1/2
Kou's back to being aloof, till somebody opens their mouth and ticks him off. He's probably a little more traditional than normal, since he forgot about his friends that took away a tiny fraction of that stuffyness and got him to, you know, socialise. Somewhat.
Toru: The two don't have much in common. I imagine in Millennium City there wouldn't be much increase in S-links positively, especially since Kou forgot about the time spent with the team. Kozue: I think the mess of their relationship has resolved, though there's probably something lingering that I can't put my finger on. Kou's going to be using some healing sets since his Persona evolved, so there's something to discuss there, I suppose. Symbolism and all. In Millennium City, I don't think he'd be approving. So he'd be back at square one having lacked that team development. Kiriko: Like stated above, he pretty much acts as a foil. I think there's something to be done to resolve the situation enough that in the future, Kiriko can feel like she can call him when she wants a favour done. Like in Z. Or something. Maeko: In Millennium City, I think he'd stop by the icecream parlour and not think much of her otherwise. When it's time for angel beatdowns, I think he'd possibly work well in understanding her family problems and being a confidential ear to listen to. Renju: Family expectations aside, I think there's something to be worked on in that they're both pretty quiet individuals. The problem is that they're quiet - I don't see much happening since they'd not actually seek conflict or other things. In the City, I think they'd possibly have a good relationship as they share certain qualities the other can appreciate. Seiko: SHE NEEDS TO GIVE HIM HUGS, IN BOTH TIMELINES. Tom: I think Tom'd be the driver in their relationship - he's more passive, and facepalming at the stupid stuff that 'idiot' gets up to. At the same time, I feel Tom's antics can help him come out of his shell some. I don't imagine he'd be as friendly in the City, however. I imagine Tom'd ask him out formally for a drink one evening when adults, and he'd accept if he wasn't busy. That sort of stuff. Yoshi: Millennium City = wtf are you drawing. I don't see him spreading her Reizou doujin around either. I think in the actual timeline they haven't interacted enuogh much for him to see past the fact she's a bit of an airhead when we both know she's got more than that. That needs resolving. Misaki: Misaki in the city is pretty much his anthesis. She might follow orders, but there's just so much that I don't know where to start. I think she'd get the brunt of his brusqueness, since unlike Shirai she doesn't raise the hair on the back of his neck. In RL they don't strike me as having much in common. Masami: I don't see them associating much in either case. Though in both timelines, I think he could encounter her when he goes to watch Kendo practices and torneys as a spectator. He does appreciate the traditional aspect of the martial art.
