The idea here for the title is that Yosuke in this universe is a law nerd and has done a decent number of civil cases—so he’d know debt terms. The debt remains the same; i.e. he doesn’t think he’s paid it off or that the terms of the contract should change and no amount of ‘you’re not at fault’ judgments from others will make him believe it. I also considered some ‘representing yourself’ terms, since he’s essentially the one putting himself on trial, but.
I don’t know what it is about this specific song that makes me go ‘this is the Verdict reasoning/putting together the pieces/thinking song’, but. It is what it is.
he's not kidding about Kanji's fashion, btw, man's one of the most well-dressed yakuza around. Unlike his counterpart he doesn't have a full gold suit and switches it up, but if you see one of the most eye-catching shirts particularly if it's got some sort of metallic pattern on it it's probably Kanji. (Honestly, he might be making one-of-a-kind shirts himself because he's awesome.) Not over the top, not gaudy, but he absolutely would fit right in at a nightclub.

Warning: Implied homophobia

Yosuke eyes him, and he flushes. “You better not be implying what I think you’re implying, because that’s downright rude. Maybe when I was younger, I would’ve agreed, because I was a jerk when I was a kid, but damn it, Seta-kun, this is Kamurocho. Sanada-san is a great friend and great backup, especially when you’re over here being busy actually having a life and succeeding and judging me for the life I’ve barely managed to scrape together after everything fell apart with no help from you. Because you. Weren’t. There.” He pokes Seta, and despite himself Souji steps back.

warnings: shinjiro swearing

Yosuke being depressed after Saki-senpai dies gets vaguely comedic. Presented here in script-like form:

Yosuke sprawls, uncaring of his fate and determined to waste away

Sanada starts making him a protein shake

(Sanada, determined)

I’m not losing anyone else.

Aragaki bursts through the wall

(Aragaki, angry)

You’re doing it all wrong, asshole.

Aragaki proceeds to whip up a feast in about an hour

(Aragaki, still angry)

That’s how you do it. Now Akihiko can get back to doing important things, like collections.

*points a threatening finger in Yosuke’s direction*

I still hate you, by the way, especially now that you’re being such a pathetic little bitch.

Aragaki leaves, Sanada and Hanamura staring after him in shock.

(Yosuke, faintly)

Thanks?

(Amagi, distantly)

Please tell me the Patriarch will pay for that wall. Hanamura can’t; he’s unemployed.

Part of the reason this fic was abandoned was the subject matter. It was slated to be an Akihiko/Minato fic, but then I started to think about the weird potentially dubcon considering Minato's also Akihiko's Persona, and that...didn't quite feel right. So I had trouble writing it or finishing it. Which is why it is where it is and will probably stay that way. That being said, there were definitely some parts/lines I liked, and despite it all I find Isabel interesting. She might appear in something else, maybe, and if anyone wants to see Akihiko or Minato(Makoto) they are probably going to show up in future fic. Or rather, future chapters of current fic...

Continuing of the posting of Really Old Things I Probably Won't Finish, because #JobHuntingIsHard. Or something.
Reminder that I will still attempt to finish anything not labeled alternative paths, no matter how long it takes. Alternate versions of chapters don't count, and I figure if I haven't even gotten one clue of where I want to go with the story after five years, the plotbunnies have well and truly abandoned it.

I...kind of forgot, going home, that my school laptop is the only one that I've actually set up after switching to Windows 10. So I've got barely anything on there, and couldn't post anything. Bummer.
Mild spoilers, possibly, in summary below.
I'm back today, though! I'm intrigued by how much more dynamic Junpei seems, given the difference between how he acts when he's around the MC as opposed to the FeMC. When he's around the MC, he's girl-crazy, annoying, won't shut up. When he's around FeMC, he's somewhat protective, whines about the Leader being a girl (which quickly earns Mitsuru's wrath)...and yet. He more or less offers to be FeMC's wingman. He thinks she's cute, but he also takes her seriously, especially when he gets over his jealousy. In fact, he's more polite and respectful and treats her like an equal than he does for the MC. It doesn't even feel like his relationship with Chidori is tossed aside in the name of dating sim, and I really, really like that. It makes Junpei a more well-rounded character, and I really like well-rounded, believable characters, because they make the plot itself more well-rounded and believable. (I'm also amused by how much the 'blank slate' FeMC turned out to have such a huge personality.)

Main Points: Persona 3
Chapter Summary: Junpei, Wingman.
Word Count: 174
Rating: Gen? (Two curse words, though. It is Junpei.)
Note: It is in second person. Not 100% sure why, except, well, protag. Also, it makes it easier to not use a name, just in case you put in a different name than I did.

“Akihiko, you had better treat her right.” Given the tone, it’s fairly easy to misconstrue the words as jealous or something, but Junpei’s actually genuinely concerned about your well-being.

Your senpai sputters, and the response from the boxer is…less than encouraging. But he’s startled, and he’s not the best with social situations. “What are you, her brother?”

“Nah,” Junpei states with a fake nonchalance that’s every bit backed up by real steel. “I’m her wingman, her best friend, and I’m the guy that’s going to kick your ass if you pull any crap with her. If I even hear you made her cry, I’m definitely coming for you.” He turns to you and smiles, a genuine smile that is great to see. Talking to the girl he’s too shy to ask her name is helping a lot, apparently. “I’m not too worried, given that it’s Akihiko-senpai and all, but still…”

“I’ll give any girl you date the same speech,” you answer with a grin and high-five. Then you turn to a still-speechless Senpai. “Ready?”

....I need Persona 4 icons. I own the series, so maybe I'll screencap a few pics at some point.
Help, the bad puns, they just keep coming.
I was wondering what was up with my writing style at this point, and I figured it out. I'm doing the Japanese exposition thing (prominent, for example, in Bleach). So that makes more sense now.
Next 'issue' is where things get really exciting. We get to see a little more of how all this superhero stuff works in Personatown.
Also a little interlude with Mitsuru and Akihiko, dialogue only, because this world is more than just a few superheroes and it's short and funny and probably will never be more on its own, so why not include it as a little present here? (It probably won't make sense if you haven't at least seen pictures of Arena, though.)
