(Note: Terry gave Kido his phone. Bought his own flipphone on 8/26!)

He has a stall set up in the market street for locating things. Feel free to thread it out with an inbox action thread or handwave it!

[ Hm. ]

... You and the Attendants are the only ones who call me that too.

[ Do you want to be lumped in with them. ]

[reveilation]

[ That's a low blow... But no, she doesn't want to be lumped in with them. ]

You can get them to stop. Souji was calling me Tsubomi until I told him to quit it.

[ She was probably holding a broken glass bottle in her hand at the moment, though. And Minato still calls her that. ]

[overstrain]

I bet that was when you held a broken bottle within range.

[ Souji told him about that... he had dokis, but that's not important. ]

[reveilation]

...Yeah. But he's some super powerful Persona user, right? That shouldn't have intimidated him.

[ Broken bottles still hurt, though... Kido likes to think of that entire encounter as self-defense. ]

[overstrain]

... It does if he doesn't like pain.

[ Terry isn't some super powerful Persona user, but he gets it.......... ]

[reveilation]

If he were so strong, he wouldn't have let it hit in the first place. ...How come you always let me hit you, before?

[ The Shadow had said that. Terry mentioned it once, too, that it had been a while, at the time, since she punched him. She yells a lot more, though, maybe to compensate. ]

[overstrain]

[ ...

Okay, that has Terry thinking. Why did he do that again... ]

... I think it was because I used to be paranoid and letting you hit me was a way to show that I let my guard down around you? Or something... it's been so long, so I could be wrong.

[reveilation]

You were paranoid, so you let your guard down. That's the opposite of paranoid, Terr— ...Terry.

[ IT FEELS WEIRD. But fuck it, I'm going to take the out. ]

[overstrain]

[ I'm glad you succumbed to this... I hope Kido doesn't go zombie so she can keep calling him Terry. Terry smiles when hearing her call him that too. It's a win-win. ]

That was me trying to get over my paranoia.

[reveilation]

[ Haha, I sure hope she doesn't go zombie either. We'll see. ]

By letting me hit you... [ She doesn't get it. It doesn't make sense in the first place, so she lets it go. ]

Did it work?

[overstrain]

... I guess so? I don't remember feeling as paranoid as I did before.

[ Yeah... that's all he can think of. ]

I'll take that as a good thing.

[reveilation]

Weirdo...

[ As long as it's a good thing, though, she supposes it's fine. It's whatever. ]

Try not to give me reasons to punch you in the future, then, okay? I'm going to head back inside.

[overstrain]

I don't think I've gotten punched from you in a while... so I'll try.

[ Terry goes to open the door for Kido, because he wants to go inside too. ]

[reveilation]

That's because you keep catching my fist.

[ The reasons are still there. She definitely remembers being angry enough to actually throw a punch. That was how they reunited. It wasn't even that far back, and thinking about it now is tiring.

Time to go home... ]
