time until I can see a spacebow, no matter how long it takes.

[ No, she's serious. Urotsuki really is the type who'll sit there for ages and possibly even starve to death if it takes long enough.. ]

That might be nice...but don't you need food? Or take a break?

[Like, uh, toilet breaks. But Minato won't mention that.]

I'll get food after I see one. [ Priorities. ]

Right now.. the spacebows are the most important. If only I could take a picture of them too..

You might have to wait a long time. It would be better to get food first before you come back and wait.

[Pictures? Hm.]

It would be nice to take a picture, but I don't have a camera on me.

Me neither.. [ She sighs a little, but it almost sounds dreamily. It's probably a byproduct of how weird she is. ] .. I don't know if I can take food all the way here though..

If it's something simple, or we have a container...a boxed lunch might work.

[~~bento yo~~]

.. Ah.. a boxed lunch might be nice. [ She idly nods to herself. ] I'd love to eat boxes lunches together with you..

[ SOMEHOW SHE INVOLVED HIM NOW. ]

[D'aw. He gives her a small smile.] I wouldn't mind eating boxed lunches with you. We can prepared them in the kitchen whenever we have the time.

[AW YEAH, BOXED LUNCHES IN HORROR TOWER.]

I've never made a boxed lunch for myself. [ Small setback. ] .. Do you know how to do it? You're probably an expert at making boxed lunches.

Yeah, I do. I'm not as good as my senpai, but I can make a decent boxed lunch.

[No one can really compared their skills to Shinjiro's cooking.]

If you don't mind, I can teach you.

.. You're the boxed lunches expert?

[ He just said he's not as good as others, Urotsuki..! But she still seems to assume it.. ]

...Not yet. Since I haven't practice as much as I like, but I'm good enough.

[But still, she's being cute, so he'll give it a pass.]

I'm sure you'll be able to become the expert with some practice. Besides, it might be fun practicing since there are always so many people in the kitchen to talk to.. [ She can know, since she harasses a lot of them (in the.. positive.. sense..) on a near daily basis. ]

Uh huh. Especially if they're friends of yours, or you can make new ones while cooking.

[He'd like that because...food.]

...What's your name?

It's Urotsuki. [ .. oh, wait, isn't she supposed to say something after that, now she remembers.. ]

Nice to meet you.

[ There's a nod rather than a bow. ]

I'm Minato Arisato.

[He smiles and hold out a hand to her. Shake?]

It's nice to meet you too.

Minato.. [ She repeats the name as if she's trying out the sound of it, but then nods. ]

It's a normal name. But I'll remember it.

It's a normal, everyday name, but it's mine.

[And he's a normal, average guy. If you ignore everything else in his life.]

And I'll remember yours, Urotsuki.
