[There's a boy on the screen, and he looks rather... confused. And pretty upset, too.]
Destroyed? But... we just... that shouldn't be possible.
[He clutches his scarf tightly.]
It's not possible. It has to be lying.
Anyway. Hey there.
[He smiles a bit, putting on as much of a brave face as he can.]
I'm new here, I guess. My name's Ryoji Arisato. It's nice to meet all of you.
[He pauses, as if he's about to say something else, but then reconsiders, thinks about it another moment, and then shuts off the broadcast.]

... I'm fine.
[ Spoilers: he doesn't sleep very well, especially not lately. ]
[Video]
Like hell I believe that. I've known you - or at least a you - my entire life. Maybe you're not the same one, but I still know enough to call you on your bull.
[And all of a sudden, he drops the act, just looking tired.]
So tell me what's wrong. You didn't just come from the end of January too, did you?
[Video]
No offense, but he doesn't open up to people he doesn't know, even if they claim to know him. And, that aside, well... he has no idea why anyone would be so concerned about him. ]
... No. I'm fine, honest. There's nothing wrong... and you look far worse, anyway.
[ Has he... seen a mirror lately? ]
[Video]
[It's a little hard to accept that he's dead, but... well. It'll take some time.]
But... all right. I know you're not the same... but I'm here for you if you decide you want to talk to someone.
[Why do they have to be so stubborn sob.]
[Video] 1/2
[2/2]
[ Someone is very, very tsundere.
And possibly just very bad at realizing people care about him. ]
Is it really that important?
no subject
At least... where I'm from... you're my brother. I wouldn't want him... in any world... to feel alone.
no subject
I'm sorry, but from my point of view, you're a complete stranger. I don't have family.
[ A bold-faced lie. He had Minami, but it was hard to openly accept her as his sister still. It would... take time. ]
I can take care of myself. It doesn't matter if I'm alone, does it?
[ It's too hard to properly express himself. It's so much easier to just put on a cold front, and pretend nothing bothers him. It'll be so much easier here to just change the subject because he doesn't like getting his feelings or family or anything involved with people he, again, barely knows, who could be in SEES for all he knows, or maybe a Kirijo spy, or what have you. Trust issues are great like that. ]
... And what about you, anyway? Do you have a Persona, or what?
no subject
[It seems so... lonely, though. He tugs on his scarf a little - a nervous habit, but it's comforting.]
Um... yes. I have a Persona. He just awakened recently... Thanatos.
no subject
... Thanatos...?
[ He... he isn't sure if he should be shocked or what. What did that mean, though? ... O-okay trying to snap out of it here. ]
Are you involved with SEES?
no subject
I've been a sort of... unofficial member for a while. The... Minato and Minako where I'm from [it is so weird to explain things like this] are both in it. They said I had the Potential, but I couldn't seem to summon my Persona for a long time.
I think I can summon him now because Death left me...
[Though obviously not completely - he's read enough mythology to at least recognize the name.]
no subject
But argh, more SEES. Great. ]
... What do you mean by death?
[ So much confusion augh. ]
no subject
no subject
You're not making any sense. There were only twelve to start with.
[ And SEES defeated them. Didn't they? ]
Are you saying there's a hidden one? ... Is that why the Dark Hour's still around?
[ If it is--! Then SEES hasn't won yet...! ]
no subject
It... claimed that's what humans wanted. What they were calling for.
[He looks a little sick at the thought.]
no subject
Are you saying... SEES wasn't just fighting to stop the Dark Hour? Were they manipulated into this without knowing it, or what?
[ FUCK. This is so frustrating--! He is really, really upset by this. ]
... All this time we spent trying to stop them... and in the end they still fucked everything up. Because they just can't leave things alone, can they? Dammit. I knew their stupid hero complex would screw us over somehow.

[ Augh. Pieces, he only has pieces. ]
And what about Strega?
no subject
Aside from that, I don't know anything about them. I've never met them in person.
no subject
... I see.
[ That's all he'll say. The idea of Takaya being the leader churns his stomach, so his next words are forced cold cordiality. ... Possibly also due to the weight of the conversation and Ryoji technically being in SEES. ]
You should probably go find your teammates or something, I'm sure the br-- [ Wait, sister. Habit. ] --Minami can figure it out.
[ Yeah he might be hanging up now oops. Good luck, Broji. ]
