(his memory is so bad, shinji, that now that he says it, he remembers a conversation he had with her before. and then another. she was the one who had to build a shrine? that would only make sense. but there's not much time to dwell on that, because shinji is undressing? but soon he gets why. he isn't very sure what he is looking at, but obviously, that should keep castor from coming out. they look painful, but you know. it is what it is.)
You still have your back.
Ah, yeah, makes sense-- did you say she's some God. What the fuck is it with Persona kids and Gods.
(yu "i shook hands with a goddess at a gas station" narakami doesn't help....)
[true, he still had plenty of skin left. But he still should start thinking for further on.
But his brows crease at Mikey's next question. What is it with them and God's? Well... Castor wasn't a god, that was his whole thing... but some of the Personas were, if he remembers right. He shrugs.]
I dunno. Never really understood it myself-- like why we each have what Persona we do or why some ore gods and some aren't. But they always seem to fit.
[Obviously that's what Mikey's talking about? Because hahaha what the fuck else could it be.]
As for Dara being a god, she just happened to be the first person I ran into here that I thought could help. She's kinda like... half-god, though? Or wasn't always one. It's weird.
Seems like none of y'all know, and just went 'you know what, I can be this person'.
(he gets it, but also, does not get it. it's a lot for him, when those things are not from his world - and he struggles to understand just about why them. why this. how. huh? but then again, he doesn't know his entire life is the way that it is because of time travel.
after all, shinjiro isn't the only one who died in this room! manjiro just has no idea that it happened.)
[He shrugs.] Listen, there were other people doing the actual research. Our team existed to be able to fight. While they'd share some stuff with us, I definitely got the feeling that they didn't want to bother explaining a lot of it to us.
[....Like the idea that they'd apparently had persona-using Robots 8 years before he and Aki had been recruited? Who knows man. On a certain level, they were all being used, and all sort of knew it. It's complicated. He doesn't continue with his thoughts, knowing they don't truly matter.]
I don't think she's hiding it? Probably not shouting it from the rooftops, but it's not like... a secret.
I'm thinking though about starting something with these bikes forreal, there was that bunk, you remember? There was some mechanic shit, and Shinichiro left a lot of stuff here, since he had a shop and it started here and he used to bring a lot of work and delinquents home to work on their bikes. You want one?
[...Nah. he knows why. But he won't be the one to bring it up first, and instead offers Mikey the out.]
She cursed a guy here once- everything he tried to eat smelled and tasted rotten for like a week, I think.
[But at the mention of a bike, his head tilts, and he glances at the steel and grease machine the guy had been working on. They were cool sure... but he shakes his head.]
I dunno how to ride one. And probably wouldn't get a lot of use.

I'll ask her, it's not like she's hiding, is it?

(but he isn't going to go through all the whole story that the other gave him. it's not important to the conversation, neither is it his to share.)
Just don't let her curse me, man.

[--Okay, but at that last request, his lips quirk up.]
No promises on that. I won't give her any reason to, though.

(the sheer contrast between looks, personality, lifestyle. he loves it.)
Oh. Yeah, I'll keep your lady... Away from me, maybe.
(she's cool but like he KNOWS HIMSELF... THIS IS A DANGER...)
I've taught before, you know.
