"So, our...power can go berserk." there was no real need to question it.

'If we don't use Persona, it's dangerous. If we do use it, it's still dangerous. This is such a glaring contradiction...'

"Well what choice do we have?" Kumiko leaned over the table to whisper. "I know using them is dangerous...or so they say. But if we don't use them to fight those monsters, what will happen if they get out? We're doing this, right?"

Eber crossed his arms over his chest, propping a foot on the edge of the opposite booth next to Kojiro. "I personally agree with continuing through the tunnels heedless of Seiya-senpai--there will be no progress into the matter if we stagnate on campus. I do not understand why she will not cooperate. Surely she ought to know that suppressing the power is as harmful as releasing it."

Kojiro nodded at Fridmund and Kumiko, slightly wondering why they were sitting next to each other. "Yes, we are going to continue...I am not entirely sure she does know. And Igor did imply there was a way...The headset Seiya wears is meant for keeping her peronsa under control. But she did not make it herself...Elenore seems to imply that she's getting help from elsewhere. Perhaps, Kumiko or Frimun...one of you two could give it a shot?"


He slightly scooted away form Fridmund's moving foot, "Maybe we were a bit to aggressive. But we need answers...or to at least figure out how to get help. But we are going to keep going back." He paused and thought about Eleanore's last comment. "A red string. That was Eleanore's last hint before we left today. A red string...and of course," Kojiro finally turned to Yamada, "Igor said there were others yet to awaken and some that were already fighting. he admitted Seiya has been to the Velvet room."

"If she is this organized, she did not awaken by the dreams we had just days ago," he leaned his head back to stare at the garish metallic ceiling panels, "I wonder how long ago it was that she first discovered the train, and the power of Persona."

He paused for a time and then sat up straighter.

"Do you think the train is done for? When we defeated that monster last night? It is only--Well, if Seiya-senpai has been down there with others and is better equipped, I do not think it wise to assume they could not have done the same themselves much sooner."

Kojiro nodded at Fridmund. "I agree...that's why we need to go back. There were tons of dead people down there. I wonder if they were lured or had dreams like we did..." he crossed his arms. "But we need to find the source. So we need to explore the tunnels. There were lots of those Shadows still lurking in the tunnel. They can probably just take over another train..."

Rin turned her head to look at Eber as he talked. "But that also raises the question of why they hadn't done something to stop the train." She glanced around the table wondering if any of them had wondered that as well.

Eber nodded grimly, glancing to Yukimura, "The scene we encountered was quite gruesome. Are you certain you are capable of keeping up, Yamada-senpai?"

Kumiko sat back and listened. She kind of saw Yamada as luggage. Sure, he was great with a spear, but he was the only one in the group he didn't have a Persona. 'I can only hope he can keep up.'

Yamada was more confused than ever and more out of place. He was not enjoying the temperaments or ideas surrounding most of this or the opinions that seemed directed at Seiya-Sempai. He was positive that whatever she did it was for a good reason. He supposed that she'd have to understand more, as she'd apparently started it much sooner than the rest of them. He frowned, wondering if she'd had a group to confide in such as this when things had started.

A red string... He stared at them and shook his head. Every part of this was just ridiculous. He was positive that this was a dream on it's own. His eyes glanced over everyone in the booth again and frowned at the German's posture, but wasn't going to impart his opinion on most of it. It seemed it wasn't going to be wanted anyway. He seemed to have a pretty good grasp of things anyway and he wondered if this wasn't someone he ought to be asking about the previous day instead.

Maybe it was better to just take the matter into his own hands. Perhaps being alone on this would be preferable, but at the same he figured there was strength in numbers and he really shouldn't burn any bridges so soon. Maybe being there in person was just the only way to properly learn. They seemed to be doing well so far, so he was best not to judge any of them until he saw them in action, so he could really understand each of their talents.

He paused in his thoughts, a bit surprised at being addressed and stared up at the German a moment before speaking. "Yes. I'm sure that I can. I'd not have had these dreams, or even be in this shop with any of you if I wasn't supposed to. I just need to get my bearings first."

He remembered the man from his dream again, that expression on his face. He needed to prove to himself, to that man, and even to these people his worth. He wasn't going to let any of them down and that determination showed on his face.

"I'm not going to disappoint any of you."

Kojiro continued to stare at Yamada. He gave a small nod to him. "Our enemies are not normal creatures...do you remember the monster from your dream? The one that swallowed you on the train? There will be dozens, who knows how many of them." He leaned forward, "So until your Persona comes forth, please stay back. We don't want you getting killed."

"I've gotta hand it to you, Yamada-san. You've got brass ones if you're still in." she pressed her hands in front of her in an apologetic gesture. "I'm sorry for deceiving you about all this by the way. But it just doesn't roll off the tongue without sounding crazy."

He nodded to them both. He was sort of excited, expectant for his Persona to come. He didn't understand it one hundred percent, but he figured that none of them had either. He did remember that shadow and the prospect of it was terrifying, but he didn't want that monster or any of its sort loose. He couldn't imagine the ramifications it could have.

He gave a sort of smile toward Mizushima, even if her wording was a bit odd he appreciated the sentiment. "I understand. It's not something you could just tell someone." He paused a moment, then half nodded and half bowed to the table. "I appreciate all of you allowing me to learn from you."

Kojiro watched Yamada, and thought he looked a little awkward. "Its alright, Yamada. Just don't go spying on us anymore. Now lets order something to eat, I don't want to fight on an empty stomach!"

Rin nodded at Kojiro's words, feeling a bit hungry herself. She just hoped the ramen itself was better than the shop looked.

Kumiko couldn't bare to look at anything on the menu. None of it seemed all that appeasing to her. She was throwing darts by choosing the most expensive item on the menu. If she got lucky, it wouldn't be too bad of a meal.

Eber was in a mindset similar to Kumiko's--more because he was spoiled on Akinari's fine cooking. "...Will we be staying here until the later hours, then? Unless there is something more productive we could be doing..."

"Oh God. We're not staying here that long are we? I don't think I can toss that much time away in here." Kumiko squirmed in the leather seats in discomfort.

Kojiro looked over the menu, "I guess we could go hang out in some of the sh-" He stopped talking as he felt his phone buzz. He took it out and frowned. "Excuse me."He stood up and climbed his way out of the booth. He didn't look at anyone, just stared at his phone until he was away from the table and then answered.

He went outside for his conversation...
