[Yukiko looks worried as she gets on the network. Very worried. She'd disappeared after the battles at the barricades, not been able to get back, not seen or heard from anyone...]

I owe everyone at the barricades the night of June 19th an apology. I couldn't do enough to help you, and I couldn't get back in time to prevent more damage and keep more of you from being hurt because of the way my magic was blocked.

[She gives the camera a deep bow.]

I'm sorry.

I'd also like to say something to everyone I was fighting with - from the brave, brave girl who kept pushing past her limits and kept going, to my team leader at home for showing why he's our leader, to every healer in the fight, to everyone who stepped in and replaced those who couldn't keep going any longer, to every single person there...thank you. You're very brave and very strong. Don't let anyone make you think otherwise. You're incredible.

And someone else has already said this, but to those who were turned...I don't hate you. You had no way of knowing. I didn't want to witch-hunt you, or go after you, because of something you couldn't control. Please take care of yourselves. You're not what Ruana says you are.

[She bows again, then cuts off the feed.]

[Also, the Persona-users at the barricade, SEES, the Investigation Team, Strega, Hidetoshi Odagiri, Ryoji Mochizuki, Saki Konishi, and Labrys will all get a note in their inboxes, with sharing instructions.]

you suffered no lasting issues from your magic being severed, i hope?

that's good. luna blade isn't supposed to be permanent, not to my knowledge, but i was concerned it might've reacted differently to different magic systems. it's not my specialty, in any case.

i'm fine.


[ 'fine' as a matter of speaking. ]

[ a pause—lengthy, pregnant, when his replies otherwise had come fairly quickly—before Raven, too, switches the feed over to video after having managed to school most of the shock away from his features. he could do her the justice of being able to see who it was that had attacked her, at least.

he looks uncomfortable in the way that would be strongly telling of a constant, habitual guardedness being forcibly dropped, had he not also appeared so drained. ]


I'm... glad that was the case then. If it could have been affected like that, then... it's good to hear no lasting repercussions came of it.

My apologies regardless, though.

You were only defending yourself and everyone else there. There's no need to apologize for that. [ his voice strengthens while he says this, but only for that; it fades back into the muted tone from before when he speaks again. still, he sounds pretty vehement about it while it lasts. ]

I said I was fine, earlier. I meant it. None of the injuries sustained while... transformed, carried over. Not even when I met my death by—again, fire—on a later occasion. [ because burn scars of all things wouldn't so easily fade, normally. ]

I suppose we would have known, otherwise.

... I don't know. If it could have stopped us...

[ he murmurs, seeming distracted. ]

I can't... speak for the others, but I would rather have died ten times over than have allowed myself to be used like that again. [ before shaking his head and refocusing on the conversation he's supposed to be having. ]

I suppose, though, assuming wrongly about identities would've been no better.

[ ... ]

It's not your responsibility to be apologizing for. I can assure you that you had no hand in what happened; you... rightly, should owe no apology to me.

[There's a faint chuckle from his end. Really, Yukiko? Really?]

It's alright. You helped us this much until then; it was enough to get others out of harm's way.

[He won't mention that he...kind of didn't make it. Either she found out already, or she hasn't and he's fine anyway.]

I don't think my friend looks at the network often, but I'll let her know she was mentioned.

[To which he may or may not be grateful for spoilers, it's the former.]

Mm. You're right. I guess I was lucky to just miss that. [And by "lucky" we mean "1HP left"... uh, yeah. also brb shipping you and Ryoji 5ever, Yukiko-san] I'm glad you've recovered, at least.


[He nods in confirmation, before making the feed private. Though considering he has no marks from the attacks and explosions he weathered, the answer is obvious as to what happened to him in hindsight.]

...You don't have to apologize, Yukiko-san. We all did our best to protect the others. To be honest, I'm more worried for Xion. She was one of those who fell to the monsters and hasn't taken her death well.
