[ Yusuke settled back on the chair, not letting go of the facade of his mask and outfit just yet, in case Mitsuru had questions of her own. There was at least some relief in having the secrecy at an end, and being on the same page. He knew at some point he would have had to reveal this detail anyway, should trouble arise in the city and she need help… But this was better. ]
There are a few other persona users that I know who have personas that aren’t based on historical figures as well, so that much is similar? [ He responded, thinking of Persona like Arsene. That his was a historic figure had struck him as odd as well, but he also supposed so little was known about Goemon and that the man’s life was kept alive through story and expanded over time after the man’s execution. Most popular in bunraku and kabuki plays.
Yusuke winced a little at the question, looking a bit sheepish as he realized that had been another lie that should be cleared up. It wouldn’t really hold water now, even if he might not want to say too much about the group. He almost wondered if she had heard of the Phantom Thieves of hearts or not. ] Yes, that would be correct. Do forgive me for not being more honest about all of this and them… It just seemed rather cruel to potentially turn the world you knew on its head with such knowledge.
[ Her next question gets a more curious tilt of his head, leaving forward in his seat with a glance at the gun she’d put down. ] An evoker…? I presume you mean that gun you used to summon your persona? I confess, that was rather alarming to behold. I haven’t ever seen a persona summoned in such a way before. We all have our masks, once torn from our faces, our persona manifests, no ‘evoker’ needed.
[ He fell silent for a moment, contemplating how to explain his own awakening. ]
I ended up in the metaverse when a member of the group I later joined activated the app on their phone while I was with them. I was finally forced to… confront certain truths I had been turning a blind eye to and denying about the man who raised me. Goemon spoke to me when I had found myself at my most frustrated and disgusted by the display, proposed the forging of a contract and the mask appeared as a symbol of my rebellion. Ripping it from my face formalized the contract and… [ He gestured to his face. ] That was that, as they say. From what I have seen of those who joined the group after me, and heard of those before me, they all experienced similar awakenings.
Considering your evoker and your question, I presume that your own awakening differed greatly?
[ It had to, given he’d just witnessed her shooting herself in the head. Even if the evoker wasn’t a normal gun, that was… Really quite a lot to process. Her awakening must have been quite a heavy event indeed, for her persona to need to be summoned in such a way. ]
