[ hien really just went "i killed a guy" and moved on and yosuke just kind of has to blink and move on. sure. fine. he knew this, kind of, about him. things happen. and then he's talking about tentacles and there's the briefest thoughtshare flash of a different monster.

da hael... ]

Sounds about as chaotic as the rest of these things, including but not limited to tentacles and random compulsions.
I'm glad Sylus and Lucien were with you, but what a mess.
And as usual... we don't know what the purpose was.
Other than apparently terrorizing you guys.

"I didn't even get to find out what the treasure was--"

[ His mind is being assaulted by tentacles. Good lord. ]

"... What was that."

[aerodynamic]

[ "maybe the real treasure was coming back..."

but he shrugs. ]

Something I fought with on our expedition. Sorry, you reminded me of that, I have to wonder where the similarities start and stop.

[selfconcept]

"If it's similarities, I keep hearing of the trend that I'm in all of these one way or another. It bothers me..."

[ ... ]

"Is this world making fun of me."

[aerodynamic]

[ the extremely long pause of a teenager who doesn't want to tell hien that this particular monster was actually puppeting his body and made yosuke fight for it, actually. ]

I think it's probably this world's way of proving how many bonds you've made with all of us here, since these things are meant to test us.

[ Hien just looks at Yosuke like... is he the persona protagonist..................... no, not that much fourth wall leaning, but Hien seems... ]

"... I'm just here."

[ ??????????????? ]

[aerodynamic]

[ he could be. ]

Dude I can't control how people feel about you.

[selfconcept]

"But I can."

[ Yosuke might be getting the feeling that he probably doesn't mean that as an organic interaction sort of thing. ]

"... Anyway, thanks for listening. You came to check up on me, and I'm mostly fine."

[aerodynamic]

[ yeah, he's sort of staring for a few moments before he slowly nods. right. fair enough, maybe. ]

It's not a big deal. Of course I would.
Mostly fine is about what we can hope for.

[ he does finally step back to give him a little space. ]

Sticking around here for a while then?

[selfconcept]

[ Hien reaches out to affectionately ruffle Yosuke's hair. ]

"Yeah. I think reading a few books will help keep my mind occupied."

[ Despite receiving his trauma from a book. ]

[aerodynamic]

[ tailwagging energy in effect. ]

Not the worst idea. I'm not much of a reader but if you need recs I can probably figure it out.

[ but otherwise he will just hang for a little longer and then leave hien when an appropriate amount of time has passed. he mostly wanted to check in on him but he understands needing the space to decompress, too. ]
