[Akira shrugs. Arisato? Never heard of the guy, but he must be pretty cool if he's got multiple Personas at his disposal. So much for being special and unique, huh?
...Though, it does make him wonder what beef Shinjiro has with his Persona. It sounds like he doesn't miss it, but why? Personas are a lot more convenient than the magic here, but on the flipside, Akira could argue he's biased on account of all the power he has at his disposal when his Personas are present. Those with only one might feel differently, but... that still doesn't quite explain it.
Welp, he knows how Shinjiro is liable to react if he pries, so Akira focuses on the topic at hand. One of those questions is easy to ask, while the other—]
2016. The Dark Hour sounds like some small-time emo band, so I'm guessing that's not what it is. Care to explain?
[ It probably sounds odd, even if he doesn't know the other boy's circumstances. Most people with personas, he's come to find, don't despise theirs like he does. But most of them also probably have better control over it, or haven't come to associate the thing with dread.
Well. He doesn't need to tell Akira everything. It's not important, anyway.
However.
'2016' has his face scrunching a bit, brows knitting as he digests. That's...7 years in the future, huh. He'd have been...25? Had things gone differently, that is.
Fortunately, he can't dwell on that much when 'small-time emo band' dips him back into bewilderment, features blanking out for a second as he gives Akira an incredulous look. You know what? Let's not even address that. Moving on. ]
...Right. When I left, it was 2009. [ Hm. How to tread this. ] It's an extra hour in the day, right at midnight. Normal people can't see it, only those with personas can. With how damn gloomy and creepy it is, no way in hell you could miss it.
[ But if it doesn't ring any bells for the younger boy, then...there's always a chance he just doesn't know the name, but maybe there's a small hope in his chest. ]
I'm gonna guess you haven't experienced that, though.
