Mission: make friends

[lilcomputer]

She was fairly certain this was the address that she was given for the house that had most of the kids her age. Now that she was standing in front of it, it seemed daunting and she debated turning around. Phoenix seemed to be on board with her getting friends, and Igor-san had said that was the point of this place, friends and all.

She played with her sleeve, staring at the door, she just had to knock. That's all she had to do, she could do this. It wasn't as scary as the mementos. There wasn't anything chasing her. It was just her, and other people her age. She met Ken fine. Cause he was upset looking.

She raised her hand to knock on the door, honestly she didn't think anyone could hear the knock. If no one answered the door then she'd just go home and tell Phoenix that no one was home. It might be true she didn't know.

"I ended up in mementos, Phoenix had to save me." She rubbed her hand nervously. "I need to be able to protect myself, and mom, and him." So in other words, she needed to figure out how to get a persona and level herself up quickly to catch up to Phoenix's level.

"You were in Mementos." Yes, Raven. That's what she said. But... hm. Her drive is certainly commendable. It's understandable that she'd want that kind of power.

"Well, there are ways to awaken a Persona, but several of them are far from pleasant."

"I don't care, I need to awaken one. I need to protect them." She was just a few years younger and it seemed he already awakened one. She had to, that wasn't up for debate.

Damn it. There's no way out of this, is there?

Raven takes a deep breath, then sighs. "If you're serious about this, then your best bet would be to find the Moel Gas Station attendant on a rainy day. If you can convince him to shake your hand, you may be able to awaken without the dangers of other methods."

"And if I can't get him to agree? What's the alternative? You say may that means there's a chance that fails too." She looked determined, but also a little scared. She knew what she wanted even if there were big risks.

"Sagiri-san is a bit unpredictable. You may have to be persistent..." But the other methods... Damn it. Might as well warn her. "The other methods involve facing your repressed emotions in the form of a Shadow and accepting them unflinchingly or finding a spark of rebellion within the Metaverse. As I understand it, the latter can be rather... intense."
