[burningblossoms]

I don't know how. I just...can. I feel something inside me, and if I concentrate on it, fire comes out.

[It's not the weirdest thing that's happened lately, but his reaction has pretty much guaranteed she won't be sharing her Persona with him right now.]

It's like it's a part of me. Something I forgot. But...I remember now.

[youraffection]

[ Please bring out the large pink lady. His heart can take it. (Probably.) ]

Like you forgot...?

[ Wait a second.

He may not have the most tact at times, but he's fairly decent at drawing logical conclusions as long as it doesn't relate to, like, dating. ]

You mean like all the visions people've been getting?

[burningblossoms]

[It's the metal bird lady thanks. Her Stand, Metal Sax.]

Like I forgot, yes. Like...I have always had this power, and never known about it.

[That's about the shape of things.]

I'm sure something will come to you in time.

[youraffection]

I just...don't get how that's possible.

[ Forgetting something like this? ]

I mean...something like this would be pretty hard to forget, don't you think?

[burningblossoms]

It could be a lot of things.

Magic, even. I...don't have a good answer, Yosuke.

[youraffection]

So, wait...you just kinda felt like you could do this...so that means you didn't, like, see yourself doing this in a vision or anything?

[burningblossoms]

I mean the first time it just happened. I lit some candles in my room. Just...by reflex. and I set my hairbrush on fire too.

But I've had visions of this stuff too, yeah.

[youraffection]

Oh shit--and you didn't burn the place down?

[ That sounds like a slight against Yukiko, but it isn't. Probably. ]

Really? So maybe you see it and then you get to do it.

[burningblossoms]

I put it out.

[She gives him a glower, but it doesn't last.]

And I think there's more to it than that. I've had visions of me doing other things too, things I can't do yet.

[youraffection]

Like...like what kinda things?

[ What could be cooler than starting fires? ]

[burningblossoms]

Dancing.

[What did you expect her to say? ]

[youraffection]

[ ...DEFINITELY NOT THAT. ]

...Somehow, that doesn't seem to have the same gravity.

[burningblossoms]

Have you ever seen me try to dance? Or do anything musical? Because the other me plays sax.

[youraffection]

...Wait, really?

[ He raises his brows. ]

So you're saying the other you is cool?

[burningblossoms]

[Her eyes glitter. Dangerously.]

Implying I'm not?

[youraffection]

[ Oops. ]

N-No, no way! You're totally cool!

[burningblossoms]

Then what was that about?

[youraffection]

I-I mean, even cooler! Like, who knew you could be even cooler!

[burningblossoms]

You know, watching you flail is fun and all, but...maybe relax a little and stop putting your foot in your mouth.

[youraffection]

Y-Yeah...

[ He sighs, deflating quite a bit. ]

Sorry, I know sometimes I say dumb shit. I just get kind of caught up in the moment and, um, yeah...

[burningblossoms]

I know.

[Yukiko does the unthinkable then. She reaches out, touching his upper arm and giving it a firm squeeze.]

Just...slow down, okay? Think what you say through. It's not a race, Yosuke.

[youraffection]

[ He's--not surprised, but, touched, really. Yukiko is a thoughtful person even if they spend most of their time messing with each other in a friendly way. ]

...Yeah. Thanks.

[ He exhales slowly through his nose. ]

I mean it, though. It's not that you're not cool now--obviously you are, I've always thought so. Weird powers and new talents are just, like, another layer to the coolness.

[burningblossoms]

[They do spend quite a lot of time screwing around with one another don't they? That may need to change, at some point. But not right now. Her hand drops from his shoulder and she bobs her head in acknowledgement.]

I can accept that.

[Shifting, she looks him right in the eye.]

You know, you'll have these changes yourself. Eventually. and when you do, I'll be here to support you. I want you to know that.

[youraffection]

...

[ Did she know that he's been feeling kind of left out from all the potential coolness that's been going around? He hopes he isn't that obvious...

So he does what he does best--he tries to laugh it off. ]

H-Hey, this is about you, right? Your fire powers and your saxophone playing...which, hey, we should test that second thing.

[burningblossoms]

[How long has she known him? She is sharper than she lets on.]

We should. I was actually going to head to a music shop this afternoon and see about giving one a try. Maybe picking one up.

[It's not like she doesn't have the money.]

Come with me? I'll drop you off after.
