[Akira's brow furrows, because that name is familiar. it's a piece of his soul, tucked away in the back of his brain, ready to be called forth to fight for him if he ever needed it]
My Persona is a piece of my. A portion of my soul. It takes the form of different mythological, historical and literary figures. I can summon it to fight for me in the Metaverse when I need to.
[his hand falls to his lap]
The way you put it made it sound like Arahabaki was your Persona.
You know, I can't even say 'yes' or 'no' to that because I legit don't even know what we are. I just know that I'm connected to Arahabaki somehow. If I really focus I can hear h him sometimes, but it's better if I don't do that.
[Is Arahabaki a piece of his soul, or is he a piece of Arahabaki's? Who knows. Chuuya certainly doesn't.]
So I guess you can't summon a Persona here to bust us out, huh?
[Akira surely doesn't, either. . . and it's kind of weird for Chuuya to talk about Arahabaki as a separate being when Akira himself is used to Arahabaki just being a part of him]
I can't.
[he responds with a huffed laugh]
Things would be way easier if I could. Kind of like they would be if you had your gravity powers.

[then Chuuya says the second part, and he frowns!!!]
I wouldn't say it's backwards. Your life has just been a lot different from, say, mine.
Kissing can be pretty special, if you kiss the right person. But it's not some milestone you should use to compare yourself to someone else.

Arahabaki would complicate things anyway, so this is probably all pointless.

. . . Arahabaki?

Date: 2020-03-19 07:20 pm (UTC)...right, you didn't see any of those memories, huh?
[WELL. Akira has proven to be trustworthy, so.
Chuuya points to his chest.]
He's in here. He's a part of me. He's where my gravity powers come from, actually.

Like a Persona?
[because that explanation sure does sound like the one he'd give if he were talking about his Personas!!]

Date: 2020-03-21 02:10 am (UTC)Like I said at the meeting, maybe we should try to find a way to get our powers back. We might be able to stop everything that way.
[And he misses having his gravity-powers :( ]

Date: 2020-03-23 03:05 am (UTC)[he trails off there, because as far as he knows, they haven't been successful]
I don't really know if they can, but at least they're willing to try. Right?
no subject
Date: 2020-03-23 03:18 am (UTC)[As much as he would like to be the first to get his powers back, he can at least recognize that someone else's powers would be more useful.]
I guess we'll have to wait a week and see what they come up with.

I don't know if waiting a week is any different than having waited four and a half already, but. . .
