WEEK 3
[Once everyone has gotten out of the elevator, those who go to look for Akira and Kurama will find that they have been put into one of their rooms, together, safely tucked into bed with a glass of milk for each of them. And - aside from the bruises of being suctioned into a death cylinder and tranquilized with some very strong drugs - they are alive and unharmed.
Naturally, this means that Akira and Kurama are the first to experience the dreams, but everyone will experience them, once they finally fall asleep, for good and ill.
Despite everything, too, the survivors will find many other new things facing them as they wake up. A new evolution for their powers, a new wing...and a new rule, updated after the execution. The profiles have also been updated, to reflect the Titled's ever-dwindling numbers.
This is going to be a long week, that's for sure.
There are ten strangers left in this place.
((OOC: Don't forget to do Activity Check along with memory regains, everyone!))

... Goro...
[ ... He will have to think carefully on what to even say.
Only... 'yes' or 'no' means this is going to be very limited. He holds a blink, trying to slow his racing thoughts. Is it possible they're ghosts? He'll... let himself believe... ]
I'm glad there's a way to talk to you...
[ Voice steady... you've got this, Kurusu. ]
You being able to talk through this, must mean there's something connecting us to... wherever all of you wound up.
[ ... ]
Are you all trapped in this same mall?

[ It's said without hesitation, even if he doesn't know quite where to begin yet. He'll find a damn way. ]
Is there anyone there besides you and the other victims from our group?

...
[ He actually hadn't... gone in with that question expecting anything in particular -- he had asked it, accepting it as a possibility, but...
They're together in what they at least believe is this very same mall, and there with... at least one other person who wasn't from their group? His first thought is the LC is there... but...
... Damn there are way too many questions he could ask about that, but...
He's going to try to cover as many bases as possible before trying to find someone who hasn't tried this yet. ]
Are you all able to see or hear us?

A harsh exhale escapes; he clenches his teeth in an effort to keep his expression steady.
Little good it does. There's a tensing of his face as he has to put that much more effort into his composure. He's fighting down the feelings he only recently started to shove down enough to keep up the role of... ... what?
He can't just declare himself the leader of these people. He hasn't earned that title here. To be a good leader, the title has to be one the people you're trying to lead... see fit...
H e h ]
... Do you believe I stand a chance against this place-- ... at saving everyone?
[ It's something whispered beneath his breath. A... wasted question... but... ]

And then he... actually laughs. It's quiet, but... it's real. Even if it does become strained right at the end. It's with a deep breath, however, his expression finally shift back into something... remotely resembling what he wore before the recent murders happened. ]
A good leader always has faith in their teammates, Goro...
[ Not the best attempt at a joke, but... it's not really a joke. And... he fully understands that isn't an easy question to answer with so few options. ]
No Persona user, regardless of what life throws at them, backs down. We face our mistakes... our sins... head-on, alongside the ones we trust. Regardless of what you may think... [ His expression is serious. ] I trust... the you I saw when we were first kidnapped to this place... is the real you. The one who took on the role of leader -- a better one than I ever could have, at times -- is who you really are.
[ Quietly, but in an unwavering tone: ]
I'm not giving up. Because this time I will save you guys.
[ ... With that, he's falling quiet for a moment, the fire dimming into something more thoughtful and serious. ]
Is there any kind of... immediate threat on your end?
no subject
no subject
Got it.
[ There's no actual relief. ]
I'll handle things on my end.
[ The coin stays on the board for now... ]
By the way... I remembered the day we met.
[ He'll... leave out the other details for now. ]
I'm going to see if Karma-kun and Kurama want to come say hi when they're done. So... if you're fine waiting...
[ He's going to be pulling out his phone, now, before directing a small smile in the general direction of the board. ]
... Thank you.
