Ah... how can I explain? The moment of realization, of painful clarity, of power awoken on a level I knew not existed...

[dismemberthename]

[WAITS... PATIENTLY...]

[artisticliberty]

[he starts flipping through his sketchbook]

A Persona is the mask you wear to face the world, in both a literal and figurative sense. In the Metaverse, if you accept your Persona, then you have accepted both the strengths and weaknesses of your heart. And, if they recognize your resolve, then they will grant you power.

[he opens onto a page he sketched of some truly bizarre-looking creatures, posed one after another like they're on the cover of a manga of something]

and then i had amnesia for a day and am going back to sleep now but oops

[dismemberthename]

[this is. bizarre.] So being true to yourself grants you power, huh...

ilu <3

[artisticliberty]

[yusuke points to this one, flanking near the front]

This is Kamu Susano-o, a rebirthed version of my original Persona, Goemon. Although I cannot call upon him any longer, I do not believe he has left me, either.

[dismemberthename]

[leaning in a little closer to pay better mind to that one specifically in the sea of Absurd Design Decisions]

So he's... a part of you?

[artisticliberty]

Yes. I do not know where my spirit ends and his begins, but it doesn't matter. He came to me when something in me had broken, yet it allowed me to realize my own resolve for vengeance.

[dismemberthename]

Can't say I took you as a vengeance type.

[Quietly, false-casual. Worried but knows it's too late, that he got through it and probably past it and kicking up a fuss now would be silly.]

[artisticliberty]

[he lets out a huff of air through his nostrils]

That is because the incident that caused this has long since passed, and justice has been served. I'm no longer living under his thumb, and I am free to live my life as I please, practice my art as I please.

[dismemberthename]

... I'm glad you got out. Got back at him.

[artisticliberty]

Mm. I promised myself, at that time, that I would never lie to myself about what was before my eyes. I wouldn't hide from the truth anymore, wouldn't lie about how I was feeling any longer.

[this might explain why yusuke is so earnestly open about... everything]

[dismemberthename]

[that... Yeah.]

You're keeping that promise well, I can tell. It's hard to imagine you bring anything but earnestly yourself.

[artisticliberty]

I can only endeavor to be the best version of myself that there is.

[dismemberthename]

I think your best version of you is pretty great.

[Kissing his cheek]

[artisticliberty]

[oh...! he is kissed ///]

Thank you. I think much the same of you.

[dismemberthename]

Thanks. Obviously I'm a lot less straightforward about myself, but I like to think I've been pretty honest with you.

[Painfully so]

[artisticliberty]

I am glad. I would willingly accept every part of you that you wish to show me.

[dismemberthename]

[immediately thinks of a laundry list of things about himself he doesn't want to expose Yusuke to

Yeah best not to go there. Knocks their foreheads together gently.]

Thank you.

[artisticliberty]

[kisses sudoh briefly, just a peck]

Of course.

[dismemberthename]

[too good and cute to be real, Sudoh idly wonders if he's just imagined this all up somehow

But ultimately just quiets and snuggles a little closer]
