He’s contemplating whether or not he wants to beg Shirogane or just sit here until he rots (because the guy’s rich, he could probably buy Yosuke a place outright, but he’s also already stuck out his neck far enough for Yosuke’s sorry ass) when an umbrella moves over him, and he’s feeling sucky enough the second he sees Amagi (like great, like he wants everybody in his past to see how pathetic he is, why don’t they just find Seta to really rub all this in) he decides that, y’know, maybe he needs to find a better slice of concrete to chill on. “I don’t need charity.”
He’d always suspected she had yakuza ties, but there’s only one person that keeps meddling like it’s any business of his what happens to Yosuke, and he really needs to tell Kirijo-san to piss off. He contemplates marching into the Kirijo Family office and doing it to his face for all of two seconds before he decides that nah, he’s not quite that done with life. Not yet.
As expected from the cool ice queen she’d been in high school, Yukiko doesn’t even flinch. “I wouldn’t turn your nose up at it, Yosuke-kun. You need it, and I just happen to need someone to move in, even if I suspect you’ll be paying slightly less rent. It’s still an improvement on no income, and it’s how I’ve gotten so far in my interior design and architecture career.”
She sounds lofty, above it all like she’d been back in school, but there’s something else there. Maybe Shirogane-kun’s rubbing off on him—no not like that brain, thanks. He eyes her carefully.
Combined with the all-but-stated confirmed connection with Kirijo, at this point… “Your...jobs have been mostly yakuza, huh.”
“I get to include secret doors and rooms and corridors!” She’s almost bouncing. Yikes.
It’s equal parts amusing and vaguely disturbing. “You’re also adding crossbows and spike pits, aren’t you?”
Her grin is truly terrifying. “Don’t go trespassing in buildings you’re not supposed to be in and you won’t find out.” So that’s a yes. Though I still have the job at the bar, so...I shouldn’t need to unless I’m lending Shirogane a hand again...
He starts standing up and reluctantly takes Amagi’s hand helping him up. “This is pathetic.”
“Yes, you are.” She didn’t even miss a beat! Now he’s rethinking his life choices...again… “I can even throw in some homemade food.”
“Okay, now I’m definitely not coming…” He hasn’t forgotten Mystery Food X after all these years. He’d be safer off dumpster diving.
“I live alone, so I improved. I had to.” Well...maybe...if she’s been eating her own cooking for years and hasn’t croaked yet, he’s maybe not going to die of food poisoning or simple crimes against edible substances.

Sure, it is utterly humiliating sitting here on the street huddling further into his jacket, but you know, why not. It’s raining and everything else is already awful and it hadn’t really occurred to him how pathetic all of this is, that his current possessions all fit in his messenger bag. Not well, but he just stuffed them in.
