Aomori-sensei was waiting outside the hotel when everyone was awake, tapping a foot impatiently and looking at his watch. Ishino-sensei seemed somewhat nervous. He'd snapped at her when she'd tried to speak to him. He was always a lot more patient with the students and she'd hoped that finally going on this trip would improve his mood. She shook her head and smiled. It was her fault her colleague had to deal with all the reporters and so she had no right to complain when he was in a mood like this.

Boys

3: Kanaye/Yuuto/Kou
4: Gendou/Keiichi/Shin

Girls

	Kiriko's eyes narrowed. It was less that she disliked what he was saying and more than she disliked the way he was saying it. "If I didn't care at all, I wouldn't bother to engage you at all. I don't see what you're getting at right now, though. Don't beat around the bush. What do you want me to do?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Tom turned back and looked at her.

"You should be in charge. If you stepped up they would accept it, they would listen to you. Even Shirai would listen. The responsibility already hangs on your shoulders.

I really, really don't want to be in charge of your group. I don't..."

He let out a breath again, it was a sigh. His left arm reached to wrap around his right arm, and he looked away slightly.

"I don't even... belong here. I don't do this whole... thing."

He waved his hands, the pauses seemd to come as he was trying to find the right words, and failing.

"The point is; the important choices... we don't get to pick when they come, the opportunity to stand never comes when we ask for it, it comes when we need to stand. The others... they have already placed the responsibility on you. You can chose to accept it, or try and shake it off."

He let out a final breath, and definitely didn't look at her with his final remark.

"I would listen to you."

Kiriko's eyes narrowed only further. He seemed to be yammering on about leadership, but he was acting like boys usually did when confessing an ill-concieved crush and her immediate, instinctive reaction was to cut him down as quickly and efficiently as possible. She knew that wasn't the case - what he was saying had nothing to do with that - but what he was saying sounded like just as much of a waste of time.

"So what?" she snapped. "I'm not just going to declare myself the leader now because you think it's a good idea. That's something that should be discussed with everyone. You don't want to be in charge of our group? The way I remember it, that's not how you acted - and the only thing you ever said about it was that you don't really need us, like we were lucky to have you along no matter how much you disturbed everybody else.

"I don't care about how you feel about belonging. I'm not running a damn counselling service, Sagaki, don't try to drop your baggage or whatever on me. You say you'll listen to me? Fine: Stop acting like such a creep."

She glowered at him. Who was he to talk to her about shirking responsibility?

"You're just in all of this for a laugh, to make yourself feel important, right? I don't think you're anyone to be talking to me about important choices."

She huffed and flicked her eyes over him, still glaring, but folded her arms over her chest and stood silent for a minute, chewing the inside of her cheek. Perhaps, objectively, it had been a slight overreaction, but she couldn't really bring herself to care. She didn't understand what he was playing at and it left her far more confused and annoyed than she already had been post-meeting.

"We'll talk about leadership tomorrow, Sagaki," she concluded.

Tom's expression remained neutral. His original expectation of Ikeda was accurate. He didn't need to pretend as much when dealing with her, or keep her at arms length. With how much she hated him, she would do that herself. He felt thankful that most of the persona users felt that way.

"I said I didn't need you, because... well... just as much as none of you need me. I left you in Ishinomori's dungeon because I thought you were all capable. I don't think you're team is any worse then I am and I wanted to make sure... I needed to make sure that none of you thought I was going to rely on you."

He took a step back from her, and looked away.

"As far as my motives... I'm doing this because..."

Tom ran his fingers through his hair, and looked genuinely sad for just a moment. But the moment past. Tom could open up some, but he was still unwilling to let anyone see beneathe the mask, and Kiriko certainly didn't care.

"Because when when I don't speaks up good people die, and bad people get away with it."

Tom waved his hand dismissively, and turned around.

"Whatever, it's not important. You want to talk tomorrow, then the talk can be had tomorrow."

	"Spare me your knight-in-shining-armor complex. For all I know, you are 'bad people.'" She didn't wait for anything more than that, but rather pivoted on her heel and stormed over to where her group was, slipping inside the tent to inspect and ensure that it had been set up properly.
