Huh, so someone actually went out and killed someone else? Unsurprising, really. It's a miracle it doesn't happen more. You'd think the whole resurrection thing would make it more appealing. Consequence free revenge.
[Hmm.]
Or perhaps not. I wouldn't be happy if I killed Shido only for the fucker to resurrect indefinitely.

Exactly. Repeatedly destroying a building can be fun, but if a person doesn't stay dead there's not much point.
The 'went out' was in the other direction, as I understand it. Sparrow's Ren went looking for Sparrow's Shadow in Mementos, despite having been warned that was a terrible idea. Or quite possibly because he was told it was a terrible idea.

Taking him into the Metaverse... Now that's am interesting idea.
To take him into the Metaverse... I hadn't considered it, but it's entirely possible it could reveal something. It's simply a matter of making certain he doesn't get harmed while he's there.
As for confronting Maruki, well...
That is also true. I considered that a possibility, but it would require finding him first. Sumire-san could only give me so much information when she first regained her memory. I planned on speaking with her more the day after, but... well, I appeared here that evening.
Poor timing, of course.

Are they usually that reckless?
[Though in the case they're talking about, it was less recklessness and more utter disregard for his own well-being, if not certainty he deserved what he got.]

You're talking about the guy who got charged with assault, shipped off to Tokyo for it, and upon arriving, immediately formed a vigilante group to punish his shitty PE teacher.
You tell me.
[Not that he disagrees with that notion on principle, but it's not exactly careful.]

It might, considering Maruki's powers are cognitive. By that logic, it stands to reason that the Metaverse would reveal something regarding the matter.
It would not surprise me either if Maruki were hiding out inside of the Metaverse himself, if he has such control over it. I imagine that will make it extra difficult, too.
Ah, and Igor strikes once again.
[Does he really believe none of them can help themselves without his intervention? Arrogant asshole. Look what happened instead of 'help'.]

So it's a matter of traversing the Metaverse for him, then. I see... It makes sense. Though I'm not certain of what exactly has become of the Metaverse in my own world. I spoke with Akira-- Spades, and it seems as though Mementos may have fused with my world. It's difficult to say exactly what effects this may have had on the Metaverse proper.
Surely it still exists, but it could have had unexpected side effects on the nature of the connection between both worlds.
That said, the Metaverse does still exist. The Meta-Nav exists, and Amamiya-san's history remains intact even through Mementos has fundamentally changed. I suppose I'll just have to be careful as I go along.
But he does note Falcon's disdain of Igor's interference, and... honestly? He's not sure what he feels about it.
It was certainly poor timing, but I'm certain he has his reasons... I don't know what they may be though. Perhaps it was to make bonds, as suggested. Or perhaps it was to give me a chance to train more. I certainly need it...

Just don't get cocky and you'll be fine, I imagine. You have Yoshizawa-san as an ally, no?
[As for Igor... god.]
His reason is "fuck you, I do what I want because it's entertaining". I don't trust that old fart for even one second.

Yes, you're right. Overconfidence would only get the both of us killed...
Igor-san is quite... frustrating, I suppose the word is? You are right about that. If he were more transparent, then perhaps things would make more sense, but as they stand right now... well, we're all aimlessly wandering about, trying to get by.
Frankly, I'm amazed I'm not more irritated by it. Maybe I should be.
Then again, he's aware he's actualized and... well, it's hard for him to feel much frustration about anything half of the time. It's usually either pleasant feelings, depression, or sharpness rather than anger.

If it were possible, then perhaps I would take you up on the offer.
He's still a bit wary about being angry, but at the same time he gets it's important. He needs to be able to feel the full spectrum of emotion rather than the 'pleasant' numbness...
It's not to say I haven't ever felt it, of course, but it's so... rare, I almost forget I'm capable of it until it strikes again. It's quite infuriating, in a paradoxical sense.
He can't help but wonder...
I think I may envy others. That ability to feel it freely, without restraint. Without being held back by something you can't put into words. I wonder how it must feel.
He doesn't mean to ignore Falcon's own struggles with his anger, and what he's been dealing with, but... well, a moment of weakness is a moment of weakness.

...That's right, Falcon had to deal with that, didn't he...? That is much worse, honestly.
You're right. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make little of your own experience.
Ouch, that was not what he meant, but... yeah, it still came out that way.

He sighed, quietly. "About what happened..." Asking 'what could they have done better' wouldn't be helpful. It would be accusatory. A useless excercise.
"I've had someone in my head before. I know... what it's like, to be a puppet with someone else pulling the strings. I... couldn't leave anyone like that. Not if I had the power to stop it. I think the others felt the same, and it's possible that we could've set out with the best of intentions... and still gone about it entirely the wrong way. What's done is done, and we can't take it back. And for the hurt that's caused you, I'm genuinely sorry. I want to make it right. Be better than I was."

"... God," he huffs, "stop apologizing already."
It slips out before he can stop himself, bitter and dark. Shit- this is why he wasn't saying anything. He glances at Futaba, gauging if he's upsetting her.
"It's as you said; what's done is done," he says, trying to lift his voice a little, but he's unsure how well it works, "and you've already done a better job at trying than some individuals."
Crow. Drake. And, much as he loathes the way his anger overtakes him, Ken. He wrote it off before as Ken not knowing what he was getting himself into, but-
Kid clearly knew after all. He may just be a kid, but- God. Fuck.
"All of you, that is." He tries to redirect his anger once more, but it just festers.

He held up his hands placatingly. "Alright, last time. Still, shitty that people haven't at least reached out to you about it."
He paused. "Actually, given what went down with Drake, I can understand why he didn't. Doesn't make it less shitty, but I get it. Hard to reach out to others when you're already drowning. Crow... should've said something before now. I don't think he thinks he shits rainbows, but I think he thinks he's expected to, somehow. I sure as hell couldn't manage..."
Raven, Ren, Aki, Hawk... Technically Hiro now, too. "What, five children, and he wasn't even an adult when he got here? Insane."

I have to do enough lying at home. There's not much point in doing it here.
