I'm not sure if it's the right word, to be honest.
Father passed away last year, a few months before I graduated. I was already almost 18, so the circumstances aren't the same.

[amperor]

[ No, it isn't the same as growing up an orphan, but - ]

I think that still counts. Especially if you're not close to your extended family... you're alone in the world, and you don't have anyone at easy reach for advice.

[girlybruiser]

I guess you are right. I don't have any other relatives; my grandfather passed a long time ago when I was still a child.
It was just Father and I until last year.
But it's okay. I have my friends now.

[amperor]

I'm glad to hear that.

Shinji was my oldest friend but - he's not my only one. Back home, I have plenty of people I consider like my family as well.

[ It's just that half of them aren't adults so you know. ]

I probably shouldn't say this, but I think you'd get along well with Mitsuru, if she showed up here.

[girlybruiser]

Is that another friend of yours?

[ It's the dead dad thing, isn't it. ]

[amperor]

[ It's not entirely the dead dad thing... ]

Yes. Mitsuru Kirijo; she's my oldest friend after Shinji. She's been a persona user for a long time, and we were the first three to band together and fight the shadows.

You remind me a bit of her - your grace under pressure, and your determination.

[girlybruiser]

You think I'm graceful under pressure?
Oh... thank you! That's very kind.
I'm not sure if I am, honestly... but it's nice to hear!

[amperor]

A lot of people freeze under pressure; being able to keep moving forward is worth it.

[ He leaves it at that for now. ]

I should probably get Koromaru back to Minato for now. You still interested in getting some punching lessons or fishing, sometime?

[girlybruiser]

How about a trade? I teach you how to fish and you can show me how to throw a really cool punch!

[ Oh Makoto... if only you could see her. ]

[amperor]

[ She'd be so proud. ]

That sounds like a deal to me. I'll hold you to it and teach you how to really knock someone flat.
