Who: Renju, Kozue, Keiichi, Tom.
What: Discussing things that needed discussing eventually.
When: The day after the minidungeon.
Where: The Butterfly Room.
Why: Because Renju's starting to gain a bit of courage.

Three months ago, even three weeks ago, Renju wouldn't have dreamed of calling a meeting like this.

But a great deal had changed in the last few weeks, and so here she was, sitting on the floor across from the couch (not on it, not anymore), awaiting the arrival of the other three. It wasn't what she'd consider the ideal group for discussing that place with (that place that some tiny part of her still called 'home'); if she'd had a choice in the matter, it would've been a one-on-one conversation, preferably with someone who wasn't Tom, given how utterly awkward things were and how much worse this context would undoubtedly make it. But what had happened in his place was relevant, and his analytical skills were second to none, and so there it was.

The hands would periodically pester her with the hugdolls; irritated and tense from thinking about the upcoming topic of conversation, she'd shoo them away (although not without, despite herself, sparing a quick peek at who they were bringing over and then proceeding to push it out of her mind). There was a part of her that would welcome the distraction, but the rest of her knew she didn't need it.

	"Then we wouldn't see the killer, because our shadows would be able to manipulate our perceptions. That's a very good thought Kondo-san." Tom put a hand to his chin, and cocked his head to the side. "Either way it seems obvious that the killer knows when our emotional states are good for a trip into Paradise, and can effect our shadows, and our personas." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I don't think so."

Renju poked at her by-now very forlorn-looking dumpling. "At least, not the latter point," she corrected quickly. "It seems that aside from the lack of involvement from others--" it wasn't really like her to use euphemisms, but she was sticking solidly to this point even when evidence seemed to indicate otherwise "--my experience was similar to yours, senpai."

She paused, looking with slight dismay at the hole she'd worried in the side of the dumpling. She seemed to have this habit of playing with her food instead of eating it in situations like this (she recalled the anpan she'd poked a hole in after the team had split up, and vaguely remembered that she'd left it and that perfectly good crepe behind after that fiasco with Gendou). "Which may mean that what happens with the Shadow and the Persona is universal to anyone who goes in under the right circumstances. At the very least, it means that it's not directly tied to the killer. But what those circumstances are is harder to guess..."

"That's right Sonozaki-san. It makes the situation even more dangerous." Tom leaned back in his seat for a moment.

"That lends further evidence to the idea that the killer can target us during specific emotional states. That mans his targets are random, except for the fact that they are all persona users.

...Except Aomori, but I still believe that was because Aomori was in the killers way."

	"Do we know that Aomori-sensei wasn't a Persona user? Maybe he was, too, and that's what's happening, this is all a scheme to get rid of people who could use Personas." Kozue mused, although her attention was more focused now on Renju's poor, half-destroyed dumpling. What a waste. She eyed it more closely, and then, "Sonozaki-senpai, are you going to eat that?"
