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...

[gorobo]

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.

[seekerofjustice]

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.

[gorobo]

Guess you could stand to take some of my anger.

[seekerofjustice]

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.

[gorobo]

It's better than feeling it and being unable to do anything about it as your body goes gallivanting around on the command of another.

[He feels the anger rising in himself again.]

[seekerofjustice]

...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.

[gorobo]

Indeed.

[It's not Dove's fault, not really, but in his anger, he doesn't particularly care. He's done with this conversation now, muting his messages for the time being.]
