[video] ⚙ heartbeat, heartbreak

Is it...over? Is everybody okay?

[Labrys was hesitant, speaking like she was either upset over something or just hadn't wanted to record video in the first place. The mechanical girl's red eyes didn't quite look at the camera, slightly downcast.]

Uh--listen, if anybody's got time, I could kinda use some help. If anyone knows stuff about fixin' machinery, could ya meet me somewhere? It ain't hard, I can tell ya what needs repairin' and all that.

[She paused as if considering whether to end it there or not.]

...And, uh...Hidetoshi? Can I talk to ya when y' got a minute?

F-fiery...

[Her voice faltered at those words, and if Labrys had been able to turn any paler herself she very well might have.]

Y...yeah, that was me. That was...what my Shadow looked like, back home. Or at least the thing she fought with.

... I see. Your Shadow?

[ Gdit, purse-users. Rise only explained so much. ]

That's the... [ how did Rise put it again so vague ] The repressed part of yourself you need to accept in order to obtain a being known as a Persona, correct? [ Labrys represses a giant fiery ox-monster? What was much more important actually; Labrys was from his world? The same dimension as Rise's team and the Minato(s) and himself? ]

Huh? You know about 'em already?

A girl named Risette was kind enough to [ momentarily break his brain by showing off her Persona ] explain the basics of it to me after I witnessed her summoning her own Persona.

Oh, Rise showed you--okay, that makes this a little easier.

See, when I confronted my Shadow a while ago, it ended up lookin' kinda like you just described. She went an' called up this big flaming minotaur thing.

You're acquainted with her, I take it?

So Shadow can mutate or call other Shadows to their assistance? And somehow when under the effects of my costume, I saw you as such a creature even if I had no prior knowledge of what your Shadow's form or underling was.
