I wonder if people will keep appearing until the houses are filled.

That'd be a rather large number of people, don't you think? Especially since they like to give us roommates...

You might be right, though.

[So they have to keep expecting new people...!!!]

Even if every house ends up with around 2-4 roommates, that's still a fairly small community.

But either way, I'm sure we'll be prepared!

A small community, but a lot of kidnapping victims...

[MAYA...]

... All of whom are doing their best! I wonder what else we'll figure out about the town.

[ OPTIMISM. ]

[So optimistic...]

Hopefully, everything. I'd really like to know... just what happened to the people who were here before.

I'd also like to know that. There were clearly residents here, at some point. And with a forest like that, I can't really find myself believing they migrated peacefully to some other place.

... A few months back, when we were cleaning out the town, there were skeletons hidden in closets and basements.

[He frowns.]

But I don't think it was everyone who was here, either.

Just the occasional skeleton?

... Actually, in a closet sounds like a terrible place to have died.

I really, really hope that's not how they died, Amano-san.

[SERIOUSLY...]

I think, somehow, the bones were put there after.

Has anyone found anything like them in the woods?

No, not that I know of.

[he just shakes his head quietly, looking a little troubled.]

Not that any of us have gone digging for bones, I think.

I mean, I could see why people wouldn't... from what I can tell, the woods are their own form of distraction anyway.

"Distraction" is a nice way of putting it, honestly... the woods are such a mess.

[SUCH...A MESS...]

It kind of feels a bit like some of the dungeons I've been in. Just not one so... outdoors-y.

... Dungeons?

[MAYA...]

That sounds pretty RPG to me.

I mean, ancient floating Mayan ruins and spaceships and humanity's collective unconsciousness...

[ she flaps a hand. ]

It all felt pretty dungeon-like to me.

[...and, helplessly:]

...What?

[...]

I understand humanity's collective unconsciousness and wandering that [why is that what you understand, Minatp] but the rest is...

[WHAT]

Ah, well... our particular challenge was that rumors were coming true, so get enough talk about fantastical things and they actually start happening! Ahahaha!

[ GOD. ]

[Ahahaha.]

That sounds totally impossible.

In like every possible way.

I can't say I blame you for that response, but...

Also completely true.

[Maya...]

Suddenly, my situation seems like it was a lot more straightforward.

I can't really judge that, but... straightforward sure sounds refreshing.

[A beat. He thinks of Ikutsuki, and amends:]

Well... it was straightforward compared to rumors coming true... that's about it, I think, though. I'm pretty sure the situation can never be too easy when it comes to things we have to resolve with Personas.

They wouldn't be needed, if that's the case-- you're right.

Well, we'll have to swap stories sometime. Your house is somewhere around here, right?
