Yes. Yusuke with the crabs. From the little memories I have of him, he's pretty sharp, but... [ His first memory is the posing at the church??? ] He's still as peculiar.
I'd say we wait... Before he got Retrospec, he once visited and talked about how his mother is fragile. She's been doing better lately, but I wouldn't want to drop something that heavy on him.
[ Well, it's too late cause Souji and Dave dropped the post of Existential Crisis the next day, BUT!!!. ]
I also think Goro Akechi is a Phantom Thief... Or at least he partnered with us? I got a memory that he fought some monsters alongside us with his Persona—though I wouldn't want you revealing who you are to him. [ ... ] But that's probably some lingering feelings of distrust from the memory. He is a detective after our tails in this different reality, so...
[ what the heck. why is everyone she knows a phantom thief. ]
Man...this is so crazy. Did you just get these memories back now?
[ and it's weird, how only the two of them seem to be in the Know about it. at least with one another. ]
I'm not gonna tell him or Yusuke, promise. I think it's...something that's better off kept between the two of us right now, especially if there's some distrust with Akechi. But that's--that's so weird...Akechi's a nice person...
No, but for sometime. I was just busy, so I didn't get to tell you.
[ ANYWAY. ]
Goro is a good guy. I want to say we're good friends and that we can trust him. [ Akira won't lie. ] But from what he has shared with me before, it's a slippery slope for us. He probably knows he's a Phantom Thief? Maybe... I'm not sure.
I don't think it's the most horrible idea to confront him about this, but there's a right time and place for everything.
[ Looks like Akira and Ann must struggle together a little while longer. ]
... If Yusuke wanted to know about his own memories, then I think it would be fine to tell him.
Well...only if he asks. I'm...I'm gonna leave that up to you, okay? I feel like you know what the right thing to do is with all this Phantom Thieves stuff. I can help, but I think you should be the one to break it to Yusuke.
[ ... ] As for Akechi, I think... You told me before, right? That the life we live here isn't a lie, and the relationships we have with other people are important.
Whatever happened with Akechi in our memories... I don't know. I wanna say that things are different, here. Even if those memories are supposedly who we really are, I think this place has actually changed us, too. And...I've been thinking.
Who we are here...maybe it's just who we were meant to be all along.
[ He wants to say that she can do it because she gave him crabs, but he digresses... It's fine. He'll take care of that. He kind of sputters and chuckles a bit— ]
Yeah, I did say that. It still hasn't changed. If anything comes up, I'll tell you.
[ He's still not sure what's the best course of action, but he knows something has to be done soon. The least he can do is say this one thing. It doesn't reaffirm or deny what Ann says: ]
Yeah... Yeah! We--we forge our own paths, our own destinies!
[ GOD that was straight out of a fucking anime Ann you nerd. she grins, eating another bite of her crepe. ]
Like, all this stuff about our "real" selves? We can follow it if we want but we don't have to listen to any of it, right? So... Even though all that stuff with Akechi happened before, it doesn't have to change what we think of him at all.
I'm more worried about how he thinks of himself... He seems at odds with the other Goro Akechi. Either way, we'll figure something out.
[ He doesn't want that to fester or for his friend to adopt other Goro's mindset, but that just means they have to work harder for their friend to choose them, right?
Or is the betrayal just some grand play?? He doesn't fucking know. ]
Congratulations, Ann. We are now from an anime or a Japanese rpg. This is a blood oath.
Really...? Is it because he was working against the Phantom Thieves?
[ ann's almost afraid to find out just how bad the other goro was. she doesn't want it to ruin her image of him, despite what she just said, because there is a possibility she'd let that bleed through her interactions with him but-- ]
A blood oath? Geez, now it sounds like we're in a cult...
Yeah, the other Goro wanted to put us behind bars, but the one that we know genuinely supports us. Maybe we can call him a phanboy?
[ But that's all he really wants to say about it. He doesn't know too much about Goro Akechi... Actually, it's difficult to get a reading on him in his memories.
Whether it bleeds into their interactions, he thinks she at least deserves to know. ]
I think we should just trust in this Akechi to support us. Regardless of what happened in the past, we're different people now. And...I wanna figure out what's going on, but at the same time, I want to know everyone as they are now and not who they were before.

Okay...so...Yusuke's a Phantom Thief. That was definitely not I was expecting to hear when I called you. Should we...tell him?
