        It gets confusing quick, keeping track of all the Personas.  He’s got the most, because he has less Arcana he just can’t equip and because he’s got a bigger pool he can carry around in his psyche at one time, for whatever reason.  Still, useful as it is, he doesn’t want to waste too much time in the Velvet Room, staring at the weird magic-real world equivalent to menu screen.
        It’s on him to pay attention to all this analysis stuff—powers, weaknesses, and the like.  Sure, Teddie can help, and he puffs up, being able to confirm and help his Sensei get ready for a dungeon, but still…there’s a lot going on, memorizing isn’t his strong suit, and he needs a system.
        So he builds a ‘playlist’.  He associates every Shadow, every Persona, with a song, and pretty soon he doesn’t need to even glance at the Compendium or what his party members currently have equipped to know what’s there.  He just…knows.
        It has an effect on how he switches Personas, too—Chie does a fancy twirl to switch between hers, and he’d started with swapping between cards, but that hadn’t felt right.  Hadn’t felt like him.  Now he scrolls like he’d scroll through a playlist on his mp3 player, and that feels right.
