&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Oh. Is that so?&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though Kurou may tend toward an alternative style more suited to nightclubs and raves -- with such disregard for convention not atypical of a Kasugayama High School student -- it is contrasted by a calm and docile disposition. Apparently lacking experience to inform his behavior, he often defers to even his most delinquent peers on how to navigate social situations, and accepts their word far too easily. What Kurou ultimately wants out of life is to find what he wants out of life. Yet, he seems far too self assured for someone who claims to be entirely aimless, and proves relentless in even simple assignments and routine chores. Whatever unspoken purpose drives him, it isn&#039;t enough to satisfy the hunger that lurks under his composed exterior. In his life&#039;s hunt, Kurou makes it a point to find wonder in all parts of life, from the mundane to the darkest sides of Sumaru.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Several years ago, a listless boy began silently running errands during the Dark Hour for those in New World Order circles. The spark of life has since (re)awakened, bringing back the light in his eyes.&lt;br /&gt;

He enrolled into Kasugayama High School as a second year around May 2012 -- about a month into the first semester.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Gashadokuro:&#039;&#039;&#039; Humans that died in battle or of starvation, never given proper funeral rights, are said to sometimes merge together to form a single, skeletal monstrosity. Despite the titan size of Gashadokuro, it is silent in its approach, and may even possess the ability to turn invisible. Being made of bones and corpses of the already deceased, a Gashadokuro cannot be killed. It roams after midnight, hunting the living until the fury and hunger that animates it burns out.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Yua Ijuuin has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;We&#039;re goin&#039; on a &#039;&#039;mission!&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Tyrrha chirps, excitedly, as she hops up and down as she peeks over Yua&#039;s arm into the oven. She at least has her loafers on, and not her claw feet, with her sailor&#039;s dress over her dusky chassis, her green ponytail bouncing. &amp;quot;A mission! A mission!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Ha ha... you&#039;re so energetic,&amp;quot; Yua smiles, as she pulls the tray of cupcakes from the oven with her big, fluffy mitts. &amp;quot;You really like fighting, don&#039;t you, Tykko...?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Sure do!&amp;quot; Tyrrha chirps, brightly, as she scampers out of the way to let Yua put the cupcakes on the countertop. &amp;quot;It&#039;s great fun, mama!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Is that what the youth think...?&amp;quot; Yua sighs, but fondly, as she leaves the tray to air. &amp;quot;Come, come. Let&#039;s get the icing together...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    There&#039;s a front door to their penthouse, of course -- accessible by a private elevator which goes up the ten floors of Pyramid Plaza. Of course, the vaguely pyramidal shape of that building means that a particularly enterprising ninja &#039;&#039;might&#039;&#039; climb up the side... but who would clamber up onto the balcony with all its many plants and the bee hive to support them in the &#039;&#039;middle of the day?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Kurou Ryouhara has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To attempt such an entry would be absurd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Absurdly, to glance to balcony in this moment sees a silhouette who should not be there by standards of sanity, but who one might argue &#039;&#039;should&#039;&#039; be there by matter of following the Ryouhara shirogarasu&#039;s orders. Shiryuu was clear: Kurou is to supply active protection to the Ijuuin clan and their relations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Right now, he is contemplating how bees fit into that scenario, blinking as he watches one crawl over his ring finger, inspecting the one nail of his hand that&#039;s painted bright yellow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(That plants, of course, were already part of this careful consideration and navigated around to harm not a single leaf. It would be poor ninja work to disturb them regardless.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;... Fluffy...&amp;quot; he murmurs, before it determines a lack of pollen and takes off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kurou&#039;s eyes lift with it, landing upon the balcony door. He&#039;s dressed in his casual clothing and usual hoodie and excessively strap adorned pants, but also has a woven basket with lid strapped to his back. Securing it as such made the climb much simpler.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike his shihaisha might, Kurou at least knocks in this scenario with a couple soft taps of the back of his knuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Hello, Ijuuin-sensei.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe don&#039;t greet like you&#039;re already supposed to be here, Kurou...!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Yua Ijuuin has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    Japanese honeybees are friendly enough sorts; Kurou is more than gentle enough to avoid scaring that one into &#039;&#039;stinging&#039;&#039; him. He&#039;ll note a closed-off greenhouse, on the large, expansive balcony, within which are notably &#039;&#039;poisonous&#039;&#039; plants... and there are even some large bonsai &#039;&#039;trees&#039;&#039; growing here, four-handed and six-handed, with a few medium two-handed ones which seem more decorative.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    There&#039;s also a pool, on stairs leading up to the highest section of rooftop. An actual goddamn pool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    You people have too much money...!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    There&#039;s a conch shell, on the wall, beside the sliding glass door leading into the home. Knock, knock...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;That&#039;s an aberrant signal, y&#039;all!&amp;quot; Tyrrha cries, as she drops the icing-bag on the countertop and whirls to face the sliding door. Vents open in her shoulders as mechanical processes shift beneath her dress, shredding it in favour of sliding a mechanical hood over her face and shoulders, a skirt far more fit for &#039;&#039;battle&#039;&#039; forming from some hidden process. &amp;quot;Locking on--!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Tykko, Tykko, Tykko!!&amp;quot; Yua yelps, wrapping both arms around the taller girl&#039;s waist, just before she can discharge her loafers and leap out at him with all the glory of her &#039;&#039;claw feets.&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;It&#039;s okay, it&#039;s okay! That&#039;s just Ryouhara-kun! Remember what we said about the Ryouharas, sweetie?!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Eh?&amp;quot; Tyrrha asks, ominous two-banded red glowing circles beneath that dark hood focusing on her &#039;mother&#039;. &amp;quot;But he just appeared on the balcony... there&#039;s no stairs, mama...?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;It&#039;s really okay!&amp;quot; Yua insists, hurrying forward to put herself &#039;&#039;between&#039;&#039; the two murderous youth before &#039;&#039;Kurou&#039;&#039; can get any ideas. &amp;quot;They like climbing, Tykko! That&#039;s all! Right, Ryouhara-kun? You don&#039;t mean any harm!&amp;quot; Right????&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Kurou Ryouhara has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Kurou pauses when his idle observation of the plants lands on the poisonous variety. Memories reach through a thick fog, and he thinks he almost knows their names before he remembers to keep his attention on why he&#039;s here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
... There is a lot here. So much here. It&#039;s not like his little hovel was, or like Umie&#039;s apartment is, or even like his childhood home, when he tries to think back to it. He wonders how much effort it took to get all of this so high up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But he has become an &#039;&#039;aberrant signal&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A girl he does recognize rapidly morphs into a combat-ready instrument of destruction, and Kurou&#039;s eyes gleam in the light, sparkling with his good fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(And maybe a bit of jealousy at &#039;&#039;claw feets&#039;&#039;.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Except -- except Yua does not like the turn of events that is happening. Kurou, dutiful, disciplined Kurou, feels a rare ember of temptation when Yua asks him to clarify he means no harm. If he says &#039;&#039;no&#039;&#039;, then...!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Mama,&#039;&#039; Tyrrha says, and that is enough to remind Kurou of reality. To lie would reflect poorly on Shiryuu, endanger Ijuuin-sensei, and injuries against her &#039;&#039;daughter&#039;&#039; in unsanctioned combat would be harming a family he is tasked with protecting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But there is a brief moment where Kurou&#039;s gaze drifts to Yua&#039;s middle. He is not experienced in matters of pregnancy or childbirth, but... yes. Right. An older sibling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I do not,&amp;quot; Kurou confirms. He pulls the basket from his pack. &amp;quot;I am here to verify your health and well being, and offer any assistance you may require.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Yua Ijuuin has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Haa... see...?&amp;quot; Yua asks, as she goes over to the glass door, to slide it open, and reach for Kurou&#039;s hand to help him inside. &amp;quot;Ryouhara-kun&#039;s a friend, so don&#039;t worry...!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Fine, fine...&amp;quot; Tyrrha sighs, as she steps out of her loafers, instead -- why does she have CLAWS for FEET -- and that mechanical disguise folds back into her body to reveal her metallic chassis. It is, mercifully, entirely G-rated; whoever they took this chassis design from intended their mechanical girls to be able to just walk around without clothes and not raise eyebrows about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    (Where &#039;&#039;did&#039;&#039; that chassis design come from, though? The in-built disguise might be new, but if Kurou&#039;s ever met Aigis, he might be feeling a &#039;&#039;striking&#039;&#039; bit of de-ja vu...)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Sweetie, you&#039;ve got to stop shredding your dresses,&amp;quot; Yua sighs, as she guides him in. &amp;quot;I promise the world&#039;s not as scary as you think.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Awwwh, fiiine,&amp;quot; Tyrrha pouts, tapping her claws on the ground, as she folds her hands behind her head. Her eyes look more normally red, now -- but Kurou might be able to pick up how mechanical they are, after seeing that &#039;&#039;glow.&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;But can I at least still fight him later?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Tykko!&amp;quot; Yua protests. &amp;quot;We don&#039;t fight our friends!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Yeaaaah but he wants to! Right, fella?&amp;quot; Tyrrha cants her head and her elbows all at once, looking past Yua to Kurou.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Kurou Ryouhara has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Kurou blinks once as his hand is taken, but he offers no resistance as he&#039;s led along. A friend... Ah, so Ijuuin-sensei is a friend, too. He will need to remember that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tyrrha&#039;s disappointment is palpable, or is that matter of projection? Claw feets, and all those moving, metal parts. Kurou cannot help from staring at Tyrrha as he tries to piece together what he&#039;s seeing and make sense of it in the shape of a person who is speaking and thinking and wanting. He has never met Aigis or any other deployed robot model, at least not up close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately for Yuamama, Kurou answers the question of fighting with the blunt and candid truth:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Yes.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
... Wait, he should elaborate. He lifts the lid from the basket as tries to find empty space on the table to set it on: it&#039;s filled with various breads fortified with folic acid, a jar of yuzu marmalade, and a small bag of ginger chews. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Such a gifts might be a little late on the timeline...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kurou looks from Tyrrha to Yua. &amp;quot;But friends do &#039;play&#039;. Among young animals, play is practice for important survival skills like hunting and self-defense...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His eyes do not glow like Tyrrha&#039;s, but his pupils do dilate not unlike a puppy&#039;s as he makes his case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Yua Ijuuin has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    Yua sighs, looking from Kurou to Tyrrha. &amp;quot;Haa... Mimi, where are yooooou...? You&#039;d know how to deal with something like this...!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    (The camera here cuts out to zoom in through the windows of Katou Corporation&#039;s executive offices -- where it finds Miho, face flat of all expression, as she clicks through an earnings spreadsheet with just the slightest hint of contempt in her razor-sharp gaze.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Moooouuuuuu,&amp;quot; Yua pouts, her shoulders sagging.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Mimama says that practice is part of perfection,&amp;quot; Tyrrha points out, raising a finger. &amp;quot;Don&#039;t that cover fightin&#039;, too?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Yua, outnumbered and outvoted, sighs with a smile. &amp;quot;All right, all right... but you need to talk to Mimi about sparring properly first, okay? I don&#039;t want you two really hurting each other!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Sure, sure!&amp;quot; Tyrrha grins, goodnaturedly. &amp;quot;I&#039;ll go ask right now!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Wait!&amp;quot; Yua calls, as she turns to bounce towards the door. &amp;quot;Your feets! And put on a dress! And -- and Mimi&#039;s at work!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Oh, yeah,&amp;quot; Tyrrha says, as she turns back and clomps back into her loafers and clicks them back into place. &amp;quot;No worries, mama! I&#039;ll put somethin&#039; else on! An&#039; it&#039;s almost lunchtime, anyway, so nankuru nai sa!&amp;quot; That last bit &#039;&#039;wasn&#039;t&#039;&#039; Japanese, one notes, though Yua seems to know just what it means.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Ah--&amp;quot; Yua starts, but Tyrrha&#039;s already bustling down to her room to get a new dress. She sighs, shaking her head, as she turns to Kurou and his basket. &amp;quot;It&#039;s fine,&amp;quot; she assures him, gently. &amp;quot;We&#039;ve been teaching her how to act outside... she&#039;ll be fine, right...?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Here, he has... gifts...!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They&#039;re wonderful,&amp;quot; Yua smiles, as she examines the ginger and marmalade and &#039;&#039;bread.&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Maybe I shouldn&#039;t say this, but my stomach still gives me a lot of trouble... it&#039;s a little better now I have medications which work, but I need to be very careful, these days.&amp;quot; She shakes her head, looking to her cupcakes. &amp;quot;Still, I don&#039;t want Mimi to have to eat bland chicken all the time... would you like to help me decorate these, instead, Ryouhara-kun? There&#039;s plenty for you to take back for the others, too!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Kurou Ryouhara has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Ijuuin clan is a well woven group. Yua is in despair this very moment that her mate is not sharing this moment with her and her child. There do seem to be a number of cupcakes &#039;Mimama&#039; is unable to partake of.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clearly, this is the mou-prompting issue, and absolutely nothing else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Yua agrees, Kurou perks up, a little straighter, and he turns to share a look with Tyrrha in acknowledgment that their collective logic was granted them this victory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He watches the exchange in his impassive, attentive way, only losing his visual focus as he considers what &#039;nankuru nai sa&#039; might mean. Kurou looks down to his own shoes and wiggles his toes within them... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then the robotic whirlwind is gone, hunting for a new disguise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Will it be fine...?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;She demonstrates quick reflexes and willingness to act when necessary,&amp;quot; Kurou assures Yua with a nod, not quite grasping these are &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; the chief concerns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He straightens a bit again as Yua finds the gifts acceptable. Kurou wasn&#039;t sure... he tried to do research on the needs and discomforts involved. It&#039;s a time of increased vulnerability, and he meant it, when he praised Tyrrha: if Kurou &#039;&#039;had&#039;&#039; been a threat, she acted without hesitation to defend Yua.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Why should you not say it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Isn&#039;t it better everyone know, so they can address it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But cupcakes...!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kurou bows deeply to Yua. &amp;quot;It will be done.&amp;quot; He rises. &amp;quot;But I do not require such payment. You have worked hard to make these for your family.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Yua Ijuuin has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    Don&#039;t worry, Kurou! Miho will be back this evening, and she can have delicious cupcakes then!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Yua never knows how much overtime they&#039;ll make her do before she can get back, though... they seem to be holding her back more and more. And asking her to work on Sundays, and calling her when she has days off, and... and...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Mooouuuu, that&#039;s too much!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;She&#039;s very capable,&amp;quot; Yua smiles, to Kurou, and she&#039;s clearly quite proud. &amp;quot;Sometimes she can act a little strangely, but... it&#039;s fine, it&#039;s fine!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be going now~!&amp;quot; Tyrrha chirps, from the door, dress thrown on as she leaves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Take care!&amp;quot; Yua calls, after her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    She takes a breath, as she pulls up her kitchen stool to the countertop; she breathes a little heavily, as she sits. &amp;quot;Ah... it&#039;s considered rude on the mainland to speak about the particulars of one&#039;s pregnancy,&amp;quot; Yua explains, her smile a touch wan. &amp;quot;Though I suppose the rules are a little different for your family...? Shishi was all right hearing it, too...&amp;quot; Shishi. Shishi! &#039;&#039;The shihaisha Shiryuu.&#039;&#039; It might almost sound disrespectful, if Yua&#039;s tone didn&#039;t clearly carry him in esteem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;They say the second trimester is meant to be easier... but it&#039;s still quite hard.&amp;quot; She sighs, shaking her head. &amp;quot;Still... Tykko is happy to get into fights so I don&#039;t have to... so I&#039;m able to take it a little easier.&amp;quot; She blinks, as she looks up, suddenly, her one crimson eye seeking out Kurou with surprise. &amp;quot;Oh! Oh, no! It was such a tizzy, I didn&#039;t even introduce you two properly...! Oh, and Tykko&#039;s already run off... oh, well, I&#039;ll make sure she knows. If you haven&#039;t heard, that&#039;s Tyrrha, dear... she&#039;s under our guardianship from now on. We say it&#039;s because she was a cousin whose parents met a poor fate, but it&#039;s really an order from the Powers that Be... she&#039;s from a similar program to mine.&amp;quot; &#039;Program&#039;...? &amp;quot;... well, I intend to protect her,&amp;quot; Yua says, with a light pause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;But please don&#039;t feel you&#039;re imposing,&amp;quot; she insists, as she whips up a little blue frosting to top a cupcake. &amp;quot;You&#039;re friends of the family, Ryouhara-kun! On the islands, we say &#039;&#039;ichariba choodee,&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; and this, too, is not &#039;&#039;quite&#039;&#039; Japanese, though Yua helpfully translates this time, &amp;quot;&#039;from the moment we meet, we become family&#039;. Your clan&#039;s helped protect us diligently... so I want you to have cupcakes, too, okay?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Kurou Ryouhara has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
See? It &#039;&#039;is&#039;&#039; the reason for &#039;&#039;mooouuu!&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;She seems less strange than most,&amp;quot; Kurou admits in a more sincere moment than his flat affect might imply. But Kurou&#039;s parameters for &#039;strange&#039; and &#039;not strange&#039; are, perhaps, not to be trusted...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Tyrrha hurries out, Kurou bows to her as well. &amp;quot;I will fill in while you are away.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In cupcakes, and in jumping anyone unidentified on the property.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Oh,&amp;quot; Kurou says, but not with any true realization. He is not understanding &#039;&#039;why&#039;&#039; it should be considered a rude topic of discussion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I am unaware of any surrounding etiquette, but... &#039;Shishi&#039;...&amp;quot; The word leaves his mouth almost &#039;&#039;dazed.&#039;&#039; Shishi... Kurou wonders how Shiryuu reacts to that name. He wonders how Akabane-san would react to it. Perhaps that is a traitorous thought...? &amp;quot;Ah... That is... I cannot imagine he would forbid such an important topic from discussion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s a medical situation, and one requiring proper care for mother and children, after all. But Yua is still struggling... Kurou will remember that for his report.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His gaze darkens and dips to the floor at the mention of a &#039;program&#039;. The &#039;Powers that Be&#039;... Yua and Tyrrha both....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;... Then Tyrrha-san is also under our protection.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is true under the weight of his orders as a Ryouhara shinobi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The way Kurou&#039;s fingers curl, nails burrowing into his palm, signals it is true under the weight of his own heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His gaze snaps back up as his fingers flinch away, just shy of turning those new crescent marks upon his skin red. Oh, right, she did call him a friend before. Kurou wanted to remember, but it&#039;s hard to remember something you don&#039;t understand intuitively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I see.&amp;quot; Kurou watches the way Yua decorates the cupcakes a moment before methodically mimicking her technique to begin assisting in the decoration. But even Kurou is not immune to the delight that is colored frosting, eyeing it with increasing interest as it takes shape upon the cupcake&#039;s surface. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;... Thank you, Ijuuin-san. I will be sure to share with the others.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Yua Ijuuin has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;You two are a lot alike, aren&#039;t you?&amp;quot; Yua wonders, hearing Kurou call Tyrrha &#039;&#039;less strange.&#039;&#039; But then -- &#039;&#039;Shishi!&#039;&#039; -- and Yua giggles, seeing Kurou dazed by the nickname. &amp;quot;It&#039;s because he&#039;s the &#039;&#039;shihaisha,&#039;&#039; and his name is Shiryuu-san!&amp;quot; She explains, helpfully. &amp;quot;If it&#039;s shortened down, that&#039;s Shi-Shi... Shishi! Once I realised he really wasn&#039;t a child given his circumstances, calling him Ryouhara-kun wasn&#039;t really appropriate... but I wanted to greet him more warmly than his title, since we didn&#039;t meet under very good circumstances.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    She smiles, as she adds: &amp;quot;That&#039;s right... he&#039;s really very kind about this sort of thing, though I suppose he wouldn&#039;t want me saying such a thing about him in public. But we&#039;re in the home,&amp;quot; she decides, with a cheerful smile, &amp;quot;so it&#039;s fine!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    how does she &#039;&#039;sparkle&#039;&#039; like that how are there &#039;&#039;little flowers in her portrait&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    She&#039;s more serious, though, as Kurou affirms that Tyrrha is part of the family &#039;&#039;too&#039;&#039; -- or at least that&#039;s how she hears it, as he extends their protection to her. &amp;quot;Thank you,&amp;quot; she says, reaching a hand towards his -- though she doesn&#039;t &#039;&#039;push&#039;&#039; the matter. If he relaxes his fist, that&#039;s fine enough. &amp;quot;She&#039;s very strong... but she&#039;s vulnerable, too. Being designated her mother is a little sudden, but... I&#039;ll protect her, too!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Yua seems far too fragile to be a &#039;&#039;mother bear,&#039;&#039; particularly when Miho&#039;s in frame beside her, but perhaps one oughtn&#039;t count out the delicate women. Regardless of how much of a reserved flower she might have been, samurai women have always responded to attacks on the home with their naginata, after all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;What do you think?&amp;quot; She asks, inviting Kurou&#039;s creativity out, as she gestures his attention to the various types of &#039;&#039;sprinkles.&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Silver stars, or gold and silver baubles, or hundreds-and-thousands, or rainbow stars...?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Kurou Ryouhara has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Are we?&amp;quot; Kurou&#039;s head tilts slightly to one side before his gaze drops to his feet and back to Yua again. He does not, regrettably, have the claw feets... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Yua speaks wisdom of Shiryuu&#039;s nickname, and Kurou nods slowly in comprehension as he is enlightened. Shiryuu and shihaisha and shirogarasu...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Shishi... shi...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kurou presses his mouth together more tightly, as if he could erase having said anything at all. This is Yua&#039;s term, and not for Kurou to use. Shiryuu would not allow it, regardless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Yes,&amp;quot; he agrees simply of her next point. Shiryuu is very kind, would not want it said, &#039;&#039;and&#039;&#039; they are in private, so they can say it anyway. Kurou looks at her with a new sense of wonder. &amp;quot;You know him very well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kurou isn&#039;t oblivious to the demeanor and image Shiryuu tries to uphold as the leader of their clan. For Yua to cut through it... She possesses a powerful insight. It is one that recognizes his own tension, though Kurou does not know what to do as her hand reaches out. It is with blank uncertainty that his own hand is obediently offered... which certainly works to force him to relax his fist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dance class has shown Kurou what immense strength is needed to appear delicate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You told her... the world is not as scary as she thinks. That is true because you are her mother.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the world is a cruel place with monstrous people and unrelenting tragedies. Surely Yua must know it... but to be from a &#039;similar&#039; program with similar suffering means she would know how to shield Tyrrha best.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Part of that is... &#039;&#039;cupcakes?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not only does Yua sparkle and flower, she is &#039;&#039;infectious&#039;&#039;. Kurou&#039;s expression may not change, but the more he experiences &#039;&#039;cupcake time&#039;&#039;, the more there is a sense of &#039;&#039;glitter&#039;&#039; to his aura. He looks up at the offering of sprinkles, and feels an ember crackle, similar to the masks at Umie&#039;s craft table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a choice with no right answers. And thus, it is a choice with no &#039;&#039;wrong&#039;&#039; answers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kurou gingerly takes hold of the hundreds-and-thousands in one hand and rainbow stars in the other, dual wielding sprinkles for a balanced mix of multicolored cupcake crimes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Yua Ijuuin has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;I think so!&amp;quot; Yua insists, despite his regrettable lack of claws.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Perhaps one day, Kurou...!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Yua giggles, hearing Kurou add another &#039;shi&#039;. &amp;quot;Hee hee... so there&#039;s another &#039;shi&#039;! It&#039;s fun, right? Like... when I want to be &#039;&#039;really&#039;&#039; cute, I add the English &#039;me&#039; to Mimi&#039;s name... Memimi! When sounds repeat, it&#039;s really the best! Memimimemimimemimimemimimemimi...&amp;quot; That&#039;s too many &#039;mimis&#039;, Yua. That&#039;s illegal. You&#039;re going to get reported to the kawaii police with that much verbal stimming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    There may be some truth, though, to the idea that these terms are Yua&#039;s... one needs a &#039;&#039;strong&#039;&#039; cuteness power to get away with nicknames like Mimi and Shishi, especially when they&#039;re applied to such severe titans as &#039;&#039;Miho&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Shiryuu.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    There&#039;s something disarming to the way she grasps his hand, gently, in both of hers -- whether due to the risk of meeting her &#039;&#039;armed&#039;&#039; or the strength in her own fingertips is a question unanswered. Yua smiles, to him, as she clasps his hand. &amp;quot;That&#039;s right. Ah, but the world is scary for you, too, isn&#039;t it...? I may not be your mother, but so long as I have my way, our home will be an easy and gentle place... I hope you&#039;ll visit us whenever you&#039;d like a revitalising snack!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Her fingers smooth over his, encouraging the tension from them -- and there&#039;s a fabric decoration, stretched over the back of her right hand, from a ring around the middle of her finger to a bracelet at her wrist. On her left, a wedding ring, mokume-gane and worth a year&#039;s salary of lesser men.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    She knows what it means to suffer. Equally, she knows that Kurou is still one of her students... and he weighs his work with the clan with as much gravity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    ... and she knows that his fingers dig into his palm, when he recognises the weight on another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    (Yua would be relieved if she knew that Kurou had seen another kind of insightful empathy in his own home. The similarities between herself and Shiryuu&#039;s woman are things she&#039;s personally recognised; for Umie&#039;s benefit, she recognises them at a lonely distance. She reports to too many people...)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    She releases him from her grasp to encourage him to &#039;&#039;cupcakes,&#039;&#039; and those hands clap together, when he selects &#039;&#039;two rainbows.&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;That looks so good!&amp;quot; She praises his choice, brightly. &amp;quot;I bet someone with a lively spirit will love a cupcake decorated that way...! Hmm, hmm... oh, can you bring one back for Shishi, for me? A man like him...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    She takes white frosting to another cupcake, and peppers it with those more dignified gold and silver baubles. &amp;quot;If I&#039;m going to trick him into having a yummy cupcake, it needs to be a little dignified... don&#039;t you think so?&amp;quot; She wonders, as she carefully shakes them out to have the proper spacing. &amp;quot;He has a lot of responsibilities, so he needs a &#039;&#039;sensible cupcake...!&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    What? A man with so many responsibilities can&#039;t be eating a housewife&#039;s cupcakes? No, that can&#039;t be right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;And Mimi,&amp;quot; Yua adds, as she takes up the blue frosting again, &amp;quot;she doesn&#039;t mind loosening up when it&#039;s with me, but her beauty is elegant... so I&#039;ll give her nice sensible baubles on cute blue frosting! Mm, mm! A cuppy cake for Mimi...!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    There&#039;s so much wisdom to be learned about &#039;&#039;cuppy cakes...&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Kurou will have to study hard!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Kurou Ryouhara has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Kurou considers the cuteness with a furrowing of his brow. So this is another aspect of &#039;cute&#039;... But also of... fun? Repeating Miho&#039;s nickname seems even more disrespectful. Truly, Yua&#039;s power in this far exceeds his own. What name might a Kurou be able to get away with saying...?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hold that thought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She takes his hand and smiles, and /disarmed/ might indeed bethe best word, as even Kurou&#039;s attention is pinned to her for the moment. He does not have to answer her, because Yua already knows that she is right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An easy and gentle place... It really does take immense strength to be able to create such a place in a world such as this...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This means cupcakes are powerful, and Yua is powerful at cupcakes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So powerful that Yua is even making Kurou willingly nod along, party to her own plot to cupcake his shihaisha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kurou listens, and Kurou learns, and as he adds colorful, rainbow sprinkles (while praised!!!!), Kurou begins to whisper to himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Nijijijijijijijiji...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Glorious! Magnificent! Truly resplendent! I am engulfed by anguished longing to behold such a captivating presence...! Oh, pray, give me a name! An epithet that I can engrave into my heart as long as it beats! A... &#039;tater tot&#039;? Exquisite.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To most of the world, Pernelle is the pet and living mascot of Peacock Silk boutique. As an exceptionally well behaved peacock, Pernelle is beloved by all, yes, yes? But those who have awakened to Persona can hear this bird speak, revealing an excitable, theatrical avian with a bombastic demeanor. Within supernatural spaces, Pernelle is a creature with more anthropomorphic -- if cartoonish -- features, though still very much a peacock in shape with an ostentatious heart and soul. His true loyalties ultimately lie with Peacock Silk&#039;s owner, Tsumugi, above all else, but he is otherwise a lover of freedom and an incorrigible cheerleader of selfish impulses. Pernelle is more than happy to play anyone&#039;s shoulder devil, and always has an encouraging word to give... even for his enemies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Oh, come now, let&#039;s not get caught up in insignificant details like &#039;what is Pernelle, really&#039; and &#039;where the hell did this talking bird come from&#039;. All you need to know is that you have stumbled upon the great fortune of Pernelle&#039;s adorable company!&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Anqa:&#039;&#039;&#039; Anqa is a beautiful, doll-like bird sewn together from golden silk, with conspicuous iridescent stitching and gemstones for eyes. Her face resembles falcon&#039;s upon the long neck of a heron, and she is in possession of a long train of feathers made of sashes that smear into a brilliant sunset gradient. The plumage on her head, resembling a peafowl&#039;s crest, is a row of sewing pins. Occasionally, the stitched seams of the bird separate, and something dark and amorphous threatens to reveal itself before it sews itself back up. (A mythical bird said to only appear once an age, and can only be found at a place  of the setting sun. Though she was originally made of all perfections and a bringer of good fortune and wisdom, it is said that she eventually became a plague that brought calamity, and had to be slain.)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Minato Arisato has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    Minato survived his exams..! There&#039;s only one thing left to do...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    ... work a part-time job at Screen Shot Cinema to get a bit of extra cash for the holidays.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Accordingly: Minato is in &#039;&#039;uniform,&#039;&#039; as he stands at the counter. &amp;quot;Here&#039;s your ticket,&amp;quot; he says, for the umpteenth time that afternoon. &amp;quot;Please enjoy the film.&amp;quot; He has a script for this, you see. It&#039;s &#039;&#039;very&#039;&#039; useful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    The fact that he&#039;s a cool, mysterious boy with haunting blue eyes and striking blue hair might help with sales, but never mind that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Luckily, when he&#039;s working jobs like this, he never has to go off-script. The script is for work, and it is saviour to us all...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Yoko Hirano has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
    There&#039;s a cat that lives at Iwatodai Station.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Yoko has seen it and fed it a lot and it let her touch it the other day! Only for the briefest of seconds before it grabbed one last takoyaki and ran away, but she got to pet the kitty. No saint in any Renaissance painting felt heaven&#039;s light shining down the way Yoko did. A special halo of Chosenness followed her all the way back to her dorm!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    She was relieved to find out that it didn&#039;t glow in the dark, and she was able to get to sleep at a reasonable hour on a school night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Maybe it changed something about her on a spiritual level, because shortly after Enigma let her touch it, she saw another cat while waiting for the train at Port Island Station. A completely different cat! Takoyaki doesn&#039;t seem to be working on them. Maybe it&#039;s too cold and unappetizing from a ride across the bay...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    So, with respect for what Officer Suou suggested, Yoko has brought a bag of cat kibble and a plastic bowl from that convenience store at the other end of Iwatodai. Lucky Something-or-other. But Port Island is kind of busy right now, and she can&#039;t see the new cat. ...Well, she could go... see a movie or something? Or go shopping? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Maybe there&#039;s something good playing. Yoko wanders closer to the marquee, hands wrapped around the crossbody strap of her bag. She completely misses Minato at the ticket booth. Just... just give her a minute, maybe.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Kurou Ryouhara has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Kurou also survived his exams. He does not yet know which sticker he has earned for himself, but his grades have been steadily improving. He&#039;s not sure what &#039;&#039;Bakudan Corps&#039;&#039; levels are in this context, but he&#039;d prefer to live up to his shirogarasu&#039;s expectations... and not just because there might be candy in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Exams, are, however, not to be Kurou&#039;s primary concern in life. (What are they going to do? Send him to NINJA COLLEGE?) (That&#039;s classified.) He must keep on his other assignments, and that includes keeping an eye on a certain green-eyed girl. Hopefully, this time, without any cops to threaten her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There &#039;&#039;is&#039;&#039; another cat around, though. How unlucky he only notices it when he needs to focus on his assignment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, is she going to go see a movie...? Kurou will have to be close enough to hear and see it too. It could also serve as a clue to her &#039;deal&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
... So there is he, silently and thus suddenly, staring unblinkingly at the marquee alongside Yoko.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here, Kurou comes to his own realization: he knows absolutely nothing about cinema.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Minato Arisato has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    The back alleys are &#039;&#039;dangerous,&#039;&#039; of course. There&#039;s a street cop warning people away from them. Even so, sometimes cats wander in, because police don&#039;t watch the &#039;&#039;cats.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Good afternoon,&amp;quot; Minato says, in stock footage. &amp;quot;Would you like to see a movie today? Today, we&#039;re showing &#039;The More Than Dreamin&#039;.&amp;quot; There&#039;s a poster for it up! Apparently, it&#039;s a film about an alien visitor...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    But the alien visitor might be &#039;&#039;Minato,&#039;&#039; because it&#039;s at that point he looks down from the booth, and blinks, realising just who his kouhai is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;You have cat food.&amp;quot; That&#039;s not part of the script. &amp;quot;There&#039;s a cat...&amp;quot; That&#039;s not part of the script either!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    He looks behind her, then, to Kurou.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Is this your friend,&amp;quot; he asks Yoko, significantly, having noticed that he&#039;s walked up &#039;&#039;right&#039;&#039; alongside her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Yoko Hirano has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
    Candy is a powerful motivator...! So are stickers. Yoko&#039;s current motivation seems to be something along the lines of &#039;feed every cat&#039;, like she&#039;s going to get an achievement or something for it. But she keeps revisiting the cats that she&#039;s already fed...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    She doesn&#039;t recognize any of these movies. Wasn&#039;t there supposed to be a movie about an artist who met a girl and he decided that she was going to be his muse, but conveniently forgot to tell her about it...? (Yoko that movie came out last year.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Thankfully Arisato-senpai is here. Why is Arisato-senpai here? Yoko opens her mouth to greet him, when he asks about... her friend. She cranes her head around and-- &amp;quot;!&amp;quot; Blink, blink. &amp;quot;...Ryouhara-san.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    1. She didn&#039;t hear him arrive. He was quiet last time though. So that&#039;s normal.&lt;br /&gt;
    2. Arisato-senpai sees him too. So he&#039;s probably really here. Another point for &#039;total silence&#039; just being how Kurou Ryouhara rolls.&lt;br /&gt;
    3. Is he her friend yet? They&#039;ve met twice. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Yoko nods, carefully adjusting the bag of cat food tucked securely next to her messenger bag. &amp;quot;Yes. This is Kurou Ryouhara. Ryouhara-san, this is Minato Arisato. My senpai at Gekkoukan.&amp;quot; Pause. &amp;quot;...I saw a cat in the alley here, but it didn&#039;t want takoyaki. So I adjusted the cat summoning method.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Kurou Ryouhara has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Kurou continues to stare at this movie problem, eyes moving the postures. ... Are there any about cats? Why does he keep thinking about cats? He maintains his statue-stare even as Minato points out her &#039;friend&#039; -- this does not apply to him -- only turning his head toward Yoko when she greets him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blank as ever, he mirrors that same blink, blink. &amp;quot;Hirano-san.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Yes,&#039;&#039; Yoko affirms of friendship. Ah, this &#039;&#039;does&#039;&#039; apply to him. He is friends with Yoko now. This should make aspects of his assignment easier going forward. He turns and gives Minato a bow deep enough to be considered overly formal. &amp;quot;It is nice to meet you, Arisato-san.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cat summoning... Is that &#039;&#039;her&#039;&#039; current mission? Very well. Kurou taps his lip in thought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;... The scent is important.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Minato Arisato has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Ryouhara-san,&amp;quot; Minato nods, stoic, to Kurou. Having determined that Yoko is not being stalked by a creep, he steps down his alarm levels from Alarmed to Cool, as God intended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;I see... please excuse me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Minato leaves the booth, and heads out back. &amp;quot;Hey, Manager,&amp;quot; he greets his boss, respectfully. &amp;quot;I&#039;m stepping out for my lunch break.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Eh?&amp;quot; His boss asks, looking over to him. &amp;quot;You haven&#039;t taken one yet? Sure, sure. I&#039;ll have someone cover you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Thank you,&amp;quot; Minato bows his head, and steps out with Yoko and Kurou.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Importantly: he&#039;s still wearing the hat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;I&#039;m now on my lunch break,&amp;quot; he assures them. &amp;quot;So I have a short time to find this cat with you. Let&#039;s commence the mission.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Yoko&#039;s not part of SEES, Minato! You can&#039;t just mission commencies on an unrelated girl!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Yoko Hirano has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
    It&#039;s strangely reassuring to be around Kurou Ryouhara. He doesn&#039;t seem to get excited easily, his voice is even, and he&#039;s polite! Plus he keeps an open mind about vampire bakers, even if he was prepared to immediately take anti-vampire measures. (Please don&#039;t stab Katsuya with your earring, Kurou...)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Minato speaks with his manager, so Yoko nods at Kurou&#039;s observation about the smelliness being important. &amp;quot;Yes. Takoyaki from the stall in Iwatodai works really well to attract the cat there. But by the time I got over here with it, it was cooled off. I don&#039;t think the cat here could smell it as well.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shehould she have brought canned food? But if the cat doesn&#039;t show itself, the dry food will last longer... but it might not discover the dry food, either...!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    The bag crinkles as Yoko&#039;s train of thought grows more and more dire!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Thankfully, Minato is back with cool and calm direction. Kurou&#039;s steady capability will definitely help them get through, no matter what. Yoko doesn&#039;t have to worry so much. &amp;quot;Senpai was the one who showed me how to summon the cat at Iwatodai Station. If anybody can do it, he can.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Yoko, sweetie, this isn&#039;t exactly life-or-death...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Kurou Ryouhara has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Don&#039;t worry, Yoko: now that Kurou knows Katsuya isn&#039;t a vampire, he knows a silver earring would be a terribly ineffective object to stab him with!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But right now, it&#039;s about cats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kurou nods slowly with Yoko&#039;s report on the situation. &amp;quot;Heat to carry the smell... But fire may attract police attention...&amp;quot; As the bag crinkles, Kurou&#039;s eyes move to consider it. &amp;quot;... Adding hot water. A thermos? Or ordering from a coffee shop...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kurou would, straight faced, order hot plain water at a coffee shop. But he&#039;s always straight faced...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Minato returns to commence the mission, and Kurou gives him a firm nod of assent. It is always best to follow the command of someone who has experience with the objective. &amp;quot;Thank you for your offering us your expertise, Arisato-san.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Minato Arisato has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    Minato is much the same way: calm, cool, and collected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Maybe &#039;&#039;he&#039;s&#039;&#039; a secret ninja, too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Smoke will alarm the cat,&amp;quot; Minato advises Kurou, calmly. &amp;quot;But since Hirano-san mentioned the scent, I&#039;ve come up with a plan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    He reaches into his pocket, and pulls out... &#039;&#039;a packet of tuna.&#039;&#039; It&#039;s one of those snack-pack ones which comes with a little tin and some crackers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;I&#039;m on my lunch break,&amp;quot; Minato explains, &amp;quot;since I didn&#039;t take it before. However, I believe my lunch will effectively draw the cat&#039;s attention. Let&#039;s proceed to a quiet location.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    He takes them past the pillars to a nice, quiet part of the station with a bench... not too far from the alleys which the officers are warning them from. Here, he cracks open the can of tuna, and hands it to Yoko so that she can spread it atop her bowl of kibble.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    And proceeds to eat the crackers himself. C&#039;mon. It&#039;s his lunch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    &amp;quot;Now we wait.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Minato proceeds to wait, in dead silence, until a cat appears to investigate the scraps of tuna... and find a lot of kibble to go with it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Minato... truly is a leader in the field of locating cats, huh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Oh. Is that so?&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though Kurou may tend toward an alternative style more suited to nightclubs and raves -- with such disregard for convention not atypical of a Kasugayama High School student -- it is contrasted by a calm and docile disposition. Apparently lacking experience to inform his behavior, he often defers to even his most delinquent peers on how to navigate social situations, and accepts their word far too easily. What Kurou ultimately wants out of life is to find what he wants out of life. Yet, he seems far too self assured for someone who claims to be entirely aimless, and proves relentless in even simple assignments and routine chores. Whatever unspoken purpose drives him, it isn&#039;t enough to satisfy the hunger that lurks under his composed exterior. In his life&#039;s hunt, Kurou makes it a point to find wonder in all parts of life, from the mundane to the darkest sides of Sumaru.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Background =&lt;br /&gt;
There is much to say, but little will be said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several years ago, a listless boy began silently running errands during the Dark Hour for those in New World Order circles. The spark of life has since (re)awakened, bringing back the light in his eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Resonance can now detect a Persona.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He enrolled into Kasugayama High School as a second year around May 2012 -- about a month into the first semester.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gashadokuro:&#039;&#039;&#039; Humans that died in battle or of starvation, never given proper funeral rights, are said to sometimes merge together to form a single, skeletal monstrosity. Despite the titan size of Gashadokuro, it is silent in its approach, and may even possess the ability to turn invisible. Being made of bones and corpses of the already deceased, a Gashadokuro cannot be killed. It roams after midnight, hunting the living until the fury and hunger that animates it burns out.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;*&#039;&#039;&#039;Log: Threading the Needle&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Cast:&#039;&#039;&#039; [[Hazuki Nakao]], [[Roger]], [[Pernelle]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Where:&#039;&#039;&#039; Taro Nakata&#039;s Atelier&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;OOC Date:&#039;&#039;&#039; September 03, 2025&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;IC Date:&#039;&#039;&#039; July 05, 2012&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Summary&#039;&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;Hazuki bribes Pernelle to take her back to the Atelier. Getting intel from Roger, she learns how to get the &#039;thread&#039; to the &#039;eye&#039;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Hazuki Nakao has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
THEN:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hazuki Nakao has finally had the time and energy to get to work on helping Taro. She needs to find the thread and the eye... and the only source she can go to is Peacock Silk, at this time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When she arrives at their shop, everyone&#039;s busy... except for Pernelle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hazuki came prepared with tribute. A large box of fresh donuts from Shibuya, rushed over here warm, in a variety of flavors. She doesn&#039;t know what peacocks eat but he talks so it&#039;s fine, even if the donuts were OSTENSIBLY for Yanagi and Saika and even Tsumugi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I need you to take me back to that Atelier we met in.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NOW:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hazuki Nakao has a box of donuts under her arm, occasionally handing one to Pernelle. The strange, hard underfooting of the Atelier still bothers her, but she&#039;s looking for someone in specific for information. She could have stayed and asked Pernelle questions...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the real reason she&#039;s here is to check on Roger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Mister Pig! Roger! Where are you?&amp;quot; Hazuki cautiously calls out near the front gate, trying to make sure he&#039;s even still alive... no, don&#039;t think thoughts like that. He&#039;s okay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She&#039;s clad in the same white dress and wing armor as before, orange and ash grey hair and golden eyes shining outward. She&#039;s ready to fight if she has to, though she&#039;s hoping she doesn&#039;t.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn&#039;t bring her bat, because she had to carry donuts, so it BETTER be okay!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Roger has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;It&#039;s you agaiiin...!&amp;quot; That&#039;s &#039;Roger,&#039; which is the now agreed-upon name among those who were present of the bizarre pig-like entity who presented as - and acted as, and may very well be - a friend. He has a pronounced bump on his noggin with a crossed-over pair of bandages on top, and one of his tusks has been tied together by a cloth. He has exaggerated hatch mark bruises, like someone put them on there with a pencil, and a few large suspended balls of water hanging precariously underneath his eyes. (We would call them &#039;tears,&#039; normally, but this is very silly.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;Eeee,&amp;quot; he wheezes a squeal, &amp;quot;if I must be humble, it&#039;s not been very terrific... radiant&#039;s the last thing I&#039;d call what&#039;s been happening since you&#039;ve left...!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        ...He perks up immediately, coming up from a pathetic heap to being all smiles while balancing on those unnervingly thin legs he has.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;But now we can play together again! We&#039;re safe here for now... the Melanc Humors haven&#039;t been sending the Coleric Humors out this far!&amp;quot; He stops and tilts his upper body to the side inquisitively... and pensively. &amp;quot;That... probably means things are getting even worse...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        He brightens up again. &amp;quot;But I&#039;m glad you&#039;re here...!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Pernelle has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
From on high, there was Pernelle, gazing and awaiting the chance to pass judgment on those who would enter his domain. But his beak shuts as soon as it opens, for what do his eyes behold? Donuts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A request is made, and a contract is sealed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So it is that he struts along with Hazuki to help get her into the Atelier she so seeks, babbling on in his verbose and purple way. &amp;quot;Now, we must mind ourselves, for even with the powers that have woven themselves around you, there are still -- &#039;&#039;omnomnomnomnom&#039;&#039; -- ahem, what was it I was saying? Yes, of course, in the event that we are accosted by humors most foul, you may position yourself behind me to witness -- &#039;&#039;chompchompchomp&#039;&#039; --&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is it really this easy to get the peacock to do whatever you want...?!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But as Hazuki begins calling for Roger, Pernelle exhales, giving a solemn bow of his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ah, that brave boar. The bravest boar, sacrificing himself for the sake of your escape. I knew him for but the slightest brush in our time&#039;s infinite weave, but I shall remember him always, and -- Oh, disregard. There he is.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pernelle&#039;s dramatics cut short as he hops circles around Roger to inspect him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Well, well, well, that IS a lump. You look positively pummeled. Let us see to it, then! Anqa!&amp;quot; Pernelle&#039;s eyes are bright and clear, and he opens his jaws wide as light, like a butterfly, drifts past. He chomps his beak up it and swallows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a brief moment, above him appears a beautiful golden bird doll, stitched by rainbow seems. Her wings spread, and the curative light of a Dia spell wraps around Roger to attempt to mend his wounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Hazuki Nakao has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As Hazuki reaches Roger, she sighs a breath of relief. &amp;quot;I&#039;m glad you&#039;re okay, Roger.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pernelle is fed donuts up until they&#039;re out. Once she is, she gives him an apologetic glance, but one that also says &#039;please don&#039;t ditch me&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Roger&#039;s bumps and bruises... &amp;quot;I hope they didn&#039;t hurt you too badly...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once Pernelle heals him after dramatically declaring his death, she sighs in relief. &amp;quot;Thank you, Pernelle... so do people have different abilities...? I don&#039;t think Janus can do that.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But then Roger mentions things are getting even worse. Hazuki sighs once, before rubbing her brow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;...I need to ask you about some stuff before we can really play. I couldn&#039;t... I couldn&#039;t figure out what you meant by the thread and the eye, so the people I&#039;ve gathered to come help you and Nakata-kun can&#039;t get in here...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She seems pretty down about all of this. If it&#039;s getting worse... will they make it in time?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Roger has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;Eh? I don&#039;t play dead. Playing dead is boaring...&amp;quot; Roger mumbles in humorous aside, but through Pernelle&#039;s Persona in Anqa, Dia works its magic and visibly lightens the strangely friendly Shadow&#039;s injuries. Offensive magic obviously works against them, stands to reason that healing does too - and it works!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;Oh, thank you very much!&amp;quot; Roger positively beams, standing on one leg and being all smiles for the moment. &amp;quot;They&#039;ve been playing real rough... but I haven&#039;t given up the game yet...!&amp;quot; Even if he seems to lack any, and all, of the tools necessary to actually fight it now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 5tHazuki asks for clarification, and Roger&#039;s posture softens as he listens to his new friend, and...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;What?! Really? I didn&#039;t speak in Pig Latin or anything,&amp;quot; he starts pressing fingers together, &amp;quot;that seemed crystal clear to me! You came here by threading through the Eye of a needle for Nakata...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;And you two just did it again, so, umm... ummmmmm.... uh, well...&amp;quot; He snorts, looking downcast with drooping ears. &amp;quot;I, um...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        He trails off to confused, panicked grunting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Pernelle has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Pernelle, when he realizes there is naught but a single donut left, looks at Hazuki with increasingly enlarging eyes as if this would manifest them from the ether to fill the bottomless void of his stomach. But all it takes is the next order of business to appear, and it seems he has forgotten all about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is still here, Hazuki unditched! So, there is that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With his healing complete, he nods to Hazuki. &amp;quot;Just so. Persona rise from the depths of the self, and we are different beasts upon this world, each carrying a different dream in our heart! But we are not immutable! There is always more to discover of oneself.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pernelle dismisses his Persona and takes to idly preening. &amp;quot;Hmm. Yes. I should think it a complication that you and they have disparate rules concerning your recreational pursuits. But thankfully you look a sort that can endure a bit of rowdying about.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the mention of the thread and eye, Pernelle&#039;s head cranes to look at Hazuki. Double mascot stares. &amp;quot;As he says! Have you sewn before? There is this instrument called a needle: a long thin piece of metal with a little loop called an &#039;eye&#039; at the top. A thread goes through it -- difficult, delicate work, mind -- so that it can be woven into... well, fabric, I suppose! Or flesh. Sutures, they call it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is explaining the wrong part of this metaphor...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Hazuki Nakao has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We won&#039;t let them continue to hurt you for much longer...&amp;quot; Hazuki tells Roger as she paces around him, saddened by Pernelle&#039;s widened eyes... she wishes she had more donuts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before stopping in front when he starts panicking, trying to figure out how to explain it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hazuki&#039;s mouth droops into a gloomy frown, before Pernelle tries to explain. Hazuki&#039;s eyes show her confusion...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Woah, woah, calm down, Roger, it&#039;s okay! I just meant, I didn&#039;t understand &amp;amp;#42;your&amp;amp;#42; meaning. I just wanted a way to better, uh, explain it for the others!&amp;quot; she lies, unwilling to continue bothering Roger by saying she doesn&#039;t know at all. &amp;quot;And, uh, Pernelle... does that mean they have to do something weird to Nakata-kun...?&amp;quot; she stage whispers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She doesn&#039;t want to sew something into his skin...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Just... act like I don&#039;t know anything, Roger!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Roger has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
        A confused, even frustrated Roger crouches down as Pernelle explains the idea while he draws his fingers into the ground in nonsensical shapes like he&#039;s rooting into it (and/or playing tic-tac-toe with himself as the opponent, which would be on-brand for him). His lack of affirmation for Pernelle&#039;s expanded upon explanation can probably be taken as also in error.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;Hrrrrrrrrm,&amp;quot; he grunts, &amp;quot;I&#039;m trying, I&#039;m trying...! It&#039;s...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        He stands up again. &amp;quot;So! You thread through the Eye, of a needle,&amp;quot; he holds up one hand appropriately for each. This is the exact same explanation as before.&amp;quot; He tilts his head, inquisitively again, and...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;Oh! Maybe he&#039;s right!&amp;quot; He lights up. &amp;quot;&#039;Fabric&#039; is something you really, really like, right? Something very important to make! Um, so. If it&#039;s made out of &#039;threads,&#039; thennnn...!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        Roger&#039;s eyes light up as he hops. &amp;quot;That&#039;s it! The &#039;Thread&#039; must be something very, very important to who this Atelier belongs to! Like....&amp;quot; This is a Sanguin Humor, whom professes to be a part of this Atelier, and instinctively on some level he should have some idea. He trails off. &amp;quot;Um. Whatever Nakata must have seen as very, very important to them! It could be anything! Or... anyone?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        It feels like he&#039;s grasping at straws too, as he starts to pace about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;And then you take that thread through the Eye, which,&amp;quot; the exact words make sense to &#039;&#039;him&#039;&#039;, but how does it make sense to his friends and present and future playmates coming to help with the Homonculus? He roots around in the depths of whatever passes for a Shadow&#039;s mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;A place? You&#039;d have to take this thread to that place, somewhere that Nakata must feel is &#039;theirs,&#039; or important enough to feel like &#039;theirs,&#039; to come to a place like this, so... both times you&#039;ve been here, you must have already done that!&amp;quot; Roger surmises as he claps his hands. &amp;quot;So it has to be something like that!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;...But the needle part of the &#039;Eye,&#039; it might be even more specific... like some place they can be alone... together with others?&amp;quot; He visibly blinks, as if words exist but not so much the hows or whys they have been spooled from the threads of rhyme or reason alike.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;...Does that make sense now?&amp;quot; Beat. &amp;quot;If it does it makes more sense to you than me...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Pernelle has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Such is the dangerous power of Pernelle! Hazuki is already caught in his adorable web! But that is a problem for another time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Hm? No weirder than usual, I would assume.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
what does that even mean&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Hazuki has the wisest wisdom, which is: let&#039;s all start from zero wisdom, and add wisdom until understanding is achieved. And Roger proves to be a boar of many wisdoms to add to zero.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pernelle nods along sagaciously, as if he is actually providing any material improvement to this situation, which he isn&#039;t. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Very good, very good my most perspicacious piglet. A finer explanation I have not heard! The eye: a door. The thread: a key. The fabric: a clue to the key. Mm... pretend the last one was a little punchier. Regardless! We all understand perfectly. Do we not?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He looks up at Hazuki expectantly with an idle ruffle of his train feathers to smooth them out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Hazuki Nakao has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As Roger explains, Hazuki draws her phone and opens a notepad (she has no wifi). She starts typing into it, throwing the info he gives directly together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pernelle asks her if she understands. She considers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;So... let&#039;s say I took Nakata-kun&#039;s lucky bracelet or something, anything he had that mattered, hypothetically.&amp;quot; A pause. &amp;quot;Then, I took it to... his favorite place. Like...&amp;quot; she thinks, what had he mentioned before? What did she know?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;...there&#039;s a little nook near the arcade, a few shops down, nestled in an alleyway. He told me he likes to sit there and think sometimes...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe they were friends. But Hazuki knows she must have hurt him, right...? How else did he become a Homunculus?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;That&#039;d... hm.&amp;quot; How does that work, though? She considers, and then her brain pieces it together. She might not be book smart... but she&#039;s game smart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Oh! It&#039;s like scripting. By taking it there, a new event unlocks. Then, to get the needle in there, and into the Atelier...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where does Hazuki be &#039;alone&#039; with others?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;...when I want to be alone but talk to people, I play video games, or go on my computer, or browse my phone from my room. I don&#039;t think that&#039;d work, though... I guess there&#039;s net cafes, but I&#039;ve never been, so I don&#039;t know if they count.&amp;quot; She glances to Pernelle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You think there&#039;s anyone we can ask about that part, if Roger doesn&#039;t know?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Pernelle has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If only Pernelle knew terms like &#039;event flags&#039;, this might&#039;ve been easier to explain! But he doesn&#039;t even know about attack buffering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet here is is, nodding more and more as Hazuki summarizes things in her own way. &amp;quot;Just so, just so,&amp;quot; he says, then pauses, head tilting to one side to the next. &amp;quot;That is, I cannot confirm anything of lucky bracelets and lonely little nooks! But hypothetically.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Roger struggles with the next bit, Pernelle steps forward with a flourished fan of his wings. &amp;quot;That, my friends, is a strange secret of humanity. A an esoteric creation! One built of great dreams to be masked without a mask, all together, yet entirely isolated --&amp;quot; He pauses, blinking a few times. &amp;quot;Oh, yes. A net cafe.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pernelle is silent a moment, perhaps awkwardly, looking over one of his foot talons before looking back up at the two of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;... Just so!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He smooths his wings back against his body. So much for a dramatic build up and reveal!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Roger has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
        Together, the trio figure out a clearer way to describe - and codify - how one even gets into an Atelier at all, as he listens to Hazuki make sense of his attempts to make sense. Roger&#039;s features light up more at the greater comprehension!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;Hooray! Yes!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;I&#039;m from here - an Atelier - and not out there where you&#039;re from! So what that all is... you&#039;re better suited to know than I am!&amp;quot; Roger says, of musings of bracelets and &#039;net cafes&#039; and what have you. &amp;quot;...Now if I could just get the Coleric Humors to back off and let you come kick the Homonculus out!!&amp;quot; He snorts angrily, fists raised... and slowly deflates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;Whatever this &#039;net cafe&#039; place is... please bring your friends there as soon as you can! I&#039;d like to meet them! Play with them! Games better than what that Homonculus is trying to do!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;Because... I don&#039;t know how much longer this Atelier has,&amp;quot; Roger looks down, &amp;quot;because as soon as the Homonculus fully wins... then nobody here will be playing any more. Not even the Melanc Humors that the Homonculus turned into their teammates will be spared...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Hazuki Nakao has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Hazuki gets affirmations that she got it right... net cafe, huh?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I&#039;ll ask some people for more information. Then I&#039;ll get this info out to the world, I think. If there&#039;s a big community like Myunghon told me...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They need to be able to help. They&#039;re all in this together, right?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Thank you, Roger! I&#039;ll definitely be back soon. And thank you, Pernelle! I&#039;ll give you some cash when we part so you can get more snacks.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She&#039;s not aware he might just eat the cash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though, Roger says they need to be quick... &amp;quot;...yeah. Don&#039;t worry, Roger, I&#039;ve got a plan brewing...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She needs to talk to Nakata. But how...?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Pernelle has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Pernelle gasps in theatrical horror. &amp;quot;An end to games! This is an end to FUN!&amp;quot; He looks to Hazuki, pointing with a pinion. &amp;quot;You and yours cannot abide by the destruction of FUN ITSELF! But now you are armed with knowledge! And a baseball bat. Let it not go understated how important that last bit is.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pernelle clears his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;All this being said, I would be remiss not to remind you of Peacock Silk&#039;s services. Humors and Homonculi both leave exceptional treasures posthumously, but these are merely trinkets and knickknacks in unknowing hands! My dearest comrades can fashion something truly amazing from them. So whoever might come along, do be sure to let them know this.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He turns and begins to hop back down the way they came, but pauses at the mention of cash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Cash! The fake number! Yes quite a delicious commodity. Quite, quite...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He&#039;s definitely going to eat it...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Roger has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
        Roger looks deflated at the prospect that time may be running out. For those Humors that grasp at some greater awareness of their circumstances relative to the Atelier that houses them, what must it be like to find oneself on the cusp of the Atelier upended beyond repair, the owner&#039;s Shadow fully consumed and replaced by the abomination usurping it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;I&#039;m really counting on you, Hazuki-chan~...! I&#039;ll hold out as long as I can! I gotta!&amp;quot; ...To whatever extent he can meaningfully resist when he has been overruled and overpowered by the Homonculus-hijacked denizens of the Atelier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;Eh?! Exceptional treasures...&amp;quot; Roger snorts, and then a brief panicked squeal. &amp;quot;Ahh! I&#039;m a Humor! Don&#039;t poach me! I need my exceptional treasures!&amp;quot; Beat. &amp;quot;What are my exceptional treasures? I would surely be more fun to play with than any exceptional treasures I have...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;...But what good could come from taking anything from a Homonculus? They&#039;re bad news...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        Whether he&#039;s capable of thinking that deeply about it, he turns over to Hazuki and the vague direction of a stage-exiting Pernelle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;Still... thank you! Come back to play soon, okay? Sooner is better...!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

        &amp;amp;#42; ryouhara kurou, please report to the principal&#039;s office. ryouhara kurou, please report to the principal&#039;s office. &amp;amp;#42;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        The tinny sound and the female voice is, for those with the Kasugayama near-universal condition of &#039;not paying attention,&#039; effectively unhearable. But it&#039;s a little into fourth period just before lunch, and the sound does catch on. With ears well attuned to the sound of the PA, the social studies teacher looks up in a small amount of confusion, before giving leave to exit class.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        He thought the principal was out today... what a hard worker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        The answer will become quickly apparent upon entering the waiting room leading to the office -- there&#039;s no one there. The door has been left tantalizingly ajar, and evidence of any woman to have actually called in the page is, sadly for most in the notoriously boy-heavy school, nonexistent. Of course, the door to the office is, while shut, entirely unlocked. Therein lies the root and explanation of the issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        There probably are -several- other shinobi in the school, if he&#039;s here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        The older boy with the silver hair has not exactly been at the head of the clan for very long, a fact that Kurou will be all-too-aware, for at least one very important reason. As it follows, there have already been several very violent changes. Unlike the previous head Setsuya, a seldom-seen ghost whose word travelled very far from many mouths, the so-called prince of the Ryouhara was almost doggedly omnipresent, and could really show up anywhere, at any time, for whatever reason.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        Accordingly, it isn&#039;t a surprise to find the young man having taken over the principal&#039;s office.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;Did you know that there&#039;s also a Kasugayama Castle?&amp;quot; the white-haired nin comments, conversationally and in what is quickly proving to be a habitually distracted way. He&#039;s currently sitting in the principal&#039;s chair, pointed off somewhere to the left, the aged seat rocking just a touch off of the push of one of his heels. The ninkou sword, Bankasoujin, has been unshouldered for comfort and is currently sitting crossbody under the drape of an arm, laying across his collarbone as he rocks. His bag is sitting on the desk. Still dressed up in his Ryouhara street clothes, the young man&#039;s attire looks like it might swallow him and the chair he&#039;s sitting in. Of course, given the nature of their art, it&#039;s not outside the realm of possibility, either.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;It&#039;s, mm... up north from the compound, in Niigata. Apparently used to belong to the Nagao clan. Or so I read. Apparently, it&#039;s exactly the same name. Makes you sort of wonder about the school, right?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        Shiryuu sighs lightly. This place is already rubbing him the wrong way. &amp;quot;...anyway. I know, I guess you&#039;re just starting out the semester, right? But how&#039;s the grades?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Kurou Ryouhara has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
As perhaps one of a small handful of students actually diligently taking notes, Kurou looks up to stare at the intercom, then to his teacher. There is only a silent nod so as not to interrupt class, regardless of how well his fellow students may already not be listening. It&#039;s all very nearly one motion: pencil rolled into cast, note journal shut, Kurou up and all studious objects taken with him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The oddities are just the right flavor to have Kurou approach the situation with silent caution. He is soundless as he enters the waiting room, but as he presses the door open slowly as a ghost&#039;s haunting, his eyes give a flicker of awareness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He bows as one should to a principal, but does not speak before Shiryuu does. Nor does he take initiative to sit. But that isn&#039;t too strange for Kurou, who has a tendency to exist in as much stillness as possible -- until, that is, direct action is called for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kasugayama Castle... &amp;quot;Would you like me to investigate?&amp;quot; Kurou asks, speaking, as ever, in polite honorifics. He may well check it out himself regardless, but there&#039;s a nuance in how much Shiryuu might want to hear about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kurou reaches into his school bag and produces one of his latest scores for math. A solid 76, which might be more impressive for someone who missed a good chunk of his public education opportunity. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He looks to his own paper a moment, then takes a sticker sheet from his bag, applies a happy looking ice cream cone, and turns it back around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;... The teachers do not supply them here.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They wouldn&#039;t. It&#039;s &#039;&#039;high school&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Shiryuu Ryouhara has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
        He rocks a little more, suppressing a cold thread of annoyance bordering on an anxious urge to knock the entire school over and put it back together. The white crow is less discomfit with the show of deference or anything else from the younger kouhai than the fact the chair is audibly creaking every time he moves. It&#039;s a small, tiny sound, borne of a chair spent overlong without replacement, kept in good maintenance but simply too old. Takeshi would probably have something smart to say about that notion. Even so, the muted sound is grating, no matter how hard he tries to stay calm about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        It just makes him want to rearrange everything in the office. No big deal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;Well.&amp;quot; The temptation and curiosity almost has the young man send Kurou on a wild goose chase then and there. But luckily Shiryuu is not a cat, and cooler heads prevail. &amp;quot;No, it&#039;s fine. Haven&#039;t heard about any demons coming from there. Too far out from any of the known spots. Weird, is all. Thought you might like to have something to chat up the toughs about.&amp;quot; Instead, the nineteen year old soothes himself with the ideal, leaning back and trying not to engage the chair&#039;s hinges too hard, absently running fingertips along the black textured hilt of his sword. It almost looks like he&#039;s tuning a shamisen with the motion. It stops when the boy reaches into his school bag, a little pensive off-eyed glance turning to the rest as he sets the paper down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        Shiryuu is pleased by the ice cream sticker. He can&#039;t explain why.&lt;br /&gt;
        He is less pleased to hear that it&#039;s not standard in Kasugayama High.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;No? What kind of no-rent school did we send you to...?&amp;quot; Shiryuu wonders openly, turning away as if in abject disapproval of the very idea. He wouldn&#039;t actually know one way or another -- Shiryuu was privately tutored in Akita for the entirety of his life, and his only frame of reference in the day to day is their intelligence reports and Takeshi&#039;s anecdotes about the old days. But it definitely is reason enough to send him into a mildly contrary rocking spree with regards to a school he already dislikes. It does not help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;Ugh. Anyway. As expected of one of ours,&amp;quot; Shiryuu muses, finally finding cause to look back slyly at the page. &amp;quot;It&#039;s not quite Bakudan Corps level,&amp;quot; he surmises, &amp;quot;but you&#039;d make it out with most of your fingers intact. Work on it. Get in a fight yet?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        The subject change is swift, a pretense for the boy to lean over, bracing his sword on the desk as he sets it down by the saya, keeping the obi wrapped around his wrist. He fiddles with his bag on the desk for a few minutes, unfolding a pocket and going through it. The crinkle of a plastic bag sounds, and by the time he&#039;s done, the onmitsu contractor rewards the grade with a few patters of pre-wrapped candy across the desk, a little handful of colorful dried jellies, one of which Shiryuu is drowning out the sounds of his chair in unwrapping. Misuzuame. It&#039;s a Nagano local favorite.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;Know why I&#039;m here?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Kurou Ryouhara has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Kurou isn&#039;t unaware of the creaking, but if he has any irritation with the repetition, it does not show. Very little shows on his face, granted, but in this case his personal math is determining how much this might effect the chair&#039;s stability and reliability if, in some future incident, he had to swing it over someone&#039;s head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s not the kind of math that helps him on tests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the well, Kurou&#039;s miraculously manages to scrounge up a few more centimeters of height as he straightens beyond his already rigid posture. He is not a dog, but there&#039;s something here like expecting a tennis ball to be thrown. In the end, it isn&#039;t.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Thank you. I do require conversational topics.&amp;quot; Yeah, that&#039;s probably not hard to imagine. His overly polite way of speaking isn&#039;t doing him any favors in the standard Kasu social circles. Maybe the unnerving way he does not blink enough and doesn&#039;t know where eye contact should go -- or stop -- isn&#039;t helping, either.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It an issue of my incomplete academic record. This establishment is one of the few that does not reliably vet submissions.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He says this completely neutrally, and like that&#039;s not another reason this place is a disaster. Creak creak creak goes the chair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kurou looks over his fingers, wriggling them, considering which ones might be easier or more difficult to lose. He looks back to Shiryuu with a single, determined nod. &amp;quot;Yes.&amp;quot; He looks to the sticker sheet again, pointing to a smiling mochi. &amp;quot;... I will earn this one.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, at least he has a system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But there is further reward awaiting. Kurou&#039;s pupils dilate. He picks up one of the candies delicately between his fingers. His face does not change, but the way he turns it in his grasp suggests veneration in his inspection, as does his reluctance to look away from it when Shiryuu asks him a question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Not with any certainty, but I suspected you might have a task for me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Shiryuu Ryouhara has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
        Were it Setsuya, the gesture would have been rooted in some sort of psychosubliminal garbage based off of obedience theory or something similarly asinine, but Shiryuu is hardly in the mood for Pavlov or all that goings-on. He just really wants to have some candy and isn&#039;t, fundamentally, a cruel person.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        Even if cruelty is sometimes required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        There are plenty of very audible thoughts not put to tongue as the boy nods, as Shiryuu closes his pack back up, as he stares for a breath or two across the table. Though it would be a mistake and a foolishness to describe the young contractor as &#039;anxious,&#039; there is a curled, unrealized energy in him in the quiet, and the torential sense of a rhythm about him. In that sense, a beatis plainly missed as the silver-haired boy rests his knuckles loosely on the desk in an open gesture, rolling the idea of Kurou earning further rewards. The fact that they&#039;re still talking about stickers is a detail almost entirely lost in the subtext.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        Every so often, it is clear that Shiryuu hasn&#039;t entirely made up his mind on several, very sharp subjects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        Decision comes -fast- with him though. &amp;quot;Good!&amp;quot; the prince snaps, suddenly jolting into motion as he leans back in the chair to unwrap his candy, the saya secured tov his wrist tugged after to rest on the crook between his thigh and the chair. Kurou&#039;s gotten into a few tussles? &amp;quot;It&#039;s one of the few things this school is good at. Keep up your taijutsu. Maybe you&#039;ll find one of those kids from the occult clubs by accident. Don&#039;t kill anyone. We don&#039;t want to have to forge papers for you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        Whether or not he means to imply that Kurou should earn the mochi by fighting school toughniks, or where he should stick such a sticker, is another matter entirely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        A moment turns and Kurou&#039;s guess is confirmed nonverbally, as the boy nods slowly. For one blissful moment, he can not pay attention to the chair as he pops the jelly into his mouth, working it to chewiness with his back molars like a particularly bossy gum. Sweet flavor follows. &amp;quot;Mm. Well, right in one. There&#039;s a few people we need tracked, first. And there is a mission all of our shinobi are currently on that you&#039;re going to help with.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Kurou Ryouhara has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
They say still waters run deep -- whoever they are -- and Kurou has his own reasons for his loyalty. There was much to be found wanting in the methods of the past. Candy being candy is not in any way foundational, but we would be remiss not to acknowledge it plays its own part.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kurou watches Shiryuu in those passing breaths. He is, himself, comfortable with long stretches of silence, a quality he has yet to learn can also be considered off putting. But there is a pleasantness in decisiveness as well, and when Shiryuu moves, it&#039;s like Kurou remembers time itself exists. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He grabs the twists of the plastic on both ends, palms pressed together at the pinky, and pulls, easily freeing the prize. In a blink, it&#039;s already gone as if swiping treats were so well practiced that their abrupt vanishing had become unconscious habit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mouth (not so secretly) occupied despite his stillness, Kurou nods along with Shiryuu&#039;s instruction. It&#039;ll be a lot easier if a fight here and there. Easier still to think of it as doubling for reconnaissance. But don&#039;t kill anyone. Kurou&#039;s eyes side glance a moment before he nods again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This means he probably won&#039;t get the mochi if he kills anyone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But his guess is correct, and moreover, it didn&#039;t turn out to be one of those questions he wasn&#039;t supposed to try answering. Those are the trickiest kind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Understood,&amp;quot; Kurou says, once his teeth are clean of the evidence. He waits for Shiryuu to elaborate with no shortage of patience.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Shiryuu Ryouhara has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
        Needless to say, Shiryuu isn&#039;t the type to hold a grudge at least. At least, that&#039;s what the presumption, as the onmitsu seems to relax just a touch, allowing himself to be idly soothed. Imagine that the one truth shared between Nagano and Akita sects could be &#039;an appreciation for the candies of home.&#039; Loyalties are a good start, and Kurou has passed enough of his share to be avoid the sword. After all, no matter what, the younger Ryouhara is -too- young to be considered for the sins of others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        The sins that cause the onmitsu to, every so often, touch the neckband collar cinched around his neck.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        A swallow. Shiryuu is not as concerned with evidence as the keen Ryouhara hound across from him -- but the effect is the same, an instinctive urge to avoid leaving traces. Call it an aversion to sloppy work. That same instinct leads the crumple of cellophane to be muffled in a fist, secreted away in some inner fold of his haori, never to be heard from again. The extras -- two, three, perhaps, if you count the one that landed behind the stapler -- on the desk were obviously left for Kurou to do with as he sees fit, but the onmitsu doesn&#039;t call any further attention to them, his mind trained on other moments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        The sword is lifted on the end of his wrist, until the boy can rest his fingertips on the kashira, the endcap&#039;s fittings idly thumbed beneath thoughtful fingertips.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;Her name is Yoko. I&#039;m told you&#039;ve had contact.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        In this case, there is no accusation of anything in the onmitsu&#039;s voice, those subtle social cues hardly present in his voice on a good day, let alone now. &amp;quot;My source tells me she&#039;s important to our bloodline ... and may be pivotal in getting us around the occult blockades keeping us from our goals in this region.&amp;quot; The old man was -never- anything less than completely opaque and cryptic in what he&#039;s said, and it means Shiryuu has to be slightly less than clear, himself. It&#039;s annoying. But useful. &amp;quot;I need you to keep an eye on her. Test her. Feel her out. Find out what her deal is. More members of the police are aware of the dark powers underneath the underneath now, and that means we&#039;re going to need to be more audacious in our moves.&amp;quot; By now, the shinobi is thumbing his hair aside, to scratch a spot just over his eyebrow with his thumb. It gives &#039;annoyed&#039; vibes, but that doesn&#039;t translate to his words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;She&#039;s going to end up as a tool used by them if we don&#039;t figure it out and exfiltrate. There&#039;s a lot of people loitering around the edges that could be a problem in the future if the police get their hooks in. There&#039;s a konbini worker, too. She&#039;s a hot mess, but she&#039;s supposed to be getting information for me. If she looks to be getting too friendly with that no-account Suou, I need to know about that too. She might need to be gently reminded, but not him. I&#039;m going to kick him in his f--&amp;quot; Shiryuu catches himself. He&#039;s in a school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;--...funny looking face if he gets in our way.&amp;quot; He didn&#039;t even explain who Suou is, or which Suou, honestly. He just definitely doesn&#039;t like him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        The thumb scratch translates into a handful of his hair taken up, and smoothed all the way back behind his head. &amp;quot;Ugh. Anyway. Watch those two. I&#039;m going to leave the details up to Kiria in the field, if you need to put someone in the hurt locker. There&#039;s another person, as well, but you&#039;re not going to know them at a glance.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Kurou Ryouhara has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
That lack of grudge is another important piece of loyalty. Well, one presumes the dead cannot be loyal, which would be most of the logic. But even so, it is not a chance taken for granted. There is little that could be asked of him that would protest -- there has not been enough &#039;&#039;proving&#039;&#039; for that, in his own eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
... And sometimes the idea of proving does not even factor, because they are all simply the ingrained defaults of the unique pressure that produced a shinobi like Kurou. The plastic doesn&#039;t even crinkle when he plucks it from behind the stapler, nor does the stapler displace a single fraction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Yoko,&amp;quot; Kurou repeats, letting himself feel the name in his mouth in case that may stir a memory. In a rare motion, he taps his painted finger to his lip. He does not recall: there was no introduction of names, but a name now will be all he needs to piece together the information he needs to recognize her at glance. Kurou&#039;s gaze relaxes back on Shiryuu to see that unspoken annoyance starting to form. A silent note is made to ask his mother to keep an ear out, if this is a problem that&#039;s going to start forming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But recognition finally lights in his eyes at the description of a hot mess konbini worker, which frankly, Kurou, is kind of rude. And it should be plainly obvious which Suou she needs to be reminded not to be friendly with: the one with the funny looking face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(This is also rude.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Understood,&amp;quot; he says again. &amp;quot;I will keep an eye on them both, and I will leave Suou to you.&amp;quot; Yoko, especially, seems to warrant a great deal of attention. Such a bloodline and destiny... She must be a very dangerous person.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the mention of Kiria, Kurou absently touches one of the blue streaks in his hair. Neon... He nods again. Kiria and Kurou share certain fashion sensibilities, but their demeanors could not be more different.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Another?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Shiryuu Ryouhara has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
        It&#039;s kind of weird, being understood implicitly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        It&#039;s sort of one of the reasons why a few of the Nagano Ryouhara -- at least, the ones loyal to the previous mizugarasu -- avoided the purge. Tenzen, it could be argued, was always on his own side. But the likes of Zakuro, and even Kurou&#039;s own mother understood things on the kind of raw, basic level that Setsuya&#039;s ideological converts never really could. The rhythm of things has changed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        At any rate, the rapport both ill-fits and pleases Shiryuu at once, if that sort of thing could be understood. But the onmitsu is notoriously finicky about these sorts of things, and any gild of being uncomfortable with the crown can be safely ignored as lingering remnants of stupid cops with even stupider Persona. The sword is lifted between fingertips, the end of the saya rapped twice against the ground as a gesture to close the door on the subject. &amp;quot;Perfect,&amp;quot; he decides, and that&#039;s that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        The bag slowly slides off of the desk, with only the slow sound of leather on wood to accompany it, and not a single clink or shift to betray what&#039;s inside. He doesn&#039;t seem as well trained or committed as his younger kouhai, here, ever the soldier. As a creature of sound, Shiryuu has a different approach to stealth -- to leave no sound and no trace works where the enemy will never suspect you. But a hole in the sky is jarring to a man, and in some cases it is better to be a bird. The onmitsu is already packing up, three steps ahead, as he loosens the sword&#039;s obi just enough to slide the entire saya and sword into a velvet bag, then tying the obi to his shoulder bag, and pulls the whole affair over a shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;It&#039;s important we play out our hand with our allies for the time being. But the key to seizing control of all of what is ours is to crack the legacy of the mizugarasu. In that vein, we are looking for the source of the kotodama that gave us the leash to Shinigami itself. A secret that is not recorded even in the Renkouki, a secret that died with the traitor, Setsuya Ryouhara. The original source of that kotodama is one of the people outside of our clan who knows our secrets. That person ... must die.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &#039;hup.&#039; The gravity of what he says dilutes when the young man lifts himself up out of the chair, shouldering the bag and bundle at his back just so. It&#039;s part of his ninjutsu style -- a lightning fast sword draw from the shoulder, with no space given to breathe, and even less when his &#039;eye&#039; is active. But it&#039;s not now, and the shirogarasu gets his load balanced just right before glancing over at Kurou.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;....yeah..&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;Another. A rumormonger, well dressed, tends to hang out around the Cardboard Dragon. But I don&#039;t know how low they end up trawling around here. At any rate... they&#039;re working on &#039;who&#039; for us. In the meantime, every able blade at our charge will find all of the people responsible for hoarding information in Sumaru, and make each one of them talk. We&#039;ll find out who spread the original rumor, follow it back to its source. Then....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        The shinobi&#039;s hand lowers to his hip, the sleeve of his haori dropping over it.&lt;br /&gt;
        &amp;quot;...we unwind the legacy that ties our hands, and take hold of the future. That&#039;s all for now.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;Pose Tracker&amp;gt; Kurou Ryouhara has posed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;poem&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Perfect. There is nothing more to say. Kurou has his tasks, and he will see them done to the utmost. His eyes idly follow along with Shiryuu&#039;s sword because it&#039;s the thing that&#039;s moving. But this meeting appears to be soon over, and Kurou mentally prepares himself for a return to class. Or maybe it&#039;s lunch by now. He is never fully relaxed, but nor could he be described as &#039;&#039;tense&#039;&#039;. In some ways, this is his element: receiving missions he can then follow through on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until --&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The original source of that kotodama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kurou&#039;s amber eyes burn. There is a twitch of a muscle at his brow that threatens to bring some change to his face. Words are like sound through water. Cardboard Dragon. Rumormonger. These are all concepts that will swim back to Kurou&#039;s mind much later, after the fire has cooled. With a long, slow breath out, he forcibly relaxes his fingers from his fist, leaving crescent grooves in his flesh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;... For now,&amp;quot; he repeats, trying to remember where he is and who he is with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There&#039;s candy. There&#039;s mochi stickers. But both of those pale in comparison to what awaits at the end of this mission&#039;s success.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Thank you. I will see these assignments done.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/poem&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Glorious! Magnificent! Truly resplendent! I am engulfed by anguished longing to behold such a captivating presence...! Oh, pray, give me a name! An epithet that I can engrave into my heart as long as it beats! A... &#039;tater tot&#039;? Exquisite.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

To most of the world, Pernelle is the pet and living mascot of Peacock Silk boutique. As an exceptionally well behaved peacock, Pernelle is beloved by all, yes, yes? But those who have awakened to Persona can hear this bird speak, revealing an excitable, theatrical avian with a bombastic demeanor. Within supernatural spaces, Pernelle is a creature with more anthropomorphic -- if cartoonish -- features, though still very much a peacock in shape with an ostentatious heart and soul. His true loyalties ultimately lie with Peacock Silk&#039;s owner, Tsumugi, above all else, but he is otherwise a lover of freedom and an incorrigible cheerleader of selfish impulses. Pernelle is more than happy to play anyone&#039;s shoulder devil, and always has an encouraging word to give... even for his enemies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Oh, come now, let&#039;s not get caught up in insignificant details like &#039;what is Pernelle, really&#039; and &#039;where the hell did this talking bird come from&#039;. All you need to know is that you have stumbled upon the great fortune of Pernelle&#039;s adorable company!&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Anqa:&#039;&#039;&#039; Anqa is a beautiful, doll-like bird sewn together from golden silk, with conspicuous iridescent stitching and gemstones for eyes. Her face resembles falcon&#039;s upon the long neck of a heron, and she is in possession of a long train of feathers made of sashes that smear into a brilliant sunset gradient. The plumage on her head, resembling a peafowl&#039;s crest, is a row of sewing pins. Occasionally, the stitched seams of the bird separate, and something dark and amorphous threatens to reveal itself before it sews itself back up. (A mythical bird said to only appear once an age, and can only be found at a place  of the setting sun. Though she was originally made of all perfections and a bringer of good fortune and wisdom, it is said that she eventually became a plague that brought calamity, and had to be slain.)&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Oh. Is that so?&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though Kurou may tend toward an alternative style more suited to nightclubs and raves -- with such disregard for convention not atypical of a Kasugayama High School student -- it is contrasted by a calm and docile disposition. Apparently lacking experience to inform his behavior, he often defers to even his most delinquent peers on how to navigate social situations, and accepts their word far too easily. What Kurou ultimately wants out of life is to find what he wants out of life. Yet, he seems far too self assured for someone who claims to be entirely aimless, and proves relentless in even simple assignments and routine chores. Whatever unspoken purpose drives him, it isn&#039;t enough to satisfy the hunger that lurks under his composed exterior. In his life&#039;s hunt, Kurou makes it a point to find wonder in all parts of life, from the mundane to the darkest sides of Sumaru.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Gashadokuro:&#039;&#039;&#039; Humans that died in battle or of starvation, never given proper funeral rights, are said to sometimes merge together to form a single, skeletal monstrosity. Despite the titan size of Gashadokuro, it is silent in its approach, and may even possess the ability to turn invisible. Being made of bones and corpses of the already deceased, a Gashadokuro cannot be killed. It roams after midnight, hunting the living until the fury and hunger that animates it burns out.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Though Kurou may tend toward an alternative style more suited to nightclubs and raves -- with such disregard for convention not atypical of a Kasugayama High School student -- it is contrasted by a calm and docile disposition. Apparently lacking experience to inform his behavior, he often defers to even his most delinquent peers on how to navigate social situations, and accepts their word far too easily. What Kurou ultimately wants out of life is to find what he wants out of life. Yet, he seems far too self assured for someone who claims to be entirely aimless, and proves relentless in even simple assignments and routine chores. Whatever unspoken purpose drives him, it isn&#039;t enough to satisfy the hunger that lurks under his composed exterior. In his life&#039;s hunt, Kurou makes it a point to find wonder in all parts of life, from the mundane to the darkest sides of Sumaru.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Oh. Is that so?&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though Kurou may tend toward an alternative style more suited to nightclubs and raves -- with such disregard for convention not atypical of a Kasugayama High School student -- it is contrasted by a calm and docile disposition. Apparently lacking experience to inform his behavior, he often defers to even his most delinquent peers on how to navigate social situations, and accepts their word far too easily. What Kurou ultimately wants out of life is to find what he wants out of life. Yet, he seems far too self assured for someone who claims to be entirely aimless, and proves relentless in even simple assignments and routine chores. Whatever unspoken purpose drives him, it isn&#039;t enough to satisfy the hunger that lurks under his composed exterior. In his life&#039;s hunt, Kurou makes it a point to find wonder in all parts of life, from the mundane to the darkest sides of Sumaru.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Gashadokuro:&#039;&#039;&#039; Humans that died in battle or of starvation, never given proper funeral rights, are said to sometimes merge together to form a single, skeletal monstrosity. Despite the titan size of Gashadokuro, it is silent in its approach, and may even possess the ability to turn invisible. Being made of bones and corpses of the already deceased, a Gashadokuro cannot be killed. It roams after midnight, hunting the living until the fury and hunger that animates it burns out.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Glorious! Magnificent! Truly resplendent! I am engulfed by anguished longing to behold such a captivating presence...! Oh, pray, give me a name!

To most of the world, Pernelle is the pet and living mascot of Peacock Silk boutique. As an exceptionally well behaved peacock, Pernelle is beloved by all, yes, yes? But those who have awakened to Persona can hear this bird speak, revealing an excitable, theatrical avian with a bombastic demeanor. Within supernatural spaces, Pernelle is a creature with more anthropomorphic -- if cartoonish -- features, though still very much a peacock in shape with an ostentatious heart and soul. His true loyalties ultimately lie with Peacock Silk&#039;s owner, Tsumugi, above all else, but he is otherwise a lover of freedom and an incorrigible cheerleader of selfish impulses. Pernelle is more than happy to play anyone&#039;s shoulder devil, and always has an encouraging word to give... even for his enemies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Oh, come now, let&#039;s not get caught up in insignificant details like &#039;what is Pernelle, really&#039; and &#039;where the hell did this talking bird come from&#039;. All you need to know is that you have stumbled upon the great fortune of Pernelle&#039;s adorable company!&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Anqa:&#039;&#039;&#039; Anqa is a beautiful, doll-like bird sewn together from golden silk, with conspicuous iridescent stitching and gemstones for eyes. Her face resembles falcon&#039;s upon the long neck of a heron, and she is in possession of a long train of feathers made of sashes that smear into a brilliant sunset gradient. The plumage on her head, resembling a peafowl&#039;s crest, is a row of sewing pins. Occasionally, the stitched seams of the bird separate, and something dark and amorphous threatens to reveal itself before it sews itself back up. (A mythical bird said to only appear once an age, and can only be found at a place  of the setting sun. Though she was originally made of all perfections and a bringer of good fortune and wisdom, it is said that she eventually became a plague that brought calamity, and had to be slain.)&lt;br /&gt;

To most of the world, Pernelle is the pet and living mascot of Peacock Silk boutique. As an exceptionally well behaved peacock, Pernelle is beloved by all, yes, yes? But those who have awakened to Persona can hear this bird speak, revealing an excitable, theatrical avian with a bombastic demeanor. Within supernatural spaces, Pernelle is a creature with more anthropomorphic -- if cartoonish -- features, though still very much a peacock in shape with an ostentatious heart and soul. His true loyalties ultimately lie with Peacock Silk&#039;s owner, Tsumugi, above all else, but he is otherwise a lover of freedom and an incorrigible cheerleader of selfish impulses. Pernelle is more than happy to play anyone&#039;s shoulder devil, and always has an encouraging word to give... even for his enemies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Oh, come now, let&#039;s not get caught up in insignificant details like &#039;what is Pernelle, really&#039; and &#039;where the hell did this talking bird come from&#039;. All you need to know is that you have stumbled upon the great fortune of Pernelle&#039;s adorable company!&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Anqa:&#039;&#039;&#039; Anqa is a beautiful, doll-like bird sewn together from golden silk, with conspicuous iridescent stitching and gemstones for eyes. Her face resembles falcon&#039;s upon the long neck of a heron, and she is in possession of a long train of feathers made of sashes that smear into a brilliant sunset gradient. The plumage on her head, resembling a peafowl&#039;s crest, is a row of sewing pins. Occasionally, the stitched seams of the bird separate, and something dark and amorphous threatens to reveal itself before it sews itself back up. (A mythical bird said to only appear once an age, and can only be found at a place  of the setting sun. Though she was originally made of all perfections and a bringer of good fortune and wisdom, it is said that she eventually became a plague that brought calamity, and had to be slain.)&lt;br /&gt;
